How do you dust your models?
Lets face it, we live in a world of filth. No matter what we do, dust is an enemie. How do you guys dust your models? I just gently wipe them with the underside of a clean shirt.

Re: How do you dust your models?
I use the dog.
He doesn't mind just as long as he gets a biscuit. Seriously, I just blow and use my fingers (something doesn't quite sound right there), but I'll need to get a proper cloth and one of those cans of compressed air to blow with instead.

I don't, they're in a dust-free cabinet.

Re: How do you dust your models?
I drip a few drops of tuna oil on them, and my cats lick them clean.

Steve ... I was thinking about how exciting/funny/rude the blow and fingers comment would have been if I had been the one to post it.  Even worse ... I was going to reply "Yeah, I do that too".  And to think that everyone who meets me thinks I'm so sweet and innocent!  Jo  hehe.Last edited by yyzjo777; 06-28-2008 at 10:57 PM. |
