I'm currently trying to build the RG Exia Repair kit right now but this box has me puzzling.






Well, basically I'm not exactly sure what to do. This is the first time that I'm working on a modification kit.

It's basically that black box text there. It has the numbers of the instruction set which I assume are from the main RG Exia kit.

Is it basically telling me to "skip" those parts of the main text as I'm building my RG Exia or is it telling me to "reverse" the things I'm done on those steps. Considering the nightmare of a time I had on building the RG Exia....well I'm trying to avoid the same pitfalls especially since this is more limited in supply and way more expensive (relative to the amount of material you're actually getting)


I have a spare RG Exia kit anyways (specifically for the purpose of having an RG Exia Repair), so I'm fine building from scratch or modifying my existing one. But regardless I want to get this right so I'm trying to be as careful as I can here since.

I can understand the pictures mostly fine but I get the feeling that instructions are telling me something important before I'm supposed to proceed to the picture section so I'm trying to be as careful as I proceed, hence the thread. Anybody worked on a modification kit before?

So, I did a bit of panel lining tonight.

This is the GM Command Space Type, which was the 2nd kit I built. Back then, I still sanded down parts and shit... also the stains are from humidity. tl;dr, flat coat ASAP your white MS. I don't seem to have this issue with my Stark or ECOAS though...

Verdict: Stick to Gundam panel lining marker, folks. I found that the inkflow was not as consistent, and could be irregular at times, whereas inflow on my gundam marker was steady and constant.

Also I've been trying out my Tamiya files. OH MY GOD. WHAT KIND OF TAMIYA SOURCERY IS THIS?! I just rub rub rub and the nub is FUCKING GONE. So fucking worth it. Very much looking forward to using all my toys on my MG Jesta next year.

Also MG Jesta + Red LED = EXAM Jesta. This is now my headcanon.

it looks like in the runners the Rozen Zulu still almost comes with pieces to possibly give it right arm.

It's basically telling you to follow the original manual and make changes on some steps where it is needed. Example, once you reach step 01-2, refer to the exia repair manual to make the appropriate changes.

I have this kit as well. It's not that hard to understand how to build it really.

I've got a question. Aside from coming from the original RG kit, was exactly does the "faded" parts means? Because from what I can see, you're supposed to omit them sometimes, like in 01-4 but in some parts like Section 9, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use them in the construction of the GN Sword.
