Once I heard of this contest, and after I got my Ghost SPAD out of my system, I settled in and built this great little lighthouse from Fiddler's Green.
I would have posted a whole bunch of build pictures, but I discovered after the fact that my SDHC card was corrupt, or has some other kind of technical issue, because none of the build photos were on it.
Rats.
I did some cool technique on this build, like laying down individual rows of shingles for the roof, and cutting out two layers of window frames, sandwiching pale yellow vellum in between, cutting out two layers of trim work to give it more dimension, cutting out all the spaces in between the mullions on the light, the rail, and that kind of thing.
All done on colored and textured card stock, and I even found out that with the vellum in the windows that it could be lit up. So I cut a hole in a piece of chipboard, mounted the model to it, and set it on top of a lamp.
Enjoy!
