Hey SufferinSimon would like to see your light if you did end up making one.

And I have been making balsa planes as of late.
As I was doing this I remembered making these long ago and the steps needed to finish these.

It came to me that many of the things you do to make these are helpful techniques that you also use in making tiki lights.

Mostly the tissue paper that you add to the outside of the plane, this shows you how to line a basket well.

Then you paint the tissue on the plane with Dope a kind of paint for these planes you can't even find dope in the few hobby stores as so few people do this anymore.

Soooo if you have kids or even you may want to do this to learn a few things yourself it can help you in other ways in your life.

I know not tiki but kind of.
