The funny thing is I'm not using a flash and I'm using a

Here's a new good picture of Zero Three with exactly the same
lighting:

compared to the murky badness of:

I'll try bouncing light off some white posterboard
onto the model to get rid of the reflections while increasing
the intensity. That's a professional photographic technique.
P.S. Hey, Borislav is back! Lured by the scent of new Gundams
(smells like ozone and burning joint grease).
