Then I cut the rod to size and glue it in place. For a little extra support (especially on heavy figs), I'll sculpt some GS rocks or terrain around the bottom. Then I'll use magnets on the end of the rod and in/attached to the fig to keep things stable yet removable. I've been using the process for about five years now and never had any breakage since. I so need to do a post on those one of these days…

The only thing I haven't figured out is how to anchor the rod to the base. Do you use a combination of green stuff and glue on the underside of the base to hold it in place?
