Day5: Storm Lantern

Day 5 and I got to do my Storm Lantern! Had one of these as a kid, was actually really fun to use when we had power cuts.  I remember being a little intrigued at the circular wick holder.  Seemed like a strange shape given the more tube like shape of every other part of the lantern.  Got to try out the extrude along curve tool for the wires on this one.  I had tried this in Max before and it does work I just find it a little easier in Maya.  Wish I had more time on this one, would have been really cool to model the wires crossing around the glass, or to add the holes to the very top part! but I was racing against the clock at the end!
