Question Dusting, Lint, Dander, Crud, and dirt How to clean models ?

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.
