Exia, Exterminating the Plastic Shine

Exia was a little more complicated to Topcoat due to all the clear pieces. Nemo had the clear orange visor to take off, but that was minimal. Exia has those clear green circles on the legs, arms, head, and chest. Actually, they weren't that bad to remove. The "new material" strips (holographic plastic), however, I didn't even try to take out, since most are embedded well in the build of the kit. I tried to cover the arm loops with tape, but it didn't work out so well... Good thing the fogginess isn't too bad.

Aerial Pose Enabling Device

AKA Stand. Got a Celestial Being one, so I put an Exia on.

MG Exia Complete

Finally got all the decals on. Ugh, dry decalas are such a pain. I only messed majorly a couple of times and a lot of them are crooked. The stickers went surprisingly better, but also with a couple of hiccups. Learned something, use tweezers! It was a learning experience fo sho.

GN Shield + GN Blades

Exia Seven Sword mode complete. Now all there is to do is add all the decals. I bet I'll mess up the dry decals... ugh. Hopefully the sticker ones don't have too much excess bits either, or else I'll have to cut each one out individually.

GN Sword

Complete. I like very much.

Exia Build Complete

Finally got the last leg and hip unit built.

Just have to build the weapons and shield now. Then all the decals and such, fun fun fun.

I'll have a size comparison between the 3 MGs eventually. Exia seems to be in the middle.

MG Exia Progress

As you can see from the photos, Exia is one leg and one waist away from completion. Also need weapons and shield.
