MG Destiny Part 12

Miscellaneous
For not being able to find any suitable tag line for the many tit-bits did in this posting. XD


I actually used the bottom of the part shown in the second picture above as a tray for my Gundam Marker Gold to paint some parts done in previous posting. That's why there a spot of golden paint there.


Done with painting the backpack thrusters in Part 8, I left a few other parts for the backpack untreated actually.

They are for the backpack itself XD

The details for the parts where the thrusters sits on are simply amazing. Together with the neck area, It's one of those parts that made me wonder why Bandai would bother to put in so much details for a part that won't be seen much when the model is assembled. But I'm happy about it nonetheless. And the only way to bring those details to life is to properly panel-line and paint them, even if they are not meant to be shown a lot.


The five "brothers" of extreme details XD



In before they are sealed up by the armors, you can see that the backpack has full inner frame details, which make MG Strike Freedom's backpack looks like that of a HG kit ^^;
Parts for the body left untreated from Part 9:


The "spine" of Destiny - the part that controls the movement of the upper body. Painted gold and silver for those tiny tubes.


Picking the details to be panel-lined there: these two are the shoulder joints that would split out when the joints are moved, and those details might be shown when that happens. The black painting is the border between the joint and the body armors.


The painted parts for the body.
Since the palm cannon is among the armaments of Destiny, the model comes with two spread palms to display that weapon. For me, they are quite versatile and can allow you to perform more action poses than merely showing the palm cannon.

To be consistent with my BB Senshi Destiny, the cannons are being painted in Gold.


Last component on the list: the head.


Painted black for the bottom of the forehead to show more depth for the helmet, especially when you look at the head from a lower angle.


The protruding words molded on the forehead. I just panel-line the words and swipe them clean after that. The little bit of black line drawn would outline the details.


Like what I did with the eye of my 1/100 Astray Red Frame, I painted the edges of the clear part with black, so that there will be no clear part exposing if the foil sticker can't cover the intended part entirely.
Done with all the parts for this MG, but I will have to go back and revisit one of the components, and remedy on its weakness before the final assembly. Do you know which part is that?

Please look forward to the next review. ^^
