Magnets!

By UnfairBanana, in X-Wing

Looking to get some for my ships. Any suggestions as to where/what to get?

While I'm all for magnetising stuff, I haven't done it on X-wing models. Icareane do come to mind as someone to ask about this subject.

You could ask the mormons if they have any? :)

I use 1/8 by 1/16 inch Rare Earth disc magnents. Works well for the z95, X-wing, and Y-wing I've done so far. I think tonight I will do my TIEs and update. Don't know if they will work with bigger models like the HWK...

Fudging magnets, how do they work?

Miracles.

Also, if I weren't lazy, I'd post a Jesse Pinkman pic.

on topic, buried in this thread has great pics of magnetized ships and a link to the specific products used.

I made a blog post at Team Covenant when I modded my B-Wings - in short, I bought a pack of around 20 magnets 1/8" diameter

With magnets you can truly feel The Force.

Magnets are a great way to add some needed flare to your flying.

I'll second the vote for K&J Magnetics

I got some metal balls to glue to the top of the flight stands and some ring magnets that I glued in place of the pegs that I pulled of the ships.

It might help to prevent all the bumping on the table. Got a star mat but the texture is so smooth it is almost worse than a hardwood table.

I think I'm gonna put magnets on the turrets of my Decimator, and a HWK.. just for grins.. I have some 1/16th by 1/16th.. should be fine fire those turrets..

I could watch this all day.

I edited it to make it centered, just for you. Creates background weirdness, though.

I hadn't even thought of B-wing cockpits. Totally gonna do that.
Ended up getting a 100-pack off of amazon for under $10, which will hopefully get here by Tuesday.

Thanks! But now my head is spinning! :)

I can imagine the reb pilot sitting in his stabilised cockpit going: "Look what i can! whee! wheee!"
