Below are pictures of a Den'on Zon from the F-91 Gundam
movie. This was an older kit that came out when the movie was made back
in the late 80's early 90's. This meant tons of seams and some unfavorable
vinyl like parts. I recently came accross some prismatic paints from alclad
and decided to paint this guy using those colors. I had actually started
working on this guy a couple of years back, but ended up stopping for
some strange reason, inspiration left me I guess. I installed an LED into
the head and ran the wires down to the base where there is a switch and
battery assembly.
Update Information:
This kit has been completed, click here to see the
Den'on Zon progress page.
I took several pictures with varying exposure levels to
show the effect that would have on how the paint colors show up. I also
took some pictures without any direct background lighting to show off the
lit up eyes. All in all this was a fun little project, the kit is in 1/100
scale but the size of it is comparable with HGUC 1/144 kits. Reasons for
this is that the MS's later in the UC timeline were made smaller. Click
