Adding ornaments and lanterns

Added 2019-12-09 16:25:59 +0000 UTC

To finally improve the upper wagon I added ornament strips, which you can optionally glue around the "box" shape and just with that I think it looks so much better!

I then wanted to have a lantern option. For placement you could position them on the top in the corners or around the sides. I have reused the lamp I designed for the street lamppost and added a mounting section. So you have white light but also (as shown) orange/red, blue and green light versions.

Here's what it looks like when put together. The lighting effect is photoshopped in but I am pretty sure I will soon see pics with someone putting LED lights in.

You could improve the flat texture more with doubling up on the sides and on top but my shoulder is acting up so I am going to lock the build down for now and start working on getting the wagon into release shape. I want to add some color variations for DELUXE edition and maybe some subtle weathering.

EDIT: As requested the unedited version :-)
