Electrical Materials and figures

Wiring up some electrical functions are completely optional in this tutorial. I will show you how to add a light to your scene. If you choose to add this option these are the materials you will need.

• Electrical tape
• soldering pencil
• solder
• needle nose pliers
• small push button switch
• wire
• lights
• 9 volt battery (this works well to activate the light I have selected. You should choose a battery that works for the light you have selected.)

Here is a random set of miniature figues and Items I have chosen for display purposes. Your figures will be different depending on the scene you will create. The scene in this tutorial has three skeletons, one wizard and a treasure chest.

You now have all the materials you need to create your scene. Lets continue on to chapter 2 " The concept, design, and layout of your diorama".
