Sometimes it is difficult to find a clean, dust-free surface where you can set your model while painting it. Try an empty CD jewel case. There always seems to be one around — or you can buy a pack of them new for not very much. Lay the model on the case (open or closed as you wish) and paint away. When you are finished, you can hold the case by its edges and carry the model to a safe, dust-free drying zone.
