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/ )

You could do thst. I would decide on magnetization now, as you will have to cut a hole/divet out at the contact point

Well I can do that once I've decided, but for now I at least have a plan of action for painting in the meantime. Thanks
 
I don't mind this discussion at all. Sorry for the late reply, ravagekitteh, but I'm out of town on a vacation and been quite busy.

The Archway is a VERY solid piece once put together. I think you could magnetize it, though, I'm not quite sure why you'd do that. The separate pieces by themselves, aren't very substantial. They, in my opinion, wouldn't make good terrain alone. Then you have the issue about the interior, second-floor platform. It's the thinnest piece and I don't think that it'll magnetize very well. Other than the sturdy corner connections, that floor piece is the part that holds the model together and firm.

All that is to say, I think you'd be better served by biting the bullet and going ahead with gluing the model together. It's a really nice model and you'll get lots of use out of it.

If you do decide to go with magnetizing the separate pieces, I'd prime the model parts first, then drill holes where the magnets would go (make sure they have the correct connecting poles pointed in the proper direction!) and then glue them in so that they are sunk far enough so that they don't show. (This is also the problem with the second floor piece. It isn't think enough to dirll into far enough for the magnets to disappear, and if you just glue them to the edge of it, then your model will be pushed apart from the way it's meant to fit together.)

I hope that helps!
 
I've been working on a few Dwarfs. Here are 10 more Irondrakes that I'm adding to the 10 that I've already got painted up. Not a bad unit!

Great stuff. Is the giant Flash in the background their overlord?
 
Haha! You know how Dwarfs are with their large state carvings! (I have a bunch of Super Hero statues. That's just one I keep on my desk.)
 
Lol, or that he'll sap their enemies, speed! -That's why the Runes of Slowness work!

Dude. How much money do you have.


Granted, when I worked at a hobby shop I cut that kit about 50 times. It's a nice kit.
 
Lol, not enough! I've been collecting a LONG time and much of this stuff comes from piles I have set back for rainy days. I'm also constantly scouring ebay and other places for good deals. I jump on them when I see something that I might want to work on someday. It all adds up. I'm pretty much to the point now that I don't have to buy anything much really. That box of Irondrakes I've had for 3-4 years probably.

Here's their progress though!

All assembled and ready for primer!
 
Here's a quick pic I took the other day when I had most of my Dwarf stuff laid out. It's not everything, but most of it. I need to take updated, better pics. Sorry for the poor quality. :(

That is a mighty fine force. And so much of it is painted!
 
I like my Shorties. There's still a good bit of it in the box behind them. I just snapped this one to send to a friend as motivation for a game we're going to be playing this weekend.
