Making a Zaku vs GM duel diorama. Custom gunpla paint + beam saber LEDs

There is only one winner in mobile suit duels.

This diorama is part of a buddy build I have with Nu_type93x over in Instagram. He does awesome battle scene diorama so this was a fun challenge for me to try some beam saber LED in my builds. A good learning process that was worth it in the end and I walk away with a new trick in my gunpla building arsenal. Still a beginner in LED modifications so this is not a best practice video by any means, only what worked for me at the time of this build.

If you have questions or suggestion, let me know in the comments below and I'll reply to you as best as I can.

I appreciate your time and thank you for watching my content.
