Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Got my first bones, letting my kids pick one each to paint. One got the bone devil whose legs don’t seem to support its weight. Any advice on stabilizing the figure so it stays standing?

Do you mean this guy:



What's the issue? He should be self supporting. If he's all curled up then you can put him in hot water for a minute, shape him to your liking, and then dip him in ice water to shock him into shape.


Also Reaper paints are formulated specifically to work on Bones so if you're having issue try a bottle of that.

Yes, that’s the fellow. I used the hot water trick to stand it up, since it came fairly bent. However, I didn’t do the cold water step, I’ll do that next time. An hour later after straightening it couldn’t hold its own weight. It would slowly bend backwards under the weight of the wings. A day later, it looks to be in better shape, so I guess I underestimated how long it needed to cool.
