Guys, I've got a problem, having moved house twice in the last 2 years, all of my models were transported & stored in Banana boxes. They are now covered in a fairly thick layer of dust & cak. What's the best way to clean them (gently) without ruining them? The vast majority are highly-glossed so filth on a camo-scheme just won't work! Any helpful hints & tips would be greatly appreciated!

In the past I have found a showerhead attachment, a large soft paintbrush and a sink full of soapy water to be the only real remedy.

instead of the "large soft paintbrush" get a "cosmetic-brush" (or whatever it's called) from the ladies cosmetic section. It looks like a small shaving brush with long and very soft bristles.

I spend a lot of time perusing the cosmetic counters on model related business (the plastic kit assembly models obviously)......get lots of strange looks from the counter staff and passers by

Agree with the cosmetic brush, it is very soft and very adept at getting dust and loose particles from delicate kits without damage. For the not so delicate, and large areas, try toilet papper lightly moistened with soapy hot water. wipe dry with further paper.
