I have a number of heavy resin buildings from Old Crow and JR Miniatures that I plan on putting on bases. I have all the terrain in the Assault examples in the Future War Commander rules, and was thinking of doing something similar. Should I superglue the buildings to the base? Liquid Nails? Hot Glue? The bases will be either 1/8" MDF or 2mm Plasicard. The smaller buildings probably go on nicely with hot glue, but some of these are heavy-ish. Ideas? |

Its pretty damn strong. Its clear, very sticky, and likely akin to hot glue. Maybe I'll give it a shot. |

The only liquid nails I've used is the contractor-grade adhesive. It's completely overkill. You can stick old office furniture to the underside of freeway overpasses with that stuff. Frankly, I'd probably just use the p-card base & pin the building to the base using p-card rod. That nicks any wierdness from a resin/other bond where you either lose adhesion completely or the bond cracks from stress (Oops, I dropped my Gargant!). |
