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]
#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?
