Hey all, been a while. Quick job from Bones 4. Added a saddle, threw on a Mantic Soul Reaver cavalry rider with a head swap from Puppetswar.

Yeah, I suppose I was thinking of backfilling with scrap foam, and just making the cap/connection point out of putty.

So - removing the legs and magnetizing. I had a thought that this probably wouldn't work when I saw how hollow the legs are, but now I have an idea I'd like some feedback on: Maybe cut the legs, fill with GS/other sculpting medium, push magnet in place, left that whole side dry. After that side cures you attach the magnet, fill the other side with medium and push the hardened side into the uncured side to force the uncured side to conform to the cured, then detach and let dry. That should also make an impression for the second magnet. What do you guys think?

They showed how they cut off the legs on Reaper Live, basically heat em up (boiling water) and they cut really easy with an exacto. I don't think they are a good candidate for magnetizing though. That was originally my plan but they appear to be very hollow, which means you would have to create the seat for the magnets yourself and get everything flush on both sides, which would be difficult. I have an idea how it might work, though. Maybe cut the legs, fill with GS/other sculpting medium, push magnet in place, left that whole side dry. After that side cures you attach the magnet, fill the other side with medium and push the hardened side into the uncured side to force the uncured side to conform to the cured, then detach and let dry. That should also make an impression for the second magnet. Think I'll post this in the current hut discussion to kick the tires on the idea.

Did Reaper do a video on detaching the legs yet?

A Darby O'Gill's banshee before that.

Huh. Mine didn't make it here yet. Stuck in Nashville since 3:49 am. I kinda expected them to make it in today, and then just sit in Cbus until Tuesday. Oh well, it will get here Tuesday most likely.

Is the crackle paint a clear coat over a paint job, or crackle, then paint job?

Today, tomorrow, Monday, or Tuesday.

It's a cool sculpt, I like it a lot, but it's too big for the war games I use my minis for. That was a lot of the reason my order was so light this time. Most everything was just too big to be useful for my needs.

Lock in 9/10 @ 3:26pm Eastern. Shipping notification received. 11.3 lbs, I went light this time.

So if we have the shipment going to our work, do we just add our work address to UPS My Choice? Will we still get notifications? I didn't have it added before...

What time did it open? I locked in at 3:46 pm Eastern.

Thanks for clarifying, I thought you were messing with us. Sounds like you are part of the test batch! Tracker not working though...

Matt updated the response at my urging, I think. I recommended it because of the disconnect with the ep26 info. He also said they are still setting up the inventory.
