Model Painting Stand Set

Before I tried out the first one, was holding things on top of a spray can our something else suitable with some sort of tape. For me at least this was not ideal, and would occasionally experienced a dropped body. I'm referring to the piece with the wire designed to hold car bodies and similar. I wished this was sold separately, I would have purchased more if it were. The other stand while useful, is not as helpful to me, though it has it's place. The included clips are shape/weight sensitive, limiting their versatility, as some pieces are prone to slip off. The aftermarket clips are different, which use alligator clips. These hold better, but can mar plastic surfaces, and don't slip into the stand as easily. Finally, the stand can tip over if used unbalanced, and space inefficient. I prefer my cat scratching pad with rod clips.

This is another tool that I don't know how I ever got along with out it. It is simple and most effective in what it is designed to do. The wire clips that are part of the smaller of the two turntables is amazing is simpilicty of design, and most effective in doing its job. I don't build 1/24 scale race cars so I can't say about how it works in holding a car body, but I can tell you that it is very good in holding tank hulls, and upper decks. The other one I use mostly to hold sprues with smaller parts as a sort of holding area for construction and painting. I purchased an additional set of clips to add more holding ability. But if you do get the set of four alligator clips don't use them for holding a finished figure or whatever, THEY WILL leave tooth marks on your figure or whatever you may be holding. All in all I found this item to be most helpful, and highly recommend it for both the novice and experienced builder.

When I got in the hobby I noticed this item, and over the past year been debating of getting it or not. After two orders with hobbylinc, I thought it was time to try it. and I was super surprise of how much this is to use compared to paint can stands. All I can say is that this item is must for anyone in the hobby. I have bought one so far, but I plan on buying at least 2 more for me and my wife to use. Don't wait to buy, buy it now!!!
