Dust control

Post by **Formendacil** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 4:55 pm

I'm well-acquainted with dusty Lego. For years I kept my sets in more or less their original forms, and that means dust. Also, I currently live within half a kilometre of a peat-moss packing plant. So, I try not to leave the window open. Still, I periodically have to scrub the prominent black, blue, and green pieces in my creations, so as to restore them to their original colour. I typically use lukewarm water and an old toothbrush. I generally don't worry about the bulk of my castle creations: grey. Dust doesn't really affect its colour, and it kind of adds to the feel. Makes it look sort of dirty and sandy.

Dust? What duu duu duuuuuusttt! Ha Ha. I never worry about dust. I don't think I will ever have a moc together long enough to worry about it. I did once (in a brief moment of insanity) wash a couple sets in water, but snoorreee, it was to boring and not worth the effort.

In your case, no. In some others, the tops of their never-taken-apart castles ought to be black. Not grey.

My big castle has been around in part going back to 1988. It was so dirty when I got The Lego Room (see the dark age thread) I hosed it off on my driveway. I've given smaller MOCs showers to kill off pesky dust bunnies.
