Painting Handle

What is the function of a painting handle for miniatures?

A painting handle for miniatures is a tool designed to help you securely hold your miniatures while you paint them, allowing for more precise and detailed work. It minimizes the risk of paint wear from handling and prevents the model from breaking during the painting process, making your painting experience smoother.

Using a specialized painting handle also reduces hand fatigue. When working on a large painting project and needing to hold the miniature's base for extended periods, your fingers and wrists can start to hurt from the constant pressure. Without proper rest, this can lead to more serious conditions, like repetitive strain injuries similar to tennis elbow. To protect your hands, it's wise to choose a painting handle that you find comfortable and supportive.

How to choose your painting handle for miniatures?

Choosing the right painting handle depends on your personal preference. Some people like the solid feel and balance of wooden handles, while others prefer the smooth and lightweight nature of plastic handles.
