The Grind and Magnets.....


So definitely not going as fast as I would like it, but I am learning a lot along the way.  I want to magnetize as many options as I can for each Knight, however I need to figure out how to magnetize each option as I go.   The balance between the magnet holding the weight of an arm or torso, but not destroying the model when it is time to take it apart is still an experiment in progress.

I've decided not to magnetize the shoulders.  They will be under the shoulder armor, so I don't see an advantage to magnetizing them.  The elbows I'm trying to magnetize now, and the options for the weapons.  I do have the waist magnetized and am debating weather to magnetize the feet to the base or glue them on to a scenic base.

I don't see an advantage even in transportation to magnetize the feet, though I have seen several Knights magnetized that way.

I'm not the fastest model builder obviously.
