No, I already can buy some powerful magnets, I just need to know what the strengths are like.
And a central electromagnet wouldn't really work.

What you do is put all the lyrics you know into quotes and add the word lyrics at the end.
So for example, if I knew some words were "and that is why I eat HIV cereal!", I would google search: "and that is why I eat HIV cereal!" lyrics.

Eh, there's some good guys and some bad guys. You're all not really that bad (although there were a LOT of fat people when I went down to Cleveland).

In the name of the Emperor, bump these heretics!

Soooooo, does anyone want to help me?

I think it's great. I have a little iGoogle application that let's me see the tweets of the webcomic artists I follow. They usually put funny and interesting thing in them.

I hate bumping my own threads but it's off page one now.

Aaaand here's the last picture. I actually just though of this now. The door covers that the sponsons mount to are actually pretty solid just snuggled into their mounts (even more so once I add a layer or two of paint I'm sure) but it wouldn't hurt to stick a magnet on the backside and have it attract another magnet on the inside of the inner door (you can see the other one through the turret hole). This one would really depend on the magnet strength though because it would be going through almost a centimetre of air and plastic and holding the inner magnet with sheer pulling power (I wouldn't want the glue a magnet in the interior of the tank).

Here's the main turret. I need to have it shut nice and smugly so it holds the gun and I can swivel it in its hole on the hull. I have a bit more space here so I could probably get two or three sets of magnets in here.

That sounds like a cheesy 80's cartoon show doesn't it?

I was wondering if any of you guys would have an idea on the strength of the magnets I'm going to need for some of my Warhammer models. I'm putting together a Predator tank but I don't want to glue in into one configuration, I'd like to use the POWER OF MAGNETISM to switch out the different guns and sponsons.

The thing is that I'm kind of retarded when it comes to estimating the amount of pull force I think I'd need. Obviously I don't want the parts to fall off when jostled around a bit, but the magnets need to be as small as possible. So I'm not sure on how little pull force I can get away with.

Here are the different magnets I was thinking of ordering. The top is my first choice due to it being hilariously small and also rectangular.

Of course, the smaller one is better for the modelling, but less powerful. The biggest one (here) is also kind of pushing my space limit for the innards of the sponsons. Again, I just don't really know how strong a 1.06 lbs "pull force" is.

So yeah, any help or advice would be great.
Here are some pictures of my tank, she's not finished so please don't rag on the paint job right now.
This first one I have the sponson (IT'S A FUCKING WORD FIREFOX NOW STFU) open. I've got about 5mm of a clear space on both sides leaving 1mm for clearance for two magnets to stick the sides together onto the pole.

We have two months of this, and the lake is closed after nine. And hiking in the pitch black is a sure way to get lost.

Heyo, some friends and I are working together at a camp and we all have Left4Dead and want to play together but we obviously don't have any internet connections.

So what do we need to do to set up some sort of playable LAN with our laptops?

God fucking damned greedy corporations. My father just got a letter from Cogeco stating that from now on, anyone who goes over their plan's combined upload/download limit will have to pay AT LEAST 1.00$ per GB (my plan requires 1.50$). You know what this means? Since I'm stuck at 60GB per month, I can no longer browse youtube, play online games, download a reasonable amount of informational books/videos, or even surf the web as much as I used too.

This is disgusting, we already pay over 55$ for internet, over $660 PER YEAR! Why the hell should we be limited to a service that most certainly does not cost over a dollar per GB?

I'm going to be talking to my dad about switching ISPs, anyone know a good one? One that isn't likely to pull this dick move?

Did you know they're a laxative? I didn't! HOORAH!
Two fucking pounds of them too.
