Model Painting Stand Base Holder and 12PCS Magnetic Bendable Alligator Clip Sticks Set Modeling Tools for Airbrush Hobby Model Parts

Not sure why the other reviewer had an issue with these holding onto models, the clips are covered with soft plastic and work great, strong magnetic connection to base - great product.

As of right now, I am letting a model dry while having the alligator clips hold on to the parts, and as far as I've gotten, this is extremely useful. I have used it for practice on a Gundam kit, and it makes things much easier. I like how you can take the rubber off of the clips, and how they can bend a large amount, and also come in a fancy sliding box. The only thing I can maybe complain about is them being maybe a tad bit too strong in terms of grip strength, as it can mess up a bit of the weathering or paint on whatever you're using it on. I haven't really seen it mess up actually paint, but if you use weathering kits applied by a sponge and brush, then it might be better to try and experiment in finding a better location to clip them on, or if you're patient, wait a while. TLDR; High quality, pretty efficient, pretty high grip strength, might mess with dry applied paints/weathering.

Very useful for clamping small parts or holding them in an easy position to spraypaint or airbrush. I first saw this unit advertised on Facebook, and while the concept was interesting the price was certainly not. So I did a bit of online browsing via an image search, and discovered that good old Jeff was willing to sell me exactly the same product for less than half the price with free Prime shipping thrown in.

This is JUNK...!! Expensive JUNK put on a very slow boat

I got this as a first step into painting models and miniatures again after decades away from it and it's great. The only issue I've had with it was the lid is a little tricky to get back on if you remove it completely. It weighs nearly nothing but is sturdy enough and weighs enough to be a stable base for painting. The magnets are strong and the clips can hold pretty large model pieces. However, the clips are the only real issue - sometimes they just can't grip things well. I'm going to upgrade to a much bigger one soon.
