Pretty useful: I'm really interested in comparing it to the JH Models stand I currently use, which I like less and less as time goes on, though it's still quite useful.

Gazzas Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Unlike the Third Hand, this one is gravity dependent. Since the photos I've added felt strips to the areas that contact the model. I reckon it's the minimum setup required for a biplane build. I got mine from BNA. Also, it's easy to knock apart if you put it together with CA. Two part epoxy works better. I wanted the Third hand, but the facebook page has been unused forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfuf Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hello yes I design this it looks almost exactly like mine. Never seen this Kronos third hand. I was too busy with my Job to get this in to production and what is not the biggest problem, it is more the sales and customer contact sending spares. I do still use them my design is more modulair and capabel of keeping large models and minimum frame work in the way. Oh and my advice dont buy chinese magnet holder then it will not last long. I now use the Noga brand best in the business well that one keeps up a Trumpeter 1/32 Tomcat full of Zacto resin parts very reliable. this year my job will get more relaxed and I get more time for projects like these so then I am able to make a few sets. sets that can handle 4 engine bombers to just single engine ww1 fighter.

STWilliams Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I've got a Third Hand. I've been researching it & I've sourced about 95% of the parts to make one. If there's enough interest, I'd seriously consider making & selling them in volume? Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can own it as a $145 resin kit, although considering it's mostly blocks and cylinders I'd rather drop that kind of resin money on an HPH kit.

Out2gtcha Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I've wanted one of these for years honestly, but it's the same situation as years gone by....... His web site address isn't and hasn't been connected to a domain for years and the last active post he made on FB was 6 years ago. I'd LOVE to have one of these, but he hasn't responded to PMs in years. I hope I'm wrong though, as I'd really love one. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
