[WIP] HG Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] WIP 2

Here's another summary of what I've done up to now.



This has got to be one of the easiest part of this project. I just glued the LED onto the part. To add strength to the connection, I drilled a hole through the peg and pass the wire there. 

Continuing on the feet, I've also put LEDs on the ankle areas. This was a bit tricky because this required me to light up 360 degrees of the part while using minimum amount of LEDs. 



To fix this, I soldered 2 LEDs back to back. Taking note of the polarity, positives soldered together, same as with the negative side. 


Then it was just a matter of running the wires around the ankle joint and exiting towards the upper portions of the kit.



Next thing I worked on was the shields. 



It was just a matter gluing the LEDs on the corners of the psychoframe where it is out of view. Then running the wires around the arm connector. I drilled a hole in the arm armor and frame to run the wires through.


Same with the ankle area. The arms need to be lit 360 degrees so I used the back to back LEDs to light the arm parts.



The lights appear to be a bit spotty or concentrated in some areas but they do look better in actual.
