Offering wisdom, sage advice, and a variety of items that I hope you'll find useful.
With the price of rare earth minerals continuing to climb, this seemed like an opportune time to offer a smaller version of my Starter Kit. The new Mini Starter Kit contains a selection of 48 magnets, a pair of drill bits, and a set of my "Helper" tools for just $12.
There has been a problem going back to last summer with orders not being fulfilled and enquiries going unanswered. This has been largely due to the fact that my job has meant I have had to rely on part-time help, and without supervision, that really hasn't worked satisfactorily.
If you have experienced an issue which has not been resolved to your complete satisfaction, please contact me.
Unfortunately, the price of rare earth metals continues to rise, and prices are subject to change without notice.
Kits: I offer an expanding range of kits that will enable you to magnetize your models. This is useful when there are, for example, various optional weapons. Also handy for things like flying bases, which tend to fall off when you pick up the model, or break if you glue them in place.
Since I started magnetizing my own models, I've seen a number of tutorials out there, usually along the lines of "How to magnetize a Predator using a giant tube of 200 identical magnets". I think it's possible to do things with a little more finesse when you can use different sized magnets appropriate to the task without having to buy a hundred or more of each size.
A number of the kits also include custom acrylic, aluminium, brass or steel parts, which saves you from having to go all MacGyver with bits of sprue and huge blobs of green stuff to hold things together.
NEW! The new Tactical Squad and Melta Kits are out now!
Other recent releases: Assault Marines, Terminators, Close Combat Terminators, Rhino, Razorback and Predator Magnetizing Kits are available now. Also Large Flying Base, Eldar War Walker, Falcon, and Wave Serpent, and Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuit.
Other Stuff: You'll also find useful things like a pin vise and drill bits in the Tools & Miscellaneous Items section.
Need Help? Obviously, I'll be happy to help if you're having trouble with a kit, lose a part, or mess something up! I'm open to requests for new kits and I'm also quite happy to undertake commission work, if you have a model that needs magnetizing, especially if it's one I don't already offer as a kit.
Motivation: I'm not expecting to make a fortune out of this, in fact, I'll be happy if it breaks even. This has become an extension of the hobby for me, with most of the items offered here inspired by my own needs as a player. Of course, I'm open to suggestions, so feel free to email me.
Several people have asked me about this and it seems like it would be worthwhile. I figured I would include special offers, previews and even "beta test" kits. Click here to subscribe.

However, certain items such as the very smallest magnets are of such small weight and volume that they will ship for $1.
