It took me *how long* to finish these models? -)

I was dusting off some of my Aurora re-issues (that really needed it) - Wolfman, Phantom, Creature - when all the loose rats, and lizards, and snakes that I never really glued into place just started to bug me. "Glue me!" they cried out - so I did, only 25 years or so late. -) Amazing they never got lost in all that time... so I finally can say I finished those models!

Of course, starting to re-glue things snowballs, as other parts start falling off after all this time. But now (with fresh glue), they'll last longer than me, maybe.

Speaking of dusting: I saw this:

in a discussion of cleaning collectibles. Pricey as can be, but it does a great job of removing dust from all sorts of nooks and crannies, and even helps with guitar cleaning (dusting around the tuners, for instance). *Very* soft, highly recommended.

PS: And, being the person I am, I still have the instructions that came with the models, so I can tell for sure which rat goes with which model, and where. -) I *knew* I'd need those instructions someday!

Been using one of those for years. Or should have been...

I was surprised how that brush removed dust that I wasn't able to get off with more ordinary brushes and compressed air. I guess all the brush fibres are good at getting into the nooks and crannies I couldn't get to otherwise. A very pleasant surprise.
