meermouse Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi TGA, This is one of my plague drones, hes not having a good day. I frequently have this problem with my plague drones and other big flyers. What do people use to hold up their bigger models? Is it the strength of the glue? Or do I need to use a drill. Internet, help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Schmidt Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Pinning would go a long way to help. I often also use brass rod instead of plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meermouse Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks Aaron, is that what you'd recommend to anything this size? Or anything that is having trouble staying airborne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Are you gluing the stand into the model and base? If so, my recommendation would be to not do so but to glue it into the base and magnetize the top. In that way, the model will always be easier to carry around, you can easily snap the model on the flight stand and it doesn't get left standing when you move the model on the battlefield. This time, I would pin the bottom into the base if it has broken off. just take a paperclip and try to find a small drillbit that is about the same size as the paperclip. the fact that the plastic will have a small metal pin coming through the middle should be less of a problem as you can always try to cover it with some base scenics. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Have a hunt for solid plastic rod rather than the flying stand rod. Go for 4mm or 5mm and it'll be much more substantial, plus you can drill a hole that fits fairly snugly. As @Lysandestolpe says, a pair of magnets will fix it more securely too and a thicker rod will mean you've more surface to glue the magnet onto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardyface Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 It's called Karma as you roll too many 1s to bring them back when you play me. No glue or pinning will overcome the negative thoughts sent their way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meermouse Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks all (except will), I got a pinning kit from Firestorm today, hopefully this will help me roll even more 1s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardyface Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Let me know how this goes fella and I might have a play around with some interesting bases for my Frosties and Gyros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meermouse Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 UPDATE: The pinning worked great! Feeling much sturdier so thanks all that responded. Having issues with the magnets now which I also had a go at. May start a new topic for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
