This
model was built straight from the box,
with no modifications. Accessories included a rifle, a sword, a
shoulder bazooka, and a shield. There were two different
face plates available with the same helmet design.
The shield is designed to 'emanate' from a hexagonal emitter
which extends from his upper-left forearm.
The
bright green eyes and green head piece were painted Chrome
Silver on the reverse side of a transparent green plastic insert
inside the head.
The model was painted overall Flat White. The inner structure
and joints are Gunship Gray, Gloss Blue, Flat Yellow and Gloss
Red make up most of the other colors.
Most of the weathering was done with Flat Black and Silver dry brushing.
The two hip cannons actually rotate from their position around
F91's back and swing under his arms. The barrels extend forward,
and the triggers fold down.
This
is a composite photo done in Photoshop using the picture at the
top of the page and a photo I took of my hometown. It's not
totally convincing that the Gundam is there, but it's my first
such attempt of compositing with a non-space photo. What I
should have done was take another photo of F-91 with lighting to
match where the sun was in the background photo. This was just a
fun experiment, but I'm keen to make other attempts since I do
like how this turned out.
