Was expecting that LED to light up during the final reveal.

It was, unfortunately not visible because of video production efforts - filming in slow-motion requires a lot of light, enough to wash out the low glow from the led.

Wiping away the unneeded mortar from your brickwork was incredibly satisfying. Another great video, thank you Alex.

A lighthouse like this, surrounded by marshland, with no coast in sight, would be a great little self-contained narrative piece for A War Transformed, the WW1 Doggerland game!

It’s going to go on my 6x4 foot table that I’m building for A War Transformed (there is a playlist)

Very lovely lighthouse, the architecture style reminds me of lighthouses around the Baltic Sea. Also, for anyone's future reference, there are lighthouse LED modules and kits that mimic the light flashes of many automatic lighthouses.

Ok, so the flickering LED is actually brilliant. Maybe it went unnoticed or maybe it was a deliberate attempt to get engagement. Either way, it was pretty moody and I liked it!

Loved the video and build! Had not thought about using airdrying clay in that way with white glue. 😁

This looks great and not as brain breaking as Leif's (Dev&Dice) brick work that would surely damn a lesser soul. 😁

Thanks as always! And I know, I truly admire Leif for his patients with the foam bricks.

Looks great. Low effort for high impact. A couple of barrels or crates, or an upturned row boat on one side of the privy might make it look less tacked on, by breaking up the boxy silhouette a bit. I'd be tempted to add a bird's nest or trailing plants in the cannon hole too!

Ironically the real world learning I was doing (and happy to be distracted from) when I saw the notification for this pop up related to mortar types for lighthouses...(Add some crushed blue lias limestone to the mix for added hydraulic properties -I'm v much in demand at parties) Nice to see a variety of hobby scenery making techniques on display. I found das clay can warp a bit while drying but it looks like you got this variant to work for you. Into the AM do plaid, you say?

Hi Alex, finally Nice Alex is back, making us all happy with a new project, very interesting job, sometimes I think that when we, mini painters and diorama makers, look at things, we see something that people around us can't. I'm thinking of doing something like a sewer, do you think that the GSW rolls would work as well?

@52Miniatures

Nice Alex is back! Let’s hope he stays around. A long time back I did some houses (there is a video somewhere) I rolled GSW pins in Das clay and used that for exterior walls. I remember it being a bit more messy with rollers, having to use a lot of water to not get them to stick. Some other lubricant might be better.

All hail the You Tube algorithm gods. And the lighthouse keepers.

@4:55 My lawnmower is currently being held in contempt, in my shed. For years now, the lawnmower has refused to apologise for its blatant disregard of being a petrol-based model. I know it wants to come out and play. I remember fondly of the clean lines I violently provoked in the grass. Oh bummer, now I am reminiscing of the smell of carbon monoxide, wafting from beneath me as I shred yet another over-population of daisies 🌼within the local quarter acre community. Maybe the lawnmower has learned its lesson. Maybe, just maybe, even though it hasn't said sorry, patient silence is its way of apologising, showing it understands its error of judgement. I really liked your info on cracking vs drying time. Great video, thanks! 👍

Just as a personal remark. Content on KZread is free and hobby content on our scale is very much created not for monetary gain. Creators put a lot of work and effort into creating free content for people like you. There is a lot of it out there too. When you put a lot of work into something, it feels rather crap when someone says, “you suck”. You are definitely entitled to your opinion opinion but instead of crapping on a hard working creators day - go somewhere else if you don’t like it. Find a creator you like instead and support them. I think most creators would appreciate this approach
