I Put REAL LEDs Inside a StarCraft Pylon! | Artanis Miniature Painting #lotusthalia #starcraft

Description provided by Lotus Thalia on YouTube:

I added real LED lights inside a transparent StarCraft Pylon and turned it into a glowing Protoss display with Artanis! In this video, I show the complete process step by step—from unboxing and priming to painting the transparent crystal, metallic armour, energy blades and scenic bases. I didn’t apply primer to the Pylon’s large crystal, allowing it to remain transparent and preserving the effect of the LED lights. I primed the metallic parts with black and Gunmetal before painting them with Greedy Gold. For the crystal, I thinned Talassar Blue with Lahmian Medium and added energy highlights with Glacier Blue. For Artanis’ armour, I used Polish Silver, Greedy Gold and Black Lotus. I painted his cape using a mixture of Twilight Rose and Deep Purple. I also painted the transparent energy blades using the same method as the Pylon, visually connecting the two models. 🎨 **MAIN PAINTS USED** • Greedy Gold • Imperial Gold Shade • Radiant Yellow • Polish Silver • Black Lotus • Twilight Rose • Deep Purple • Off White • Talassar Blue • Lahmian Medium • Glacier Blue • Nuln Oil • Diorama Earth ⏱️ **CHAPTERS** 00:00 Final Preview 00:48 StarCraft Artanis & Pylon Unboxing 02:25 Installing the LED Lights 03:45 How I Primed the Transparent Pylon 05:20 Preparing the Blue Energy Details 06:20 Painting the Gold Metal Structure 07:25 Talassar Blue & Transparent Crystal 09:10 Shades and Highlights 11:10 Pylon Base & Hiding the LED Cable 12:40 Painting Artanis’ Metallic Armour 13:45 Black Armour, Muscles & Hair 14:50 Painting the Purple Cape 16:00 Blue Crystals & Energy Blades 16:55 Washes, Base & Final Details 17:40 Final StarCraft Showcase The miniatures were painted and filmed by me at my painting table.
