La Couronne Corel/scratch 1:100 First build [COMPLETED BUILD]

Thanks for this very detailed info.In my case i don’t want to apply it to my model because all the windows etc are not transparent only the lanters can be lighted from inside.I will think on that for my next model and prepare it for lighting accordingly

I see you used the lanterns provided with the Corel kit. I bought a set of lanterns from the Mantua kit because they can be assembled. You can drill holes to the pieces and route the LEDs into the plastic parts. My lanterns have three nano-LEDs for the large lantern and two nano-LEDs in each of the smaller lanterns. I couldn’t figure a way to get the wires run through the Corel lanterns.

You are right with the lanterns they are from Corel kit which i bought once at the end of 80’ies and started to built Nov 2023 The only additional accessory which i bought extra are the lille de france brass fİgures as you recommended to me that i can get them from etsy.
Without the lille figures it would be a boring (null act fünfzehn) model.I have to thank you again for your tip once.
Probably i will not try any lighting for L.C. Perhaps some direct spots in display case when finished
