| Richard,this problem of dust is an old one,a quick tip for beginners and those more advanced as well is to take a piece of lint free cloth,place a few drops of ordinary Humbrol varnish onto the pad,then go over your model just befiore you paint,the professional painters use these and they are called 'Tack rags' you can purchase them but the varnish on cloth technique works just as well,also never paint in your best Mohair sweater ! bits fly off jumpers all the time,and when the model has been painted place an old cardboard box over the whole lot and wait until dry,the best place to paint is on a piece of board placed over the bath,here there is far less dust than anywhere in the bathroom,thats a fact.
Another tip is to warm your Humbrol by standing it in a container of warm water,use bluetak to hold it down,the paint goes on beautifully.
