HobbyZoneUSA Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Figure painters have been using various paint jigs and other devices to hold figures or figure heads while developing the paint and finish of their subjects. I've also treated large scale instrument panels and ejection seats the same way to allow for a better 'hands-off' hold on my own paint subjects. HobbyZone has just released their own paint jig - the Painter's Grip with leather-wrapped grips for comfort: The Painter Grip is a figure painting jig that features a leather-covered handle for comfort while painting miniatures, figures and small models/subassemblies. The Grip is covered with genuine leather which makes even prolonged use comfortable in the hand. The knob at the top of the Grip with the HZ logo controls the clamp that holds your figure or model. A base is included to keep the Grip standing while taking a break or waiting for paint to dry. Main features: grip covered with genuine leather grip onto figures and miniatures mounted on pins to provide maximum level of stabilization (maximum width of gap - 0.2" (5mm)) knob for regulation gap's width desktop base to hold grip upright base will hold grip in one of two angles minimize unintended effects caused by the muscle tremble of your hands usable in either right or left hand product comes ready to use This is handmade product.

LSP_Kevin Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Michael.. Why don't you start a thread in GD and place a link to it and maybe saying what's NEW... that way more people will see it. Actually, we discourage that kind of double posting, so it's not really a good idea. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I love Hobby Zone units, got dozens of 'em. This "painters grip", however, will not be amongst my future purchases. Just seems a solution looking for a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
