Hi there. It’s been a long time indeed. Hope you’re doing well. The Hi-Nu is looking good so far. Curious to see what you next mods will be. Good luck and happy building
Hello fellow modellers, my question today is regarding displaying my models. I would like to ask where i can get a small display case for my recently completed MG Destiny Custom Build, i was thinking something around 40 cm higher around 30 m wide and about 20cm length, it doesn’t have to be that size but that’s just to put a sense of scale to it.…[Read more]
I can’t give an actual one to find but you could search second hand shops around your town. I found an old china cabinet that I use to display my 1/144 kits so you may find something.
MG Destiny Gundam Ver. OB, Custom Repaint Build in RG colour scheme. I have now finished this build completely… i am very very pleased about the outcome of this build as it is my first ever completely fully custom, fully painted build. I have repainted the whole gundam in the original colour scheme, but in the two tone RG style. I panel scribed…[Read more]
P.P.S – i painted it completely using tamiya spray cans, and mixed my own blue and blended them together with different layers of spraying ( as it was the only way i could get the blue i wanted for the kit, and i didn’t know how else to do it with spray cans). For the armour I used tamiya brilliant blue and tamiys blue violet to make the final…[Read more]
That looks really great! Excellent job! Love the colors, the extra panel lining and the detail painting. Sorry to hear (actually read.. LOL) you’vr had some issues with the build. But rest assure, I’m having tons of issues with it. Paint cracking, gloss coat frosting out, chrome turn silver…. So I didn’t got as far with it as I hoped… Seems…[Read more]
Looks pretty good I really like the extra panel lines and the gray you added to break up the color very nice job especially since its your first custom I’ve got the extreme blast destiny sitting in the box on my self waiting on me to build it ,I’m waiting on my waterslides I ordered for it and to finish my wing kit and then I going for it I’m…[Read more]
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!
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
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]
