Rustic Barn Lantern

The "Hot-Blast" tubular lantern was patented in 1873 and its iconic design has remained instantly recognisable ever since!

This 398pc functional model aims to be realistic take on modern LED versions of the classic lantern, capturing its rustic charm as a decor piece or even as a light source like its real-life counterpart,

An LED light brick at the centre of the model can be turned active by pressing in the cone/bar mechanism underneath. And easily returned to its inactive state by pulling back down on the cone.

Careful attention has been given to testing the components of the model with real bricks for smooth function and stability; ensuring that the model provides a satisfying experience to both build and behold.

I have chosen to present the model in dark red as I believe this best represents the rustic nature of the lantern, However, blue, black, brown, or green tones could easily be substituted.
