The colour scheme is loosely based on HCM-pro Jegan.
I always wanted a HCM-pro Jegan but it had a huge markup at my local shop when it came out and I couldn't justify spending that kind of money at a scale I am not collecting.
(FYI, HCM-pro is 1/200)
Anyway, I used Re-Gz manual as the mixing guide for teal blue and used what I had at hand for the rest of the colour.
Due to lack of front skirt armour and large shoulder, the torso looks a little stumpy.
I extended the waist and red cockpit hatch by a few mms to give it a more balanced look.
Accessories:
The HGUC Jegan costs ¥1500 (Japanese Yen) which is relatively cheap in today's standard.
However, its Zeon counterpart HGUC Geara Doga only costs ¥300 more and is bigger and includes way more accessories than Jegan.

Wasn't sure if the c-cut would work for seam line so I cut off the back shoulder armour instead.

Personal favorite angle
Well, the panel-lining isn't that successful this time.
I put too little future wax clear coat and didn't let it fully cure.
As the result, I kind of ruined the backpack paint job because some base paint got eat through.
Instead of repaint the backpack, I decided to just let it go and used the brush to fix the problem.
Last time I tried to repaint a part, I ended up striping paints off the entire kit and that poor HGUC BD-1 has been sitting in a box since 2013.
