FGMM - Nubble Light - Cape Ned***** ME
My wife's mom and step-dad own a cottage in Maine and are big lighthouse aficionados (they were married at Pemaquid Lighthouse) so I figured while on vacation and staying a few days with them at the cottage, I'd thank them with a lighthouse model from Maine. FG has a nice model of Nubble Light that I printed the small version of, to adorn the mantle alongside their collection of other plastic and wooden lighthouse models.
After building the three main parts of the model (house, light, and walkway), I needed to build a base as the light sits higher than the house so wouldn't sit flat on a surface. Using model railroad grass sheet and 1mm card (comic book backer board), I scratched together a nice little base and affixed the model's title plaque to the front. This was about a day's work on and off.
And some detail shots:
