HG 1/100 Destiny Gundam

The joints on this sharply detailed HG 1/100 kit allows for a wider range of movement and are capable of replicating action poses as seen in the show. The wings can open and close, and it comes complete with its signature weaponry. Foil stickers and original design marking stickers are included 

Battle damaged and weathered kit from the Gundam seed Destiny series. I tried to just limit to paint weathering effects and not too much on battle damage since its not a master grade kit.

The design of the Destiny gundam is to be a multi-purpose MS without the need for exchanging equipment during battles. 

The Gundam destiny has only two Beam boomerangs that double as beam sabers.  For close combat its has a large Anti-Ship Sword for cutting andsling those mobile suit carriers. This gundam is capable of handling a variety of combat situations with the type of weapons it has 

For long-ranged battle this mobile suit is equipped with a Long-Range Beam Cannon mounted at the back and an optional Beam Rifle which this kit needs to hold in its hands.  This unit has Palm Beam Cannons that are used in close combat.

The Destiny mounts a small physical shield as well as two Beam Shield Generators for defense.

Lastly for defense the suit is equipped with a standard set of head mounted machine guns 

I added some customized booster bells on the kits back back using scratch built materials

Armaments :

1 x M2000GX high-energy long-range beam cannon

1 x MMI-714 "Arondight" anti-ship sword

2 x MMI-GAU26 17.5mm CIWS

2 x MMI-X340 "Palma Fiocina" palm beam cannon

2 x MX2351 "Solidus Fulgor" beam shield generator

2 x RQM60F "Flash-Edge 2" beam boomerang

 Destiny mounts a small physical shield for defense 

I detailed and weathered the shield by dry brushing paint and adding after market decals  

The very colorful Destiny Gundam in 1/100 scale, the kit features snap-fit assembly, and lots of optional weapons and multiple hands for various poses. Rubber Polycaps ensure smooth movement at the joints

1/144 HG  Gundam Deathscythe Hell

The  Gundam Deathscythell is a mobile suit that specializes in stealth and close combat.
The gundam is a 1/144 scale kit from the gundam wing endless waltz. I chose this kit because of its awesome devilish look. This gundam has this mysterious look and aura at it. This suit has very little weapons. Aside from the gatling guns at the head unit it only has a scythe to cut enemies to pieces with.

Good thing that this kit has a cloaking ability that allows it not to be seen by the enemy.

Build quick details :

1/144 scale
airbrushed with:
Tamiya gunmetal -- wings and armor
flat black -- most of the kit armor parts
light blue -- legs arms

Panel lined with gundam marker

Top coat: several coats of flat coat in between builds.

I painted the kit with its usual standard black color. but during the painting process and with some research I opted to paint the other armor parts in blue which i mixed using decanted bosny paints.

To depict the kits eyes i used the stickers provided in the kit to give it more detail.

After painting and reassembling the kit I top coated it with clear flat for that rubbery like finish.  
I panel lined the kit with Gundam marker and used some references so that i do not overdo panel lining the kit.

Here is the kit rear view. There is no after market decals that I can find for this kit for extra details.
The wings are usuallt reminds me of batman.

The kit is a very fun and easy to build . No fit issues and since the kit has very few parts its a quick build.
I would highly recommend this kit for people who are just starting to collect and paint Gundam models for its simplicity and quality

1/100 ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior.

ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior

Overall Height 17.19 meters
Standard Weight 73.09 metric tons
Power-plant Ultracompact Energy Battery
Pilot Accommodations Pilot only, cockpit in chest

Armaments:
Beam Tomahawk/Shield
Hand Grenades
Beam Rifles
M68 "Cattus" 500mm recoilless rifle

I used after market decal sets for the ZAFT insignia and for the caution markings and warning signs. Drilled holes to the armor to depict rivets  done to the armor.

The ZAKU Warrior is a  mass production mobile suit. The ZAKU has a  standard set of armaments designed for both close combat and ranged battle. Stored inside its shield is a beam tomahawk for close combat.    

The ZAKU carries different types of four mobile suit sized hand grenades

Painted the shield spikes with silver giving the kit that more menacing realistic look. Produced the shield rough detail by dabbing a brush with tamiya putty. Better use an old brush for this since tamiya putty will harden at the brush after use. 

The zaku uses a beam assault rifle for ranged combat. it uses hand armaments like a bazooka or a recoilless rifle optionally when needed    

I added the wizard pack to the kit and detailed using some solder wire . The solder wire gave the kit that functional look. I did not paint the wire since the silver color is good enough to make that realistic look

most mobile suits of the era has the CIWS guns but the ZAKU does not have these standard weapons

4 x Hand grenade

ZR30F fragmentation grenade

ZR20E high explosive grenade

ZR271 thermite incendiary grenade

ZR11Q flash grenade

ZR13Q smoke grenade

I customized the pack by adding in customer thruster bells.

I painted this kit using these decanted paints from bosny. I applied it Using my tamiya sprayworks airbrush.

Feel free to add comments and suggestions.
