Lighthouse / Mac Tower model kit

Many moons ago, F&F were commissioned by the Lighthouse to produce a model kit of the original Mackintosh designed building - which was once the home to the Glasgow Herald. Sadly, the Lighthouse no longer sells these kits, but I'm happy to announce I now have a limited number of the kits available for sale, and only available directly from F&F - from the

website

, our

Etsy shop

, or even straight from the workshop door.

The kit includes a timber roof for the tower - produced by my dad, no less! - intricate etched details on the facades, and of course comes with comprehensive instructions and a wee tube of glue. When built, it stands at about 20cm/8" high. While more complex than the tenement kit, it does not take any special skills or tools to complete, just a little patience!

New stockists, old stockists....

Just a wee note to say F&F are very happy to be selling model kits through the National Theatre bookshop in London - so all you Londoners, go along and check them out!

In addition, the Lighthouse Mack shop is up and running again, although it may be in a slightly depleted form at the mo. However, they still have some of the model kits of the original Mackintosh Herald building model kits that we made a couple of years ago, that some people have been asking for. The Lighthouse is the only stockist of this kit (we don't even have any!) so if you're after one, that's where to go!

In other news, things seem to be picking up again in the modelmaking world after a quiet summer, any pics that we've got of new work will be here first....

The Lighthouse Shop

Just a wee note to say that the Lighthouse Shop has ceased trading. The Lighthouse continues to be open for exhibitions, and I think the Doocot cafe is still open, but the shop is either temporarily or permanently closed (who knows...?)

So, y'know, don't go there to try getting one of our products. You'll be disappointed.
