Operating and Posing
The Eva-02 Production Model 03 features multiple points of articulation for dynamic posing. Observe the following guidelines:
- Joint Movement: Gently test the range of motion for each joint (neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles) before attempting extreme poses.
- Articulation Points: The figure is designed with specific articulation points. Avoid bending parts that are not intended to move, as this can cause breakage.
- Stability: When posing, ensure the figure is balanced to prevent it from falling, which could lead to damage.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the figure, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth (water only) can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Dust Prevention: Store the figure in a display case or a clean, dust-free environment to minimize dust accumulation.
- Joint Care: If joints become stiff, gently warm the area with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds to soften the plastic, then carefully move the joint. Do not overheat.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parts difficult to attach/detach | Tight joint tolerances or cold plastic. | Gently warm the part with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds to increase flexibility. |
| Figure unstable when posed | Improper weight distribution or loose joints. | Adjust the pose to find a stable center of gravity. Ensure all joints are fully engaged. |
| Paint transfer or scuffs | Friction between parts or contact with abrasive surfaces. | Avoid rubbing painted surfaces together. Minor scuffs may be carefully touched up by experienced modelers. |
