Learn how to build the HG Loto Twin Set in both Mobile Suit and Tank modes. Step-by-step instructions with tips to avoid common mistakes.

Quick answer

Build the HG Loto Twin Set by assembling the core frame first, then choose between Mobile Suit mode for dynamic poses or Tank mode for compact display.

Why the Loto Twin Set is Unique

The HG Loto Twin Set includes two Loto units, letting you display both modes side by side or build a single diorama. The High Grade format offers good detail without the complexity of Real Grade kits.

Because the kit shares parts between modes, you'll need to decide on one mode per unit during assembly. Plan your display before cutting parts from the runner.

Building the HG Loto Twin Set: Step by Step

1. Prepare the Core Frame: Snap the main torso and leg frame for one Loto unit. This frame is shared between both modes. Do not attach the upper body armor yet. Common mistake: attaching tank treads before deciding the mode. Leave them off until step 3.
2. Choose Mobile Suit Mode: Attach the arms, head, and backpack. Pose the legs upright. The arms have a single elbow joint, so plan dynamic poses carefully. Checkpoint: ensure the backpack fits snugly; a loose connection can cause the mode to feel unbalanced.
3. Build Tank Mode for the Second Unit: Skip the arms and head. Attach the tank treads to the leg frame and fold the torso forward. Lock the cockpit hatch closed. Common mistake: forcing the treads onto the wrong side. The treads are directional; check the arrow marks on the runner.
4. Apply Decals and Panel Line: Use the included stickers or waterslides for the mono-eye and sensor details. Panel line with a fine-tip marker for depth. Empty
5. Display Both Modes Together: Place the Mobile Suit mode on an action base and the Tank mode on a flat surface. Use a diorama base for a cohesive scene. Empty
