    FYI em4 Miniatures has 50 packs for about 10 US dollars of dwarves and Orcs with different weapon combinations

    They are perfect for beginners and kids

    Ask and ye shall receive! I finished with the end pieces last night. I won't be able to work on it anymore for several days, since I'll be going on a small vacation to Atlanta tomorrow through the weekend. Next weekend I have a big 5000 pt game planned as well, so it might be a little while. But anyway, it's together and very sturdy!

    Yeah the end pieces of course also add to the stability.
    Well done!

    You should build open top boxes for the corners to hold drinks

    I've considered it. But probably something that can clip onto the edge so that they can easily be removed. Everything I've seen has all been very clunky and taken up lots of space, even when folded up. I'm thinking about making trays that will slip over the lip and use the side as a back support. They can be moved wherever you need them (any side) and can be stored easily out of the way, when not in use. I'll probably do something like that. I can have a portion of it for attachable drink holders and even one for dice rolling. Many, many possibilities!

    The equivalent to kicking the table over when I start losing?

    Sorry, just wanted to ask something. I currently have an Ophidian Archway and a Numinous Occulum built in their component pieces, but not completely glued together, so as to allow flexibility with how I build it each time. Is it feasible to have it like this and spray and paint it, or do I just need to pick a configuration and glue it like that to use it properly?

    I'd use rare earth magnets, depending on the connection points

    I agree, neodymium magnets would most likely work fine. I am not too familiar with the model but on first glance it looks like you can magnetize it.

    Sorry I don't have any experience or actual magnets for that sort of thing. The only thing I really have other than glue to stick them together is Blu-Tak. Do you think that would still work or should I just bite my lip and glue them?

    You don't need experience. We can teach you. They are pretty simple to use

    To be honest, I think the real question is how possible is it to magnetise or glue it after it's been sprayed and painted?

    You would have to add the magnets or prep the spot before painting. If you add the magnets, painters tape over them wholr painting to protect the facing

    So do you think the best thing to do is cover up the contact points during spraying and then just get on with painting and magnetise/glue them at a later date?

    (By the way, sorry @Chicken Lips for hijacking your thread. Probably best to move the conversation here where I put the question too http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/ravagekittehs-models.19582/ )
