Hi André,
yes I used 180er sanding paper. The contour is printed to a self-adhesive paper to back side of the sanding pager. Then the step pads are cutted out and the self-adhesive paper is removed before gluing the pads to the model.
Thank you very much Günter! I am worried that my cutting will not be as precise as yours or if using a plotter ... let's see! :D

Best regards, André

Not sure how to interpret this. I just hope it's a joke. Most of us here are nowhere close to Günther's league, but have great fun with our models anyway. :D
It was meant as a joke, Gunther's build is another league as you say, i am the best builder in my Cul-de-sac..... the only builder in the Cul-de-sac.
another joke.
Martin.
