3D model description
Complete N (1/160) scale model kit: Includes more than 28 different pieces, instruction booklet and templates.
The Craighill Channel Lower Range Light, also know as Miller's Island Light, is one of a pair of range lights that marks the shipping channel into Baltimore Harbour and it is the tallest lighthouse in Maryland.
Completed in early 1875, the lighthouse atop the granite piers is a four-sided pyramid with the keeper's house built inside the base of the framework. The one-and-a-half story wooden Victorian house with dormer windows makes it a focal point of the miniature.
The model was designed using pictures and detailed drawing of the actual building in scale 1/160 (N scale).
You can resize it using your favourite software before print, however, if you do so, some of the parts may lose stability or look overscaled.
Model has 28 different pieces that you need to assembly as any other model kit: I attached an instruction booklet together with the downloaded files. Printing, painting and weathering will give a lot of fun.
To complete the model you will need to cut out of cardboard 0.5mm thick the inner platforms and styrene (or wood) 1x1mm profile to super-detail the structure.
Template to cut to size all the pieces needed is provided.
If you have acces to a laser cutter, required SVG file has been included too.
This model can be a great addition to your layout or diorama.
Enjoy and happy printing!
