Magents

Posted in Custom Workstation

I've purchased some small earth magnets for weapon swivelling and holding weapons but how would I place the magent, drill a small hole or make a gap to place the magnet and then fill it with putty etc?

Ideas greatly recieved.

drill small hole for magnet. You want it to be just slightly deeper than the magnet. put a drop of glue in the hole and place the magnet in. let it dry.

Do the same for the attachment, but before gluing it in make sure you have the magnet the right way around, otherwise you'll never get the two to attract each other.

You should now be able to put a very thin layer of sculpy over the magnet and paint over it to match the rest of the figure.
