Is there a good way to open the hatches on the robots without destroying them? I have tons of nice commander and crew models and I would like to put them coming out of the hatches. I have seen a lot of the pictures of models with open hatches and I didn't know if there was some ort of trick to getting them open.

Thanks again!

The allied ones you just need to tap at the hatch from the underside with a nail or similar. The German ones can be opened by inserting the point of a sharp STRONG knife into the top edge of the hatch and give a little twist. It should just ping of but depends on how mutch glue they used to stick it down.

Thanks Major Mishap. I will try this and see what comes of it! I will have pics when I get the painted robots done.

You were right about using a sturdy knife. Popped them like a charm! Thanks!

Great info, thanks.

Credit where credits due, the idea to open the allied walkers is from Arkangle's blog.
