Thanks. Added the site to my Model Building Favorites. I'll inspect my "parts" inventory to see what materials I have. If I don't think I can build one for reasonably less than the price of the UMM products you've led me to, I may just have to give in to "Covid Modeling Purchase Addiction" and order one.
Yes - adjustable on all three axis'. I wanted to make sure that on the rare occasion I do something in either 1/32 or 1/72 the stand will still be useful. I am also finding that it can be handy to adjust the height for one end of the aircraft to aid visibility when working on fiddly bits that need 3 or 4 hands...
Thanks Geo. They are very similar to the ones I saw except I think they may have been made from clear acrylic. The concept wasn't too hard to replicate and it gave me a use for some crappy old bits of MDF that I was holding on to (why I do this is best left to the shrinks!! My wife has many theories...).
Found all I need in my important parts (leftover junk) inventory. Plywood - thicker for the base, thinner for the uprights. Angled metal deck brackets - for attaching the uprights. Wingnuts, bolts - for assembly and adjustment. Felt - to pad the uprights (from wife's sewing stash - didn't steal it, she gladly gave it to me). Even found some rubber feet. Won't need to paint it, the model airbrushing process will take care of that, so it won't have that nice piano finish yours has. I'll size it to sit on my painting turntable. Total cost outlay so far - $Free-fifty.Yes - adjustable on all three axis'. I wanted to make sure that on the rare occasion I do something in either 1/32 or 1/72 the stand will still be useful.

Got the parts cut yesterday afternoon. Ready to assemble and try out.
