This is my model room. First off, I painted the walls and ceiling with gloss white. this helps your lights keep everything bright, and the gloss paint makes everything wipe clean. I use Swiffer wipes. Next I covered the floor with a professional grade painters tarp, and tack-nailed it around the whole baseboard. One of the most important things I did was to attach two heavy duty rolls of clear plastic to the closet and kit shelf areas. I roll them down, tape the edges, and paint away! the plastic is great for two reasons: 1)cuts down on cleaning, 2)most importantly, these act as HUGE static-lint catchers!! I do not exaggerate when I say that I RARELY have to polish-out anything that sticks to my paintjobs. Finally, I don't know how, but I have perfect painting conditions ALL year long!! even the humidity level stays at 45% all year round!! I hope this helps you in any way with your modeling. nobody likes humidity, lint sticking to a perfect paintjob, or having to stop due to weather or seasons change. -thanx for looking! questions welcome!
