Set your fire in place on the landscaped base you have created for your model scene and test fit it over the slot. Press it down so the base of the logs touch the gravel surface. Lift the fire up and apply pva glue to the compressed areas of foam where the logs will fit, then glue the fire to the landscaping base. Turn down the lights and enjoy the realistic fire you've created for your dolls' house, Christmas village or model railroad!
