Niiai Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have glues on my fingers, magnets stuck to everything metal in this room and the arms keep faling of. Rare earth magnets are not doing what they should be doing... anybody got any advice? I got two hans done properly, but the arnms keep faling down towards the earth...

wolf363839 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 i got some great results with 1/32" magnets. I put three in each arm (which makes 12 total: 3 per arm, 3 per torso side). The trick is finding the right sized drill bit for your pin vice. I also use superglue gel, its easier to manage than the pure liquid stuff. I put a dab in each hole and then insert the magnets. finish it off by pushing the magnets flush with the surface. Note on "insertion" (ha ha): use a small stack of the tiny magnets, and then push one into the hole (gigity) then bend the stack and pull it away from the model, leaving the single magnet behind. http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae39/phil363839/DSCF1614.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae39/phil363839/DSCF1616.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae39/phil363839/DSCF1622.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189786-magnetising-wolf-guard/#findComment-2248162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullr Direfang Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 and then push one into the hole (gigity) LOL!!!! i just nearly died..... but i have seen your post (the pictures that is) before and wondered how you did it and what size magnets you uses. I might just have to steal that.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189786-magnetising-wolf-guard/#findComment-2248172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf363839 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 glad there's another family guy fan out there. i hope my previous reply helped. i'll try to keep watching this thread to see if you have any other questions i can help with. i also magnetize my vehicles, but that requires 1/16 and 3/16 magnets. same principles as before.

grunak Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hello fellow wolfs. Just thought I would offer a piece of advice on magnetizing arms. I realized that if I magnetized my wolf guard and specials weapons I would be lacking quite a few shoulder pads. So I used 1x1 mm magnets (tiny tiny) in the outside of the of the shoulder part of the arm and inside the shoulder pads. The shoulder pads are not quite deep enough to hold the magnets but you cant see it since it is inside the shoulder pad against the arm. Works like a charm and saves me having to get a bunch of extra shoulder pads. Just thought this might be usefull,hope your magnetizing works out. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189786-magnetising-wolf-guard/#findComment-2248895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
