More Lighthouses

Hello,

last days I finished some small lighthouses.
The first is St. Agnes Lighthouse of the Scilly Islands. This is a free download of Papershipwright and it's a really enjoyable build.

Greetings
Dieter

Again it's a free download of Papershipwright.

Nice builds -David has a good range of free to down load models to build up

Don't take up too much space either

Gribbin Head Daymark

Hi Miles and Tim, thank you.
@Miles: I used a part of plastic cover, used in offices to keep your letters or other papers in.

Hi all,
again a new lighthouse. Okay, it's not a lighthouse, but a daymark, a landmark or sign for the seamen to find a save harbour. It's the Gribbin Head Daymark in Cornwall (UK) and about 25m high. This one is also a free download from Paper Shipwright.

A fence around the tower is still missing, I'm thinking, how to make it.

Regards
Dieter

Burnham-on-Sea Low Lighthouse

Hi all,

one more: The Burnham-on-Sea Low Lighthouse shows the way to the harbour of Bridgewater in Somerset (UK).

It was built in 1932 and is still working. Again it's a free download of Paper Shipwright, the scale is 1:250.

Building was easy, all parts fit nicely together. It is a big fun to do these nice models. I'm sure there will follow some more.

Regards
Dieter

You have definitely mastered the art of Lighthouses!

I've know David H for more than 20 years - before he stated on lighthouses.

There's a small group in London who have dinner - now and again. The topic is generally models and David kept us up-to-date on his progress with Trinity House - the government office responsible for almost all the lighthouses in the UK. He had to get their written permission to make the kits.....

A few years ago my daughter was sent a postcard from Burnham - with a picture of the lighthouse and she sent me a scanned copy - she knows David. I sent the picture to David and within a few hours - he'd made the kit!

As your pictures show - his crisp computer style is just right for Lighthouses.

He has permission to make kits of all the Lighthouses, I look forward to seeing more of your models in the future !!

Cheers

Mike

Hi Mike,

thank you for the background of this nice model. And my best regards to David, when you see him next time.

Hi all,

this time I start with a lighthouse of the other kind: The Lightfloat No. 3 from Paper Shipwright. This one replaced a manned fireship. The scale is 1:250 and it has to be printed on a single sheet of DIN A4 paper.

First I started with the skeleton of the float.

Regards
Dieter

Very nice builds. Does the Gribbin Head light have its fence yet? The lightfloat is an interesting model. Do you have plans for a display base to show it off on?

Hi Don,
thank you. I didn't finish the fence now, I have to buy some pieces of clear overhead plastic sheet, then I will print the fence on it. I will show a picture here of the completed tower.

Hi all,
some more steps with the light float: the main hull is attached. Even with it's curved forms it fits nicely together.

Regards
Dieter
