March 12, 2023Core of thick yellowish cardboard coated with structured white thin cardboard.4
March 12, 2023Glued with thinned white glue.5
March 12, 2023As with the last three lighthouse projects, I will not use acrylic paints but will work with Humbrol and Airbrush.6

March 13, 2023Plattform glued temporarily with 4 small blobs of white glue for installing of the 12 support arms. The support arms glued only to the platform, not to the tower.8
March 13, 2023It worked well: Plattform removed without mess. Will be separately primed and airbushed. Priming is necessary because the parts are made of thick porous and absorbent cardboard.9

June 29, 2023After completing an another modeling project I continued the work on my actual lighthouse.17
June 29, 2023As usual I used for all windows ONE bended clear part stripe for better handling and strength.18
June 29, 2023Instead wire I used 0,4 mm plastic round rod. Painting coming at next.19
June 30, 2023The lighthouse does not stand exactly horizontal but on a meadow sloping slightly to the sea (see next picture, Wiki commons) Therefore, I cut into the part represented the concrete slabs a hole.20
