Thank you again for all the comments and kind words in my previous Storm Raven posting. I wanted to post some pictures of a commission conversion that I am doing. My client wanted to have a weapon swappable option for when he is facing armor and massed infantry. I used 1/8" circumference by 1/16" rare earth magnets. eBay sellers sell these in sets of 100 for $12. Very handy since you can use a 1/8" drill bit to drill into plastic models. Anyway here are the latest pics:

All laid out, the parts that can be removed for easy transport.

Ork problem solved with this configuration

Here are the location of the magnets. I had to move the original weapon location to make room for the Hurricane bolters. Anyway I'm hoping to post a painted one sometime in the future, the one that I have is for a client and he wants to paint it on his own army scheme.
