Many of them like candle holders, so I decided to build one with the Wizard Tower and the main mold. I had to figure out how to make the candlelight able to spread, and a removable top to let the candle heat out when it is in use. I used dark grey excaliber for the bricks and scupltey to make the flame. The glass votive holder is a $.99 holder from the craft store. I designed the building around the holder to make sure I had the right size of the building and the windows. One advantage of this design was that I managed to use up all the extra 3/4" blocks from the wizard mold. I painted the whole thing with the basic 3 tones grey method and detailed the demon supports in gold and painted the flame.

Well built and original.  Aug. 23, 2004, 01:17PM  By: BRIGUY385 Great paint job and very tight construction. I don't see why this couldn't be used as a type of beacon for wargaming also. very nice versitle piece. Brian  Aug. 22, 2004, 12:25PM  By: LAGUZ Snuffer lid? I thought about that after I made the holder. Have not figured out a good solution yet though. If it was more of a closed in container it should be fairly easy. Or maybe build the snuffer into the lid, so it drops down over the candle.  Aug. 21, 2004, 11:23AM  By: MALARKEY nicely done! I'm sure your friends appreciate this thoughtful gift :D  Aug. 21, 2004, 09:09AM  By: BOSSMAN A basic idea but very functional. Can a version be made that will extinguish the candles when the lid is set in place?  Aug. 18, 2004, 05:46PM  By: DNDOPMAN I really like this piece. It's a neat idea and it looks good too. Didn't care much for the gold faces but that's just a personal thing. Overall a great job!  Aug. 17, 2004, 11:58PM  By: YASSINE nice little piece !
