What do you reckon? I think the Lantern looks much better now it has been assembled. The light box section could be little big in proportion to the base and top. Also I changed the concrete recipe slightly for the pedestal which gives it a more brown colour than the rest of the lantern. But overall it's not to bad for a first attempt.
When it is not too windy I can get a "tea-light" candle going in the light box to give a nice flickering effect. The next things to do are to encourage some moss to grow on the lantern like it was on some of the lanterns in Nara. The other thing is to make a couple of wooden frames for the larger openings of the light box which I can cover with paper to provide some more shelter for the candle.

Maybe try painting some natural yogurt on the lantern to make it look old? I think it encourages the mold to grow.
