Someone requested some Japanese style paper lanterns, so I threw some together:
Two different models. One long, one round. Comparable in size to the 2Fort lantern model. ~1000 polys, but the LOD of ~500 kicks in quickly at 12 pixel units.
Six textures at 512x512, self-illuminating. These work best if you turn off all shadows, make them non-solid, and then stick a light entity of a similar colour inside them with brightness of 8-10.
Readme available in download. Yes, you can use these in contests, but please give credit if you do.

DESCRIPTION:
* ~1060 polys
* LODs of ~500 @ 12 pixel units
* Textures are 512x512 w/ alpha
INSTRUCTIONS:
Unzip this archive to the "SteamApps\[USERNAME]\team fortress 2\tf\" directory and content should be placed automatically.
In a map, these work best if you disable the prop's shadows & self-shadowing, make the props NON-SOLID, and place a similarly
coloured light entity at their center with a brightness of ~8-10.
This is an original model created with XSI Mod Tool and Adobe Photoshop CS.
USAGE:
You are free to use this in any Team Fortress 2 map, including contest-related maps (if contest rules allow custom content).
Do not modify or redistribute without asking me first.
