OK, so after you have taken all the bits of the sprue and cleaned them up, start assembling the model, up until the point of the weapons sections that are on the last two pages of the instruction book. You may want to consider leaving some of the bits unglued for painting, which is what I did with my driver. Once you have done all that and you come to the gun holder piece that sits under the Stalker, then we will start to magnetise. Start by gluing a small piece plastic or plasti-card (I used an old cut up base) to the underside of that section as pictured below...
We have glued this section in so that we can glue a magnet onto the other side for the gun to magnetise to. Just cut off the piece of plastic on the gun that would normally fit into the hole and that bit is done. I am using these magnets in this section...
Next, use a 2mm drill to drill out a hole in the front of the gun after removing the plastic tab. Glue a 2x1mm magnet in the hole and then into the holes already on the rear sections of the three gun fronts as pictured...
Continuing on with the 2x1mm magnets and your drill piece, drill out the holes that are already in place for the side sections and into the sides of the Gauss Weapons. Then cut of the tabs and put a magnet in place of them on all the other side section bits, again as pictured below...
That's it, all done and ready to go...
Thanks for this... when I get round to building mine I will go this route.
