If you dont own a Manatee Handle, we recommend starting with this Starter Pack
This is for 3x or 12x Sub-Assembly Stands, compatible with the Manatee Handle.
These stands have a few different shapes/platforms for different model parts to attach to with Blu-Tack or similar sticky putty, allowing you to still have an upright piece which is as easy to paint as if it was attached to the model.
Each stand contains a metal plate to magnetically attach to the Manatee Handle.
