Ive been wanting to try my hand at woodcarving for a while now, as well as experiment with led lighting so I'm building a few of these light boxes.
The box itself still isn't finished, hence the rough walls, but the throne pretty well is, so I figured I'd post it. They're lit with 3 10mm leds, and per usual, they're 100% wood and mdf.the cast of the lighting is much more to the blue end of the spectrum- I have trouble with the white balance on my POS camera. These definitely aren't perfect, but for a first attempt, I think they're acceptable. Side note- I've never used my dremel for more than light texture work, and after busting out 10 of these yesterday, I can't feel my right hand;)!

Love it! Really looks like a toy version right out of one of the Sunbow series Cobra jungle temples.

Thanks guys!
I actually almost did go with red jewels, but had trouble finding some that I liked ( I live in a rural area). Anyway, just finished up the boxes,figured I'd update the pics. Added curtains, some piping along the carpet, and rigged up a light switch on a 9v battery supply. Also, I tend to work mostly with the modern size, as that's what most people seem to collect, but being an O ringer myself, thought I'd add the option to have these work for the original scale by way of an optional 1/4" block at the base of the throne. Lastly, this is the first time I've tried to update a post here- not being well versed in anything forum wise, apologies if its not done correctly, I don't mean to spam the board with my junk!

Learn as I go, I guess!
