I have a friend ask how I managed to hold small parts in place for spraying or airbrushing. It's really simple and can be done by anyone.
Here are the thing's you will need.
-Tooth Picks -Side cut clippers, nail clippers, or x-acto -Super Glue -Various Parts
You take a tooth pick, clip the pointy end off using your cutting implement, add one dab of the Super Glue to the now flat side of the tooth pick and stick it to the underside of any part you're looking to paint.
5-10 seconds of pressure may be required until the glue sets.
After your paint work is finished, carefully snap away the tooth picks and you're done!
In addition to the toothpicks, I guess a thick pc of cardboard, or green floral foam. Can be used where the pointed end of the picks can be stabbed into, or get a chunk of that green floral foam for cheap and that can be used to stab the toothpicks into to hold the pcs while painting
