It’s been a while, while my foray into warhammer and miniature painting has been satisfying, I find big stompin’ robots draw me back.
But why does HLJ not have anything in stock? All good kits are back ordered! View
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]
I know it’s been along time since I posted a WIP on My MG Destiny build, but slowly but surely it is coming along… I’ve been very busy going back to my last year in school so it’s a very important year for me! Anyway… I’ve started painting the Wings and the Backpack – Plus anti ship sword and long canon! Again I used tamiya spray paints.…[Read more]
I would firstly like to see a MG Legend and Ataksuki, I know I say it a lot… But it’s the 10th Anniversary for Seed Destiny and I’ve been disappointed that their hasn’t been any ‘big’ releases from seed destiny this year.
I would also like to see in the future a 2.0 of the strike freedom, destiny, freedom and impulse.
I would also want a MG…[Read more]
Hi everyone, I’m looking at buying top coats for my MG destiny painted build… And I’m looking for both gloss clear and flat clear, tamiya spray paint. I’ve found flat clear, but however I can’t find a tamiya gloss clear I can just find pearl clear… Can anyone tell me if pearl is the same as gloss or different and where I can find gloss would…[Read more]
Pearl and gloss are completely different finishes. Gloss will leave it shiny, while pearl will have a glittery effect. It is up to you if that is the finish you are looking for. As far as where to locate it, best bet would be online and see if they can ship to your area.
its looking awesome best destiny ive seen so far since im not really a destiny fan but this this is just nice plus the fact ur using spray cans makes it even better
Thanks Guys! Really appreciate it… I’m really happy that you guys like it! I’m away in Spain atm so have only just read your comments it’s made my day! Will post the wing updates and the decals updates when I’m back! Thank agian
WOW love that RG look,you definitely madde it look 500x better,and you have encourage me to work more with spray paints,since i dnt have an airbrush as wel ^^
Im going to work on a Sengoku Astray,and now i feel brave to do a custom spray paint..i just hope i can do it look half as good as your destiny (cuz ive just started on gunpla…[Read more]
@Ryu Shiro, I’m glad you like what I’ve done and I’m happy I’ve inspired you to use spray paints… It’s really not hard to get a good finish from them as long as you have patience and use the right techniques… As I learnt the hard way aha:) I used Tamiya TS AS And PS spray paints and I would defiantly recommend them haven’t had any problems…[Read more]
#WIP MG Destiny Gundam custom painted build. Once again the amazing weather has meant my progress on this build has been really quick as the paint has been really easy to do! I’ve gone for the original colour scheme of the Destiny, however I have panel scribed lots of my own details and areas of the armour to give the MG the two tone style of the…[Read more]
Hi Guys, I’m looking to apply both Waterslide and dry transfer decals onto my painted MG Destiny build once I have finished painting it that is. I just wanted to know of there’s any specific way to get the best finishes or with out error… e.g. Applying clear coats? And is so gloss or flat first etc? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated
Yeah, you might get silvering (caused by air behind the water slide) of the water slides if you choose not to topcoat first. I made the mistake of not coating my RG RX-78-2 and some of the water slides slivered on me.
Take a peek at some of the pics ive posted. Those the result of gloss top coat -> decals -> gloss top coat. you can replace the…[Read more]
Since this year is the tenth anniversary of Seed Destiny (please tell me if I’m wrong), but because of that I wish that we could get a MG Legend or MG Akatsuki… I just feel that it’s only right as they did it with the seed kits. Anyone else agree?
@Nick, if it were up to me I would have all the see destiny kits in MG! It does make me wonder why bandai never made the blast impulse… It doesn’t make sense why only make to put of the three!?
dont worry about it im gunna bet itll come out as a premium release just to piss us all off like the destiny impulse kinda expected it could be premium but also upsetting becasue it comes out now
I don’t really mind the MSV kits that never showed up in the shows (Astray variants), straightup recolors (Rezin’s Geara Doga) or kit bashes (Destiny Impulse) being P-Bandai as it’s pretty easy to kit bash or paint yourself.
But then the are ones like the Banshee Norn, Neo Zeong Psycho Shard and Hi-Nu weapons pack which really should come out in…[Read more]
I wouldn´t mind a Freedom 2.0 and Destiny 2.0 (after seeing those RGs i just want 2.0 MGs) MG Legend,MG Akatsuki…so many cool looking MS in Seed and Seed Destiny lol
@Ryu Shiro i agree! i wouldn’t mind a 2.0 Freedom and Destiny as i think that those kits are a little plain now… thats why at the moment i am re painting and detailing my MG Destiny in the style of the the RG Destiny and i think it just looks so much better than being plain. Plus i really would like the Legend and Ataksuki, plus the Justice!…[Read more]
They sure blew it with the Destiny MG’s, all we’ve received so far is the Strike Rouge Ootori. Where are Legend, Akatsuki, Saviour and the 3 stolen suits?
#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…
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…[Read more]
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…[Read more]
Hi Guys, thought I would share in what I am currently building. I’m in the process of building my MG Destiny Gundam… I’ve decided to do a custom painted build but in it’s…
Looks really great! Love the gold patches on the underside of the feet. It beaks the large silver surface. Hope you don’t mind me copying it somewhat on my MG Destiny…?
Got the Mr Color paints in today, now waiting on the airbrush from HLJ to arrive. The finally I can begin on mine and share some pictures with you.
Keep up the really nice job on…[Read more]
Thanks mate, really tried my best to bring out the detail of the inner frame and I’m really pleased with how it’s turned out the paint colours are amazing! Defiantly use the technique and ideas. I look forward to seeing how your destiny turns out! Good luck and speak soon
MG Destiny Inner Frame WIP#3 I have finished the legs and backpack frames now and used Tamiya spray cans gunmetal and aluminium and detail with gold and silver markers. I have also finished the feet frames and shown some priming progress pics
looking good btw whered u buy the super clear gloss
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?
