Instead of little paper pegs to attach the saucer why not have magnets under the paper?

Thats a REAL GOOD thought!

Well for one, magnets cost money, and second, based on the weights of both parts, you'd need very strong magnets, so strong that I have my doubts they would fit in the parts of the model they need to go in.

Besides that, I think I remember someone else trying it with either Jay's Galaxy or Prometheus, and it not working very well.

Maybe if you get some rare earth magnets. I had an old computer case with a magnetic door on on it, but the magnets were not attached well. they were only 6 or 7 millimeters across and could hold up a full five sheets of card stock on my fridge.

i used magnets on my long range shuttles for my build of Rawens big enterprise

I think rare earth magnets would work pretty well they are very strong

You can get rare earth magnets from old computer Harddrives
I used one that I broke when I built U-Dons LEM. They break
easy, but be careful of the crome plating it can cut you when
you break it.

Rare-earth magnets are the ticket. Round 2 and Pegasus Hobbies both issue RE magnets for their plastic kits which are so strong that they can hold together separable sections in certain of their kits. A paper kit would be no trouble to magnetize. The Radio Shack here in town had a massive clearance on their components, and I snagged a massive helping of magnets. I'll be using them on my model of the "D".
