What’s a painting handle for miniature painting?

When painting miniatures, holding them with your bare hands is not only impractical, but it can also damage the paint job.

Instead, you need to attach your miniature to a stable object to manipulate it safely. 

The RGG360° is designed for this purpose, helping you maintain the optimal painting position while minimizing unnecessary movements. This enables you to stay focused for longer periods without strain and prevents touching your fresh paint.

RGG 360° Painting Handle For Miniature Painting: What’s new?

In response to popular demand from our community, we’ve designed the new XL cap, which is curvier, longer, and larger. This innovation allows you to comfortably hold larger miniatures and provides a longer cap option, ideal for those with bigger hands.
Miniature holder: a painting handle featuring swappable, interchangeable caps.
Our challenge was to strike the perfect balance between width and length, ensuring the XL cap remains comfortable for average hand sizes (like ours!). If you’re already using the RGG360° painting handle, this new XL cap will be a valuable and versatile addition to your painting arsenal.
Crafted from dense, highly resistant cork, our pinning cork insert is ideal for painters who focus on individual parts at a time, such as a sword or a head. It comes with a high-quality self adhesive, allowing you to secure the cork to either a small or an XL cap according to your preference.
The process is straightforward: simply drill a hole, insert a metal rod or staple into your miniature’s sub-part, and then stick the rod into the pinning cork. Begin painting – it’s that simple. Plus, with the 360° feature of our handle, you can effortlessly rotate your tiny sub-part for optimal access and precision.

A marvel of design and technology

With its fully 360° revolving function, you can rotate your plastic or resin WIPs in a completely controlled manner. And all with just a gentle flick of your thumb or finger as you paint! But when you stop, it stops. The precision axle mechanism ensures a smooth spinning action that’s tight enough that it doesn’t turn involuntarily. It is ultra-responsive to you and your needs, and helps minimise unnecessary hand movements whilst accessing any and all awkward areas for painting.
Batch painting becomes more efficient with the RGG 360 painting handle. Our innovative swappable caps system enables you to paint entire squads at once, using just one handle for multiple models, thereby saving valuable space in your hobby area. The process is straightforward: simply detach the current cap or XL cap, along with its work-in-progress (WIP) miniature, and replace it on the handle with another cap attached to the next WIP model you’re ready to paint!

You can comfortably paint for hours without risk of wrist strain or hand fatigue with the sculpted grip of the RGG 360°. Crucially, too, it means you can minimise the amount of physical contact your hands have with the model, which will help prevent chipping and paint rubbing! Additionally, the handle is lightweight and well-balanced, ensuring a comfortable feel.

Each RGG 360 painting handle comes with a magnetic docking function. Affix the docking disc to your hobby space, wet palette lid, or storage location. Whenever you need to pause or put down the painting, the stable, well-balanced design and strong magnet within the painting handle will take care of the rest! Your painting project will be secured until you can pick it up once more.
