How to make a stop motion armature walk without having that board?

in stop motion, they usually use an armature, and screw the feet to the bottom when walking, but how do you do that without showing that board with the holes in it at the bottom?? like if i were filming a project and had to have the ground look normal and flat, but where would i screw the feet for stabilization??How to make a stop motion armature walk without having that board?Magnetic feet on steel "ground"? I haven't tried it, but some modern magnets are quite strong. A disadvantage is that you're likely to flex the armature when pulling the feet off the ground. Or when sliding feet you may scratch the ground's paint.



A variation would be to put an electromagnet under the ground, but then if your armature is magnetic then the limbs will have extra force applied to them.



Note: test your materials. Stainless steel is not magnetic.
