Parweke Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 dont have any, just found 16 3mm x 1mm from previous attempt to magnetise something something... problem is that I dont have a drill that can use 5mm drillbit... and im not sure I should use powertools with these :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/4/#findComment-5190323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 If they are glued already then you have no choice but to dig them out. Otherwise extract them with a stronger magnet and drill a bit deeper, just buy 3x2mm magnets with your next order (unless it is a long time from now). I bought a set of 5 drillbits (2mm to 6mm) for metal from a DIY store especially for my miniatures. No need for the powertool.

Parweke Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 what kind of tool are you using? my (is it called pinvise?) can only use 3mm drills or smaller Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/4/#findComment-5190338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Actually I just rotate the drillbit with my fingers, that way I can't go too fast nor much too deep. I should buy a pin vice for the smaller drillbits I have (fingers hurt after drilling 6 x 1mm holes into each of my 12 knights ) For larger, flatter pieces (e.g. wood frame or large plasticard) I use the very basic Bosch powertool, using drillbits with hexagonal basis.

Parweke Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 uuh, no I wont use my hands to do it :) maybe I'll try locking pliers or something. and when I have money just buy a bigger pin vise.

Fajita Fan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I don't know if the Dremel Stylus is still around but it was one of the best hobby investments I made.

Parweke Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 yeah, something like that would be nice. or cheap chinese alternative but to wait for it for a month or longer...

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 In all honesty, the plastic is soft enough to drill a shallow hole with your fingers and the 5mm drill bit. It gives a lot more control than any power tool, even a Dremel on the lowest setting.

Zhiv Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I am using 1 mm drill to make a hole, the hobby knife to widen it a bit and then the blade of the pliers to carve out a hole for 3 mm magnet.

Parweke Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 well, I used rechargable hand drill :) worked very well on the reaver shoulders, not so much on the arm so I sliced the top off with a hobbyknife and glued/greenstuffed 5 mm magnet in there. so much better now than with 3mm magnets. even magnetising the power fist was a success. did some mask taping before dinner. now a short rest after it and then some airbrushing. I should have some progress pics later tonight.

Parweke Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 http://i.imgur.com/lfVDD7g.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TWjPmfa.jpg Reavers are so much easier to build and paint than Warlords. I might finish this one tomorrow. Then comes the hard part. Todays news made me think how will I go forward from here. The "new" reaver is so much better looking that I need couple of them for Mortis. my warhounds are still a no show (5 days late) and that is maybe a good thing. I might go back to my original idea of 3 warlords and 2 reavers for Mortis and make Atarus reaver and warhound heavy. If I finish the reaver tomorrow and my package arrives then I just might start Atarus too.

Parweke Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 You take a lot of Ibumax - whatever that is. mild painkillers... :) and not all are mine, I ask them from friends and family... the larger ones are stronger prescription painkillers those I take for my neck and back. that ibumax boosts the effect.

Parweke Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 release the hounds! http://i.imgur.com/YTTEO5a.jpg some new paints too http://i.imgur.com/l8JpVgQ.jpg does anyone have experience with vallejo liquid metallics? I have heard good things about them. only downside is they are alcohol based and need synthetic brushes and own cleaner, but I have all those. wanted to try the silver on panel trims for Atarus. one layer should be enough.
