Hey all, I ordered a Phantom Titan and want to pin and magnetize it. I didn't find a lot of help online. So, I'm switching up my approach and asking more general questions now. What glue, rods, and magnets do you use when assembling a large resin model? I'm no stranger to Forge World. I've built a War Hound, Porphyrion, Ta'unar Supremecy Suit, and the Orion Dropship; and I've pinned all of them. I have not magnetized them, though, I've magnetized hundreds of other models.

What materials do you suggest I use for the Phantom Titan? Its very tall and heavy, so I will have to pin practically all of it. What size rods, and are there any you recommend specifically? Ones on Amazon would be preferable. Is there a specific glue that would hold the model together better than the Loctite I currently use? I heard that there are some 2-part epoxies that hold things together much better than super glue. Can you recommend any? Also, I plan on magnetizing the arms for transport and swappability between D-Bombards and the swords. I don't use big magnets at all, and I am unfamiliar with the ones I should use for the Phantom. I'm not asking which size magnets I should use, but more in the line of what brand/type I should use. They have to be big cause they will hold on heavy weapons, and I might even do the waist if it's possible. This would also require they be attached using a strong glue.

If anyone has any tips that can help me plan out this build I'd really appreciate it. I'm sinking a lot of money into this and I want to make sure I do it right the first time. Thank you.
