A Starter Into Modeling - Spreading My Knowledge

Some of you may know that my fiance is Carly Findlay and over Easter I will be going to visit her parents and build a Steam Locomotive with her father Roger. It will be a great experience to pass on some of my skills to someone else. I love building models and love passing on any knowledge I can to others. I find that when I have some free time I always try to build a model or two. I have had a passion for building models ever since my dad taught me. I was brought up in the day where there was no Internet until I was about 10 years old and very limited computer games and consoles. I spent most of my time doing something with my hands, either outside using wood or inside building a model. I almost have a model for every year I've been around nd have taken pride in every single one of them. Once your model is built and you have found somewhere to display it you will need to wipe the dust off them every so often. I find that the best way is to use a pledge grab it dusting cloth, but be careful, you must be very gentile when wiping the dust off. I have damaged some of my models when I cleaned them but only minor, I have always been able to repair them. I don't like anyone else cleaning my models and others don't like ever touching them. Most people are afraid of breaking them and that's why I take the utmost care when cleaning and moving them. I would like a display case for each of my models, but that would be thousands of dollars. I would like a display cabinet to best display my models but most of the off the shelf cabinets aren't deep enough for some of my bigger models. I might have to design or build my own display cabinet to best display my models and stop the dust accumulating on them. It would make life a lot easier because I won't have to clean them as often.
