Had a great turnout last night and we had a lot of fun. quote: Originally posted by Grabnet LOVE IT!!! I did have a question for you. What are you using for your hanging lanterns in the Boot Hill Cemetery? They sure look good. Doc Tom Tom, that's a 3mm yellow flickering LED hanging from the tree with some bits from my scrapbox to make it look like a lantern. The wiring and resistor are hidden inside the tree trunk - so it's basically a lamp disguised as a tree! Thanks Dave. Sounds very doable. Going to hang some kerosene lanterns in my 1910 Backwoods Engine House (no electricity @ the EH is way out in the boonies) and the flickering LED should work.Will give it a go.

If I want a hanging lantern, I build it upside down and paint the diodes and base of the LED black to resemble a hanging wire like on the front of the saloon: Dave "It's kind of fun to do the impossible" - Walt Disney http://thundermesaminingco.blogspot.com Edited by - Arizona Dave on 10/09/2017 3:26:12 PM Country: USA | Posts: 1089 ChiloquinRuss Crew Chief Posted - 10/09/2017 :  3:53:14 PM       Great pictorial, thanks for posting. Russ Country: USA | Posts: 673 Grabnet Crew Chief Posted - 10/09/2017 :  9:53:37 PM     Those pics explain the whole process very nicely. I am learning a lot from your posts. I did this foam rock carving from stacked 1 inch blue foam using your techniques with a dremel tool. I did color it to represent the limestone in the Appalachian mountains but it is your technique shipped to the east. Thanks for all your help and willingness to teach.
