brother varen Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Has anyone tried to magnetize the new Baal predator tank yet? If so can you post a how to article to help me. I have 6 new Baal preds coming and am looking to magnetize them so i can change them to become all predator varients. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196996-magnetizing-the-baal-how-to/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I magnetized my pred its not that hard. Put the magnets in those sponses. For the turret you dont need magnets just remove those pins and keep it al ittle bit rough. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/Spacefrisian/IMG_3524.jpg Something like this.

TheBobulator Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Just look up any magnapred tutorial, the only diff with the baal predator that i know of are the types of guns, otherwise the mounts should be the same.

brother varen Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 I heard that the gun mounts were different that is why i posted this request. Does anyone know for sure that the gun mounts are the same?

captain Mungo Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 So are the sponsons mounts, theyve added a lower bracket to support the rotating cylinder holding the gun. The gun and ammobox is attached one on a pin on each side of the cylinder. Just looking at the sprue it should be easy enough to cut the pins off and drill a hole straight through, superglue a magnet there and two more in the pinholes on the gun and ammobox.

Brother Predacon Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 You're in luck! I just finished magnetizing my predator! First I recommend having a small power drill or a rotary (Dremel) tool, an exacto blade, and obviously the magnets. Remember kids, knives are sharp and eyes and fingers are delicate, so be careful. I recommend dry fitting all components BEFORE doing any cutting/drilling. First, assemble the turret as normal EXCEPT that you must clip the sides of the mantlet and the plastic framing where the square pegs from the weapons will go. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae251/predacon_photo/058.jpg Glue a small rare earth magnet inside the back wall of the turret. Let it dry completely before bringing it near another magnet! Next, clip the square pegs off of the rear of the turret and file it or smooth it out with the exacto. Drill a small hole just large enough for another magnet in the back of the turret and glue it in place. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae251/predacon_photo/054-1.jpg Next, assemble the weapons as normal. Once they are dry, clip the square pegs off of them and smooth the edge with a file or an exacto blade. Glue another magnet to each weapon. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae251/predacon_photo/060.jpg Drill holes into the sides of the sponson ports. Make sure the hole is only just big enough for the magnet to fit. (Note, please do this BEFORE placing the weapons in the ports) http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae251/predacon_photo/052.jpg Glue a magnet onto the sides of the predator frame. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae251/predacon_photo/049.jpg Remember your polarity and always allow all of the glue holding the magnets to dry completely!!! I use a marker to mark the polarity on the magnets (lessons learned the hard way). That just about says it all. Enjoy! Any questions, please just ask :D http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae251/predacon_photo/063.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae251/predacon_photo/047.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196996-magnetizing-the-baal-how-to/#findComment-2373972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
