I started painting the lighthouse and the construction of the lamp in it.My aim from the beginning has been the potential of a bulb that will light. Installed the windows from clear plastic sheet with great care and soon it will be glued to the body of the lighthouse which is in the process of painting

The lighthouse was constructed by the plaster body which was molded in a plastic tube of the correct diameter.I opened the holes for the window and the door, created the texture of the stones and added all the necessary details. The top was done in the same way and then I added the columns that support the roof and the wind indicator with brass and plastic.

Summer in Bastia
This is my latest project.It's a diorama in 1/35 scale and it's about the Mediterranean fleet of pt boats docking in Bastia. Construction is 120x65cm and build with plaster board and pieces of plaster and wood(mainly balsa in various thickness)
The idea was given by the booklet that comes with the Italery kit of the 80feet elco pt boat. A photo showing the base in Bastia in Corsica during WWII gave me the spark to built this kit in grey colors and not in jungle green camo.
With little search I found photos of the harbor and decide to construct the last dock in the old harbor of the city with the green lighthouse. Measurements has taken and the project started.
