Default Question for all the Taxidermists

I have a 10 year old mount of a woodcock, resting on a wooded base. The base has all kinds of delicate details such as leaves, grasses, forbs, twigs, and dirt. I have been able to keep the bird itself dust free BUT my question is HOW DO I GET THE DUST OF THE BASE AND ALL THE EXTRAS. It is very fragile.

I understand is difficult, usually I use my air compressor and blow air very slighty over it, and also use a 2 inch soft paint brush to dust it, you just need patience and do it slow.
