Gundam Dusk Dragon Nadleeh
Wingsora214
I choose the GN-004 Nadleeh due to it being a form of the GN-005 Virtue I liked. It was the first Gundam I had seen on tv and was the most impressive one in my opinion. The theme I decided to follow was a dragon, specifically a white dragon. To achieve this, I decided to incorporate legs and hands from the MG Barbatos and skirt armor from the MG Astraea. I also decided to use the shields that came from MG Astraea as well. The shields will act like funnels and be connected to the back skirting armor when not in use to form a tail. In the images I decided to have only four so that the shield did not cover up any of the kit. To make sure the hands from the MG Barbatos fit I cut off the connection from the GN-004 Nadleeh and used Tamiya cement to glue them on to the MG Barbatos hands. I cut the MG Barbatos V-fin and glued them onto the GN-004 Nadleeh to give it horns. My paint I decided to use was White, Gold, Metallic Violet, and Silver. The base color was white to give off a white dragon and the secondary color was gold. To break up the white and gold I decided to use silver as the inner frame and purple as the tertiary color. For the wire/hair I did a gradient of gold to metallic violet. I gave it these specific paints not only to match the white dragon theme, but it was to break up the all-white with hints of red GN-004 Nadleeh. In the end the paint came out better than what I had anticipated. The paint gave it a majestic feeling to the GN-004 Nadleeh. I struggled to come up with a name but after doing research on dragons and other fantasy names. I finally decided on Gundam Dusk Dragon Nadleeh after research and posing the GN-004 Nadleeh. Gundam Dusk Dragon Nadleeh roaring onto the battle field.
The use of bold is well done and the gradation of the cables is also effectively expressed, which, together with the fine smudging of details, well expresses the precision of the work.
