- Removing scuff marks & cleaning paint on older customs
TOOTHPASTE! A mildly abrasive toothpaste with baking soda (such as Arm & Hammer) works
wonders. Simply dip a Q-tip in it and gently rub the model. It removes those yucky "Breyer box yellow" stains too.

Storing custom models
Don't store custom models in plastic for long periods of time. Plastic keeps a model from breathing and many custom models need to "breathe" so they don't become sticky or develop creases and marks in the paint from the plastic. Ideally, customs should be stored in a closed cabinet out of direct sunlight, heat, or cold. (A glass cabinet is great because you can see and enjoy the models!) They should be dusted with a soft, clean blush brush occasionally.
