How should I attach the figures to my layout?

Troubleshooting
Figure won't stay in place.
Use a small amount of model adhesive or adhesive putty to secure the figure to the base or terrain.
Paint appears uneven or has minor smudges.
This can be a characteristic of hand-painted items. For minor imperfections, a very fine brush with compatible model paint can be used for touch-ups by experienced modelers. Otherwise, embrace the unique handcrafted look.
Paraglider material seems delicate.
Handle the paraglider components with care during placement. Avoid bending or creasing the fabric elements.
