Tis a Lady!

In the sea of Sazabis, Sinanjus, Unicorns and Quant[T]s the Nobell Gundam is amongst the rarest sights indeed, but it appears at least one modeler is angling to change that.  


Modeller Riru has done some wonderful things with this HG kit. While the angel wings of Wing Gundam are often misplaced on other kits, they are a good fit for this kit, mostly due to the natural angles of the Nobell. The soft pink simultaneous plays up the both the femininity of the kit and lends it an angelic presence, while the hints of red remind us that this is indeed a dangerous piece of machinery. One complaint I do have is with the legs or rather the armor parts attached to the knees. The addition of these pieces detract from the slender elegance of the Nobell and adds an unwanted bulkiness to the kit. That said I still love what was done here and praise the efforts of Riru. If any of you intrepid blog readers have a lady Gunpla to flaunt we welcome your submission on GunplAfrica.
