Sprayed with Tamiya acrylic X11 Chrome Silver on runner just because it was easy to do and can get to some parts that are hidden later. It's good but it could definitely use another coat... which it will get.
I have to admit that I really like this frame. It's simple and it's sturdy. I like the round shield and I also like the fact that the Dragon Arm also has it's own frame. I'm treating it less as a weapon and more as a part of the suit itself. Very enjoyable experience.

Oh god, when I saw the last pic first, the first thing that came to mind was "OH HAI, a Gyan!". Took me until I read the "dragon arm" bit that I realized it was Shelong.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hoping for a Gyan color scheme...
That's one cute cat. First time buying kits online?
ReplyDelete@Shaomu/Nyanerius: Hahaha! ^o^ That would resemble a Gyan without the Dragon Arm, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteI've yet to pick this guy up, but he's on my MG list, to be sure. Thankfully, he's relatively new and even older MGs get reissued often, so I don't have any fear of not being able to buy him later on. Right now, after just purchasing the RG Aile Strike, I'm saving my money for the MG 00 Raiser.
I like how solid the overall XXXG frame series is, and the fact that Bandai can milk a lot of MS from this frame (what with at least 4 variants of the 5 main Gundams in Wing) is encouraging and makes me hopeful that the MS variants I want will eventually be made.
Concerning the Shenlong itself, the shield really impressed me with all the parts it has and the way they go together. The only gripe I'd have with it is that the Dragon Arm's way too short with Katoki's design. This guy won't be able to pull off the Shenlong combo from SRWZ2 :(
talagang silver or gray para sa frame?
ReplyDelete^sorry, I meant the frame is usually painted in silver or gray?
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was a MG cat... *facepalm*
ReplyDelete*GASP* Busterbeam got a free GUNCAT in his MG Shenlong box? Is that a first edition special item? Where can I get one?!
ReplyDeleteGyan! haha i didnt even think of that but i can kind a see the resemblence now.
ReplyDeletetom - i didnt buy it online. a friend brought it for me from japan.
i would have liked a bit of a longer dragon arm too but i guess its ok for this design.
the frame is usually gray but i went for chrome silver on this one.
and sorry, the guncat is only for special customers! you may be able to find one in your town tho!
IMO Shenlong model kit is one of the best in wing series. let see heavyarms and epyon review first :p
