RE: Scratch building a Tau Riptide. Really from scratch!
Yeah it is a pretty obvious idea I guess. We may have discussed it in my club, but I think I just assumed the magnets would be too weak to hold anything.
I used the telescoping J&S brass tubes for the actual joint connection. The magnet was just to hold it in.
Since this was back in the days of only metal figures.
I found my biggest problem was pieces being balanced around the pivot point. There just wasn't enough friction from the magnet to pose any piece that wasn't balanced.
