Multipurpose Model Stand

Tuesday, March 03, 2020 - 12:13 AM UTC

Laser Model Graver has a stand that not only holds the model while building or painting but has other interesting uses.

The primary use is a stand for building or painting, for which it can be attached either directly at the base or using the accessories provided to clamp it. One of them will come handy for working specifically with turrets.

But it can be used also as a guide to assemble link by link tracks, and to align roadwheels on tanks.

The support can be coupled to their BB-04 Rotary Base, making it more versatile.

It looks like it would be very versatile and the channel for link to link tracks would likely speed up the process. I wonder what it will retail for?

I wonder if this could be used when assembling a model of a De Havilland Mosquito twin engine aircraft ....

They have specific supports for aircraft, biplanes, ships... By the way, love the Mosquito, so beautiful aircraft!

I was going to order this but found that the shipping to USA is almost $22. Just FYI.

It sort of looks like a scale model of a medieval torture rack...is everyone okay with what looks to be a laser-cut wooden item? If it is I wonder at its long-term durability, having built wooden models in the past that repeatedly broke everywhere under the slightest pressures during assembly. If it isn't I humbly apologize and banish myself back to my work bench...

I suppose the wheel alignment feature is useful. But I’ve achieved the same result with duct tape and a collection of steel rulers. As for using it for specific aircraft, I think a better device could be designed to set proper anhedral and dihedral. In fact the idea sounds useful enough I’d be willing to bet there’s already one out there.
