I did something similar for my ships until their transparent cases are done.
I cut 2 pieces of celophane with the shape of the ship, then put them together with tape and you get a sort of hood you can put on the ship very easily,  so the ship is dust free and also you can see it-  :love:

I'll keep that in mind if the PROCESS ever gets that far.... ;)

is the front sealed too?  how do you play with them if the plastic is in the way?  hehe.

funny tidbit:  over 80% of household dust consists of dead human skin flakes.  yummy!

so, aside from covering with plastic, you could alternatively decide to stop molting! hehehehe :p

Glad you all like it! Gaston, that's a great method to use for ships! When I eventually get my first pirate ship I may do that.  ;D

Luis, it sure gets dusty at my house! We have road construction going on all around us, new houses being built behind us, and we recently had a remodel in our house, so there's dust EVERYWHERE.

Tim, I do like the idea of a frame. It would probably help a lot with covering a larger building.

@BP: yes, the cellophane drapes down the front and then is just tucked under. So it's easy to lift it out of the way if I need to adjust something. But this shop is mostly for display anyway, and all the pieces are held in place with sticky tack.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

hmm, i usually keep the dust off my ships by actually playing with them in the water.  I just realized they never sit long enough to really collect dust.  so that's another method to add as well!  play with your toys! :)

 :lol: Yeah, that helps too, but it doesn't keep my shelves looking very neat! :P
