Re: What is the best way /tool for holding a cavalry figure while painting?
I hold the head and paint the lower half. Let them dry then hold the leg and paint the upper half. The only "damage" might be to toes and heels, which can be touched in once glued to the horse.
Find a way that suits you, even if it might not suit others
