Our current display solution for our model kits isn’t perfect, so we’re here to improve it. We’ve had the idea of hanging our model kits on the pegboards by browsing around Pinterest, and inspiration struck!
Watch how we've transformed our hobby workstation here!
We’ve looked around for stands and bases for pegboards, but none of them fit our particular boards, so we’ve designed them from scratch, and here’s how to use them.
To make this a universal pegboard display kit, we've designed it as a modular system with adjustable pegs.
Here's how it works. Depending on what you have and what you want to display, we have two kinds of bases.
One for gunpla and another for 1/24-scale model cars.
First, let's have a look at the one for gunplas. It has a smaller base with a 6 millimeter hole for you to insert your generic or Bandai display stand.
And at the back, we have an angled peg with an adjustable locking system. Insert the peg into the base horizontally, then rotate it vertically to lock it in place.
You can then adjust the distance of the two pegs according to the holes on your peg boards. Then you just have to hang it on your pegboard, plug in your display stand, place your gunpla on it, and you're done.
Now for cars, it's trickier. We have a much bigger base and two types of inserts. One is for the pegboards, and the other is on the opposite side for the wheels of your scale model cars. It's basically a hook that attaches to a car's suspension arm. The assembly is the same; insert and rotate to lock them in.
We have tested the hooks' angles against our model cars, and they work just fine. Some may require more effort than the others, but it works.
You can print them at home with your 3D printer. Whether you're using a filament or a resin printer, it doesn't matter.
You can also adjust the STL files to make them work for you or even improve them! Just make sure that you share them with the community :)

We hope you like the pegboard stands, and we ask only that you share them with your friends or family on social media. It's a great validation for us, and gives us the boost we need to keep moving forward!
Thank you!
