i use a piece of paper between the magnet and the rest of the other magnets to separe it when i put a magnet in the hole where there is glue. A trick that work like a charm.
This was great! I'm always hesitant to magnetize because I find the process stressful, but this method was pretty painless. It worked really well, too. Feels a lot better to have both weapons as an option now, given there's no obvious pick like there are with some kits. Thanks for sharing!
Nice. Just don't get too obsessed with magnetising everything ;) I've a few models in the pile of shame I'm putting off building until I work out how to magnetise them.
Thanks for the vid. Wanted to repeat just how important it is for them to be flush. all but one magnet in the cog was SLIGHTLY sticking out and it was enough to push the gun apart. Filed it down and it fits proper.
I just finished three sets of magnetized weapons for the invictor. Generally, this is a great method. I found that a dremel high speed cutter bit worked better than a 3mm (1/8) drill bit for boring out the holes in each side of the weapons. I used a cordless drill with either a 1/8 bit or the dremel high speed cutter (#193) to do all the holes. I found that it was effective to put bit #74 down on a piece of wood with blue tac then drill. It was also helpful that the drill bit I used had a small hole starter point, it made drilling the pilot hole unnecessary.
I don't like to use the Dremel for this just because I like the control you get with the hand drills, but if you can get the Dremel to work for you then it'll certainly speed things up.
@@GoodEnoughWargaming I used a dremel bit in a cordless drill rather than a dremel tool. The cordless drill doesn't spin as quickly, but plenty fast for plastic. You could also use a dremel with a variable speed.
@@GoodEnoughWargaming Since I'm talking through my whole process here. I was doing three sets of weapons and joints at one time. I wanted all the weapons to work with any joint. To do this it was important that the polarity of each joint and weapon was set up the same way. I made sure to mark each joint which direction was facing forward and then make sure the polarities matched based on that orientation.
Oh god... I would have made a mold and copied that bit in green stuff before drilling and practiced on one of the copies first. Might do that as I'll be building two of these.
@@GoodEnoughWargaming mission successful! Two invictors done and only 4 cuts to the fingers (that's a win) thanks again for the tutorial it was really easy to follow
Thanks for this video. Yeah in the redemptor dreadnough there was 2 pivots.. annnd offcourse they wouldn't do the same in this kit like the redemptor kit..
I actually did the same process on my redemptor as I did here. I've probably still got the old sprue somewhere.. I think this way of magnetizing it is probably the easiest even with two pieces.
I literally was about to use Spikey’s method and thought, “hmmm, let me do one more search on RU-vid.” Glad I did!! This way is was easier and cleaner looking!
If I ever get another one I will but it's not likely in the near term, I'm saving money to blue on the Christmas battle boxes... I tend not to magnetise the visual options only the weapon choices, to many bits to lose.
So I know this video is old, but if you super glue something wrong and it's a fast drying glue, you can stick it in the freezer overnight to make the super glue brittle
