YMS-15 Gyan

My first fully built and painted Gunpla.  The theory I had with this was to do a "knightly" Gundam.  So, I chose to do the build first and then painted it with Rustoleum Metallic Gold and Krylon Brilliant Silver.  I also used a Flat Black for the frame and boosters.  I'll post the work in progress pictures(WIP) first, then the finished pictures.
Here we go.









FINISHED!  BLING BLING!
Overall, this kit was fun to build.  I loved that it reminded me of a medieval type of scheme, but was still Gunpla.  The articulation, even after painting, is still great.  The legs have a way of moving forwards and back at the hip so that it can take more dynamic poses, (none of which I used in these pictures).  But the legs bend as much as the other Gunpla products.  The arms as well have pretty good articulation and the joints, after painting, are able to hold the sword and shield without issues.  The feet were fun to build!  Having multiple pieces overlap to create them was a cool idea.  I would say that my only real issue with this kit is not from Bandai.  I feel that I did the colors all weird and it turned out, not exactly how I expected.  But, it still looks good and I enjoy it!
