Remove pin shaft top
to leave a length of
between 7mm and
15mm.
The Pros:
• Cost about 1¢ each (or less).
• Hardly noticable once placed.
• With model glue, can be held
firmly in place.
• Can be painted.
• Large pins offer very good
hold with Alligator Clips.
The Cons:
• Not possible to attach Smoke/
Fire indicators to pin head,
although these can attach
directly to the Alligator Clip.
• Pin head tends to break after
long use (larger sized pins fair
better).
• Doesn't always allow model
sit straight.
• Can be awkward to attach.
• Hard to replace broken pin.

Before painting the model:
make a hole in the bottom
of the model* and then
insert the pin; use model
glue to secure pin in place.
NOTE: Pins come in various sizes; The
larger sized pins seem to work best
although these are harder to obtain.
Wooden beads have also been used, but
the Alligator Clips tend to destroy these
after a short time of use.
* Use a heated pin to melt this hole in plastic models.
ACTUAL SIZE
Large Pin:
7mm Dia
Push pins may also be used. However,
few people have used these so its too
early to say if this is a workable
solution. Model glue will strengthen
the bond to the model.
Small Pin:
4mm Dia
