    #WIP: I’ve been really busy with my MG Destiny this week! The beautiful sunny weather here in England and it being a summer holiday means I can really get on with the painting and modelling!
    I have now finished scribing panel lines and have painted all of the “white” pieces of the destiny in a type of RG style two tone. I used Tamiya AS-20 Insignia White which is like the off white/grey of the destiny, and used Tamiya Light Grey for the second colour both which I applied on top of a layer of Tamiya Grey Surface Primer; and I think they have turned out well! I also finished the head which is also Insignia White, and I used Tamiya TS-49 Bright Red and Tamiya TS-47 Chrome Yellow for the V-Fin, I’m pleased so far as this is my first custom paint build!

    Thanks Guys

    • great job! i was planning on doing the same 2-tone RG style with my MGs. not very fond of the mostly white color schemes. good to see it will look and work great with the MGs as well 🙂

    • Again, awesome paint job. Looks really great. Very nicely done, the two tones on one piece of armor. A very good masking job I have to say.
      Also like your color choice, but the color choice for the V fin is spot on!
      Now I’m so curious on the selected blue color…..
      Ps, nice to know the weather in England is nice. On the other side of the pond (Holland) it’s pretty rainy… 🙁 LOL

    • Thank You @daverb! I think that it helps to break up the panels and gives a more realistic but still clean look to the kit. 🙂

    • Aha Thanks Again 🙂 I am really happy with this English weather it’s rant that I can just crack on with painting the kit! I planned to follow the original colour scheme of the Destiny as close as possible so I’m grateful that you send the colours were spot on. As you know the blue is the hardest but I have some ideas… But you will have to wait and see how they come out !!
