Does anybody else have a problem with dust flecks accumulating on their miniatures? I've been working on a big project for several weeks, going slow - Magnus the Red. I'm quite pleased with how it's turning out but when I look under the magnifying glass I notice tiny white specks on parts of it. I've had this before with miniatures, particularly if I take a while painting them and they stand around on the desk before going in the display case. Has anybody else had this problem and—more importantly—found a solution?

If its dust simply placing them in a dust free sealed container would protect the models.

Other sources could be paint flicking off a stray hair on your brush or splatter from the primer spray or an airsprayer if you use either of them (though normally at least the primer would get masked over by later layers, but can sometimes still seep through if your layers are thin)
