Description

This is an HO scale representation of Peggy's Point Lighthouse, located in Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia Canada. Reportedly Canada’s most photographed lighthouse. Haven't been there but will visit soon hence the representation part. This was modelled using images from searches with some added touches so not quite a replica but close. If you look closely, you’ll notice the eave missing from the third floor window. There is a warning on the lighthouse - …savour the sea from a distance. More than once has a sightseer been unfortunate.

 

The windows and door are printed using matte and transparent pla. The light is also transparent PLA but will work with anything. The cupola is the only part that is a bit of a friction fit and the roof does require supports (sorry but they are easy to remove). It is delicate so try not to push down on the roof when inserting.

 

The rock base has two negative objects that I used to route wires for LEDs i installed, re-orient for your purpose or remove if not needed. The final plate is optional as it is used as a mask insert to keep the infill from showing if you plan to light the lighhouse. Masking tape also works well.

What did you use for the lighting? Cant seem to find anything that works good to get the top lit up as well.

Hi, I’m using micro leds, one white shoved into the bulb and a yellow at the base. I’ve also made a mini mount for the micro leds to install 4 and have them appear to rotate. Image posted in another comment here.

Timely question, I’m just upgrading the light now. In the photo I’m using two micro leds, one water white in the top and a dim yellow in the base. The top is sized to accept a 5mm standard led. I’ve also made a little shaft to mount 4 micro leds into a mini cupola bulb that is controlled by an arduino nano to cycle each light and ‘kind” of give the feel of rotation, still a little too snappy to be smooth but give another dimension for sure.. See attached photo of my bulb assembly. Thank you!
