After 3,5 years (!!!!) of pausing I reactivated my second lighthouse project. Steps in place on one side of the stairs.

You need for paper white glue because the other glues (CA, welder or plastic glue) not works.

Housing of the light. I decided to use ONE long bended transparent stripe instead of 8 sole pieces. Framing is of paper (kit part), painted white.

Base of the housing in place. Roof coming soon.

Illumination for the Lighthouse.

January 16, 2022
Two red and two white SMD LED‘s soldered to an array together.

January 16, 2022
I had to rework the circuit because I found that the 4017 could not provide enough current. Two BC-237 as amplifiers helps...
20
January 16, 2022
Each part of the superstructure has an inner x-shaped core. Because of that you have to watch out where you drill the holes for the wires. Every part has a special alignment: f.e. The red access door is on the right of the main door.

Enlarged opening in the floor of the light housing for fit with the LED’s.
24

Handrail: for better strength I drilled flat holes in the base (increasing of contact surface).

Completed electronic. I added furthermore two parts and realized current sources for both LED circuits. So is the current for both circuits independent from the battery voltage. 🙂

White pulse “long”.

One of the 3 short pulses in red. Unfortunately I found no exact information about the original pulse configuration during service… („Künstlerische Freiheit“🙂)

Looking very good! 🙂

Thank you Łukasz and Blaubar (Blaubär?)🙂
The kit is designed extraordinary. The original structure of the walls (6) consists 31 rows of wooden overlapped mounted panels. The kit provides a lot of small laser cut parts for each side. In the case of three sides you have to glue 31 rows. In the case of the three other sides with the door and windows they are more than 40 parts per side.... A lot of work!!!!

Yes, a lot of work - but that single plank brings a lot of realism! 👍 Nice to see the next lighthouse!

Very nice project indeed. Thanks for your input. Well, I tend to ignore Umlaute online so I demoted the Blaubär to a Blaubar, it makes it easier for our international folks.

Individual planks? Wow! Great work, Bernhard!

Yikes, you're back to it! 👍

Yep: individual planks (a lot of them

Moin Bernhard,
das Türmchen steht hier bei mir in Hamburg Wilhelmsburg. Soll ich am Wochenende mal ein paar
Walkaround Fotos machen?

Ja ja ja ja!🙂

Geht klar. 😉

Ohoo, schön dass es hier weitergeht. Dann lass mal ein Licht angehen ! 😄

A highly unusual subject coming along nicely. I am following with interest.

Interesting (and surprising topic 😉 )

Hi Bernard, I love this kind of kits.
Did some wooden Craftman kits myself in 1:87 when I also was (American) Railroading. I found it always very rewarding. Planning to put in a light?

Bernhard Schrock kirjailija
Sometimes the modeler needs a change to the rotors and propellers! I am pleased that you are also interested in this topic.
Lex: So far I haven't thought about the illumination but I think your idea is excellent!!🙂
I just put together the right electronic components in the basement.🙂

Very different for you Bernhard,totally agree though.

Let there be light ! This will be cool …..😄

Looking forward to the video of the light… I saw some plans recently for 3d printable 1:160 lighthouses that even had tiny transparent fresnel lenses.

Es werde Licht!

Would be nice if it had the same blinking rate as the real thing 😉

Following.. no idea where this is going, but I like it...

Und es wurde Licht…
Yesterday I managed the small etched board and soldered all parts. It works! Vis adjustable resistor it's possible to adjust the blinking frequency.

Sehr schön, mal was anderes, so ein Leuchtturm 👍

Very nice.

What a beautiful picturesque little scenery, the landscape complements the lighthouse perfectly, as it depicts
very realisticly the local vegetation at the Elbe riverbank in the vicinity of the german north sea coast.
Looks like summer ! 😄

Smart.

Oh this looks just great!

Beautiful! This lighthouse leads the way in modelling .......

Lex Jassies
Concrats Bernhard.......that's a very nice and picturesque diorama you have there 🙂
I looked at photo's of the real thing and I think you've nailed it. In real it's much smaller than I thought. Nice landmark.

There are already pictures of your model on the internet! Here fro example:

I read your comments with great pleasure gentlemen! Cardboard, paper and woodland scenic are so different in handling but if is so much fun! As a contrast the next project will need only rock, stones and maybe water…. Let's see how that works. 🙂
