Blokees Saint Seiya Champion Class Model Kit: Gold Saint Guide

Quick answer

To build a Blokees Saint Seiya Champion Class Gold Saint, work in this order: prepare your tools, separate and inspect runners, assemble the inner body, build the armor, attach armor to the figure, then pose and display. Check joint fit at each stage before adding armor, because the gold plating shows handling marks.

Step-by-step Champion Class assembly

1. Prepare a clean, well-lit workspace: Clear a flat surface and set out nippers, a hobby knife, and a soft cloth. Keep small parts in a tray so armor pieces do not roll away. Common mistake: building on a cluttered desk where a gold piece can fall and get scratched. A light-colored tray makes small gold parts easier to see.
2. Separate runners and inspect parts: Lay out the runners and compare them to the manual before cutting anything. Check for short shots or excess flash on joint pins. Common mistake: cutting parts free in advance, which makes it harder to identify them later. Leave parts on the runner until the manual calls for them.
3. Cut and clean nub marks: Use nippers to cut slightly away from the part, then trim the remaining nub with a hobby knife. On gold-plated pieces, shave in thin layers rather than pressing hard. Common mistake: twisting parts off the runner, which tears the surface. Clean nubs before assembly, not after the figure is together.
4. Assemble the inner body first: Build the torso, arms, and legs without armor. Test each joint through its range and note any stiffness. Common mistake: forcing a stiff joint; work it gently instead of pushing past resistance. If a joint feels tight, loosen it before adding armor weight.
5. Build the armor sub-assemblies: Follow the manual to assemble chest, shoulder, and leg armor as separate units. Keep left and right pieces paired. Common mistake: mixing mirrored parts, which becomes obvious only when attaching to the body. Dry-fit each armor unit on the body before final attachment.
6. Attach armor from the core outward: Seat the torso armor first, then shoulders, then limbs. Support the figure by the inner body when pressing pieces on. Common mistake: attaching limb armor first, which limits access to the torso connections. Listen for a soft click or flush fit; if it does not seat, recheck orientation.
7. Pose with clearance in mind: Set the pose after all armor is attached. For Sagittarius Aiolos, leave room for the energy effect and arrow. Common mistake: posing the arms before shoulder armor is secure, which can pop a pauldron loose. Pose the head and arms last, after the body is stable.
