OK, here's what I do.

First off, drill a small  hole inside the hole in the model. Then, drill
a
similar hole (I use a pin vice) in the 'pole' you mount it on. Then,
superglue a straight piece snipped off a paper clip into the hole on the
'pole. Then glue all that into the model with a bit of two-part epoxy
glue,
steady it with some tape or blutack and leave overnight. I've never had
one
break despite being dropped, thrown, stuffed in bags..
