I know this is a stupid question but did anyone find a way how to keep dust
off of displayed sets other than putting them in a glass-covered bookcase?

Airbrush.  I suppose a can of compressed air would work, probably better.

Canned air works really well, so long as you do it regularly.  Once the dust
builds up, canned air doesn't work as well (but still pretty good).

Which is why I use the airbrush - I already have it, so it is essentially free.
It isn't perfect, but it's quick!


However, it's a touch expensive, and there's cheaper, and just as easy
solutions out there.  A decent fine-haired brush (camel hair, or the like)
works great, and a plain old toothbrush will quite happily take care of
anything more persistant that mere dust.

as always, YMMV.

Arrrrrgggghhhhhh.  Windsor-Newton Series 7 for cleaning Lego?  Never!  I'll try
a synthetic hair brush.  I'll still pre-dust it with the air brush.
