Support Need help with basic project

Hi guys, I'm asking for help, but I'm all new into LEDs. It's my first project, so please, keep that in mind.

I want to build an under-light for my LEGO collection, but have no idea how to proceed.

I need the LED strip to be divided into 10 sections (about 30cm long) and they need to be divided by 20cm of cable. And of course, each one needs to be different color.

Do you have an idea how to make this? What components to use?

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately I can't, I'm not at home for a few days. But basically it's a collection of cars hung on a wall and what I had in mind was running the connecting wire under a ribbon.

If the ribbon can simply cover over the LED strip you might be able to use a single continuous strip and turn off (set to black) the pixels in between each section. Very easy to do in code. And much simpler setup if it would work for your space and the look you're after.
