Building sets are not disposable hobbies.
They are long-term companions.
Proper care protects not only pieces, but the time and emotion invested in them.
1. Dust – The Invisible Enemy
Dust slowly changes color, texture, and feeling.
Weekly routine:
-
soft brush for surfaces
-
air blower for corners
-
avoid wet wipes
Water leaves marks.
Rubbing creates scratches.
Gentleness wins.
2. Light Changes Everything
Sunlight is beautiful but dangerous.
Direct light can:
-
fade colors
-
weaken materials
-
dry connections
Choose shadow over brightness.
3. Cleaning Without Fear
If deeper cleaning is needed:
-
separate large sections
-
use lukewarm water only
-
dry naturally
-
never use soap or alcohol
Think like a museum, not a kitchen.
4. Display Is Part of Care
Good display = longer life.
-
stable shelf
-
acrylic cover
-
away from heat
Protection is respect.
