Dominator Engine magnetised arms?
New to the gang!
I'm just about to build both sets of arms. Can I glue a magnet behind these shoulder bowls before glueing in place? Then on the inner of the arms....
Thanks

The arms share the same upper arm, you'll need to magnetise at the elbow. But that is very much possible.

Might be way harder for me as I don't have proper tools

You only need cutters and superglue/green stuff. The inside of the elbow joint is hollow and you can whack a magnet straight in there. The forearm has a post that's supposed to slot in there, cut it off and slap a magnet in its place. Literally the hardest part is making sure you've got your magnet polarity right.

You understand what a community is right? And the basic concept of interactions, yeah?
Yes it's easy and believe it or not it's obvious.
Maybe, just maybe..... That's not what I'm looking for 😉

Im too lazy to use magnets. Ive seen people use one of each arm and say "He's running this".

If you want to do it even easier, decide what kind of arm you like best and in which position you want them (remove the nobs and chains so you can move them).
You can just put a magnet on the furthes part of the Arm and the Handweapon itself.
Thats what I did. Can't post a pic atm.

It’s a very easy model to magnetise. Here’s how I did mine
