All diy wired with 1206 and 0403 smd leds. Added a usb c port in the back of the base, hooked up to a buck coverter to lower the voltage from 5 to 3 and added a switch in the front to turn it on/off. This was a lengthy project but Im very happy with the result!
First time doing custom led wiring, drilling holes through the inner frame was a pain in the ass but Im very happy with the result! I put a usb c port in the base with a buck converter to lower from 5v to 3v as they are mostly 1206 and 0403 smd leds, so it doesnt need batteries.
No grade rx78F00 Feather unit. My first kit in over 20 years. Got this is in Tokyo Gundam Base next to the giant unicorn statue.
HG Heavyarms and Deathscythe. Also brought these from Japan. Some of my favourite suite designs. The OG ones slap hard.Originally only panel lined and topcoated these but when I got my airbrush setup I stripped them and airbrushed them for practise.
Rg Wing Zero tv. As my first RG this was a very enjoyable build, such an incredible step up in detail from HG, I was astonished. At this point im feeling pretty good at panel lining, waterslide decals + top coat, and I built most of them like that before I get my paint setup.
RG Epyon. Another amazing kit. These 2 really spoiled me before I head on to the SEED ones later...
RG tv tallgeese. I remember I first tried tamiya panel liner on this. I was afraid the plastic could crack but I lined it on the runners before assembling so it was fine.
6 RG Wing Zero TV. I remember THIS the suit I wanted to bring from Japan but I was sad to find out there was no RG of it at that time. This came a couple months after and I was very excited to fully paint this.

Ahhh the RG akatsuki. This was a different beast. Had to very careful filing the undergares. I ended up gloss topcoating it but I think I sprayed it too thick too fast if you look closely the finish is a bit stained, but dont notice it from an arms length.
RG Destiny. Just wanted this one to fill the seed shelf. Very hard to pose this kit so I leave him like this just collecting aura
Blast Impulse Spec II. Insanely fun build. Love the green colors on it. Don't remember where the base is from, I think it was meant for some RX93 set.
RG Strike Freedom. First time I topcoated individual pieces as to not screw up the golden stuff. Annoying to pose, dont like this pose much but I rather not touch him.
RG justice. Coz why not.
Universal Century level
RG Rx-93 V Gundam First Color Lot with kosmos leds.
Changlong RG gramps 2.0 This was my first paint job. Did it with mr surfacer and tamiya spray cans.
With uv panel liner
RG unicorn. Oh my god so many decals I still get nightmares about it. With Lbase wireless leds.
RG hi nu fully painted with kosmos leds, extra fin funnela and high range weapon from rx93 ff.
Dabann HIRM Wing Zero special coating. This is the first one im thinking of removing from display. Not a fan of it, and that would be a prime spot for my future Sky Defender.
Custom painted MG Jesta Cannon. First time trying some shading. Looking back I should have used this for scribe practise.
Painting the MG Exia atm. So far for all my inner frames I've started with a layer of gloss black followed by Tamiya X-10 gunmetal. Thinned with mr color leveling thinner this stuff sprays amazing, every time I'm surprised with how good it looks, like actual metal! And with the darker tone it's perfect for the inner frame imo.
Though, I want to try some others too so I'm looking for suggestions!
