Hi there,

One of my old bloodbowl models has detached itself from its metal tab which you would insert into a base (not sure what the technical terms is for it, but the thing with the model's name on it).

Does anyone have any recommendations of how to rebase this model? Do I pin it? Do I try and use loads of green stuff?

If anyone has any handy links or youtube tutorials I'd be very grateful.

Thanks.

Super Glue should do it or failing that some 2 part epoxy (but you'll need support the model whilst it drys)

File the feet as flat as possible to maximize your base : model contact and then superglue should be fine.

Like Ifurita, I'd trust flat soles and superglue for most models. Anything with a shifted center of gravity and/or limited contact with the base (those mid-stride running/receiving models) would get a supplemental pin.

File the tab flat to the foot, get a base that doesn't have the slot in it, pin the feet to the base to help support the super glue. The pins will act at what the tab was before it broke.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

It's a wood elf wardancer and I've tried the superglue option, supplemented with a bit of green stuff. We'll see how long it lasts otherwise I may have to invest in a drill.

I'd pin it to the base, superglue, and anchor the pin through the bottom of the base with some greenstuff

I'd pin it... then again I pin everything to its base.

Drill up into the legs through the soles of the feet, mount a pin in each leg, make matching holes in the base, inset the pins and use pliers to bend the pin on the underside of the base.

This keeps models secure on bases with uneven surfaces or lots of built up texture pretty well, hasnt let me down yet... I just get through a lot of pinning wire (for which I use paper clips bent out straight)
