    Mounting and painting support

    Hi
    For some time now I am planning to build a support to be able to support the models, especially the planes, which will allow me to mount and paint them. Here I leave a basic idea that I have developed which is working very well although after going using it I am looking to make some modifications.
    I would like you to tell me what you think the support, what improvements you would make and what support you usually use.



    A greeting and I hope you like it

    Hi Carlos.

    This looks good but I'm afraid someone's beaten you to it:

      Hi
      Very interesting, did not know. I have several improvements thought for my support which will be more versatile for almost all the scale of airplanes, I hope to make them soon and to be able to show them.
      Thank you very much for the message and a greeting

        Hello friends
        I would like to know if someone has come to make something similar to the support I have shown here.
        a greeting

          I've got a big box of flexible coolant pipes that I use for 3:rd hand applications and flexible support.
          I just add a piece of rubber or foam on the end pieces if I support something delicate, otherwise I've got crocodile clips.

          These plastic Flexible Coolant Pipes have been primarily used to spray refrigeration or washing fluid for machine tools but, thanks to their articulation, they can be used in a multitude of different ways as well. We use them as extra arms for our third h





          Very handy stuff!
          I've also got a camera tripod made of the same flexible coolant pipes that can either stand on any surface or wrap around something and hang. Very versatile!

          If I was building a lot of air planes I would probably build some sort of jig instead, like you've done, but these coolant pipes are fantastic at holding/holding up things!

            I loved it, very original. Now my question, I would like to know what price it has?
