Fixing models to bases

Now this can apply to many diferent sorts of models. but of this example i will use an aeroplane.

What happens if you want to put your recently finished model onto a permentant base.

...what happens when the wife moves the base to dust the shelf and dosnt realise the model is not attatched....!!

here is an easy way to attatch your models to permenant bases.

use a pin vice and drill a tiny hole in the bottom of the wheels (the width of a paper clips wire-ish. cut a small lenth (say 10mm) off a paperclip and superglue it into the hole with a reasonable amount sticking out (say half).

then drill another set of holes in the position the wheels will be on the base.

sit the model on the base and super-glue the wires into there holes.

hey-presto!

...hope that makes sense!
