Core of thick yellowish cardboard coated with structured white thin cardboard.

Glued with thinned white glue.

As with the last three lighthouse projects, I will not use acrylic paints but will work with Humbrol and Airbrush.

Plattform 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.

It 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.

Offwhite instead snow white (60%H22 and 40%H34 and a bit of black).

After completing an another modeling project I continued the work on my actual lighthouse.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/4/5/0/1500450-14143-33-720.jpg)
As usual I used for all windows ONE bended clear part stripe for better handling and strength.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/4/5/2/1500452-14143-50-720.jpg)
Instead wire I used 0,4 mm plastic round rod. Painting coming at next.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/0/0/2/1501002-14143-21-720.jpg)
The 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.

![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/2/6/7/1501267-14143-92-720.jpg)
Nearly completed minus a handful parts (pipes and a “spear” on the top of the tower).

Glad to see that it continues!
Last week I have see all those light houses at Super Hobby with 12% discount, and available again. But I could resist, because I really have enough to do in my stash.
