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

Hmmm... Maybe you are right about the vertical plates being more reflective.


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.

Hopefully this will fix up the images. Good luck!


P.S. Hey, Borislav is back! Lured by the scent of new Gundams

WARNING:

The typical mecha smell, while especially pleasing to male subjects, is
poisonous. Long term exposure is to be avoided if it all possible.
