Dust-off
Slotting in an eleventh-hour Gundam-related posting before the end of the month, after the extensive focus on the two Deluxe Class Arcees from "Transformers: Prime" earlier on. ^^
While this posting would seem more suited to be published around Chinese New Year in
mid February, as it represents situations that may be faced by Gunpla collectors while doing their spring cleaning, I think the topic is still general enough to be discussed now. ^^
One can always prepare early for next year's spring cleaning. XD
In line with a couple of postings I did on repairing and maintaining some of my old kits in the past, this one is about cleaning dust off old Gunplas that have been standing inside my display cabinet since forever. ^^; Master Grade Ground Type Gundam is here as the first example to demonstrate how serious the dust issue has become for my old Gunplas over the years: ^^;
Since my display cabinet has been jam-packed with kits of different scales since the beginning to maximize its shelf space, taking the kits out in proper order so that they can be returned to their "original" shelf positions later is very much an endeavour in its own rights. ^^;
Despite the trouble, I did clean my cabinet Gunplas in the past, albeit with unfortunate, troublesome
aftermath. ^^; To avoid the same problem from happening again, I found a new tool to clean my models, which I'm going to talk about in this posting.
And no, it's not
Zippo lighter fluid. ^^
