Well, I wanted to create a web page at some point but in the meantime I
figured I'd start posting some of my older creations on Brickshelf.  This,
as the subject suggests, is the Portland Head Lighthouse.  My grandpa really
likes lighthouses so I thought I would build his favorite one for him.  I
guess it's kind of hard to judge the size but the lighthouse itself stands
about 2 1/2 feet tall.  I also included a picture of the actual lighthouse
as a reference.  Please let me know what you think as this is my first
creation posting!

P.S.  If you think it sucks, feel free to say so!

(...) really (...) step the bricks a little more on the lighthouse tower to make it rounder. I think a good way to see how to make circles with bricks is to draw circles in M$ Paint with the same dimensions in pixels as your circle is in bricks. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

That looks really great Jason! I see that I have some new, local competition on making buildings! Good! I really like the use of detail and color. Can you transport it? Do you think you can bring it to the next meeting? Brad Jason Sutherland (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
