MG Destiny Painted Build WIP- I have now officially finished… Yesterday I finished applying all the Waterslide decals and did a final flat top coat, I used Mr Hobby Flat…
i usually hate the look of the destiny but this one is probably by far my favorite! good job. if u remember my destiny impulse gundam and that color scheme youve inspired me to strip off that paint and redo it in rg colors
A great model. Well done on painting Shin, I think it is. Been a while since I watched Seed Destiny. I could only imagine the amount of effort it took. Congratz!
Wow! That looks awesome. Great job! It sure looks better than the one I’m working on. No doubt about it. Pictures look fine. Can’t wait to see it in some poses. Thanks for sharing!
Water slides are mostly done on the legs (just 2 more on the knees) and i just have to finish the side skirts and weapons and this will be ready for judging at comic con. The clock is ticking down and my back is against the wall on this one.
Salutations, syd and Ryan. Once I heard you say the LED units were separate, I didn’t care what price they would be I was getting both right off the bat. How can you not? This kit will be beautiful. Can’t wait till its’ release. Good to see the show. Been a long four weeks.
Also if you’re wondering about my comment here’s what I’m talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WADIeenSMw#t=548 Don’t watch, just listen to the audio. Playing with contexts is fun guys!
Getting ready to do the water slides on these massive feet. Skirt armor and thrusters are the only parts left to complete for the MS. Now i have to decide what weapons to use in my display pose since i won’t have time to finish them all before next week.
That’s turning out to be one hell of a great kit. You’ve inspired me to buy another Ver. Ka and do a similar paint job. I’ve decided to go with black and three different greens. I can’t wait to see it finished!
Thanks for the kind words and im glad i was able to inspire you just by doing what i enjoy. This really is a massive project and i have learned a lot. Lessons learned will carry over when i start on my next BIG project, the nu-gundam ver ka. Its sill in the planning stage but i have LOTS of things i plan to do with it. I hope your kit come out like u want.
Yet some other pictures of the work in progress. Have I ever mentioned I don’t like the yellow on Gundams? Well, I don’t, so I painted them gold. Still have to do the gold…
Pre ordered the Unicorn, not too sure about the LED set though, I’ll wait to see what it looks like before ordering. I don’t want to fork over another 9600 yen for something I won’t use…
Have my PG Unicorn and LEDs on preorder! Going to be my first PG can’t wait! Anyone know what the life span of the LEDs are like? Never used them before.
LEDs last a pretty good while. Especially if you aren’t having it running all the time. However I have never had any experience with Bandai LEDs before. I might pick up the two LED set just to see.
MG Destiny WIP- o have now applied all the dry transfers- they all went on really well, accept one ‘ZAFT’ decal on the wing which broke and moved slightly… I fixed it as much as I could! He’s all packed at the moment to stop dust, until I apply waterslides tomorrow!
Excellent! He looks really great! And what a good idea of using the bags to prevent dust from collecting on it. Much luck wished to you on applying the waterslides. But I’m sure you will make an awesome job of that as well
Some more pictures of the work in progress on the MG Destiny. One picture of a piece of the backpack is a little blurry unfortunately…. Also included some pictures of a…
Thank you very much. I’m liking yours better than mine. Is this what they call, the grass looks always greener on the other side of the fence… LOL. Yes, everything is done with an airbrush. Except for Shinn of course. He is all done with a 5/0 and a 3/0 hand brush. I’m glad you like him. Took me 4 hours to paint him. That’s without drying time…
Here are also some pictures of a MG Destiny. Decided to strip all the chrome plating and use Alclad II chrome. First time I used it, but worked out fine, although there are…
Haha. I wouldn’t worry about that @Oli8all. I’ve seen how much detail you’ve put in yours. I hope mine can stand in the shadow of yours. Thanks for your nice comment.
WIP-MG Destiny Build… Today my Mr Hobby Super Clear Gloss spray paint arrived, so I jumped straight in a clear coated the MS and Wings ready for decals(waterslides and dry transfers)! Then flat coat and then the last stretch…thanks guys
actually can i also ask how did u panel line it well wht did u use as ur guide to make the scribed lines so striaght rulers for me are getting pretty tough and annoying
Looking really nice! I’m finally getting mine done. If I speed thing up, we might be able to arrange a family meeting for the long lost twins. LOL. Are you going to do weathering on yours? Plan to do mine straight out of the factory. Hate to dull up the pearlescent paint mixture…. Thanks for your update
@thebanshee13, as i live in the UK paints are quite difficult to get a hold of (so i thought), so i used to get them all of off eBay, but then i found model shop called eModels who supply Tamiya and Mr Hobby paints which is brilliant and i don’t have to pay more for shipping or have to wait for weeks either. i can send you a link to them if you…[Read more]
@teetee580 Thanks, i’ve seen your WIP pics… it looks like it coming along nicely. As for weathering i don’t really plan on weathering it, i want this one to be a clean build (like its just come out the factory but might of had a couple of test flights) so i have done some subtle weathering and dry brushing in places (like around vents)- so i…[Read more]
Working on my 1st Gundam Model today. I picked up the:
Hazel Custom Gundam HG. I’ve been looking at tutorials all day. I opened and cleaned the trees at 8pm and now its 4:22 A…
Sazabi update: the legs are almost done and i should be able to finish up the gloss coat and water slides tomorrow after work. This build is coming down to the wire for time. test fitting the legs and i can finally see how big this kit really is.
Aside from being a bit thick on the paint. It’s a really good effort, for a first time. I’ll being pretty crap when I use the airbrush for the first time in a few days. You’ll only get better with practice. Keep up the work and you’ll have a good looking kit. But remember it’s all about fun, even if it doesn’t turn out how you want. So ENJOY!
