@@foxhound7277 I don't disagree that I could also talk more about swapping pauldrons(shoulder plates). However not only is this not really a problem for most Space Marine players as we tend to always end up with plenty of spares, actually you CAN magnetize those if you really want, and I've done it. Also there's even a third option for a way to handle this. Perhaps I could do a video all about that.

Thanks for watching!

@@biggerthanjapan Thank you for the kind words. Let me know if there are some other techniques I could help with

@@JGburneraccount those neodynium types work the best for these sort of hobby applications. You can certainly try another type but I can't offer experience on how well they may work.

@@LittleIAO thanks for the response, ill give it a go and see what happens cheers man awesome video.

Sorry for the slow reply. I haven't run into a case like that with Space Marines. However I have considered magnetizing larger Tyranids for instance and in that case you would need something. I sometimes have cut lengths of sprue and build frames inside the body cavity for other purposes and that's much more efficient than trying to fill up the space with putty. Polystyrene sheet is also useful. But you could use epoxy or foam of some type perhaps.

@@matthiasdolfeyn3948 Hey appreciate it. Well I'd have to look into that specific model but there may be a way.

paint over it

Oh I wouldn't call it ideal but it's not easy for most people to get the magnets seated perfectly every time. For the ones that I've sanded a little none have developed any issues after many years.

@@mrerdnussbutter4575 Shoulders are easy to get for the most part so there's that. Most of them are interchangeable. However if I absolutely had none extra and couldn't get them I'd either sculpt some from putty on top of the shoulder on the arm or I'd tack the separate ones onto the torso in such a way that the arm could go on and off underneath.

Ah thanks. Life got in the way but there will finally be more to come soon.

Hey thanks a lot Nick! Well... Actually a LOT happened since then and I did largely redesign that whole scheme. However it is still metallic based. I think you've inspired me to go ahead and do a new "State of the Table" video even though those get a miniscule amount of views. At least it will be a good check-in on what changed.

@@LittleIAO Oh defo do the video, that would be great. The views will come if you keep ticking out the content 👍

That's hard to say. It could be the glue isn't setting or perhaps the hole you drilled doesn't give enough surface area to grab them. They should be slightly snug.

@@LittleIAO I'll try making a more snug fit next time. Thanks 👍

​@marcfun347 you've probably fixed it by now but a fix I found is to use tamiya cement mixed with leftover sprue to build up any gaps in the drilled hole, so that the magnet fits flush and snug.

@@BlurriestSky I have not but I haven't used Tamiya cement. So I will try that. I was thinking of using green stuff or modeling clay to create a flat surface to bond

Oh well it could be tough to say about those new kits just yet. If they have standard separate pauldrons you can magnetize them if you want to. I have done that in the past. However I don't usually end up doing it because I just haven't found it very useful.

Very cool. I generally have zero issue with magnet strength if they are flush. I have tried various recess techniques but still prefer a flush connection. Thanks for watching!

Probably the same I would use on Imperial Knights if it's for the largest parts. I found some decent ones that are 8x3. But tbh I've never worked on a Stompa so it is a guess.

@@LittleIAO thanks i am new to the entire model making thing and i am trying to get as much info as possible before i ruin a model

⁠@@huggelionexactly the comment I was hoping for since I’m planning on getting a stompa soon and would love to magnetise it

@@kirbyfunkpop8874 i have just started and the arms are about 5 mm but you will have to cut and drill and the holes in the body for the arms is about 8mm and if you magnetize the head correctly you just need strong ones of any size. dont forget that you can double layer the magnets so that parts will stay on

@@huggelion I appreciate the info I just really don’t wanna mess up a model of that scale

Hello! Welcome.

​@@LittleIAOso where can I contact you for business?

Thank you!

I've run across that conversion online a ton.

Appreciate it!

Thanks man!

Thanks. I did!

Thanks! Yes ze chrome Achilles!

Thanks dude. Was a blast.

I'll make sure to let you know!

Thanks! Maybe...

Thank you!

Anniversary on Thursday. 40k on the weekend. 😉

It's definitely common courtesy ;)

I do hope it's helpful.

@@LittleIAO It was really helpful

😆

I DO NOT ENDORSE THIS!

Wow yeah I definitely didn't know that name. The one I use is really soft metal but no for my purposes I can't imagine needing a pommel. Thanks for that info!

Really appreciate it! Hope to have more videos like this going forward!

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

@@LittleIAO Your welcome

Using a combo of stuff. Still use Retributor Armour but also a lot of Scale 75 golds.

You can!

Thanks. You can do it!

Thanks!

Hey thanks! Yes that's annoying when it happens. It's why I show that part where I slide the magnets away.

Thanks Steve. That's one of the goals.

Awesome! Thanks Guy!
