Model Maintenance Guide: How to Keep Your Display Model as Good as New for Ten Years

Exquisite architectural models are not only showcases of design achievements but also valuable artworks worthy of long-term preservation. We provide professional maintenance guidelines for every client to ensure your model remains in optimal condition over time.

Four Essential Elements of Daily Maintenance
  • Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to lightly dust the surface monthly. For stubborn stains, gently apply a small amount of model-specific cleaning solution with a cotton swab. Avoid chemical solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
  • Scientific Dust Prevention: For long-term display, it is recommended to use a custom acrylic cover. If an uncovered display is preferred, maintain the model weekly with a professional air blower.
  • Lighting Management: Avoid direct sunlight exposure. It is recommended to use professional display cabinet lighting with a color temperature below 4500K, limiting daily illumination to no more than 8 hours. Ultraviolet rays can accelerate material aging and discoloration.
  • Humidity Control: The ideal preservation humidity range is 40%–60%. In southern regions, a dehumidifying cabinet is recommended, while in dry northern climates, a small amount of moisturizer can be placed inside the display cabinet. A hygrometer is essential for monitoring conditions.
Professional In-Depth Maintenance

We recommend a professional maintenance check every 2–3 years, including:

  • Structural stability inspection
  • Lighting system servicing
  • Reinforcement of delicate components
  • Surface gloss restoration
Emergency Handling

In case of accidental damage, immediately photograph the condition and contact the model manufacturer.
