It's going to be something...
Nosferatu Carriage
What Gothic city layout would be complete without a creepy horse-drawn carriage travelling the cobbled roads at night? I had just the model in mind and printed it out with my resin printer. The original model was huge, so I rescaled it to fit in better with my other carriages.
I then used my FDM printer and knocked up a quick base to match the cobblestone roads. 3D printing is excellent for these kinds of things.
I was reasonably happy with the model, but it needed the lamps replaced with something else so that I could illuminate them.
The basic printed rescaled model with a simple paint job.
I removed the top part of the carriage so I could modify it to hold lights.
I had a few spare wall mounted flicker lights that were quite small and not to dissimilar to the lamps already on the printed model.
I removed the brass stem from the lights.
I then broke off all the resin lights and drilled holes in the corners of the roof so that I could thread the wires through and into the body of the model.
It ended up looking like this. 
Next, I glued all the flicker lights into place, trying my best to make sure each was at the correct angle and orientation. 
A quick test by toughing the wires to a battery.
The top part of the carriage placed temporarily back in situ and a neaten up of the carriage paint job.
Once happy I trimmed the wires down to a more manageable length and installed a small battery into to body of the carriage.
Now my carriage is ready to prowl the streets at night looking for the unwary who may find themselves outside alone.
