Paperpino's Christmas lamp

Well, it's not Christmas, it's not even close... anyway, here it is!
A wonderful lamp (not because I built it ), I enjoyed so much building it. A very nice Pino's creation.

Some notes:
  • thanks to Philip I "discovered" the alcoholic glue (like UHU Power), it really does not warp the paper!!! Laminating it's cool! But I have to pay very attention not to overflow the margins, because it dirties more than PVA.
  • I reinforced the internals as Styrian does with his architectural building.
  • I had to print two more squares, missing in the original template, unless Pino wanted an open top. The 240 gsm paper I used is not enough to maintain the necessary strength. The LED light bulb I chose does not heat up so much.
  • I weighed a little the base, to prevent the electric cord flexibility overturning the lamp.
  • I tied the cut cotton sheath with common whippings to prevent it from fraying.
  • It would have been better to insert a cardboard stanchion inside the base through the stem, because the base/stem junction is quite weak (I didn't do it).

Very nicely done. The extra effort you put into it was well worthwhile.
