Tank Weight

The idea is to do both.  I'm working on very low scale rules, based loosely on Advanced Squad Leader, and want the turrets to move independently in order to make tank battles more realistic.  The storage thing is tricky: my 2 mm N48 magnets only can hold about 30 g.  And I want to avoid having to drill 4 holes per tank if 2 will do the trick.  The turret thing is a no brainer though: the 2 mm magnet does the job just fine, and if you make sure you have magnets that are magnetized over thickness they can remain in any position, or you can go for axis polarisation and have 4 or 8 fixed positions, I'm trying both atm.

Go on then Leon, you know you want some for your MiniBits... You can always create some demand using sly marketing techniques, like selling pre-packaged 'DeLuxe' AFV's with revolving turrets...

I'd be tempted, but I need to fill in some more popular areas first, before buying 10000 magnets!

Thanks for that info, pleased to see at least some forum members resort to scientific methods to determine important facts!
