qb is right! this is what i usually do too....you can also hide the seam lines at this phase before you paint....

from what i've read, you can use cement to close the seam lines and then just sand away the excess. otherwise, if you're building MG's, the seamlines are placed in such a way that they look like panel lines.

or if you just have Tamiya cement, you can use those too. when you apply the cement in between parts, don't worry about the excess in between. it will ooze (tama ba term? after you close the parts. when it dries, you can sand it off and the seam lines are instantly erased. hope that helps.

well it's up to you if you want to keep sanding or if you don't mind the seam lines then just let it be....
usually the cement trick works for me....so i guess the last resort will be applying putty....
have you practice spray painting yet? keep us posted....and good luck!
