About 2 years ago now when I first got on line, I saw instructions
from someone for a lighthouse MOC. I remember that it was big, red and
white and slightly connical though made with mostly 2X bricks. I don't
have the URL anywhere. You might try searching for lighthouse and lego
together. I think I remember that there were lots of separate pages
for the instructions. I don't think it had a real light or anything. I
also think I remember that it was posted by someone from Europe. I
know it required lots of bricks.
