A few years ago I made Excalibur out of balsa wood and magnetic tape. She was used to hold washer-based figures for prepping with spray undercoat in a rotisserie style, as it really helps the spray reach all the nooks and crannies.
Unfortunately, I broke her by ill-advisedly using her to beat the dust out of a carpet...
With the Analogue Challenge IX approaching, I'm in full prep mode again (I hate prepping). I visited my local hardware store and got some self-adhesive magnetic tape and a metre of wood. I also got a steel post for use with figures with magnets under their bases.
I thus present Narsil and Andúril!

I've kept the tape central on Narsil, so that I can hold it at either end and get the spray where I need it.
Cue goosebumps:
Nice,Im afraid mine are nameless lumps of wood to be tapped,sprayed and cast into a corner until needed again!

Probably less dangerous to myself than a real sword.
DeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI think I first saw it in an old White Dwarf...
DeleteThat's a great set of gadgets mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Millsy!
DeleteHaha. In the first photo initially thought you had fashioned some interesting fantasy guard for Anduril! Why would he make a guard for a painting aid and why put it so far down? were the thoughts that jumped into my head!
ReplyDeleteThen I saw the second photo and it all made sense.
Useful but not exciting!
