Good cloth to wipe a model down after a wash?
I have a TON of detail on this turbolaser tower I'm modeling which will get knocked off if I don't use a good cloth of some kind to wipe down the model after a wash. Since this is a one-off made from thousands of tiny paper parts that could be ripped away from the model if I use something that is too rough or stiff, I'm not sure what would work the best... does anyone know of a good cloth type I could use to do this without destroying the details?
If a redhead works at a bakery, does that make him a gingerbread man?

Why not just hang it in a warm place and let it air-dry? I usually do that, and while it's hanging there I might use a piece of Kleenex to lift off any big droplets.

Try using the air from an airbrush to dry out around the details. Also q-tips and tissue paper twisted into a wick.

I think you should try not to be messy with the wash. I think some folks call it a pen wash when the wash is more precisely applied and then clean up any rough edges with a q-tip. It would also go better if the model had a good gloss coat applied prior to the wash.
Good luck.
