As Napoleon can attest.

You do call it Jai in conversation? Tell me you don't always say the full name!
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Must admit I can spend hours in Spotlight and also Pete's Emporium in Porirua... always something handy for wargaming purposes.

12mm or 25mm diameters avalable).  They stick very nicely into metal drawers/trays for storage, and a metal toolbox for transportation.

I usually peel the adhesive layer off, then superglue the figure on for a better fix.

Those look handy, how thick are they?

Checked last night and the 12mm disks are 1mm. 

Couldn't find any of the 25mm ones, but I think they are probably punched from the same material.

Checked back through my posts for a picture of the disks in action and this one is the clearest:

Cool my 6mm project used 10 and 15mm magnets but I need something bigger for terrain

The disks are made from the same material you can get in sheets/rolls.  I've tended to use rare-earth magnets if I need anything more substantial to stick, but a few of these would probably do the trick.

12mm is 1mm?

Is this some kind of Zen?

It's 6mm scale one per piece should work  :D
