I'm using Liquid detergent bottle cap to hold my miniatures in place while painting
>>98710657If they're liquid, how do they hold anything in place?

>>98710657I don't go through enough detergent to make this idea particularly useful.
>>98710657Cool.Personally I use old whisky and rum corks.
>>98710657I use rustoleum spray primer lids. I got the idea from the privateer press painting tutorials. The “Lego hand grip” style seems to work for me. I’ve put rubber grip tape on one of them. Might do it for the rest. It is worth trying out and rattle can lids avoid the “fit up your butt” joke the current citadel painting handle got when it was announced.
>>98710657I like to use wooden cubes. You can drill countless pin holes, they lay flat on multiple sides, are dirt cheap and very durable
>>98711177Doesnt know what detergent is>>98711518Doesnt regularly use detergent >>98713520Possibly a functional alcoholic.I love you guys, its reminders like these that remind me who my people are.Also great idea op, how do you keep them mounted? I use soft drink lids like a basic bitch but am forever having models fall off the blu-tack I attach them with.Also I just realised I never get new detergent bottles, the refill sachets are so much more economical.
>>98716219>how do you keep them mounted?Blue Tack
I used to use whisky corks. Now I use empty pill bottles vitamins fixing the mini on the lid with the equivalent of blutack. With pill bottles I have the option of unscrewing the lid to e.g. varnish without getting wet varnish on my handle.For small parts/subassemblies mounted or glued on wire I still use the corks because it's so easy to just stick the end of the wire in the cork.

>>98716219>>98716232Are Blu tack or poster tack all generally the same? If not what brands should I avoid? Sometimes I worry about heavier metal models falling off.
>>98716713They vary a little bit, I've used the blu tac brand, Pritt, and a no name brand from a local low cost store. All work for the purpose, but the no name need more "work" to get the same stickiness. I would just start with whatever is cheap and convenient where you are and test. You need less than you might think. At least for plastic minis.There's a limit to how heavy a metal mini I'd trust with this. Human sized 28mm should be ok if it has a good contact area, there's no way a big monster will stick. Models with a single very small contact area will need frequent fixing even if it's a small plastic mini.
