Overview
The Tamiya Modeling Brush Rest is an essential workspace accessory designed to keep your paint brushes organized, protected, and ready for use during model building projects. This clever foldable design assembles quickly from a flat sheet into a functional brush stand that holds up to seven brushes securely while preventing paint from dripping up the handles.
Made from durable polypropylene, this brush rest features a thoughtfully engineered design where the height is lower toward the tip area, allowing gravity to keep paint away from the ferrule and handle. The integrated tray area provides safe storage for brush protective caps, while space beneath the brush tips accommodates palettes up to 12mm thick to catch any drips.
