MarketPlace Showcase F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 08 3:01 pm)
What a beautiful model, Dan. You've really caught the lonely atmosphere of the place. It's a pretty specialist model. Is it on CD only because of size? I know the feeling when you get to modelling something very dear to you_ its tempting to recreate it in all its detail_ that's fine for you're own personal use_ but unless its for a virtual film set most hobbyists won't need that degree of detail. I wouldn't want to tread on CastleDev toes but have you thought about marketting it with Turbosquid_ you'ld have to do it in other 3d formats but you could legitimately on that site sell it the much higher price that such a lovely model deserves!

Attached Link: Toledo Harbor Lighthouse
Toledo Harbor Light -- Built from March, 1901 to November, 1903. Cost $100,000. Light first exhibited on May 23, 1904. Currently still active and listed on the Register of Historic Places.Toledo Harbor Light -- When I was a kid, my father and I would go out in his boat an fish for walleye right next to this place. I have always thought is was the coolest, most exotic building there is. And it sits 12 miles out in Lake Erie all by itself. In reality, it's all boarded up and looking a little worse for wear. The lens that I show is gone and replaced with a modern optic. The clerestory windows over the fog machinery area have been closed off and made into vents with drooping hoods. The fog horns were removed years ago. The railing has all been swept away by ice. The piles of concrete blocks are put there to protect the building from ice in the winter.
Just to show you how detail oriented I am, the kitchens on the front of the building (the paired windows) are complete with appliances and dishes. And the rooms all have radiators in their appropriate places. And the doorknobs have keyholes. I have a tendancy to get carried away with the details
