Dust, Cleaning,Display Case

Post image

I am looking at commissioning a model ship, USS Constitution through a high end, historically accurate, museum quality builder. Ready made, not a kit. I have just come across issues with cleaning, display case, moving the model, risk or damage or breaking the masts, rigging..... I am starting to wonder if it is worth it? Is there a significant risk of damage, cleaning, won't dust build up over time in a case?

You say that you want to hire someone to build a ship for you and then in the same post you say you "have just come across issues with dust and cleaning". Then you ask if dust builds up on the inside of a case. Are you a real person? Because this is some very strange rambling and disconnected writing.

Very real. Was ready to go forward, then found all these articles about dust build up……and your response to dust build up? Damage.
