Getting Started with Adeptus Titanicus...
Howie Did It...
A few people have asked me to show how I would magnetise the weapons so here goes at my first tutorial…
First magnet in...First off, these are fairly easy kits to magnetise, a few people in various groups have suggested that they were deliberately designed this way.
The holes are pre made at 5×1 mm so it was easy to source the right size magnets and when flush they fit nicely.
I normally try to do a dry test fit with a magnet to see if any glue is needed and adapt from there.
Firstly I isolate one magnet of the correct size on the end of a stack of much smaller magnets and check the fit against the hole.
5mm on a stack of 2mmOnce I check the fit (basically fit it flush in the hole) I check how secure it is my trying to pull it back out again with some stronger 10mm magnets. If it comes out then I need to add some super glue around the back to help hold the original magnet in place
This one needed some glue. I also added a small 2mm hole to allow expansion room for air/glue to help fit the magnet flush.
Repeat for each upper arm section, dry fit the magnet then glue if needed. Out of 7, 5 needed gluingAfter I did the upper arm sections I then moved on to the shoulder sections.
I used the same stack of magnets attached to the upper arm section to keep polarity then test fitted to the under shoulder joint.
Keeping the polarity...
Here's the magnet in the lower shoulder jointHope this rough and quick guide helps. Please ask me for more detail etc if needed, this is the first time I’ve attempted a tutorial etc
