See cgtrader.com for Edmund Faulke he designed the North Carr LightShip

RodC, I like the video in your post. The fading in and out of the LED set is pretty realistic. As for a lightship the Nantucket LV-117 is neat looking and has some history behind it. It was in a collision with the White Star liner Olympic. Plenty of photos and drawings out there with enough info to make a nice scratch built model. There are some kits floating around but at 1/96 scale they are kind of small.

That NORTH CARR lightship is very interesting, i would like to build something along the same lines. I dont think we hav any lightships here (Canada). Do you hav any supplementary pix?
For our "light up the night" events here at Spencers Pond (Burlington) & Lakefront Promenade (Mississauga) i built a floating offshore rig & hav just started a lighthouse on a (floating) island. The lightkeeper's mansion is a cottage-like birdfeeder (close to G-scale), from Princess Auto. That saves a lot of structure building. The lighthouse is built primarily from bits of wooden items from DOLLARAMA. I shall edit to post pictures after they are both assembled.
The offshore rig is based on the tiny picture of a rig on a model boat pond somewhere in UK, I dont recall where, its at least a year since i captured it.

I looked at pix of a dozen lighthouses we hav on Lake Huron & freelanced it. Shall hav a pulsating LED beacon to simulate a rotating light.

While we are not in Scotland now, we had Edmund Faulks and Anne Whittaker, come to lunch in our home today here in Port Perry, Ontario 🇨🇦

You may recall, Edmund is an excellent model boat builder who uses 3D printing and is very active in the Dundee Model Boat Club, established 1885.

Most of the club’s Facebook Group posts feature his models. He told me, “If you search cgtrader.com for edmundfaulkes or HMS Sheffield, or HMS Amethyst or HMS Ton or North Carr, you will see my 4 ships that I'm selling on there at the moment. The Sheffield has had 60,000 views on Facebook in the last 4 hours and almost 2000 likes and 100 comments. Popular!!”

We were guests in their home when we visited Scotland just a few weeks ago.
Knowing they would be coming through this area on Ontario, we were thrilled to have them here.

In the harbour of Caol is a wreck on the beach. Folklore has it there’s gold in the hold say the school kids…Probably rats too.

We are not that far from you at the moment as we are doing a cruise around the Norwegian Fiords to celebrate my wife's upcoming birthday. Taken a few nice photographs but not many of boats worthy of showing compared with you guys!

This is the view from our balcony on one of the stops.

Moved along to Fort William along the Neptune Stairway set of locks.

I walked up to the top and photographed a few boats for everyone.

We took the train to Glenfinnan to see the old steam train crossing the viaduct a6 km walk/hike. Then we boarded the train to Malliag where we toured them museum where I photographed several model fishing boats called Drifters from the Herring fishing fleets.

They also had a large SNLI model. I know these are a favourite of many of you.

So you’re in Kirkwall now Ron👍
Not far from Scapa Flow. I'm jealous!
Nice digs😉
