Prototype miniature holder for making painting figures easier. It has a slot and peg hole. You can use florist stickum ( which is way tackier than bluetack ) to hold figures to the top. Its hollow inside so you can weigh it down with small coins. If you sand the top plug and tube a bit you can twist it around while working.

This is a proof of concept for a whole range of tools. The next version, the arm will slide around with a slip ring, and I plan on using flexible filaments to make a wide variety of grippers to hold figs.
