As of tonight I've painted all the red and blue parts, given them a gloss coat, and started panel lining them. I've also got most of the rest or the parts gloss coated and they are curing atm. Should just be one more round of prep glossing to go. I had to paint the blue parts because the nub marks were way too noticeable on this guy, plus I made a stress fracture in the plastic on the chest so that needed fixed. I painted the red with a mixture of Mr. Color reds, because I found the standard red too bland. I used Mr. Color on both and this was my first time using that brand. I must say I really liked it, being a lacquer based paint it should bond better with the plastic. Not much else to say about it this time other than I got some decals for the kit from SamuelDecal, all water slides do looking forward to trying those out. At this point I'm very pleased with the kit, albeit a bit nervous about how well it will fit together with all these layers on it, we shall see.

RG Destiny: WIP Part 1
Well this post is about a week late...anyways Destiny was completely assembled (no paint except the eyes) and had since been taken apart. I painted the frame parts using a mixture of Tamiya silver and gun metal, was pretty nervous about painting the preassembled frame of the real grade but it came out perfectly. As I said in the opening part, trying to simulate the silver frame from the MG Extreme Blast but toned a lot darker (expecting a RG I Justice that will need a silver frame). After that I gave it a light coat of Aqua Gloss Alclad to help protect the paint.
