Tower tops and light assembly

I quickly painted up the tower tops using a mix of black, brown and grey paints and a kid’s craft brush.  I kind of wet-brushed it over and mixed it up on the model with my finger to create a weather and worn look.  I like my terrain to look a bit rustic.

For the lighting, I have two ideas in mind.  One for the fantasy setting and one for the Victorian setting.

I used 3D-printed elements with a 3v yellow flicker bulb to create a plug that can fit into the collum and sewer walls.  I then went onto a 3D building program and quickly designed some plugs that I could use to replace the lights and that would also match the aesthetic of the table.

These plugs can then be easily interchanged depending on whether I want lights or not.

The simple decoration without the light still needs to be painted of course.

The batteries can be replaced by removing the columns and pushing them out via a hole in the back.

I also added lights, to the Gothic statues, which are also removable.

Because the lights are all removable I can also change the colour of the lights easily, so it’s possible to have an eerie green glow if I choose, or in fact almost any other colour.
