More Lighthouse pics

I am adding a few more pictures of my lighthouse along with some accessories I'd like to use.  The bell will become a foghorn once I paint it gray but I'm not sure about the seagulls yet- they may be out of scale.  Also, there is a harpoon that I just had to have.  I am very anti-whaling but since this was a part of American history, I will be using it.

This last picture show a quilt that I will be putting on the bed once I make one that is to scale.  It is from one of the first swaps I ever participated in ( AOL miniatures group) and an international one at that!  Each swapper sent several pieces of fabric to a central point and on one of the pieces, we signed our name, where we were from and the date- 1999.  Three of the swappers were from Australia and another from the U.K.  It is one of my most favorite swaps.

My Lighthouse

"The Lighthouse at Gavin's Bay" (named after one of my grandsons) was a dream to put together.  All the pieces were there, they all fit, and very little sanding was needed.  The only drawback was that it was very heavy.  I decided not to get the lightkeeper house but instead made the first two floors as the residence.  The top floor is the "base of operations".

The upper right hand picture shows the only thing I added to the light deck, a trap door.

  

This is the top floor, the operations center. The desk and chair are made from a punch out kit but I made the workbench.  For the pegboard, I used perforated paper.  I still have to add some maps, charts, a new ladder to the light deck and maybe a cozy rug or two.  

If there is something else you think I should add, please leave a comment and let me know.

I will be adding more picture soon, so please stop by.
