Lighthouse island QR model
A lighthouse above the code. A rocky island below it.
Turn a destination into a red-and-white lighthouse on a layered rocky island. From above, the tower, island, and selected ground cells align as one QR code; from the side, it reads as a small coastal landmark.
Architectural profile
A vertical landmark that still respects the scan plane.
The tower provides a clear focal point without becoming a straight column wall. Its striped shaft, lantern room, shoreline, and rock terraces stay legible from the side while their upper surfaces contribute to the QR projection.
Tower
The lighthouse reads as architecture, not a stack.
A tapered shaft, alternating color bands, projecting lantern room, and darker roof break up the vertical form. Each detail stays below or within the controlled top projection.
Island
Layered rock gives the base a believable shoreline.
Grey and warm-stone terraces widen toward the bottom, with small green and water accents. Open areas remain available for the ground cells that complete part of the QR pattern.
Verification
Top view first, physical scan last.
Use the scan projection before ordering, keep the quiet zone unobstructed, and test the assembled model under the lighting where it will be displayed.
Build sequence
Plan the island from the scan plane down.
Encode the destination
Use a short URL or message for a manageable QR matrix.
Set tower height
Balance a strong coastal silhouette against the number of required layers.
Build by layer
Follow the PDF from rock base to lantern room, then scan the final top surface.
Lighthouse model FAQ
What to check before placing the first brick.
- Does the lighthouse tower alone form the QR code?
- No. The recommended design combines tower, island, and selected ground surfaces into one top projection.
- Why is the tower red and white?
- The striped palette makes the side profile read as a lighthouse. The actual QR contrast is controlled by the top cap colors.
- Can the tower be taller?
- Yes. Increase the layer control, then recheck stability, part count, and the side silhouette.
- What files can I download?
- A free PDF construction guide, general parts CSV, and LEGO Pick a Brick upload CSV.
