Hello, Dorothy!

 

I built the Fiddlers Green Montauk lighthouse a few years ago, but without
reduction, and I thought it came out fairly well, not too many small parts.
I don't know how kit would fare at a very reduced scale, but given what I
recall the assembly uses fairly large parts which might not be too much of a
hassle even at a smaller reduction.  They have a good selection of different
lighthouse, one of which might be what you are looking for:

Hope this helps!

 

Cheers!

Jim

Subject: [Papermodels II 41486] I'm looking for a rather specific model

 

I work mostly in 1/144 scale making and furnishing houses and buildings, but
they're always set in rather large elaborate scenes.  Right now I'm working
on an extensive beachfront scene. It will have several buildings, but only
the main house will be furnished. One of the bedrooms will be a young boy's
room, decorated in a nautical theme. I'd like to make a lighthouse to stand
in the corner of his room that will serve as the main light source for his
room. It will be wired with a tiny LED in the top portion of the lighthouse
(which will be made with a transparency to resemble glass). I'm looking for
a model of a lighthouse that, when completed, would be no more than about an
inch tall. In this scale, even that is really large - 3/4 inch would be even
better. The room will be done in mostly reds and blues so a lighthouse that
could coordinate with that would be wonderful. Does anyone out there have
anything that would even come close to what I'm looking for. I can resize if
necessary, but I need one that really doesn't have many parts that when
converted to this size would be too tiny to manipulate. I'm good at working
with tiny pieces, but even so, some paper models have pieces that are almost
too small when they're made full size.
