GJJC09B 1PC Painting Stand Base and 20PCS Alligator Clip Stick Set Modeling Tools for Airbrush Hobby Model Parts New

I love this clip stand, the covers for the alligator clips are great. I can have lots of miniatures being painted at once in a neat, tidy way! The clips lock into the base so it doesn't jiggle around which is a wonderful touch.

Does the job. Wires are sturdy and the pegs keep the clips stable and upright. Even after being hit with a few coats of paint the clips actuate pretty easily.

I think they’re great. They’re light years better than the ones you’ll find at Hobby Lobby. They are very sturdy and they come with plenty of silicone sleeves for the clips which are much easier to work with than the rubber sleeves and they don’t deteriorate as fast. I really like these clips. The bases are great too. The stands fit into the bases very snugly so they don’t travel when they’re standing up.

The alligator clips are larger, sturdier, and overall better than the ones you get in the packets with little clips and bamboo skewers that you need to assemble. Also, the clips come attached much more securely than can be accomplished with the bamboo ones without a special tool. And as an added benefit if you need it, they can be bent and have protective, removable covers for the alligator clip jaws.The first pic shows a comparison with the bamboo ones and also a demo of a bent metal one (from another set). The other pic is to show how wicked sharp I made them.The opposite end is squared off, i.e., not pointed. I ended up sharpening mine so I can use them with a block of styrofoam and have never used the block. When airbrushing, it's easier to take the piece you were just painting and jab it into a piece of styrofoam or whatever than to precisely insert into the base. I also have a set of unpainted metal ones, which also needed sharpening, and I think I like the black better (for what it's worth).Unfortunately, due to price, I only have the one set of these nice metal ones and, aside from the other five unpainted metal ones, I end up using a lot of the bamboo ones. Maybe the seller could start selling the stems and clips without the base? I think the problem with that is that, because they are metal, sharpened they could be dangerous (though in truth, no more so than the sharpened bamboo).

I needed this to paint the parts of model kit vehicles so that I don't have to hold the peces with my hands anymore and this item wasn't broken and nothing was missing.Its very handy tool to use for and it works with anything like model kit vehicles. Its not loose and the price is the best and affordable and its the same as the picture of the item and its very durability and stability and i like the detail of this item thats why Im giving this 5 stars rating.

Great for holding small parts

This thing is pretty neat. It comes with little rubber nubbers for the alligator clip teeth. I work with soft plastic and resin so it helps to not damage what I'm working on. It even comes with a few extra teeth covers for good measure. Evemodel is legit. Check out their replacement bases for Warhammer minis as well. Good stuff.

This is a must have if anyone is building plastic model kits that has a lot of parts needed to be painted, but don't have enough hands to hold them to get the job done. The base is very handy to put painted items to be dried before moving on to the next assembly.
