I have been looking for a way to magnetize my battlewagons but i have been unsuccessful on in my first attempt to do so. can anyone give me a hand? Im looking to magnetize the zzap, kannon mount and then the front prow.

Drill holes where you want the magnets to go. The glue the magnets in place with super glue (while making sure they still attract). Let the glue dry for a long time- trust me on this, magnets are strong!

There are a few articles/threads on magnetising in Dakka if this doesn't help you out.

Cheers,

Jack.

You don't need to magnetize the ram or the death rolla you need to clip off the pins





leave the round bit to hold it on the battlewagon

For figures and small items on vehicles, I use:


http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/SearchResult-CategoryID-28.html <- you want NSN0566, which is $9 for 100,

Use a pin vise to make a guide hole, and then use a 1/8th bit dremel bit on a very low speed, is what i do. Trust me on the guide hole, or use the pin vise for both, because the 1/8th bit on the dremel has a rounded edge and is very susceptible to "skipping" across a model

thanks so much for all the help!

I did mine (The dozer blade and gunz) but I don't have photos of the magnets specifically, in my gallery. If you need I'll take photos as good as I can get and post them here?

Let me know.

Thanks i found your pics and they were a great help.
