Howard, I'll be in touch with you about acetate. I think my next project (among many non putz related projects) will be a model of my daughter and son in law's house. It might make a nice Christmas gift. This is addicting! And I look forward to any info on photographing.

Deb, I was cutting teeny tiny strips of white paper for the windows, which was actually working, when my husband had a better idea. He ran them off on the computer in a couple of minutes and we printed them on vellum. He used a free program called Sketch Up. The only problem I can see is I can't print them in white.

Lucy, my porch started out pretty wobbly, but Aileen's Tacky Glue eventually takes hold and it's pretty sturdy now.

Laurie, it is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.

All I can say is... AWESOME! Wow, I have been wanting to build a lighthouse for some time now. I think this project of yours tipped me over the scales. Beautiful job Laurie!

Like Will, I too have longed for a putz lighthouse. I saw one on ebay years ago and saved the photo, then drew a potential template. That was so long ago I don't know what became of it. Such a fantastic job Laurie! I WANT ONE!

here's a article on building a lighthouse...it might be of some help if you're thinking about building your own...

Hi Laurie another great job on both pieces. You did an outstanding job on the lighthouse. The painting is perfect, I love there is a light and the push pin is right on! The dimensions look perfect always something I struggle with but you nailed!

Good luck this weekend selling your Halloween houses!
