I've seen YouTube videos where someone is going crazy magnetizing each and every single thing you would normally glue onto your model. That is not what I am doing. Arms and legs will be glued in and the only parts that will be magnetized are turrets, torsos, and dropship connections. I am however wondering about the dropship connections now, at least with tracked PHR vehicles. When placing two Juno IFVs into a Neptune there is no room to place the flight stand. This is just a bit disappointing for me since I wanted my entire army to be carryable. I'm going to have to find a solution for this but havn't got the foggiest clue what to do at this point.
I'm starting a pilot paint scheme with the Menchit I have constructed. Primed in Khaki for a nice neutral not too light but not too dark base. I think I want my guys to be red but I'm not sure on that either. I'll be taking pics as I paint him up.
On that note make sure you check your models over and over and over again. I'm usng white light to model by and with the white resin it can be difficult to see imperfections in your model. As you can see on the right side (its left side) of this Menchit there are quite a few imperfections that I missed when filing/sanding.
My only other beef so far is that sticky tack will not hold to this resin. To spray the primer on I had to don a latex glove and hold the model. Can't just leave the parts sitting there because the spray paint will blow them away. I am thinking about getting some needles with those balls on the end. Stab the needle into the foot and that will give me a nice amount of material to hold onto during priming.
