The best 18 bucks i ever spent on my models

While at my LHS the other day I noticed something on my buddies workbench that he was holding for another customer. It looked like a mini dining room table. I asked him what it was and he said it is a spray-work painting stand set from Tamiya(partnumber 74522*1500). It comes with 2 stands. One is a turntable with assorted sized holes for holding sprues. It also comes with 4 clips that fit into slots in the turn table for holding parts. The second stand is the body stand. It has 2 spring clips that push out ward so as to hold a body from the inside for hands free painting. Plus it turns on the base also so the model turns instead of trying to work around the model. Im sure a few of you have created similar things or have similar products but I just had to post this neat little time saver in the forums.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon

I tried using a very light weight plastic turntable once. Found out real quick that I either had to:

1) Spray with lower pressure
2) Spray only in the middle, right over the spindle
3) Catch what I wanted to spray as it went past
