Reply To: Fixing plastic minis to scenic bases – to pin or not to pin?

You could try this, it’s a variation of option 2:

put a little dab of your plastic glue on the bottom of each foot. Place the mini on the base where you want it to stand. After a few seconds pull it off again. Now the paint is softened where you want the feet to go and you won’t have to scrape very hard to get the paint off. Grab your craft knife and scrape the softened paint off, and also clean under the feet of the minis. Maybe wipe off the glue with some paper towel. Reapply glue to the feet and fix to the base for a permanent join.

I had to go through a similar situation to work this out myself. I painted bases, then tried to add Space Marines.
