Field testing and mockup results: One REM and a small washer is a weak connection--to securely hold a ship requires either 3-4 washers and magnets, or a magnet on each side at each attachment point.

Interesting findings DB. So either way it looks like a four magnet job!
Rob.
The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Yeah. Using double-layer magnets raises the ship a litte above the outer lip, while the washers bring it right about to lip height. Once I get one glued together, I'm gonna see about taping four washers to San Josef's bottom and see if "strength in numbers" is sufficient or if I'm gonna have to do it the expensive way.Originally Posted by Bligh
Still trying to decide whether my best option for blackening washers is break out the Sharpie paint-marker or see if my gunsmith can slip 'em into the tank next time he has a Parkerizing job come up...
