The Versatile Sabre Strike Tank

 It takes me a long time to paint anything, so I figure if I am only going to ever have a limited number of models, then I may as well make the most of what I have by making them as versatile and multi-purpose as possible. So I spent the last few days building and magnetizing these two Sabres with the full spectrum of three main guns (and associated ammo/energy packs on the hull) as well as the four secondary hull-mounted weapons and the optional Sabre missiles. I mounted 22 magnets so far (I don't really see a need to magnetize the ammo boxes since they sit in a nice slot and won't fall off unless tipped), and I only glued one magnet in upside down (requiring some knife work to dig it out and re-set it in the proper orientation).
