How to make a porcupines rest.

[wonwinglo]

Dont worry you are on the right forum and not one for preserving porcupines !! the porcupines rest is a very useful little device to help you when painting small objects on your models,the biggest problem when spraying parts with aerosols etc is finding somewhere to place them while they dry,well here is your answer and once more it can be made from simple scrap-

Take a stout piece of cardboard about a foot square ( you can make a larger one if required but this one fits the bill for average medium sized parts ) mark out equi distant with a pencil the positions where you will be placing your nails,say half inch intervals which works fine,now push some two inch nails through the card until you have covered the whole area,now to lock the nails in place take a piece of soft foam and press this into place seating it well down bedding into the nails and against the card base.

Place the part for spraying onto the tips of the nails,spray side one then turn over again resting onto the nail tips,the idea is that your sprayjob will not stick to your bench and leave the minimm of marks,give it a try it really works well and you will use the tool again and again.

P.S Also good for spraying small models as well as parts,spray,turn over and spray again then leave to dry. :music_whi
