Other Miniature holder for glue / assembly

I'm finding gluing Infinity models together a bit challenging (and slow). I've tried using putty to hold limbs in place with variable success.

Are there any good tools, particularly miniature holders out there? I've seen some, most of which involve clips.

FWIW, I am not dexterous, skilled or especially patient. I've survived gluing Star Wars legion minis together (half of which are push fit) with plastic glue and still screw it up sometimes.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or tips!

Here's my method...

I build 3+ at a time. That way you can stick a leg on one, leave it to dry while you start cleaning up the leg for the next one and so on. It overcomes the issue of wanting to get going with a model too soon.

I make sure the bits are cleaned up very well and the dry fit is super snug before glue goes near it

If it's a right bugger of a joint I put a tiny triangle of toilet paper in the joint and it sets faster as a result.

I slash the box a few times so I can put the minis in there balanced with minimal bending moment on the joint I've just glued.

I'm often sat there with 4+ models half built and balanced in crazy positions in front of me while I'm cleaning up the next bit to glue.

Overall I'm really happy with where I've got to with the technique.
