Complete Guide to the Model Coloring Clamp Base

Function

Specifically designed for use with painting alligator clips. After spray-painting, hand-painting, wash-in, or weathering model parts, simply insert the parts and let them air-dry suspended, preventing paint smudging, dust adhesion, and damage to the painted surface—making it exceptionally efficient for batch coloring.

Common Styles

1. High-Density Sponge Base is the most widely used option. The soft sponge features pre-cut openings, allowing the coloring clamp rod to be inserted directly. You can insert parts at any angle and in any arrangement; it’s affordable, easy to use, and ideal for individual hobbyists. Advantages: versatile, no restrictions on hole placement, flexible layout; Disadvantages: prone to shedding debris and susceptible to solvent corrosion.

2. Foam Board/EVA Porous Base offers integrated, evenly spaced holes that are securely fixed, making it perfect for perfectionists and large-scale model-building projects. The holes are uniformly spaced, ensuring neat and orderly placement, while also saving storage space.
