Hi there friend, come and sit a spell and let me tell you about the Citadel Painting Handle. The Citadel Painting Handle is a simple plastic knob with a mounting platform and a set of sliding clamps, designed to hold your Warhammer miniatures while you paint them. Of course, it doesn't have to be only Warhammer models. See here, this is a Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Imperial Assault model I have on it and look, it is being held firmly in place while I paint it. It also means I don't get my big, greasy fingers all over the model while I'm painting it. So I don't rub off any of my carefully applied paint from a previous layer. It works great. The mounting clamps work by pulling apart two spring-laden sliders which allow for 3 sizes of bases (25mm, 32mm and 40mm) to slot in between them. But there is enough spring in those clamps to hold a variety of similarly sized bases and other sizes inbetween. Notice how the handle fits comfortably in my grip? Safely nestled in the hand you normally use to hold the miniature, while your talented dominant hand is free to apply the paint and create your artistic magnum opus. Okay, so what can I list as the pros? Well, for me it means I don't have to mess around with any Blu-Tack or White Tack to stick the model onto something; when the model is locked in place by the clamps, it's not going anywhere; more ergonomic than other holders I have tried (so no more painter's cramp - "The claw! The claw!"); the screw for the mounting clamp is the same size as mounting accessories for camera equipment (maybe a bit of random info there - but who knows, maybe you need a cheap and handy mounting handle for your vlogging camera). The cons - there is a trick to getting the models in and out of the holding clamps, this may take two hands... not too much of an issue for me but I mention it for those speed painters who want a ton of models on and off the handle in record time. Also, the painting handle can topple over (with your model still atached) if you're not careful when you set it down, but this is the same for any painting handle really and so you just need to be aware of it. Do I like the Citadel Painting Handle? Yes, yes I do. So much so that I have bought 5 of them to cater for painting multiple models at once, switching models between layers and not having to fiddle about with pulling them off or putting them back on a single handle. I would recommend the Citadel Painting Handle to any miniature figure painters out there who appreciate the right tool for the job.

Even with the Covid situation the team were very responsive and gave a very personal experience

Very good

An awesome set of cyberpunk bikers at a great price!
