Torches
The diorama has four torches. The torches consist of flickering LEDs scavenged from electronic tea candles. The torches are made from stained dowls chained to a backboard. A second dowl is used to seat the LED. The LED has wires running inside the support chains to backboard and through the wall. The torches are then wired into a switch box.
The Monster
Every castle deserves a monster and that is what we have here. The monster is a mystery McDonalds toy wrapped in surgical tape (not that a real monster wouldn't be wrapped in surgical tape.). The tape has been painted with UV paint for added effect. The monster lies on a segmented slab atop a simple wooden frame.
Plasma Disk
"Lightning bolts on a dish" could be used to describe this staple of mad scientist lighting effects. In this case, the effect is supplied by a "Plasma Disk" device sold as a rave accessory. On the back is a belt clip, which is used to attach thin plastic sheets for anchoring in the castle window. Even without a diorama, everyone needs one.
