Mounting Models to Bases?

I was surprised when it actually worked!! :grin:

That’s something else I want to try…scratch-building Hescos! I’ve seen a couple YT videos on it; looks pretty straightforward.

I did sort of a tutorial on it here somewhere. I make three sizes. I even put them on the belt sander so the fronts and backs bulge outward.

Finally! After months of frustration over the problem of mounting my Pegasus models Nautilus submarine on its vinyl squid/seafloor base, I hit on the best solution: brass rods inserted through two of the squid’s tentacles, one on each side the submarine and into the sub’s hull. I secured them to the squid with Bob Smith’s insta-cure glue and Instaset Accelerator. I went a step further and secured the base to the sub’s custom-made display case with short screws. Worked like a charm.

My apologies to RDT1953, who some months ago posted a suggestion in this thread about using metal rods, a suggestion I missed. Great minds think alike, but some great minds miss posts and arrive at the party late. Thanks, RDT 1953!
