Colonel Cross Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I recently acquired some new tank kits since all of my Leman Russes are from like 1999. Anyway, I was trying to figure out how to magnetize tank commanders and their hatches and I haven't been able to think of anything simple. I could have sworn I saw something on instagram or somewhere online before but couldn't find anything on Dakka or here. Anybody ever try this out?

Colonel Cross Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Appreciate the effort, Marshal, but that tutorial doesn't appear to cover what I'm looking for. I did, however, just use my hand drill to place a wire in the tank hatch cover. So that is now moveable. I just gotta think about how to place a commander on the cupola so he is stable and easily removable ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Can you glue some sprue underneath so you can set a magnet in it and then magentise the commander and regular hatch to go on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Cross Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Yeah I'm just going to stick a dowel rod in there with magnets. Should be fairly straightforward. I'm pretty happy with how easy it was to stick a rod through the hatch hinges so I didn't need to worry about magnetizing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
