A busy old street, lit by lanterns. Townsfolk carry their goods past an old inn in this scene inspired by China's Ming and Qing dynasties, with a dragon lantern bringing the street to life. Build it piece by piece, slide it onto your shelf, and let the sensor light greet you each time you walk past.

Why you'll love it

  • A street full of life. Townsfolk, an old inn and a dragon lantern making its way down the lane.
  • Two ways to light it. The sensor light switches on as you approach and off again after a minute or two. The touch light stays on until you turn it off.
  • Dust cover included. A clear acrylic cover keeps your finished scene looking fresh.
  • A gift that gets built. For the history lover, the traveller, or anyone drawn to old towns and lantern light.

Glue and batteries aren't in the kit box. This pack has both, for less than buying them separately.

Tips for a smooth build

Dry-fit first

Slot each piece into place before you glue it. It's far easier to spot a misfit now than after it sets.

Test the lights early

Switch the lights on before you close up the walls and tuck the wiring away.

Go light on the glue

Thin layers dry cleaner and are much easier to correct if something shifts.
