I noticed some of the black areas are dusty, which will happen if you work on a
MOC for an extended period of time.  I've found an ordinary paintbrush works
well for getting dust off--better than washing, and way better than a toothbrush
(I've never tried compressed air).

Compressed air can either be expensive (from the little cans) or sometimes has
traces of oil in it from the compressor.

What I have had good luck with are camelhair brushes. If you buy makeup brushes
it is sometimes possible to get rounded camelhair brushes that are almost an
inch across, making for a fast and convenient cleanup of large areas. Then use a
fine paintbrush as Kyle suggests for the corners and crevices.

Great work!

Thank you very mutch

Seconded. Spotlighted. Someone else did one in black though, didn't they? Or was
that you too?

I think so. My first prototype modules have been build using black bricks
because I did not own enough greys. Then I detected Bricklink.. :-)
