Today’s review: HGAC Gundam Shenlong!

I won this kit in a contest held by Gunpla.co.uk and decided to use it as an experiment to build a kit using no stickers, opting instead for painted highlights to complete the kit’s appearance.

This kit was a fun build, as all the Wing kits have been so far. It uses the new waist design first seen in the Sandrock to give it extra ab crunch movement and, with a ball joint connected cockpit hatch, this articulation is boosted further to allow nothing to hinder its movement.

The dragon fang arm is designed so that it can extend and retract with no hindrance to the kit’s initial articulation. The forearm connects to the shoulder via a clip mechanism that allows the arm the same outwards movement as the left arm, meaning no articulation is lost to the gimmick.

Even then the dragon fang is further improved upon with the addition of the extension pieces we see in the anime:

The last accessory the kit comes with is the beam glaive. This signature weapon can be held by both included sets of hands, even though the other holding hands were originally designed for the Sandrock and disregarded in the instructions.

I give the Shenlong 10/10 - I can find no fault with this kit at all!

HGAC Wing Gundam - the last of the original Gundam Wing quintet.

I'm still not a big fan of Gundam Wing. I still thing those mecha are a little too gimmicky for the "real robot" aesthetic Gundam typically has. And "bird mode" is certainly gimmicky. But, weirdly, this one probably has the most-normal Gundam loadout.

It's not designed purely for melee combat like Sandrock. It's not all guns, all the time like Heavyarms. It doesn't have a dragon arm like Shenlong. It's not cosplaying as the Grim Reaper like Deathscythe. It's got a fairly traditional beam saber, shield, and beam rifle.

I wanted to try building this kit without any of the stickers.

That's a metallic green Gundam Marker behind the lens in the chest. Some Army Painter matte black around the eyes, and metallic yellow/green Gundam Marker for the eyes and camera lens. I think it turned out pretty well. I like how fast the Gundam Markers dry.

That's some more Gundam Marker, metallic black this time, on the knees.

I was kind of surprised by the articulation on the wings. I mean, it's not amazing. But it's more than I expected from a high grade kit.

It's a fun build that really looks pretty good when it's done.

Unfortunately that transformation to "bird mode" is a huge let-down.

Giving this model a transformation means that some of the joints need extra wiggle-room to move around. And this makes those joints a little more fragile. I had issues with things popping off when trying to pose it.

And the transformation itself just isn't very impressive. This isn't really a problem with the model... It doesn't look great in the anime either. It's basically a robot flying around wearing its shield as a hat.

It's Friday and I only have asynchronous classes so while I was answering queries via chat and email, I was working with this kit. HGAC Shenlong Gundam. I probably had the best experience with this among the other HGAC kits. The plastic is different and much easier to clean. Although I'm a little bummed about the huge stickers for the green circles on the shoulders, I guess it's just the way it is. It is an HG kit after all. And now, Operation Meteor is assembled. Should I continue working through my backlog or should I go back and start doing panel lines on my previous snap-builds? Decisions, decisions... #abuilderslife #plamobuilder #plasticmodels #gunpla #gunplabuilder #gunplaislyf #bandai #GundamWing #HGAC_XXXG_01S_ShenlongGundam #ShenlongGundam #nostalgia (at Marikina City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVRZCpyFBI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My first HGAC. I know I said I won't be collecting this boyband but with Shenlong in the mix, and with the current PBandai under HGAC, I just couldn't resist. Wing was my introduction to Gundam. It wasn't a stellar series, but I have to admit the designs are kinda cool. #abuilderslife #plamobuilder #plasticmodels #gunpla #gunplabuilder #gunplaislyf #bandai #GundamWing #HGAC_XXXG_01SR_GundamSandrock #GundamSandrock (at Marikina City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoH76QiSacu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
