Hi Gents, How do you fix your figures to the plastic bottle caps? Pins, hot glue????

Insert a pin in one or both legs which will give you something to attach it to the permanet base.
Make a holder similar to this from scrap wood, bolts, wingnuts and screws. The Duck tape reduces the chances of slivers.


Release the bolts and attach to the base upon completion.

John,

I chose to cut a wooden dowel into ~1" lengths.

Some have been drilled to accept pins inserted into the figure's leg and others used to hold the figure with either Elmer's White Glue or blue tack.

Good luck.

Rich
