I'd love to see a light-ship, especially one with a working light.

Question to the shipwrights or lighting gurus: Has any one ever attempted to mod such a ship?? Is there any interest??

The community's been prioritizing warships and -planes over eye-candy.

Its not eye-candy as you call it. It would be a new merchant.

Not really a new merchant as it would look silly in the middle of a convoy so its really eye candy for ports
Still a great idea though

I was going to start kitbashing one out of the Tugboat tonight, but I am having problems with Wings3d. I have started an appropriate thread asking for advice on what went wrong.

Here is a nice pic of a lightship that was built in Australia in 1913 and was removed from service in 1983!!

bookworm_020,

Just curious, do you know of any lightships still in use in your area?? If i remember correctly, the ones here (at least in north carolina) were phased out. I believe the diamond shoals and frying pan shoals ones were replaced by modified derricks with light towers in the 60's and 70's.
