Like the one below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Shoulder\nof first model then arm of first model<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Use the\narm of the first model to check against the shoulder of the second model<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Use the\nshoulder of the first model with the arm of second model<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Follow this sequence for all models so that the polarity remains the same for every model in the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.first4magnets.com\/magnets4-the-crafter-t307\">SHOP CRAFTING MAGNETS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.first4magnets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Poke-the-Bear-Image-700x933.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4509\" style=\"width:400px;height:450px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Magnets for Transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">One reason for the use of magnets in Warhammer is to help\ntransport your collection, collectors can ensure their figures will be safe\nwhen travelling and can be quickly and easily packed without the need for unnecessary\npackaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This is achieved by adding a magnet to the base of each\nfigure so that they will attract to the flexible magnetic sheet which can be\nused as the base in the box which the figures are carried in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Des used our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.first4magnets.com\/circular-disc-rod-c34\/10mm-dia-x-2mm-thick-n42-neodymium-magnet-1-44kg-pull-p3634#ps_0_3788|ps_1_2553\">10mm dia x 2mm thick N42 Neodymium Magnets (1.44kg Pull) <\/a>and one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.first4magnets.com\/ferroflex\" title=\"\">FerroFlex sheets<\/a> to magnetise his collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You can see Des\u2019s step-by-step tutorial below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Step One<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Dry test your magnets, to ensure it fits and is the correct height to be flush with the bottom of the base.
