I didn't worry too much about disguising the wire, just some light blue paint was good enough for me. But, depending on the height, you could add a bit of tall grass or something trailing below the creature. Making sure the base is heavy enough so the whole thing isn't top heavy is good, too.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-12917807564884654952015-06-23T19:44:19.346+01:002015-06-23T19:44:19.346+01:00I have used a thin metal rod pinned into undersid...I have used a thin metal rod pinned into underside of model, but before pinning I twisted the other end round and round in an outward spiral before gluing it to base. Worked well and needed less covering afterwards to hide it.<br />I can't remember which figure it was though.Dont press the red buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413632348293459770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-52741538661216426772015-06-23T14:24:20.951+01:002015-06-23T14:24:20.951+01:00Oops

There is a clear plastic rod option but I'm not sure if you can find one thin enough but strong enough. <br /><br />The base will need to be heavy, perhaps a thick washer or 2.<br /><br />If you make the height tree top high, a tree can be used to hide the wire and make it look like he has swooped down for a look.<br /><br />I remember as a young college lad, trying to carve out the nazgul face do make him look invisible under the hood. Alas, one of the things that has been lost along the way.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-78558133233046988742015-06-23T07:46:30.220+01:002015-06-23T07:46:30.220+01:00Drill into the underbelly of the beast and insert ...Drill into the underbelly of the beast and insert metal rod (cut up coathanger or similar) and drill similar hole in base.
