Curatorial Abstract
Simple atelier habits that keep cheatlines, antennas, and walnut plinths display-ready.
Museum-grade diecast rewards a light touch. Dust with a soft brush, never a damp cloth across pad-printed registry marks. Keep models away from direct sun so polyurethane finishes do not chalk.
Walnut and brass pedestals prefer dry indoor air. Wipe metal stands with a dry microfibre cloth. If a pitot tube or antenna loosens in transit, our Islamabad desk can advise before you attempt a repair.
Store spare foam cradles from the original carton. They are the safest way to move a piece between desks or exhibition cases.
