Suggestion brother, don't cut the bases completely off, just shave them down leaving just enough surface for a good glue hold and lay your soil right up to their feet.... Easier to do and more secure.... If you have ever tried to drill pin holes in skinny, tiny plastic legs, you would know why... You already know what happens to a tiny glue joint with a larger mass on the other side.... Breath on them and they break off... Shave the base down as small and thin as you can with them still standing on their bases, Glue the base to the surface using Gator's glue, then lay the soil up to their feet over the remaining base to hide it, you will be a lot happier in the long run.... popeye the sailor, Canute, EricWilliamMarshall and 3 others 6 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canute Posted January 10, 2021 Share #643 Posted January 10, 2021 I would think if you perused some model railroad sites, you'd see paper shingles of those styles of cuts. I've seen them for structures over here. Having a little 3 dimensional effect would bring the scene up a notch. mtaylor, Ekis, Edwardkenway and 4 others 7 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC. My friend, I would propose that there is no difference from modeling a building to modeling a ship..... everything as far as modeling skills is the same.... The difference is in understanding what the construction is..... You currently understand ships and airplanes and figures.... To do this you need to expand into construction of historic houses and buildings.... Gain a general understanding of how they were built then you can copy from any reference as long as your materials are in the scale you need them to be.... It's the same process and it's not hard..... You took the first steps long ago, you got this, just go slow and study the references..... and see how others achieved theirs.... Just like a ship, a building has a frame and a skin and accessories, building a model building is exactly the same process.... YOU GOT THIS my friend....

Canute Posted January 10, 2021 Share #648 Posted January 10, 2021 Structures are like other kits. Being a laser cut one, makes the basic construction pretty straight forward. Ho you finish can make it pop. You've got the skills; you've already done weathering and have diorama making experience. Visualize the structure in your mind and compare it with what you observe in your village or town. Take pictures of details you want to replicate in La Haye Sainte. Like I tell many model railroaders, work from pictures of the real thing.
