Building Prowess: Magnetizing Wings

A few weeks ago, Jwolf asked me to magnetize his demon prince who was having some bad wing issues. One of his wings had broken completely off and he was looking for an easier way to transport him. I of course agreed, I like a good challenge (not that I thought it would be too hard).

The break was not really super clean so I grinded it down a bit on both sides with my dremel. Because it was a fully painted model, I really had to take my time to be sure it would rejoin cleanly. I decided early to extend the wingspan slightly with the magnets and repair the spaces using green stuff. I tried 4 magnets on each side at first, but it wasn't quite powerful enough so I added two more.
Once the magnets were on and the fit was good, I mixed some green stuff and wrapped it around the joint. I wanted to create something of a socket on the wings that would overlap where they connected to the body.
Once the putty set I sanded it to smooth it out, then did my best to match the paintjob Jwolf had used. I'm happy with the outcome.
Wolf is very happy he doesn't have to deal with re-gluing it or trying to find a way to transport it.
