Hello I want to learn how to magnetize the terminators arms so I can switch weapons.
Please show me a tutorial and with pics will be even better !
Thanks

I believe the most important tools used are:

dremel for making the holes

rare earth magnets ( small but strong )

So drill the holes, add the magnets in , and voila.
use glue or green stuff to make sure magnet stays in.

Where do you get the magnets? And seriously what are those green stuff?

Just google "rare earth magnets" they sell that everywhere, cheap too.

Green stuff are called epoxy putty , they are mixed from blue and yellow strips which then they harden solid.
they some what sticks too so its good for keeping things in place.

Just be carefull because in the assault termies box they give you enough weapons for 10 marines(5X TH/SS, 5X LC) but only 5 shoulderpads
