A few companies make these squares, but so much cheaper to make your own... nicely done.

[@bigwoz78]

Sure does make a layout come alive

At the beginning I swear Scottie from the enterprise is standing outside one of the houses the guy in the red shirt 😊
Take care
Mark 😊😊

Yeah, it's a great way of utilising waste packaging.
I'm in the process of doing another load of these little people myself Dave.
They really add life to the layout.
Happy Modelling

That's what I use, works very well, and easy to camo, one tip I would mention, you don't have to wait for the glue to set, just touch the feet to square and pick it up, the square will follow, and for group scenes, use bigger squares

[@johnsterling7420]

Great idea Dave, I been doing this for a lot of years, what is nice you can move them around. Good for you Dave.👌👍😇🇺🇸

[@caboosech]

Great job on your layout

[@paulmarmion358]

Great idea 👍

[@kevo05s]

Brilliant! I've never actually thought of using the packaging for this!

[@user-qy9mn6qi3i]

I've used those paint chips you get in the paint store and cut them and glued people to them. Your idea is much better.

[@BriansModelTrains]

Smart!

[@raymondleggs5508]

I have a lot of ancient figures with the moulded on base lol, I just glue them to the sidewalk or platform, I also have some chinese freestanding ones which I repaint, cut the legs off of and use as bus and coach filler

[@odilemahot2011]

Nice one Dave, That " gives food for thought " I'll need to remember this cool move.

[@WWIIREBEL]

I do this exact thing w/mine. It's truly one of the best ways in town/city scenes. Another way is to glue figures to simple flat head thumbtacks (painted green). I use those for areas with a lot of trees on the foam board base (forests,parks,etc.) and then i carefully apply static grass to the bases around the feet.

Dave, ever heard of CA glue accelerator? It is a spray that makes the CA glue set instantly.

[@michealbeltz9523]

Thank You Dave. Love it.

[@user-uk8jr6zc9l]

Even the song you played during placement had a lot of BASE. hahaha, too Dadish? Jersey Bill

[@804titan]

this was awesome.. thanks for the content , can't wait to use it

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

Excellent video, may I ask , where did you get your figures from, TYIA-JC

[@ScottRails]

I printed them myself. Files from thingiverse.

Call in the army if the town people are revolting....

[@joeraderblackrockcentralrr]

NOW just remember not to vacum them up when you clean !!!

[@hirsutusi5536]

Good idea for the two legged folks but how do you handle the beasties standing in the tall grass?

[@johnparker7874]

The squares will last longer then the layout

[@johnparker7874]

Need some police at the Timmy's......

[@arrow1414]

That town needs a Department of Sanitation.

[@OldcampRanch]

Is Scottsville a prison where no one can leave of his own accord? Yikes!

[@aircooledhead]

They don’t Want to leave!😊

[@hirsutusi5536]

Same as Hotel California.
