Dragon Warriors Daemon Prince #2

First off I'm sorry I got distracted while working on the Plastic Daemon Prince and watching a movie at the same time. So I glued the torso together before taking a picture, but let me tell you it is super simple to magnetize the wings on your plastic daemon prince models. I used an 1/16" drill bit and drilled into the socket the wing base studs go into on the back of the torso. Then from the inside of the torso piece I used a 1/8" drill bit to drill out for my magnet, which there really is not a lot of plastic right there either. So I decided to add 3d Finish Nails as pins into the stubs on the wing bases. This added more length to the studs so the magnets would actually rest inside the torso on the surface of the plastic for the most part. I Super Glued the magnets down with the wings inserted into the torso so that the pins held the magnets in place til the glue dried. The wings hold in very well with the 1/8" dia. x 1/32" magnets and the Finish Nail pins, I'm able to hold the model with the wings towards the floor and shake it without the wings falling off.

The arms were a little more complicated then I expected, but I finally came up with a plan of attack. For the DDP's left arm there is a good socket that the arms go into, so that was simple to figure out. Drill the pilot hole so that it is in the center of this socket, then use the 1/8" drill bit for the final holes. Glue the magnets in place so that they are just inside the plastic, this gave me an decent bond for the arm. I then glued the shoulder pad on with just a little bit of plastic glue at the very bottom of the pad, this way it wouldn't glue the arm to the torso. For the right side that was a little more challenging then the left side, but I finally seen who to go at it. There is a flat area where the arm & torso join on the right side at the top of the joint, I was able to drill the holes and place the magnets in that area. Again it's not as good of a hold as the wing magnets, but the arms stay on unless you get rough with the model. Then all you have to do is put the arm back on if you pull it off.

So that was it for now on the plastic & metal Dragon Daemon Princes, I've got more GS work to do to both of them. But I think that will have to wait till after the Geek Nation Tour in September. More pictures of this and the other Daemon Prince can be found on my Photobucket Album for them, see link in first post or on the side bar for the recent uploads link.
