Budget Belt Gizmo

I am looking to buy/make a belt gizmo, hopefully for under $50 (not including the holster). I understand this means it will be less screen accurate. Does anyone have any guides or links to something that is close? I was looking at the kit Nickatron sells, is there a guide to complete it? Do most people just paint it, or what? TIA!

I built my own using dollar store supplies, some plastic, and some wire, neopixels and an arduino for around $40. I also made the holster myself out of EVA foam and plastidip. I can post pictures later.

Here is my homemade gizmo

Here are some other pics:

Dude, that looks really good for cheap!

That’s beautiful!
