Well I had this idea to give my Baal Pred the ability to change though all the options with magnets. So I started building the Pred and drilled all the holes out to install magnets in all locations where I can swap parts out. Here are some pics of my model as of today.























CC welcome

Nice touch on the sponsons. Did you glue the space marine with storm bolter to the top of the turret? I hope not, because if you magnetized it, you could put it on the left circle hatch of the rhino. Or you could choose wether or not to have the storm bolter upgrade.

He is not magnetized but I do have to paint a closed hatch so as to give the option of a storm bolter or non storm bolter model.

IMHO this doesn't look like a P&M blog...

Indeed this seems like it belongs more in painting and modeling, still doesn't infringe on the ingenuity of the conversion.

That made no sence to me. If you want to use it as a rhino, it won't have a storm bolter! Also, you did a weird thing with the left hatch thingy on the tank, you let it be lower than the other? you should have made it to be level with the rest of the surface.

Sorry I creating a hatch that didn't have a storm bolter on it. That way the person who uses the Baal Pred could choose which one he wanted.

Hi OP, i was wondering what tools do you use to drill the holes. I really want to try magnetizing ^^v

I just used a dremel, drill bits and then a bit you can buy that will cause the hole to be flat that was it. Sometimes I just used the bits by themselves. I need to post some paint in progress pics soon but school has caused me to put this project on back burner. Have based coated scar red and then over coated it blood red picture will be up this weekend of work so far painting.
