Poor man's 'soft touch' model vice tip

I'm sure a lot of you have probably thought of this already, but as a Kitnoob I am still devising a lot of my own solutions to modelling problems. In this case it was how to hold a model without getting it dirty, smudge effects, or just generally acquire a 'third hand'. I know there are specialist modelling vices, but this was my cheap as chips solution...

Take one kitchen cleaning sponge, cut open down the middle and here you go...

...And voilà, a ready made 'soft touch' model vice.
