Ever since I started using 3.0 readers for painting I've noticed more dust on my figures when I'm painting.
Now we are fairly neat people, dusting and vacuuming weekly, but figures on my painting table still get some dust on them. What do you do to prevent this? Put a cloth over them, when you are not painting? |

Or put them under a take away food container to shield them from dust while they wait for you. |

I rinse them on some water and then pat them dry. I have started to keep them in plastic containers so that I don't have to rinse but also to help me see what I have to paint. |

I've never had a problem with it with figures on the painting table. Now figures off of the painting table, on the side of the painting table and so forth, that is a problem. Some of them get very dusty. I do what 45thdiv does and just flow water over them if they are too dusty and work on something else until they are dry. |

If they've been sitting for a long time a rinse is essential, but some amount of dust is unavoidable at any time, so give them a dusting with a largish brush before you paint, and remove any odd hairs etc. you spot during painting with a pair of tweezers. Anything you don't notice at this point is unlikely to be seen later and therefore isn't a problem. |

I keep a can of compressed air on the bench and use that to before I start a painting session. If I need to store the figures imbetween sessions I put them in a large plastic cake holder I purchased at Wal Mart. I drilled holes in the sides for air flow. |

I have an old large soft bristled brush for this purpose. I had to have been away awhile to notice an accumulation though. |

Quick blast from the airbrush @ 50psi. |

I use glass cake covers (the hand blown kind) to cover figs while I'm not working on them.I have 5 of them of different sizes. |

Yea, keep them in storage all the time, until they are finished. |

Thanks gents, seems storage is the way to go. |
begins to think about terrain for Team Yankee.
