RG Destiny Heine color is finished. Water slides came out better than the RX-78-2 and same with the matte top coat. only one coat of matte was used so as to not hide the…
Love the matte finish, really matches the militaristic feel that the decals give.
Are the waterslide metallic decals easier to damage than the peel off ones?
My advice to anyone who is going to use water slides on the Destiny: Bring plenty of patience and decal softener. I have been finding great luck with white vinegar. There are TONS of panel lines and hard edges that the decals sit right over, on just the wings alone. Hopefully i’ll have these decals done today
i just got my water slides in the mail last week. ive been putting it off for a while now hahaah i put the stickers on and it wasnt exactly fun, the wings… oh the wings… they drove me crazy! i ended up cutting the stickers, laying each piece on the plastic… rather than lay it across the gaps. it came out looking really nice. problem was i…[Read more]
I actually quite enjoyed building the MG Unicorn. Though, I enjoy complex builds like the Victory Ver.Ka or the MG Delta Plus and I understand those aren’t everyone’s favorite kits.
Sorry for being wayyyyyyyyy LATE (haven’t loged in in awhile because of work ) I used Alclade chrome for base and Tamiya clear blue and red as top coat
I think bandai should’ve made more grunt suits after the rx-78-2 and zaku ii it’d give them more time to work on maybe studying up the frame or making modifications on it
Well, they did just make the Z’Gok so we’ll probably get a mass production version of that soon.
One of the original plans Bandai showed had the GM, Gouf and RX-78 [G] as well as the Z’Gok so we may get them later along the line.
If there is a Gouf RG made i will loose my mind! Such an good looking suit. I also think there should be more grunt suits in the RG line, pairing with some of the main series suits would be nice.
I’d like to see most of the early Zeon grunt suits, especially the Dom/Rick Dom and Gelgoog. Though I can’t really see those being made over a main suit like the Gouf.
I’d like to see some more of the federations mobile suits it gives them a chance to work on the frame for the gundams and I’d faint over a rg kampfer,maybe even a zaku i
This is my first “custom” gunpla as well as my first HG (I just started gunpla). It’s a battle damaged/scarred RX 78-2. This is the RX 78-2 from the Gunpla starter set vol….
yes arylics are good paints my recommendation is stay away from the enamel paints they take too long to dry sometimes even a couple days i would say use enamels for small details since theyre very shiney
well enamels are best for paneling if you are using acrylic paints.
and yeah gloss enamels are the paints that take a long time to fully cure (my record was over 3 weeks, but i think the paint just went bad due to the age)
Love the matte finish, really matches the militaristic feel that the decals give.

The water slide versions of the metallic stickers are just a grey decal, not shiny. So i used some metallic paint instead of those decals
I picked this one up too. I need to do the details but other unfinished kits require my attention. Great work on it!
That looks great! Here’s hoping that mine comes out looking just as good.
Thanks for the kind words. Did you get the water slide decals for it or just plan on using the RG stickers?
