Hi! I have a question regarding of MG Gundam Exia reg ver. and I’m currently building it, and I have a problem on it’s hatch, it won’t stay closed, can you suggest something so that I can solve this matter? Thank you.
As I don’t have the model itself and not exactly sure what the reg ver. is, I’ve looked at the instruction manual for the MG Exia Repair and my guess is that maybe the innerframe part of the cockpit hatch isn’t “clicked” in all the way. In the manual it states that you should get a sound when it clicks into place.

I know that Samuel can print “custom” decals for you. So, if you have an opportunity to scan the sticker sheet you can send that file to Samuel and he can print it for you
I cut down a bamboo skewer or toothpick to a fine point then use that to paint details (I use humbrol enamels but any paint would work). This works well for 1/100 and 1/60 but is a little rough for a 1/144 figure.
I myself use a very small brush. I first paint the lowest detail on the figure and the work my way up. For example, if the pilot wears a jacket over a t-shirt, I first start with the t-shirt, then the jacket. When doing the jacket, hold the stem of the brush perpendicular to the edge of the jacket.

MG Age-1 Custom Football GUndam aka: MG Tyler
Designed after my little big brother’s football team.
I cut and sanded the spoiler and added custom thrusters(Pen Caps) Glow in the Dark Paint etc.. Nail Polish Paint was used. Primer and Nail polish was mixed and then airbrushed directly onto bare plastic and it worked legit.
Just a bit of advice. Try not to leave them so close to a lamp(mainly talking about the Sazabi). The heat that comes off of the bulb can warp the plastic over time, and trust me, the lamp shade doesn’t prevent this from happening(sadly enough).
This is probably my favorite post I’ve seen. GP01 Zephyranthes is my favorite mobile suit, and to see this amount of detail is a so great! I can’t wait to obtain the skill to do something like this to one of my own builds
