[SR-FB] Poppy Port Lighthouse - "Rocky Reef's Light"

[Bart]

 

 

 

Dr. Anderson and James are visiting the new light house on Rocky Reef, just offshore of Poppy Port. 

James: So do this horses have to walk around all night?
dr. Anderson: No no, they just lift the weight, and then the weight will drop slowly over night to rotate the glass and mirror.
James: ah nice, and what is that red flag about?
dr. Anderson: Could be a storm warning, but as you can see by the clear skies, I think this is a warning that Pirates hunters have been spotted. 

If I designed it well, the mirror and glass will rotate when the horses do, at the same time lifting the weight. and when the horses 'rest' the weight drops to rotate the mirror some more. If the speed regulator inside the house works as I thinks it does, I cannot tell from LDD, but immagine it does :D

Great to have you back Bart.

The lighthouse looks really good, and the fact that it has a rotating mechanism makes it even better, and I like that flag too.

Very curious about the rotating machanism, I could not see the specifics from the photo but a very keen idea nonetheless. Nice design of the tower on top of the building, you combines structure and the  'pirate chaos' very well in this build

I like this one... and especially the rotating mechanism, really well rendered...

 

The red flag is here to inform holydays maker that the sea is quite hazardous ?

I will wait for the green one before swimming !

Thanks, The design of the build was also non existing, helping a lot in the chaotic behavour of the building.
I'll see if I can get a screen shot of the gears and explain how they work.
