an attractive prospect...

Chieftains Lodge- fixing the doors 

So after attempting to hold the front door and rear wall on with some magnetic tape I went in search of some steel washers as i have had better success with this in the past what I found were some VERY powerful small magnets while exploring Clas Olsen in town this is how the first side turned out.

adding the milliput for my fist attempt paid off as it gave me an extra thick surface to drill into to sink the magnets I had to use a lot of super glue and milliput as these magnets were so strong the could attract through an inch worth of table as you can see things got a bit messy  

on the door itself i had to drill into the resin and wanted to get the two faces of the magnets to be as flush as  possible 

after leaving the milliput to dry SUCCESS and the magnets dont try to pull away from the glue either
it wont fall off during play now  

here is a shot from the side showing how much milliput I had to add to get the magnet to stay in place
I have yet to add more to try and hide the magnets completely  but i am please with how it came out 

this side was a bit more tricky as the wall was slightly miss cat and I only had half the surface to attach the magnet compared with the other side but milliput to the rescue again 

and here are the magnets I used a bit pricey at about £5 but worth it i had to buy another packet for the other side but i am glad i did the rear first so the front should turn out even better

So there we have it one end of the lodge magnetised, i have been looking at the roof and am still struggling to see how I will fit it all together but where there's a will (and a lot of milliput) there's a way
