Workshop Notes for the MG 1/100 Saviour Gundam

The MG 1/100 Saviour Gundam presents a hands-on build with finely engineered parts and a practical transformation sequence.

Builders will notice careful part separation and engineering that reward methodical assembly.

Motion and Mode Change

This Saviour Gundam is known for smooth articulation and a reliable transform function. Its joint layout supports controlled conversion between mobile suit and flight configuration, while the shoulder assemblies lock into robust poses for action-based displays. The overall articulation gives a wide working range for dynamic setups.

Expect a moderate build complexity, aimed at those familiar with MG kits. Recommended tools include side cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks, and tweezers to ensure clean part removal and accurate fitting.

Finishing Tips and Paint Prep

To raise the kit's realism, apply light sanding, panel lining, and decals. A clear topcoat will protect paintwork and decals while producing a consistent finish for display.

The MG 1/100 Saviour Gundam is a satisfying project for hobbyists who enjoy a technical build with rewarding transformation and pose options.
