MG Virgin

Right so soon I'll be getting my hands on the MG Ignition Exia and it will be my first mg and I want to make sure I do a good job and I was kind of hoping I could get some pointers and tips from experienced Gunpla builders. Such as should i spray all the frames with a basic coat colour then paint over in the proper colours what is the best way to remove the plastic nub marks after they have been cut out of the plastic frame.It would be much appreciated since I intend to take my time building the Mg Exia.










i think the first hit you get when you google for "gundam tutorials" is Danny's guide to building kits.

also this guide here is pretty helpful: http://www.perfectdesignsense.com/martinwandering/various/howto/howto.html
