Stormwall Magnetizing

One thing that seems to make storage and transport of huge figures easier to move is magnetizing.  I like to magnetize the waist and the feet at a minimum so the piece can be taken apart and stored.

Here's a pic of my StormWall in pieces that made him manageable to paint and store.


What you can't see is that the base is also magnetized.  When the Stormwall does get killed, I can put away the model in its foam and leave the base right on the table where it was destroyed.  No extra wreck marker needed and the template left in place LOOKS GOOD.  Here's a pic of the Stormwall and the base.
The real benefit is that the model now stores in a much smaller foam footprint that fits inside my existing case.  No need for a custom foam or additional foam outside my case special for the colossal.
