la grande homme Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hello folks, looking for some 1/25 scale theatre lanters - have seen them on (for example) a model of a stage / truss that was being sold with some Kiss dolls on Ebay recently but have seen others at various shows / open days that involve modelboxes and wondered if anybody knew of anyone who makes 'em?

slim_mcslim Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 You could get some full size lights and then borrow the machine from honey I shrunk the kids and make them the size that you need, hell why not go the whole hog and just shrink a real theatre, saves on model building time... paul...

peter Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 We use Par 16s with profile adaptors to emulate the effect of various fixtures in our low voltage rig at RWCMD, but they are still pretty wide angle and obviously the fixtures themselves are much bigger than 1:25. They're good for giving the effect of groups of lanterns though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Do they need to work? If not, you could make your own from Balsawood and metal strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDD Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 We use Par 16s with profile adaptors to emulate the effect of various fixtures in our low voltage rig at RWCMD<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember them! Although when I was there the "profile adaptors" consisted of a roll of blackwrap round each birdie. Looked ridiculous but just about got the job done... ish quite cool and this may very well be what you are looking for<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nice, but blooming expensive!

the kid Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 If you want to buy them, you could buy the kiss doll and canabalise the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
