Thank for the vid. I use 3mmx1mm magnets and drilled out the hole in the hull a bit deeper than the magnet. Then I can easily ensure the magnet is flush to the mount.
you prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Gavin Titan thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Do you have some kind of magnetic material on the bottom of the hull segments as well, or is there enough hold from the magnets in the turret rings to hold them together? Also, I assume there is enough material in the turrets to pop a 2x1mm magnet in them, or is there something else in there? Also, thanks for the great video
Thanks for the compliment! :) There are magnets in all of the top and bottom turrets, 3mm x 2mm in size. And there is plenty of room to put 2x1mm magnets in the turret guns :) I should have shown the unmodified pieces in the video but once you look at the sprues it's easy to see how the magnetizing will work! edit: the hull segments/halves are glued together as noted in the video :)
Fantastic. Just saw that you used 1x1 (I think) in the turrets themselves, and I don't happen to have those around. So for the hull segments, the magnets in the turret rings are all that are holding those together?
Sorry I misunderstood your original question. The hull segments are glued together with plastic cement, because they are the same for all cruisers. The turrets have 2x1mm magnets in them :)
I've been contemplating, so as to save money and stretch out my magnets, to magnetize one part and then glue on a cut off nail head on the connecting piece. Have you tried this? If so, does it work? Would you recommend this to those that are trying to stretch out their resources?
Micheal Cormier that would be possible with parts this size, but I wouldn't bother with the time to cut off nail heads unless you have a vice and workshop setup. I'd suggest buying a pack of M2 or M3 washers and save loads of time and effort :)
The video would be much better if you didn't have a white table - its making the camera go mental - the flickering kills my eyes! The actual content was pretty good though.
Thx so much for your video. A friend recommended your channel to me and I will try your tricks tomorrow when i unpack my own starter set!

Yep, should always drill a little deeper than the magnet - nothing worse than it sticking out and not being able to get it back out!

@Gavin Titan it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
Can we get some tips on Scourge ships? They're proving to be a bit more of a pain.
ShiftyMcGoggles we're running late getting the rest of the DFC project videos out but yes for sure we'll be doing some Scourge videos!
Tiny Plastic Spacemen wonderful! You've just netted yourself another subscriber!

Do you think you'll get around to doing a vid like this for the phr or other races?
are you magnatising the PHR vessels any time soon?
Stephen Hurley definitely! I'll have a look video for those next week :)
'next week' he says, here we are 8 months or so later and nothing... though there IS a guy that did a text version of it.

WOOOOOO METRCI! :)

MrPieChee it's actually the lights that are the problem with the flickering, but that will be corrected in future videos :) Thanks for the thumbs up
