Thinking of using magnets with my building of models and such soon, and I just need some tips and such, I was looking at these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100pcs-Neodymium-Disc-Mini-3mm-X-1mm-Rare-Earth-N35-Strong-Magnets-Craft-Models-/330783168822 are they any good? What's the best type of magnet to use?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the nooby question.

Those are the right magnets to use, I use 1/16 X 1/32 inch magnets which is that same size I think (I'm from Canada and I should use cms)

The neodymium magnets are the best because they are really strong but you have to make sure they are glued in right or else the pressure made when taking them apart can peel the magnet right off the glue. You can use some green stuff to keep them in place as well if you want.

Just a good tip is to mark one side of each magnet (the south or north just keep it consistent) so that when you gluing the magnets you will be able to interchange the magnetized parts between models.
