Here is something I made to paint multiple figures or model parts.

Here is the items you will need.
1- 61/2x21/4x3/4 ply wood.
1- 8x5x3/4 plywood
5- 5/16 nuts.
6- 5/16 flat washers.
1- 5/16x5 bolt.
4- mini clamps.
4- wood screws.

1-Drill 5/16 hole through the center of each board and counter sink on the under side of the bottom board. This will allow clearence for the bolt head.

2-Slide 5/16 bolt with washer bottom board and tighten with nut and washer on the top side.

3-Thread jamnut,nut and washer about 1" down the bolt. Slide top board on place washer,nut and jamnut on the bolt. Tighten the the nuts just enough to let the top board swivel. This is sort of a lazy susan.

4- Take a mini clamp and drill a hole through one side of the clamp handle and screw to the board. I put one on each end and on the sides so i could paint four figures at once.

Just thought I would share this.

Ill take a picture of the actual one and see if it helps.

its basicly the same as the tamiya one right? looks useful

nice tip my friend thanks for sharing. I like the idea very much. A pic with a figure in one of the clamps would give people a better idea of how to use it

Hey PFC,

You gonna laugh, I'm building quite the same thing !

I'll post pics when it will be finished !

I got it. Almost like a lazy susan except square and it doesn't turn.....wait a minute. How about if you mount the bottom board TO a lazy susan? Then you could turn it a full 360 without ever touching it it. I think I'm onto something here. :-) :-) :-) I can hear the gears grinding and smell smoke. I must be thinking. :-) :-) :-) Nice tip Keenan. "Q"

i thot it did rotate on the 5/16 bolt
