Dust isn't a concern when the sets are in boxes ;-) Millennium City was built
during a seven day period in early October then dismantled once the pictures
were taken. I just don't have the room to house a LEGO Town that's almost as
big as my main Living room at the moment.
Many of the sets were assembled for the first time for the Millennium City
project. In other words I had quite a lot of MIB sets that I opened for the
first time as I constructed the town. #6373 "Bike Shop" which appears in the
photo is a good example.
Used and second hand sets were cleaned piece by piece by hand. I hate dust with
a passion because sets lose their sparkle once the dust settles so I went to a
great deal of trouble to cover sets that were assembled and waiting to be added
to the town. The bulk pieces I purchased for instance the cone trees were brand
new so no cleaning was necessary.
I can't offer any advice on how to keep a town of that size dust free except
maybe replicate one of those facilities at computer chip making factories that
are completely dust free. Two immediate problems I see with this method are:
1) %$#@!! expensive
2) You'd have to wear a suit while playing with your Town as I think the whole
room would be a vacumm.
With smaller layouts a bedsheet should do the trick. If you can handle knocking
over the odd tree etc each time you put the cover on and take it off then dust
shouldn't be a major problem.

| (...) Ahh, your sets are new. I thought the city was displayed for a long period of time. I have a 3' x 4' castle, nowhere near the size of your town, and I put a plastic table cloth over it. And yes, I've knocked over the odd minifig... Yeah I hate (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.town)
