Add Weight to a Display Game Prop

A lightweight prop can look great until it tips on a shelf or shifts in its display stand.

Decide whether weight belongs in the base, low body section, or a hidden internal cavity.

Secure any added material so it cannot rattle. Test the prop on its intended stand and at its intended display angle.

Recheck wall mounts and carrying plans after adding weight. A small, well-placed change can improve stability greatly.
