Fun with magnets - Leman Russ

With the Hydras off the table I'm back on the Leman Russ, and questioning whether I went a bit overboard on the magnetizing. The kit is a Demolisher so has options for a siege cannon or gatling cannon with an ammo compartment, or a plasma cannon with a energy coil. Magnetizing these and the hull weapon options is straightforward and allows for easy load out.

The Leman Russ has an option for side sponsons, and I used magnets inside the track space and in the sponsons so these could also be swapped out. 

The only problem is going to be matching the camouflage. I've tried to mark on the sponson the points that the wavy camouflage line starts and ends, and then add masking of about the same shape as the pattern on the hull.

After spraying a few coats of buff on the top part of the sponson, and removing the masking tape and putty it looks as though this will work. Next steps adding the silver grey line and then on to weathering.
