Built Bandai's 1/12 Darth Vader model kit this weekend. I really love all of their Star Wars kits, though they no longer seem to be produced. Plenty available on the secondary market though and priced pretty reasonably. Torn between C3PO and a Stormtrooper for my next acquisition.
I put the stickers on just to put some color on, but maybe I'll get around to giving him a paint job someday. They're good enough for arms length viewing.
Surprisingly I'm rather on time with this milestone/update! Yesterday the last of the decals has been applied and the Miranda-class model has been put away until my Birthday in a few months.
We ended up using third-party decals because the supplied set was very low quality. We also got some additional detailing decals we would not've had otherwise. Surprisingly the decal we struggled with the most was the ones for the phaser turrets - which wasn't something I was personally expecting. Overall I'm pleased how the entire thing has came out: it looks super pretty (even with the lights off) and I could just look at it for ages! 👀
I think I will take a few photos when I do get this model on my birthday... but the project is basically done, and I'm surprised how quick it (relatively) took to build the model considering me and Dad started at the beginning of April!

More from this hut creation.
The rooftop lookout was left removable, the ladder either provides access or is just leaning against the hut.
The door, like on all my hut kits, opens on a hinge. Ork for scale.

I bought some glow-in-the-dark paints a while ago and I decided to try painting a #Gundam with them. It turns out that dollar-store glow-paint isn't exactly the greatest if you want an even coat, but I think it turned out okay, although the glow effect was too faint to really show up on-camera (looks better in person.)
The model is an Entry Grade Build Strike Exceed Galaxy and the colour scheme is loosely based on Action Master Thundercracker.
Once everything dried, a test of al the lights (including a red LED strip inside the torpedo launchers that was added during the assembly process) to make sure everything works before the finishing touches are added. I recorded a quick video showing the entire lighting kit at work!
