I don't have anywhere I can put my models where they don't collect dust. What do all of you use to dust them off in a way that won't damage them.

I use a big soft brush I bought at the makeup counter in the drugstore....I think it's for applying blush...not too sure of it's "womanly" use....but it makes a great, gentle duster.

A big soft brush - ditto

Airbrush air if I'm at my bench. I will CAREFULLY use those canned air deals for cleaning computers. Be careful because you can't control the presure that well and they can be strong.
I dust about once every couple months or so.

I have had good results with a combo squeeze bulb blower/brush that I originally got for cleaning camera lenses... since use it for that, come to think of it...

Yep, blush brush, plus I have a larger brush, almost a feather duster, for really delicate things.
