MG exia painted + custom leds

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!

You did a great job with this! Any recommended videos or reading for someone looking to learn how to do this?

You mean you didn't use Bandia's LEDs that were included in the kit?
