Welcome to a bumper set of Modular Lantern parts designed for Chinese New Year and the Year of the Horse.

This set of parts and inserts works with all sizes of the lantern, Original, Medium and Tiny.

As well as the 10 inserts there are 6 different sized tops, 4 spacers, 3 skirts and 5 decorators for the very top of the lantern. You can use as many or as few of these as you wish depending how tall you would like your pagoda!

With the tops I suggest picking the size that gives you the amount of overlap you like over the lantern and then dropping down a couple of sizes at a time, ie A -> C -> E

All inserts work well without any of the new parts, A silk gold on red is a great choice:

A really quick start is with the Tiny Lantern, just add the new topper and skirt to instantly transform it:

With a Medium Lantern core and blank topper you can create the following just by stacking a couple of tops:

This is a stack of:

1. TDPD1 Decorator Aquarius Large (Plate 7)
2. Chamfered Blank (Plate 1)
3. TOPC1 Top Chinese Chamfered C (Plate 2)
4. TOPE1 Top Chinese Chamfered E (Plate 4)
5. Medium Chamfered Spacer (Plate 3)
6. Medium Chamfered Core (Plate 1)
7. SKGBM1 Medium Pergoda Skirt (Plate 9)

On plate 11 there are 4 spacers 10mm, 15mm, 20mm and 25mm high which can be placed between tops, you can optionally insert a panel from plate 19 into these:

Lets go large with the original size lantern:

From the top of the lantern this is a stack of: Top TOPA (Plate 1), Chamfered Cube Core, Top TOPCM (Plate 4), Spacer TPHHT1 25mm, Top TOPEM (Plate 5), Spacer TPHFT1 20mm, Topper TRKB1 (Plate 7), Decorator 4 Spheres TDPB1 (Plate 7), Original Size Chamfered spacer, Original Size Chamfered Core, Original Size Pagoda Skirt SKGB1 (Plate 10)

As always have fun experimenting, all these parts are compatible with other parts in the system, one of my favourite is the small Aquarius decorator on plate 7 which can be used on so many toppers:
