Architecture implementation.

A very quick summary of the construction of these scale model of
lighthouses, according to plans and documents kindly
provided by the lighthouse and beacon subdivisions.


It all starts with a sheet of white expanded rigid PVC
2 millimeters thick to make the towers and very thin 
transparent sheets, also in PVC, for the majority of the details and for most  details and for the lanterns, as basic materials.

These materials are cut by hand with a surgical scalpel,in order to obtain an extremely fine and precise cut, then assembled with "cyanolite " glue (super glue)
and sanded with a nail file, simply in order to obtain the final
A lot of patience and dexterity, of course.

Implementation of the marine site.

 

The rocks are sculpted using dentist's tools, in plaster previously cast in the steel support, then painted.

The sea is represented by inclusion resin, poured on a sanded background, coloured and then worked, during the polymerization.

All the colours are made from natural pigments.
