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.

Finally the Heads...

Some day I will figure out how to not have so many projects in so many different fields on the go at one time.  Finally have the heads for these together.  Going to be magnetizing as much as I can on these guys.

More Bigger Projects...


Keeping with my theme of "too many projects on the go at one time" I have added another one.





I'm about half way through construction on these guys. Going to leave most of the Armor plates off for easier painting.  So far the legs are pretty much done.  Trying to decide on how much I'm going to magnetize for flexibility and transportability.  I know I'm only half way through assembly, but already have too many color schemes bouncing around my head.

I really need to start cutting down on projects...
