Tamiya Spray-Work Painting Stand Set Scale Model Tool Review

A review of the Tamiya Spray Stand. A bit of a luxury, but one I've been promising myself for ages....

[@leit75]

Had this for years now, i find it very useful!

[@RobertWheeler-xh3zc]

Have had one for years. The small one with the two adjustable arms sure beats bent hangers for holding a car body. The large table is ideal as a drying rack. Items attached to a skewer, alligator clip mounted on a stick etc can be sprayed then stick popped into one of the holes on the table and allowed to dray.

Good review lee, two things, get yourself some of the alligator clips for the other holes in the spray table, and get some nitro rc car fuel line and cut two small lengths off and put it on the wire of the model stand, as it then grips you rmodel and doesnt mark it. Nice to see you using my superglue trick too :)

[@CoensScaleModelling]

Thanks Lee, I've been faffing about with buying this set for ages. Simply because I haven't seen one in action, nor a review of them. I may actually pick up one now. : )

[@schweinhund227]

Thanks for the review ... the only thing that prevents me from buying one... The Price ! thanks again for sharing your IBR later dude !

[@ramanley69]

I've had as many as 16 different parts on the spin table before to spray paint all at once. Each of the small holes will fit trimmed sprue and hold spot glued parts perfectly. That's 12 holes for sprue plus 4 clamps, and if I had an additional 4 clamps to go with that....

I picked up one at Hobby Lobby here in the states for $14.99 with their 40% off coupon. I would never have paid $25 for it, but $15 was far more reasonable since I was going to spend $8 or $9 for a generic plastic lazy-susan, why not spend a few extra bucks and get a one built specifically for modelers? Also, you essentially get two turntables in the box which is double the deal.

[@paulking6404]

I have one of those. Mine either came with some "alligator clips" or I had to purchase them separate. I can't remember since I've had it for quite a while now. I use the 2 pieces differently. The car body holder works GREAT for what I use it for. The second or lower part I use for holding the clips after I've painted the objects to allow them to dry out of the way. I'm actually thinking about buying another one to have so I can have 2 projects going at the same time and not having to worry about holders.

[@davidcurrie8564]

or a piece of dowel 6:16 and a pin drill for the small holes for cocktail sticks etc

[@SeamusMcNeil]

Yep! Same as Coen. lol I have been interested in this but the first time I've seen it in use. Cheers Jim

[@AlfonsoTheTraitor]

I just found out about this channel and it is amazing . I will be letting all FaceBook fans know of this channel , Thanks guy !

[@fnordvelkor3386]

I wouldn't have said it was very expensive - £12.98 on Amazon UK - only downside is that it is shipped from Japan (no delivery charge) so maybe 3 weeks wait.

[@65marlin327]

I used mine for the first time today. I didn't realize I needed to keep those retainers handy so the springs wouldn't explode sending car body and springs everywhere. Either mine is way too tight, or those retainers are critical to keep the body springs from spanning out and flying off the base! And, yes, I did have the tension set to the lowest point. Has anyone else had that issue, or did yours work perfect right out of the box?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Yea the newer ones are not as good I’ve noticed

[@bobyoung1698]

"It's a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It looked a lot bigger in the pictures." That's what she said.

[@alensley1368]

I bought one and it works great. .

[@instructor1970]

Thank you for your review I decided to buy one as well

[@genekloszewski5484]

They want 25$ at Hobby Lobby, i am thinking of making one... It cant be that hard!

[@thetrashrabbit]

always wondered about that item. i always see it at the store but had no idea what was included. thanks for the video!

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Thank you for your comments.... :D

[@billyriley492]

A bit late to the show...but thanks for the review...you saved me money.I think there are two odd design flaws - one is including 8 spaces for clips on the main stand and only providing 4 clips and the other is not having the second part in any way able to connect to the first part.Neither of the issues are huge - but the first is an obvious money saver and the second is odd. A small tweak to the base of the second stand could've seen it having an extra configuration option.

[@MrJUNE224]

Got mine in today. i didnt know you had to reverse the sping on the lil.. i was foscing it to close and didnt like it. know i see why..i bought alligator clipstuck them inside shikaba stick and it work perfect.

[@beansworks1417]

Nice review, I got mine off a swap meet. I too wouldn't have bought it regular price!

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

[@immanutt4442]

oh my ... squeeze one out here in the states means ... pooping

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Good stuff - I use mine regularly now :D

[@ScottMcLinden]

When you use the spring wouldn’t it block the paint?

[@mrscratchbuilder]

Hi there is it possible you can give a tour of your hobby room? That's a great gadget too

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Thanks for that :)

[@michaelcombs1031]

Use PVC pipe it will fit. You can make it as tall as you want.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Cheers Norm :D

[@RCrawlerLeon]

One question can be used with tamiya 1:10 scale bodys

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

I doubt it’s big enough to fit them

[@RCrawlerLeon]

@@InternationalScaleModeller ok , tanks.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Happy to help you spend more money Coen....lol

[@Brain7ombies]

I use all the time.

[@immanutt4442]

no way ...

[@DobbsyLondon]

What's AVF and all these other acronyms?

[@TranceTrousers]

He should have said AFV. It's short for Armoured Fighting Vehicle, in other words tanks, armoured cars etc

[@BigAndTall666]

What's with the stupid questions?

[@harryhathaway1086]

Just got mine in the mail $10.

[@immanutt4442]

[@lrobrert]

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

[@extrahulp]

Thanks but the film is to long.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]
