Old Collingwood Posted February 6, 2021 Share #91 Posted February 6, 2021 Great work Denis, looks very complicated - to me it looks like it takes another level of skill to combine a static display into a functioning one by means of the light units and wiring.

Canute Posted February 6, 2021 Share #92 Posted February 6, 2021 Nicely done Denis. There are just so many different configurations for lighthouses. Yours is a beauty. The lighting will really enhance it. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack12477 Posted February 6, 2021 Share #93 Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Nice job Denis ! Looks very realistic. Great addition to your model collection. Just an FYI: the area with the light in it is called "the lantern room", the floor immediately blow that is called "the watch room". If you ever get to Baltimore, go tour the Seven Foot Knoll screwpile lighthouse they have displayed on one of the piers in their Inner Harbor tourist area.

popeye the sailor Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share #95 Posted March 4, 2021 a wee bit further........the antenna was rigged the other day. I got a winding bale of thin wire....thin enough for what I need to do. can't really tell you how thin it is......thickness of dog hair perhaps. but it looks great on the antenna...... I painted it flat black afterwards......I also glued the tiny eye bolts in the dingy.......and that's about what I've done . more soon Canute, gjdale, GrandpaPhil and 6 others 9 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
