You know how sometimes shining the light into the right (wrong) place can reveal all? Well, the sunlight in the basement was just right- the sheer amount of dust per plane would boggle the mind, but nothing compared to the spider webs between each- tens and tens of strand between each airplane- up and down and side to side; very silky stuff, ya can't even feel em with your fingers. Walmart bulbs beat natural sunlight down in these depths.

Hehe. Been there, done that. About four months ago, I was getting embarrased by the amount of dust accumulating on my twin tank cabinets. I think it took me an hour and a half to remove the vehicles from the cabinet (about 100 or so) clean the glass shelves, dab off the dust from the vehicles, then neatly park them in their assigned spaces.

Keep in mind my wife has been asking me to do that for the better of a year.

I use lots of bottled air duster and a makeup brush to clean all my models. The dust gets pretty thick. It's even more of a pain in the arse with the model railroad equipment since its all so damn fragile. :x :x

For whatever reason 1/72 scale seems to collect dust much faster than any other scale IMHO. I have had landing gear snap from the weight. :roll:

Wow, that must be some radioactive charged dust you got there. You live near the Trinity test site in New Mexico? :lol:
