Blue Destiny:

Model Gallery

The Blue Destiny Unit 1 was my 4th resin conversion kit that I've complete. I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this resin stuff. Now I just need to start casting the stuff. Anyway, this project consisted of Bandai's 1/100 scale RGM-79 (G) GM kit and a recast of B-Club's 1/100 scale Blue Destiny resin conversion kit. The conversion kit provided me with parts to create all 3 versions of the Blue Destiny (Unit 1, 2, or 3), but not enough pieces to complete all 3 units at the same time (many parts were shared between units). So being a huge fan of Unit 1's GM look, I chose that version to build. I also liked some aspects of Unit 2's color scheme (mainly the white accents, I'm not a big fan of the red shoulders), as well as it's backpack and leg thrusters that replace the vents on Unit 1's legs. So my vision was to create a Unit 1 Blue Destiny (with some minor paint scheme changes) with interchangeable parts to create a ground and space version. I was able to archive this by the power magnets. I now can swap out thrusters and vents on the legs and remove the hinge cover plates on the ground unit's backpack to attach the space pack. I also used magnets on the space pack's thrusters so they are easier to position and added an antenna to the ground unit's back pack. The last thing I modified was the machine gun, mainly the barrel region.

As far as painting goes, all metal areas were airbrushed with Alclad, and all other colors were done with Tamiya acrylics. The bulk of the decals applied to this kit were purchased from Samuel Decal. The decal sheet was called "CW Blue Destiny." I also used a combination of leftover warning labels I had laying around. This was the first time I used decals created by Samuel Decal, and I must say, I'm impressed. I would definitely buy decals from this site again and would recommend them to anyone.
