What if I glued the ground material around the figures' feet, would that work?

why not, and perhaps you must drill simply a hole in your dio and in your figure and attach it with iron wire

why you don't try out it then you're certainly it works.

Hi all

Mike,

I'm not real sure if I know what it is you want to do. I'm assuming its mount figures to a diorama base. If it is, then what Rob [ Robster ] said is correct. The best way is to drill a small hole in the bottom of a figure's foot. Insert a small metal rod. A strighten piece of a paper clip works great. Drill a second hole in the base where you want the figure to go. Place the figure, rod first into the hole in the base with a touch of super glue.
You can try gluing the figure to the ground work, or base surface, but I can't tell you how secure that would be. Good luck, I hope this helps

it does work but you have your figures with their feet in the things they should be walking on

example:
soldier on cobblestone road with feet in the cobblestone road not that realistic

example:
soldier in muddy field with his feet in the mudd could be realistic if there are foot prints leading up to the soldier

Actually, I want to put the figures in a sand material in Iraq. In photos, footprints don't seem to be left behind.
