F91 sure is a movie, but it has its moments if you look around how it was so extremely cut down. If nothing else the colony invasion at the start is another brutal reminder of just how out-of-scale mobile suit warfare is compared to the people underfoot. ...And then you find out a dude got divorced so hard he turned himself into a psychic cyborg and he's going to kill everyone on earth with buzzaw drones. Oh, also listen to Eternal Wind, the bass kicks in and the song becomes my jam completely.

Despite being a 2013 kit, the HG F91 actually has a lot of nice features. There's detail lines where all the stickers go, making it really easy to line up the F91 on the shoulders. And surprisingly this is one of the HG kits I've done that is the best at holding its bazooka. A lot of fine lines means a lot of chances to break out the grey pen for a change. Unfortunately I have to dock points for not having the beam sabers stow away anywhere. I don't remember details from the movie enough to know where they're shown being kept but I'm all about things being stowed.

I need to see if I can get one of the smaller types of stands in clear for the lightbox photography.

There was a moment of ape-touches-monolith, Also sprach Zarathustra playing in the background, as I realized that the secret key to perspective is turning the phone upside down.

Ah, the F91. The Gundam with the most "It's Not A Bug, It's A Feature!" gimmick ever and I love it for that.

"Aw fuck, the Supercomputer makes it overheat...... What if we gave it armored paint layers so that it flakes off at high speed when it overclocks?" is such a goddamn silly-cool idea.

of all the gundam i've seen, i actively like F91 the least, but not because it's like, that bad? it really is just so in a hurry to be this... hypercompressed version of itself that it has zero breathing room outside of that opening battle, and i cannot gel with that. i do genuinely believe the F91 show might have been one i really really liked, but i just can't get over the cuts for time
