Assembly continued...
In this post we are going to feature the base.
This first photo shows the bottom of the base. I drill out a hole in the bottom of all of my bases and insert a nut that is fixed in with epoxy. This allows me to use a screw through a piece of wood to mount the finished piece for transport without having to worry about it shifting around and potentially breaking fragile pieces.
The next pic shows the dragons base which will connect to the display base using a piece of brass tubing. I opted for a medium sized piece of brass tube in order to ensure a strong connection point. The dragon as we have seen is rather large and I wanted to make sure that the join to the base was as strong as possible. Upon completion the brass tube will be epoxied into the base and I will also be rather liberal in my application of epoxy between the two pieces.
To be continued...
