Spray Paint Model Holder


After looking into the idea of using paper clips. I couldn’t get any, and I wanted to get a model sprayed quick and fast. Well, I was looking around for any spare paperclips and couldn’t find any.

I was in my room tidying up my work space, and noticed a coat hanger, hanging on the side of my wardrobe. Its one of those plastic ones with the number sized attached.

Here I will show you how to make a fast and easy 1 model spray paint holder.


First, you need a old (or new) coat hanger.

Cut off the plastic from here.

Tidy up the plastic and get rid of any plastic still on the metal hanger.

Turn the hang upside down.

Get one of those plastic size finder things(easy found either attached already, or ask for one in a shop).
[I can’t find a pic of 1, so if I do… I will edit a pic here. LOL]

Use some super glue to bond the metal and plastic.

Pop a little bit of blu-tac on the top of the plastic.

Stick the model to the blu-tac and get spraying.

well now you've shown me it makes sense, i knew all those coathangers that the dry cleaners give would have a use (other than holding up clothes :P )

cheers
