I wanted the turret to be able to sit on the rear of the APC when it wasn't in combat, like in Aliens. I drilled a new hole for the turret plug with a 9/64" drill bit, and then used a 3mm drill bit to make a hold for the magnet. This was my first time drilling resin, and I was very happy with how easy it was to drill into the stuff.
I magnetized the top as well, along with the smaller turret in the front so that it could rotate.

Excellent idea and execution. This one is the Khurasan model, isn't it? |

Thanks! Aye, it's a Khurasan model. |

If you were hard core, you'd magnetize the turret and put a strip of metal down the length of the track. Thus allowing the turret to slide up and over :) |
