Making a lamp post, part 4
Today I assembled the lamp post. First is a picture where the reflector part is to be soldered to the horizontal part of the post. I had to fit the LED in the reflector and thread the wires before soldering the different tubes together. This since the 90 degree turns would not let me thread the wires afterwards.
And here is the final assembly.
Next is some touching up and then painting. And then, finally, the post can be installed on the diorama, and the diorama will be practically done!

Lighting
I wanted to be able to display the diorama as a night scene, and not only as a daylight scene, so I added lighting to the telephone booth. A small SMD LED is sitting in the ceiling. It is driven by two AA batteries which I eventually intend to hide in the base of the diorama, reachable from the underside.
