Bandai Yamato 2022 Clear
The kit was left in my classroom with a kind note. Yoshida and I share a love of making models.
Nano leds from Evan Design.
Hull lights junction area. Organized chaos. Wires are insulated with “liquid electric tape”.

Chip HVery nice. I was thinking about putting LEDs in mine also. You've sold me on it!

Doug CravenThe photos don't do the lights justice. The kit look fantastic lit. You need VERY thin gauge wire. Black actually hides well; red stands out too much. I used 28 AWG. For the lights, I recommend nano or pico leds. You can pick these up at www.evandesigns.com.

Doug CravenOh and really important: use soft white instead of bright white leds. Bright white looks a little green under the yellow.

Album info
This kit was given to me by my friend Yoshida Tadao as a goodbye present when I left Japan, so I put extra effort into making it special
1. Nano leds from Evan Designs
2. Arduino Uno and MP3 Shield for control and sound
3. Mounted on a Quality Street chocolate tin.
