Hey what’s up guys, today I was wondering if you would indulge me for a second while I bring you news about a new member of the Get-a-Grip family; Garfy’s Get-a-Little-Grip. More after the jump.
Batch painting Intercessors with 32mm bases
So, I’ve been listening to feedback about my original Get-a-Grip and whilst it’s great for painting single miniatures with it’s variable base size shims and cork in its base for smaller pinned parts it’s not very economical for batch painting.
25mm base
That’s where the Get-a-Little-Grip comes in. It’s smaller size allows me to print more, meaning I can sell them for less. Removing the cork from the base also helps keeps costs down (the standard Get-a-Grip is still available with cork if you need that resource).
40mm base
The Get-a-Little-Grip still fits base sizes up to 50mm and still holds them securely with no chance of them coming loose.
Batch painting 50mm based models, no problem!
Smaller, flatter design means I can post these out as Large Letter, instead of Small Parcel, making the postage cheaper as well!
++EDIT++ This product has been retired and replaced with my Get a Grip Basic and Get a Grip Pro.
Here’s a video of how the Get-a-Grip system works.

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
Bought a couple of these of ebay the other day, can't wait for them to arrive!
@Garfy, Maybe you could do an upgrade pack for shims fitting for the Warmachine bases and sold those separately? would be amazing, so that you could use the grips for other models/bases beside GW ones too :)!
Best regards
The shims won't but the cork will if you pin the model to it.
will the grip work with warmachine style bases?
I think the little grip is great I just think it would work if you added a resting bar for the pointer finger and middle finger
Awesome Garfy, well done!
Do you sell the 3D models? When you've got a 3D printer (as I do) the prospect of paying for someone elses 3D prints kinda sucks 🙂
The MK1 get-a-grip is available on Thingiverse for free.
The MK2 get-a-grip and the get-a-little-grip were available on ebay. I sold out yesterday. More stock coming soon.
I don't sell the 3D models, just the physical model.
It's a shame the later ones aren't available but very kind of you to release the MK1 – cheers dude!
