Lighthouse Model Construction (Back View) 5

View from the ocean side. This shows the 'storybook' stylized gradual curved taper of the tower, unlike a typical lighthouse which has a straight slope (its subtle in the photos, more obvious in person). The brackets at the top receive the stone handrail that travels around the glass windows, & the dome above.

 

The balcony around the base ends behind an octangular bay window (right). It will have a 'witches cap' roof that ties into the crooked curved roof behind it. The intent is for the stylized roof of the house to somewhat wrap the tower as if it was growing thru the roof.

 

These are all very early progress photos.
