More building LEDs: Japanese Temple

[stevenh]

Ok, after creating the Torii, I needed to light the temple...

Here's the blog article: http://modelrail.otenko.com/n-scale-models/lighting-a-japanese-temple

 

This time I filed down to the LEDs instead of slicing the tube and sliding it over the LEDs.

Worked well :)

 

A few quick pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The internal building lights didn't work too well.. but I'll deal with them later.

What is the archway with the paper lanterns called?  They look neat with the temple lighted up.

The entrance arch is called a Torii. Japan Guide has photos and descriptions of the various shrine and temple elements and lists by location.
