Well, the model itself looks unpainted. Is that correct? When posting works in the Gallery, we'd prefer them to be more than just snapped together with stickers added.
The photo isn't horrible, but you should adjust the white balance on your camera (if digital) for incandescent light which will filter out the yellow. Also use the macro (flower icon) feature if available to remove the blurring in close-up shots. Finally, get a cheap mini-tripod <$10 to steady the camera and turn the flash off.

Thanks for the tips. The gundam is painted, but only the black parts, the kit that I got wasn't really black, it was more a a dark blue, so I painted it black.
The camera is digital, but I guess I neglected to push the macro button...sorry about that. :oops:

Actually, if you look at the color guide in the manual, those parts aren't supposed to be pure black. They are supposed to be a blue-black — at least if you meant to follow the 'official' colors.

Yeah, I didn't mean to follow the colors. The blue didn't look good to me, so I just painted it Gloss Black. Nice and shiney :wink:

I was thinking about it and why would it be a Bluish-Black for a Gundam that would only be in space? I think its because anything in space reflects the earths color so having it a Bluish-Black makes it camoflauge into the background. sorry just wanted to add that comment.
