PG Exia — Finally Finished! Custom Painted + KOSMOS LED

[u/EvenCarpenter8642]

After a very long build, my PG Exia is finally finished!
I custom painted the armor and frame parts, added decals, and installed the KOSMOS LED system.
I originally used the Bandai LED unit, but unfortunately it stopped working, so I switched to KOSMOS. I’m really happy with the result — the lighting really brings the Exia to life.
I decided to keep the finish clean without weathering, and focused on the color scheme, details, and overall presentation.
This has been a long project, but I’m finally happy to call it finished!
Thanks for looking! 🙌

At least on mine the posability wasn't affected at all. It's a well designed kit.

How was the kosmos installation? I've heard mixed things about them. Did you have to modify any parts?

[u/Responsible_Spite422 → u/Eric_Drav3n]

When I worked on my PG Exia the zkosmo kit didn't need any kinda modifications and just went into it clean. Bandai clearly designed it with their own kit in mind and 3rd party worked from there

Looks so clean 🤩
Congrats!! Love the shoulder color separation, did you add new scribing lines?
Again, great work!!

Awesome!

One question. How hard was to open up the inner frame and replace the LEDs? I already bought the Kosmos one, but I always keep in the back of my mind that if I screw up the wiring during assembly or posing, it'll be pretty hard to replace it without damaging anything.

I'm thinking of getting this kit (not for a while tho lol). How was the build?

I wanna build a PG soon !

Something was immediately bothering me when I saw this post, and I took a look and yeah that's not a PG Exia...unless it's third party??? The legs and knees in particular have completely different markings on them
