Stand for devastator marine

[johanvanacker]

I just finished building the devastator marine.
The template generously offered by DaiShiHUN.
Unfortunately, I face one problem: the marine does not stand on its own due to the large backpack attached.

Does anyone have ideas / examples of a stand that I can use to glue marine on so that it does not tumble ?

Wow, a cool one, and a great build, if I may say He is in my mid- to long term to-do list, too.
Is it too late to disassemble partially his boots (from the bottom) and put some serious weight inside? In my Wolf Guard Terminator I used lead balls (for air rifle, available in hardware stores), but anything else might be used... I made clusters from the balls using paper sticky tape, then glued the clusters inside the boot, paper on paper Some reinforcing of the "sole" is needed, of course.

And this outweighs the autocannon, which is very heavy itself

Melted Lead fishing weights. Make a metal shape similar to the feet and you're a shoe in!

Thank you for the ideas.
I'll start looking for something heavy I can use to balance the model. Cutting open the shoe at the bottom won't be an issue since it is not visible in the finished model.

Please, post a picture of it when you are satisfied with your results, I (we'd) love to see it. From all sides too.
