Ship Lanterns

[lakedaisy]

I'm looking for small ships hanging lanterns to use with LEDs in the hold of a ship. Something around 1:50 or so scale. I've searched the Internet but haven't found anything but stern lanterns. Would anyone know of a source? Preferably in the USA. Thank you.

Like that ?

 

[lakedaisy]

Yes Huc. Like those. Are they available somewhere?

Hello,

no, sorry, I made them in 3D printing.
I was asking out of curiosity.

. Thanks Bernard. I'll look up 3D printing for ship parts.

They are looking very good !

 

[lakedaisy]

Bernard, do you have your own 3d printer? If so, can you provide information about it?

 

[SZKUTNIK]

Ahoy
@lakedaisy do you have drawings of tha hanging lanterns?

 

[lakedaisy]

No SZKUTNIK. I was looking for premade lanterns to purchase. Thank you.

Yes, this has been my hobby for many years along with sculpture.

Hi Mararten. No I didn't. Thank you. I wrote and asked for a price for 1:50 scale. The lanterns on the site are either too small or too big.

 

[lakedaisy]

Steve from Shapeways replied. He does have 1:50 scale available. I'll order a set. Thanks again Maarten.

Another idea is to repurpose other fittings. Billings fittings have, for example, ships bells that would work. Snug an LED seed lamp up inside and you have a passable interior lantern. Billings also has this:

LAMP (10X10MM, BILLING BOATS)

Just more ideas to choose from…
