OK, i\'m making a tank.
Very much along the lines of Athamas\' from Warseer:

I\'ve ended up with a lot of questions. But i think i\'ll bring them to you one at a time.
My first one will simply be:
How would you suggest i get rid of the joins between the side and top armour? You can see it clearly on Athamas\'.
I\'m realising tanks are incredibly annoying to do - so very many faults to correct, and irritating places that the mould lines need to be removed from (we\'ll see how far i get with some of them...).
Oh, ok, i guess another question wouldn\'t be amiss:
What size magnets should i go with? I think the smallest i\'ve found so far are 1.5 x 0.75 mm, though i\'d go larger than that if that\'s better. But i can\'t interpret the Gauss measurements or whatever, so i wouldn\'t mind knowing what sort of hold i can get.
Ideally i want magnets that will prevent the things attached to them swivelling, since i intend to use them to hold the weapon on the predator turret (one on each side of the mounting, so 4 overall) if i can.
And since we\'re talking ideal, i guess knowing whether the same size would also be appropriate for fake piercings... (got some people to worry)
If nothing else, someone mentioned an article about using them, but i can\'t find it and the search doesn\'t appear to work.
Right, more questions will follow. This is going to be a long process... Thanks.
