This is something that comes up in the model horse hobby every now and then. How concerned are you about dust on your collection?

Hahaha, one already voted for: I'm supposed to remove the dust?!?! XD

Well, not that concerned Wink On the white models I do, because dust can be very sticky.
Also, with 4 cats and a dog, although my entire collection is upstairs, it can be a bit hairy XD

Everything is behind glass, so I don't need to dust..... well I dusted my collection in the glasscabinet last year, for the first time in 5 years.

I do that also sometimes, - but usually the shelves are more dusty than the models Laughing

I dust about twice a year. My horses once, and my people and bayala twice or thrice. My buildings I dust every week, the roofes get dusty! Like the little glass windows in the roof of the 2014 stable, 3 times a week, one of the OCD things! But my fairy orb thingy I dusted for the first time, such a pain since you have to get into the cobblestone cracks!

Hmm, than it's time to clean the apartment very studiously I'm the one having to whip away dust from everywhere, that includes my collection.
Otherwise it's then I notice the shelf is more grey than black. Most of them is behind glass for now, and don't need dusting so often, but some of them is
standing on black shelves. I can get rather annoyed if I touch the shelf and the dust becomes "uneven". But at the same time I just really don't like having
to pick up all the stablemates for cleaning, they are on one of the black shelves Neutral
I'd say I dust every other month or so, sometimes more often, sometimes it takes longer... My concept of time is ridiculously bad.
Much of the dusting is for the shelves and not the animals. The animals I mostly just runs my fingers over.
I'm afraid of damaging them otherwise... I tried to clean a stablemate with water and a bit of paper once and removed the paint...
It's not like they are standing in the kitchen so no sticky dust as of now.
