[MOC] NZ's Cape Reinga Lighthouse made for LEGO Masters NZ

[jp-30]

Some detail of New Zealand's Cape Reinga Lighthouse LEGO build I made for a huge architecture mashup centrepiece for Episode 1 of LEGO Masters NZ. Started off building a fully round one to have a play / test some concepts. Later the Brickmaster Robin Sather sketched out the footprint, so I scaled the build accordingly (1/2 a lighthouse to nestle up against the join between another Brick Builder Mark's Christchurch Cathedral and Auckland Ferry Building).

Lighthouse was designed and built by me, with some feedback along the way from Robin of course. I initially tried putting a rotating light inside, but was wisely told not to overcomplicate things, and we just used a simple flashing light in the end.
