What do you use to remove the dust from your builds?

[McColm]

This might be an odd question to ask but apart from keeping your finished builds in model cases or cabinets, how do you clean them?
 Some would use an air hose or canister, maybe a soft brush or even a dusting cloth. Is there anything else that I can use?

I use an antistatic brush to remove light dust. It removes the dust without causing more static which would just attract the dust right back again. I had to order one on line. The stores didn't have what I wanted. Shop around, this one looks a little expensive. The can of gas for dusting the computer keyboard seems helpful.

Look in a Photographic shop for an air puffer, they are quite good.

A pony-hair brush, like the one I use for National Trust conservation work, might be a good idea.

I've got a photographer's camera-cleaning brush that I inherited from my late uncle. Very dense but very soft. It seems to do a good job.

I'll look into those suggestions,  thanks

I simply use a large makeup brush.

Me two.  Mrs z gave me an old one some years ago.
Probly the cheapest of all the above options as it has the least specialised use and therefore it's purchasers are likely to not want to pay through the nose.

Yeah, I can't remember where I got it but I bought it new and it was inexpensive. It's very soft bristles mean it doesn't damage the model and it's effective.

I use a large, soft painting brush, tips lightly(!) made wet to take away a bit more than just superficial dust. Tried cosemtic brushes, but they turned out to be too soft, at least for my needs.

Best way to do it probly depends on the nature of your dust and its depth.
