Gundam White Destiny

Posted by Gemini [www] 

Wasup people. I just wanted to share pics of a re-paint I did. As can be seen in the pics it's the Destiny Gundam in white. The idea came to me when I was re-watching Pretear and I heard the intro song called "White Destiny".

I decided that it would look better with 2 anti-ship swords.

This is how it looked right before I put the decals in.

    I like it a lot, though I'm not sure how I feel on the silver. Either way, good work.

    very nice clean build. : ]
    Btw, is that gunmetal silver paint? and if so do you spray paint it on?
    plus, is it just me but does painting it make it more thick on the outside and impossible to put together, and how would u deal with it (cuz the backpack portion of the oo gundam I have isn't completely on due to the paint)

      Thanks. I used Tamiya spray cans for all my gundams, but for the silver I actually went with a lacquer spray can. When I first tried a repaint back in the day with a Freedom Gundam, I found it difficult to put it together since I sprayed the sides meant for connecting other pieces. If you painted your connection nubs, just get a fine sand paper and sand the paint off. The backpack should go on easier then.

    Very clean and nice, but I wish there was gray tone color on some parts.

      Which parts? I've thought about some gray on the swords, but the main body itself I wanted all white like a storm trooper.

        Small parts like in the front skirt, knee caps, boomerangs on the shoulders. Even small changes will make this even better as long as it's balanced overall.

          Of course, I think white/silver should still dominate however.

    That looks fantastic! Do you have Extreme Burst Mode ver? Because that Destiny would look killer with the Wings of Light xD

    Good Job!! Σd(>口<)

      This is the Extreme Burst Mode version. Sadly, I wasn't paying attention when I tossed out the box and I accidentally tossed the light parts out.

        Like Yuuichi-kun said, Oh Noooooo!! When I saw the siver decal, I thought it is the normal version too until I see the chromed hands, and I realised it's the Extreme Blast version.

        The anti-ship sword is MG version?
        But I really like the colour scheme. It looks fantastic.

          Yup, both swords are MG version. I bought a normal version Destiny to turn into a dark twin of this one. I just took the sword from that and the dark destiny will have 2 blasters.

    WOW... WOW!!! I'm impressed. It looks very good. I'm not a big fan of Destiny Gundam, but this makes it look very cool! Definitely a nice touch with the F.A.I.T.H. decal.

        Thanks, I almost went with a gold instead of a red. I'm glad I went with red.

    The eye-lines combined with the white/silver scheme make it look like a crying avenger even more than the original Destiny. :O

    Nice work. A white butterfly was the impression given to me. Although adding a little black would make it better *in my opinion though* I guess I can give this a grade of.....

    W this thing. W for Well done.
