A bunch of GW's classic Reik on Foot have arrived and a couple of them have tabs way too loose for the slotted plastic bases.

What method do people recommend for getting them to stand properly on the base so that they can be glued upright? I'm not convinced that there's going to be enough purchase between the models' feet and the base for the fix to be firm enough without some sort of assistance.

I feel like i have just experienced a little deja vu Confused

But anyway.

I said:

If they are metal just bend the tab in the middle with a pair of clippers to create a wedge shape then glue it, that usually hold it nicely


Then Niva said:

Some green stuff after that cant hurt. I usuly wedge it around the metal tab underneath the base as well
