Just take pictures of all your models and keep the pictures only.
That's the surest way to see them at their best conditions.
Ya know, it hurts to see a wing broken or a landing gear strut gone!

I could not help but notice this comment from Papermate.
As a gesture of encouragement to all those that want the enjoyment of displaying their work for many many (more than 10) years . . .
This image shows the Digital Navy Oregon that I finished 14 years ago.
The dust cover is hand made. The wood frame of the cover has darkened, but the model shows no signs of change or deterioration. It appears as it did when it was finished.
Even so, it comes nowhere near the age of "Merrick's Mainz Cathedral" that Airdave refers to in the previous post.
Whether purchased or hand made, a dust cover seems to be a very effective method for preserving this kind of work.
