I know it's dumpy, and smaller than I want it to be (And there's no scale so you can't tell how big it is... It's about Medium Pumpkin size), but *this* is a lantern.

I admit, it's hardly a good one. it's put together with a bit of Armature Wire and Ragpaper, but it *is* a lantern. This is proof that I can build one and it's not all that hard. I just need to make it... firmer, and bigger... and maybe with better materials. It's the Pre- Prototype! It's proof that I can do it! Now I just need to, you know, build a proper one.
