Magnets for miniatures are useful modelling accessories that allow hobbyists to swap parts or securely attach models during transport. They are commonly used in miniature painting, wargaming and scale modelling to make weapons, bases or model components interchangeable. In this category at Scenery Workshop you will find different types of magnets suitable for miniature basing and modelling projects.

What are magnets for miniatures?

Magnets used in modelling are small but powerful components designed to hold miniature parts or terrain pieces in place. They are often embedded in models or bases so that components remain secure while still being removable.

Many hobbyists use neodymium magnets because they offer strong magnetic force while remaining compact in size. This makes them ideal for small-scale miniatures and models.

At Scenery Workshop magnets are commonly used by miniature painters, wargamers and scale modellers who want to make their models more modular and flexible.

Why hobbyists use magnets

Magnets allow parts to be swapped or models to be transported safely without damaging delicate components.

• Interchangeable weapons and parts
• Convenient for miniature transport
• Ideal for modular models
• Suitable for bases and terrain
• Compact and powerful

Many wargamers use magnets to swap weapon loadouts on miniatures or to secure models inside transport cases.

How to use magnets for miniatures or scale models

Magnets are usually inserted into a small hole drilled into the model or base. A hand drill is often used to create a hole that fits the magnet precisely.

The magnet is then secured using super glue or epoxy. By pairing two magnets or combining a magnet with a metal surface, parts can be firmly attached while remaining removable.

What to consider when choosing magnets

When selecting modelling magnets, size and strength are important factors.

• Small magnets – for weapons and small parts
• Medium magnets – for bases or larger components
• Neodymium magnets – for strong magnetic force
• Correct thickness – to fit the model structure

Many hobbyists use different magnet sizes depending on the application. At Scenery Workshop you can find various magnets for miniatures suitable for miniature painting, terrain building and modelling projects.

Frequently asked questions about magnets for miniatures

Which magnets are commonly used for miniatures?

Neodymium magnets are most commonly used because they are small but very strong.

How do you install magnets in a model?

A small hole is usually drilled into the model, and the magnet is secured with super glue.

Can magnets help with transporting miniatures?

Yes. Many hobbyists place magnets in miniature bases so they can attach to metal transport trays.

At Scenery Workshop you can find a range of magnets for miniatures that help create modular models and secure transport solutions.
