I use a Vacuum Clamp for this type of stuff. I couldn't think of a better
way. Works a treat!

I use a piece of that rubber mesh stuff that you use to line tool box
drawers.. usually black and in small rolls..
It grips the work and also allows the dust to sift through the
pores/openings..

Lay them on a piece of sandpaper (to keep them somewhat stationary) and
use a 1/4 pad sander. If that doesn't work well enough for you,
consider double faced tape to hold them down.

When I was building models, I'd either hold a sanding block in a vise,
or use PSA paper on a flat surface. I would then use my finger tips to
move the work back and forth on the sand paper. Friction tape on the
finger tips can help.
