Ron Gray Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 This is an extra large version of my foam model stands and is made out of 20mm EVA. The overall length is 750mm and is designed to not only hold larger models than the standard size stand but it can be fitted to a cheap (£15 ish from Amazon) music stand to provide a comfortable working height when at the field. As per the standard size one it comes with flat topped ends for you to cut out to suit or I can provide partially cut cut outs to make it easier. The hole and slots in the sides fit over the music stand ends, the slot allowing for height adjustment. Note that the hole and slot are cut to suit 25mm tubes but I can cut a different size to suit. XL Stand with flat topped ends £30 inc P&P, U choose U cut ends £33 inc P&P Shown here fitted to music stand (not included, neither is the model!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Following a request from fellow forumite, @Ace, I have made extended end pieces for the stand which will allow them to be used for working on a model when on the bench. The length is sufficient to keep the fin off the bench (for most models!) when inverted in the stand but are not so big that they become 'floppy'. Shown here is my YT Mustang held in the stand. These are available at £12 pair (inc P&P) or for an additional £9 when ordered with a stand. Edited March 30, 2023 by Ron Gray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Thanks Ron, new 100mm taller ends are perfect for working on my larger inverted aircraft 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Day Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Just picked up one of Ron's excellent XL stands, nice height, you could tweak it if taller or shorter. I opted for the taller work bench end version but also got the original end panels. Stand from amazon was £7 plus P+P. I looked at the slec offering but £60 plus p+p for a unfinished wood jobby that looks as though it came from the early 1900's wasnt going to cut the mustard. (was £79 when I last looked a few weeks ago, so selling well!) Edited June 8, 2023 by Frank Day missed something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Thanks Frank, looks good! PS It's the HD stand (I'm not making the std or the XL one anymore due to foam supply issues plus this one will support much heavier models).
