Apart from switching to clear stands (which I dont wanna do and am not sure will even work) theres nothing I can think of that would work.

Just wondering if there were any suggestions.

Example:

I've got my marine alighting on that rock, which is from a resin base that I made. He's pinned to that rock, and so you could do the same with your seraphim. Find a style of resin base you like, and then pin your seraphim to that base. Leave the pins a bit long, and she'll look like she's above the ground. Obscure the pins by painting them black and/or using tall hobby grass (or some other visual block.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1279990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1279990.page GMT Re:Seraphim Stands http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280018.page GMT Seraphim Stands
Stick 2 wires on their jump pack down to the base , stuff cotton ball on the wire.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280020.page GMT Re:Seraphim Stands http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280043.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280043.page GMT Re:Seraphim Stands

In that case cover the whole base with cotton ball , now they are clouds.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280066.page GMT Re:Seraphim Stands http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280104.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1280104.page GMT Re:Seraphim Stands

I hope you remember to weight the bases Those things just won't stay standing otherwise.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1282119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275756/1282119.page GMT Re:Seraphim Stands

Barring inventing antigravity technology, there's going to have to be a physical support structure. There's no getting around it.

And my suggestion did not involve the seraphim on the rocks, it involved a thinner (but sturdier) support drilled into a resin base leading up to a "hovering" seraphim. Resin bases are solid, easily drillable, and are weighty enough to help counter balance a seraphim. It would be similar to what the gentleman here has done (though both the length and the gauge of wire he's using seems larger than it needs to be). Alternately, you can do the same thing with small flight stand stems inserted into resin bases.

Use wire as internal support with expanding foam to form a smoke trail. then paint as desired and attach model to top...

For the OP, the option CT Gamer suggested, it doesnt have to be smoke- that close to the ground theres going to be dust kicked up- so sculpting some jet blast from the pack(doesnt have to reach the ground) then you can add some dust clouds maybe?

Or, just go for lots of little bushes, some lichen & static grass will cover those posts up pretty easy but wont add any sense of dynamic flight.
