So I dug out a box of my car kits from like 10 years ago (yaaaaaaa ! mom didn't chuck them all ! )
UNFORTUNATELY... Dust permiated the boxes, and made my life a dusting nightmare.
After looking around on this awesome forum, I didn't notice a "dusting" specific thread, so ...
'fess up !
Other than the comedy reply (I keep mine in an airtight case) hurr hurr....
How do you d00dz clean the crud out of the small nooks and crannies ?
Obviously we can't use cleaning chemicals, and ther eis only so far that Q-Tips can go.
Are those 25.00 mini vacume any good?
Post and discuss. Thanks. :alien:

Warm soap and water, SOFT SOFT cloth, Q-tips, and depending on the type of paint, rubbing alcohol too. :)

Those compressed air cans work good for cleaning out dust in those tight places.:)

You have to make sure to keep a distance from the can though, because of the spray pattern and pressure it can strip the paint of your model. Like a sand blasting effect.
