X-wing 1/72 BANDAI keyboard light

[DJSLY74]

Hi to all,

This is my new project, it's the X-wing 1/72 BANDAI, I made a LightUp in reactors and cockpit.

The X-wing can be adapted thanks to its USB port on a PC or on its base.

It will serve as keyboard lamp on my workstation with the 4 LED reactors that are currently hidden for paintjob.

That is a genius idea!!



love to see how you wired it all in and attached to the base of the X-wing.

What a cool project! ;D

Very cool. And I think this is the first Bandai X-wing I've seen lit. Did you hollow out the engines yourself or get the photoetch set for lighting?

Thanks to all for the coments

I dug the extremity of the reactors for a better diffusion of lighting, inside the reactors did not need much modification to insert the LED.

Like it very much. Great idea to use it as a keyboard light.

Thanks texastony1946

I made a stand for the X-wing when it will not be connected to the PC.
