Any genius advice for this?

I like to have all of mine out, rather than hidden away but they don't half get dusty. Currently using a couple of small paint brushes but still can't get into all the detail areas.

Afraid that vacuuming or an air duster would do damage.

I've used a camera lens puffer brush for this job

Which reminds me, now I'm back at it I'd best get another

What type and scale are they - metal, plastic, cars, aircraft?

I think the key is prevention rather than cure, but I guess one doctor shouldn't have to point that out to another tongue out

Maybe treat them on a 'case by case' basis? hehe

You bugger laugh

1:18 cars and mostly covertibles. I looked at getting cases for them but I prefer having them out.

I use one of these
Duster

Seems to work really well.

And if this pants weather continues I might even get to use it on my 85% completed Cutty Sark (for the other Dr. that comment smile)
