Fancy photos later (especially once I figure out how to deal with the shiny front panel) but my @desertbus Craftalong project is done! I did the final soldering yesterday night, so now it's all purty and shiny. Hooray!

My airbrush station once again served double duty as a solder station hahaha.

Okay, the inner insert is basically done and epoxied together. Next up, whenever I feel like it, is doing some very minor soldering of the loose LED wires on the backside.

My craft has been accepted for the 2025 #DesertBusCraftalong ! I'm honestly about 90-95% done already. Desert Bus Express was a huge help for that. 😁

Most of the minis are already glued and tacked down in this photo. I scuffed up my plexiglass front panel a bit too much, so I cut a new one. I'm down to basically soldering some LED wires together and epoxying everything into the frame insert!

Okay so this looks sick.

Gluing and soldering lights tomorrow, probably.

It occurs to me I never shared the photos of Senshi, Izutsumi, and Falin. Here you go.

Also I double checked the pre-wired LEDs I have leftover from last year work, and I started painting some set dressing.

Okay, this is as far as I'm getting with the painting tonight. 😅 I might try to quickly do the LED wiring tomorrow morning, but I think I'm good for now.

The minis will get pinned and glued on later.

And it's Desert Bus Express! Great time for me to get my paint on. :D
