Does anyone use the Universal Work Holder for painting their models? I am looking for a way to hold models besides using my hands to hold them. I have seen people on Youtube use extra-hands/helping hands, old paint bottles/wine corks with putty (btw does anyone know what that putty is called?), and the Work Holders and I was wondering what everyone else uses?

I use a small glass paint pot or ink pot with liberal amounts of blu tack under the base.
Or if pinned into a cork, I glue a coin to the base of the cork.
I'm clumsy as hell, so more weight is more better for me.

I have always used paint pots with blu tac, its a cheap and effective method.

I use upside down shot glasses from the dollar store and then blue tac stuff to hold the model on it's base to the shot glass.
