Dremil, emery board, fine grit sandpaper, hobby knife (for the really big and easy to remove stuff)

Beware the raised offset! This may need putty to obliterate it properly.

and steel wool, don't forget about the steel wool.
Also a nice set of hobby needle files come in handy from time to time.

Mainly I clean most kits with a rotary tool and a Lasco Titanium bit. This bit is amazing and helps speed clean up along very well.

Bit #31P This is my main workhorse bit! I highly recommend it!

Thanks for the link Danno! Your Bronze Capt. is sick bro. Any tips on sanding tho? I am afraid of damaging the sculpt.

Also, any quiet compressor recommendations? I have an Iwata eclipse Hp-BCS that I used only once with propellant and the horror stories came true.
I am looking for a small, low noise compressor but my budget isn't too high.

You can use some fine sanding sponges you can get at Automotive stores or craft stores. I like to use them because it allows you to gauge how much material you're removing slowly.

You could try the Silentaire Scorpion series of compressors from Dixie Art. Here's a link: www.dixieart.com
