Moose-stake?


Among other various projects, it's about time I use the 3D printer to build a model. 

The image on the left is my rendition of the image on the right. It's Moose Peak Light Station on Mistake Island in Maine. I  only had two dimensions to work with, and photos online, so close enough is good enough for my application, considering there aren't many good lighthouse kits available. My plan is to print the major components in ABS plastic on my desktop 3D printer, and scratchbuild the rest of the details. I may use it to master a kit, either in resin, or a multimedia kit in resin and hydrocal. 

It may be something interesting to try with resin foam to keep the weight down.  We'll see.

Go build something awesome.
