Hi guys,
I was looking at my layout earlyer today and the parts that I finished a while ago are VERY dusty. So I thought, ok, that is normal. Well it has been like 3-4 months since I worked on this particular section (Magic Pan Backery Complex and surrounding roads) and there was so much dust on the roads and buildings that when I took my finger and made a streak down it, it looked like there were walls of dust around it!! Now that is discousting lol
I got a foam brush (5" wide) and went to work. I wet it down with water and then began to scrap the dust off. I wet it down so that the dust would stick to the foam and not just be pushed around. About every 5" or so I would have to take the brush off and re-move the "wet dust" off the foam. It was like I would do a 5" x 5" sqaure and then I would have to clean the brush off. It worked anyways and now the scene looks good as new (or at least when I fist did it).
I think that I am going to do some more hosue cleaning on the layout in other areas because if there was that much dust on just that lil part of my layout, who knows how much more is on the other parts to. The celing fan in my room probly does not help either, lmao, but I also wipe the tops of the blades down once a month.
So my question is to you guys, what other methods do you use to keep your layouts "clean" or keeping dust to a minimal on the layout. I really don't want to have to do this every month, lol, but I guess you can't just keep the dust out.
