Swapping to clear bases

I’ve replaced most of the bases with clear perspex now. Here’s how I do it for the bigger models.

 

1) Use clippers to cut off the sockets on the bottom of the bases.

2) Wiggle the model so that it separates from the base.

3) Clip off the old pegs.

4) Peel the backing plastic from both sides of the perspex base.

5) Place the perspex base on top of the old base. This allows me to position the model on the perspex base in the same place that it was on the old base.

6) Use gorilla glue 2-part epoxy to glue the model in place. The gorilla glue starts to set after only five minutes so I can only mix a small amount at a time. That said, I can usually re-base all the models from an expansion with one batch as long as I do all the above prep work first before mixing the epoxy.
