I sent him a Hammerhead turret and a number of battlesuits and had him magnetize all of the hardpoints and weapons. Turned out very nicely and got them back pretty quickly. Too bad I haven't had the chance to paint them.

very sorry if you have done previous work for others if so

sorry


PLEASE DONT KILL ME!!!

Why would you even post that? It is obvious he has done work for other members with great satisfaction.
I am getting ready to do some nob bikers but I was going to cut a nail to size, drill through the body and insert the nail, and put the magnets in the arms. I figured rare earth magnets would hold onto the nail. I may just get hold of you and see how that works out.

Great looking work Lormax. Not a service I personally require, but good luck!

First off, THREADOMANCY IS A BAD THING.
Don't do it.
The dang thing was 3 months old when you dredged it up from the muck.

Second... Why would you question him like that? Especially in his trade thread when you have no evidence of wrong doing. Nice way to drag his name through the mud.

Third: Know that of which you speak.
As has been said, he's done work for a bunch of people here.

I happen to have gotten to know Lormax pretty well. He's a stand up guy.

Eric

Jamunition, any negative feedback concerning Lormax's work would be posted here within minutes of the discovery. Several Dakkites have provided their own accounts of his service above. Just an FYI, not trying to be a hit squad...

You back into production again Lormax, i need you soon ish

GRRR how come I can't see the pics in this thread :-(

Hey while I'm at it, how do you post pics? I've done some neat magnetization and wanted to let you see them.

How much would it be to magnetize a soul grinder at the arms, Between torso and hull and the legs
And would it be at all possible if I sent you the money you bought the the Soul Grinder and then did the job.
BTW Im just thinking about this

how much does it cost to get something magnetized??
do you do super heavy vehicles?? if not got any tips for magnetizing the new shadowsword??

I don't think Lormax is actively looking at this thread. With that being said magnetizing isn't too hard. I just got done doing 2 defilers (all side weapons rotate 360, elevate at least 45 degrees and all weapons are interchangible) and 3 hammerhead/devilfish (as in the burst cannon and hammerhead sensor swap out, both engine assemblies come on and off the vehicle, turret weapon swaps out with railgun/ion cannnon (doesn't need magnetization though, and the side hatches open and close)

What I haven't figured out yet is how to make the landing gear retract. I'm still pefecting the side doors.

If you have time and patience its as easy as pinning a model.

Hi, I am looking for a quote on 2-3rd edition Hive tyrants with the following magnitized weapon options for each.

*2 - TL Devourers (4rth so 4 total per mini)
*1 - Set of Scything Talons
*1 - Set of Lashwhip and Bone Sword (4rth)
*1 - Venom Cannon
*1 - Barbed Strangler

I don't want the weapons to droop

Hey all. Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you, I only just recently got settled back into a working computer, internet, etc etc. Also apologizing for the threadomancy, but since it's my thread anyway...?

Anyway, thanks to those that have posted about the jobs I did for them, especially Ifurita! I was wondering what you had thought about the job

jamunition: I'll be giving you my name, phone number, main email address, my home address...been on Dakka for a number of years and have met the owner of Dakka face to face a number of times. I dunno how else to say I'm not a scammer

Magickal: Thanks man

Squig_Herder: I'm available and my slate is clean. I understand it's been awhile so if you don't need the work done anymore, no problem.

Khorny: Doing the Soul Grinder isn't a problem, and yes I can pick it up for you. What you could also do is order it from some place online, say Maelstrom or Warstore, and have it just shipped directly to me. Previous customers have done that already, worked out great. As far as cost, it would be $6 to magnetize those points, not including legs. I wasn't sure if you wanted each leg to be individually magnetized or not, so I didn't quote that. If you do, add $2 a leg. I provide the magnets and the greenstuff.

Deadly_Chicken: I ask $1 a magnet. I provide the work, the magnet and the greenstuff. The greenstuff will be filed, sanded and smoothed over so you won't even know the magnet is there. Yes, I'll do Super Heavies as well. If you want to tackle it yourself shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to kick around some ideas and help you out.

Sazzlefrats: I'd love to see what you've done. Retracting landing gear I haven't done for anyone yet, but I got some ideas on how to do it. Shoot me a PM, we can brainstorm

Wyomingfox: Qiuck quote is $24. None of the weapons will droop, I test each connection before calling it "done". The Lashwhip and Bonesword will definitely need an extra pin or two to prevent the droop, no extra cost.

For all those that inquired via PM, I'm responding to EVERYONE individually. Thanks again!

PM Sent

Here's a job that I finished recently. This job came to me through one of the painting services that's offered here. Here's some pics of one of the Broadsides that I magnetized up along with one of the stealth suit arms that I did. I ended up doing 6 Broadsides and 3 Stealth arms.

You'll see on the Broadside that both arm options are available. The metal arms wanted to droop at the swivel point so I installed a pin to prevent that from happening. The large railguns are magnetized so that if the owner wants to, he can use the body as a Crisis suit. It also makes storage a bit easier and if the suit happens to get knocked over (common, those damn guns stick out further than you think while playing!), you won't need to reglue the railgun back on. The top of the Railguns are also magnetized so that whatever options the suit has can be attached at the top. The last pic you'll see was taken to show that I wasn't using my fingers to hold the metal arms up and how flat the shoulder still is with the railgun removed. The same body was used in all pics.

If you're interested in having your Broadsides done like this, please contact me via PM. The railguns needed more work than I first anticipated otherwise they'll swivel around and look bad or just fall over because of the weight. Of course, it's all up to the owner on how he ultimately wants them to behave. Underslung arm-mounted railguns can be done as well, again please contact me.











For the stealth suits, the right arm was magnetized to allow the owner to swap weapons on the squad leader (the exact name escapes me) A few shots were taken to show the amount of gap between arm and gun and the strength of the bond. The same arm was used in all pics.

Thx for the fix GoFenris.

I'm starting to play around with light effects/LED's. Is this something anyone would be interested in as well? Drop a post in here, I'd like to see what kind of interest there is in it.

Nobody wants turn signals on their land raiders?

Argh, if only my suits weren't all glued already! Looks like some good work

If you really would like your suits done RiTides, I'm pretty sure I can get them done even with them being glued. It won't be the first time that I've performed surgery on an already built model Shoot me a PM, we can discuss what you'd like. Send me over one suit, see how it comes out and decide from there. Hope to hear from ya!

Yeah but they'd have his address, go on holiday and take a slight detour...petrol bomb his house....only if he stole their models mind...please dont try this at home, or at lormax's home come to think of it

I'm so confused

Just a quick Q. or 2 here.

Would it be possible to two magnets into a converted and fully painted daemon prince? (damage not an issue to the paint, can allways go over it)
Only problems being that the wings attatch on about a 5mm size connection, meaning not alot of room.
also, since they are metal and somewhat weighty, is there any possibility of a magnet? (if not ill have to think of a way around it)

Thanks and loving your work so far.

-JD

PMing you JD. I have some questions myself about the model to determine if magnetization alone will work.

His last login to Bartertown was on 8/27.

He's a pretty "stand up" guy. At this point, I wouldn't worry that you've been ripped off.

Eric

I'm in the same boat, sent him some stuff and haven't heard from him since. He has a lot of good references here, I'm sure he just has something going on right now. Hopefully he'll get back to Dakka soon though.

It must be this time of year. I was planning on getting some work done by him this time last year and then he suddenly stopped returning my emails/pm's so I just dropped it. I know he lives somewhere near me since we'd originally talked about meeting to discuss the work but I'd bank on it being something personal keeping his attention.

I know it's happened to me recently......Beside, he seems to have an excellent track record

I just got off of the phone with Lormax, everything is good . He is currently juggling 3 projects along with taking care of a personal emergency.

Good job, wf.
Thanks for posting for those who needed that information.

Eric
