Model Holder??

Bump for a first-time poster.

Here are some jigs by JH Models.  They are really for alignment, but you could make something similar out of foamcore board.

Exaclty what I was looking for! Thank you

Welcome!

I use some old Legos-put some Silly Putty in the wheel wells, a couple of smaller Legos to raise it a bit.  You will need to change the configuration if you want to lay it flat upside down, but the Legos make a good base for me for painting, weathering & applying decals.

An old coathanger works pretty good. I use to mount a coat hanger on a old record player and spin it as I painted.

Man, I've seen that Lego trick a few times now. I really need to pick up a box because that is brilliant. Way better than cutting some scrap wood up and gluing it to plywood to make a jig.

I use leggos to build cradles as well. very flexible.

I have a better shot of seeing Moses than sneaking Legos from my son.  I use little plastic cups, that I can move around with ease as a method of holding up the model.

I keep a supply of dowels around in various sizes.  Usually at the point where I am airbrushing there are some holes that I can stick dowels in.  Prop mounting hole for prop planes, maybe tailpipe for jets. I drilled a couple of holes in my workbench to stick a dowel in after painting so it holds model up.  I also keep a wire v-shaped piece on my bench that sticks into LG strut holes (I always put LG on after painting.
