CoC - Walkers

Well as I alluded to in my last post, this post will be about the walker heavy kit and how I ended up magnetizing them.  First, however, lets see just exactly what it is that we get in that box...

Quite a lot of pieces just like we can come to expect from CoC models.

As with plastics in general the pieces go together nicely and easily.  That is once you actually clean off all the extra flashing and mold lines that litter the pieces in varying degrees.  Though once you are done with that and ready for assembly you may want to take a second and orientate yourself among all the arm pieces since magnetizing the vector wont be a simple form of magnetizing the shoulders or elbows and your done.  Well, okay it will be for the left arm since each arm can be easily changed at the elbow as you will see in the pic below.

So what I did here was just glue the shoulder piece to the main body, the elbow joint to the shoulder piece and then put 3mm magnets into the elbow joint and the interchangeable weapons.

Now the right arm will be a little bit more difficult than the left due to the Monitor's arm having a completely separate shoulder piece unto itself.  So what I did here was that I put a 3mm magnet into the main body and the two shoulder pieces so that the two shoulder options can be switched.  Then I also put a smaller 2mm magnet into the shoulder piece where the elbow goes.  While, I put another 2mm magnet on the Inverter and Cipher arms (after gluing on the elbow to the Cipher arm seeing as the Inverter arm already comes with an attached elbow).

Hopefully the picture makes that a bit more clear and straightforward.

So that was my solution to the little problem that the right arm posed with its different meet points.  Hopefully, the hover vectors wont have such problems and they will have a more straightforward magnetizing process.  Unfortunately, I still haven't received mine so I can't say for certain but after seeing other people's pics online, along with the originals on the PP website, it looks like all the arms can be magnetized at the elbows, which, hopefully is indeed the case since that would simplify things quite a bit.

Well that's it for this post.  Stay tuned for whatever may come next :P.
