Old RX bottles function as a cheat paint handle with the added benefit that if the model is small enough, you can just flip it around and screw the bottle over the top as a protector.

I put all my miniatures on halves of the cardboard core of rolls of the tissue paper and toilet paper. Stick them by the base with blue tack and put a glove, you're good to go.

This technique is great and cheap

Depends, if it's a single model on a base I'll just stick it to a painting handle and hold it. If it's a lot of models I use double stick tape on a square dowel to hold them and spray lines of 20 at a time. If it's sub assemblies then I've got a bunch of alligator clips I crimped to the end of bamboo skewers and just hold all the parts with those. Then, regardless of quantity, I hit them with a hair dryer and get them to touch dry in about 30 seconds.

It involves a bit of extra work, but I like to drill holes in non-visible areas and insert a bit of wire or two. The wires can then be shoved into a cork or taped to a stick. https://preview.redd.it/n5bpmflnz6xc1.jpeg?width=1049&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a876bf700a1db04d021e8da8051c504a50c30854

Or, I’ll use double sided carpet tape and stick them to a long thin piece of wood like a ruler. Using something thin means that I can angle the airbrush to catch the underneath areas more easily. https://preview.redd.it/044du9zrz6xc1.jpeg?width=3247&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64af5739e8138bc3fb150ff1c29a647d489f375b

Brilliant solution for large amounts!!

Wow thx for this tip!

Redgrass holder

There are holders available. Watch some of Night Shift’s videos, he specialises in armour and has holders that do exactly what you are looking for. A piece of threaded rod and a nut superglued inside the hull seem to work okay for him as well.

Rubber gloves + god-given fingers

I do use gloves but I hate smudging the paint.

Thats fair, im just lazy and I don't mind if i fuck up the bases since I just paste them over with technical Armageddon dust anyway

I usually prime a batch at a time. So I cut the flaps of cardboard boxes to have smaller rectangles and use double sided tape to stick all my minis and bases to it. That way I can usually get 10-12 done at a time and I have the bases aligned with each mini so I remember which one belongs to who. It's also great for quickly doing zenithal priming on a batch. Get everyone primed in black, than place the "tray" down and run the white primer from one end to the other, from the top

I very rarely do batch priming, since I tend to do military dioramas with a couple of large-ish vehicles like tanks and keeps.

Cork!

For lot of minis at the same time: Paint stirrer, often free at the hardware store, otherwise few euro. Double sided foam tape from the 1euro shop. Done. For single minatures: painting handle or blue tack on old paint pot or cork.

I use blue tack and paint stirrers.

I use a 5 gallon paint stick. I use blue tac to attach it to the stick. Keeps the paint from being smudge and my hand and wrist free from sprayed paint.
