3D model description

The first-order Bodie Island Lighthouse is located in the Outer Banks in the shore line of North Carolina. Surrounded by marshlands, maritime forest and saltwater ponds, this lighthouse is a picture-perfect for photographers and nature lovers.

The current lighthouse was built in 1871. An innovative technique was used for foundation with timber pillings below the ground with an octagonal base of granite blocks on top. The brick tower painted with black and white stripes sits on top and raises 164ft (50m).

This is one of the few lighthouses in the United States with an original first-order Fresnel lens.

Work to restore the lighthouse began in August 2009 and after significant delays, including the hit of Hurricane Irene in August 2011, final works were accomplished by march 2013.

Today, the lighthouse is open to visitors. Check out The Outer Banks

The model was designed using pictures and detailed drawing of the actual building in scale 1/160 (N scale).

You can resize it using your favourite software before print, however, if you do so, some of the parts may lose stability or look over scaled.

Model has 18 different pieces that you need to assembly as any other model kit: I attached an instruction booklet together with the downloaded files. Printing, painting and weathering will give a lot of fun.

Please note that the kit doesn't include roofing for the dwelling house ) part G16 which is to be done with styrene or cardboard 1mm thick.
I included a template in the instructions booklet

This model can be a great addition to your layout or diorama.

Happy modelling!

3D printing settings

  • Designed to be printed using SLA
  • L67 X W124 X H325 (mm)
  • The widest part measure 67x67 mm: Check your 3dprinter build volume
  • The kit has 18 parts: With the download you get both with and without supports.
  • Part G15 tower that corresponds to the top part of the tower is provided in two versions: With or without railing attached. The modeller should choose which version to print according to his/her techniques and preferences.
  • Roofing for the dwelling house (part G16) is **not provided*. I consider easier to get better results using styrene sheet or cardboard to build it: A template is provided. To texture it I used in my model roof slates texture from Redutex brand: code 160PC111
  • The supported files are not with the optimal printing orientation but with the optimal orientation according to minimize sanding and provided a perfect fit between parts. However, you can add supports according to your methods.
  • The kit part T1 LAMP correspond to the lamp and has to be printed in clear resin.
  • The kit has been designed to allow space for wiring in case you want to lighten with micro LEDs

My printing parameters:
-ANYCUBIC PHOTON MONO X
-Resin ELEGOO standard grey
-Layer height 0.050
-Exposure 1.9 s
-Bottom layer count 6 /25s

Happy modelling!
