Treize has been intrigued by the Gundams and so designed a mobile suit which he called Epyon based on the data from the Tallgeese and the other Gundams.

This model was build in conjunction to a group build organize by a group of modellers in LYN. It has been a while since I have not build anything so the group build provided a good excuse for me to start modelling again. I have no idea why I choose to work with Epyon. The most likely reason is that it has been a very special mobile suit for me since Gundam Wing was the first show which got me hooked to gunpla a few decades ago.
The assembly of the model kit was straightforward and I have to say that I am impressed with the design of the newer model. I did not make any modification to the model kit due to the fact that there is little much you can do to improve it. For the colour scheme, I used a reference from Hobby Japan and make slight changes to suit me better.
At the end of the day, I did not win anything from that group build but I have lots of fun building and painting this kit. Now this kit resides in my display cabinet along with my other model kits.
