Pinning Reaper Bones

[MisterDrow]

On smaller-scale models, super-glue seems to hold them together just fine, even when taking a beating on the table. I'm concerned about some of my larger pieces, though... dragons and whatnot. Can you pin the Bones plastic in the same way you would any other miniature? If not, do you have any tips for an alternative?

You can pin them the same way.

Few threads on the Reaper Boards about it:

I used greenstuff on my copy of Narthrax and that is holding fine. I also used UHU glue on it as I wasn't sure about using GW superglue on it.

They are very easy to pin but are a little picky. Take care when drilling as you will go through them much faster then you are used to. Also, drilling the same hole several times helps a lot. The Bones material tends to close up a hole a bit and drilling a few times helps get it to the right size. I've only used brass rods (and only to secure them to a base). Make sure you've got something that can get a firm grip on the rod as sometimes it can take some force.
