HMS Beagle 1/60

I need to make six medium-sized lanterns and 4 large lanterns. The medium size uses a 3mm OD acrylic tube, and is about 6mm long.
Here is my prototype.

My old iPhone camera tends to overexpose bright areas, such as a light source. Here it is, making a warm-white LED white.
The CA glue had fogged up the clear acrylic, but it looks quite good.
I am currently charging up my real camera, hoping it will take a good shot as my own eyes see the lit lantern.
