The two different lantern jobs shown below were lots of fun to work on. I actually managed to take photos are all the different stages of them as well. You can see my initial conceptual drawings, partially built pieces and then the final assembled parts.
This one was slightly different then normal because instead of having two separate pieces that attach to each other, it was one solid piece that was welded together. To get the letters to light up I made an acrylic block with LEDs lighting up the edge and then slid the entire block into the metal frame.

This is the only lantern I made that had a wooden mounting frame. Making the 3d model really helped because I wasn't able to use the regular methods I use with metal components.
