This Part 30 of a series of a fair few posts, Part 1 (link here) gives an overview and the philosophy applied to the series – cheap, simple and fun. I have also added a section with links to all the other posts in the first one. Today will be the last entry as I plan to do an overview presentation of what has been done to date tomorrow.
I grew up in the Village of Sågmyra in Sweden and the picture below show the main building and the Belfry. I was baptized in that Church and I always liked the look of it, not as intimidating as other churches. The Belfry was built after WW2 but serves as an example of many similar ones that would have existed during the WW2 era.
They are very common in the region and if you Google “Klockstapel Dalarna”, you will find may varieties (the one burning is Swedish, but not from Dalarna, it burnt down 4 years ago).
Anyway, here is my version (not a copy but like more “heavily inspired by”).
I think you get the gist from the pictures, I am using techniques already shown in previous episodes – base material is nylon floor tiles, then clad with coffee stirrers, cut lengthwise. Some cardboard for the shutters. I made it to fit the base size I used for the other items made as part of the project.
So final spend rounded up at £25.
See you for tomorrow’s finale..

WOW! This is an amazing piece!
The game I am working on is taking place in fictionalized Poland, but I think I will just “steal” this Swedish design. The Polish village belfries are either very simple wooden structures OR more ornamental brick/stone ones (usually in larger / more prosperous villages/towns) – both are not really what I am going for with this built… and after all, it is more of a Imagi-nation game, so I can use so Swedish architecture…after all, Sweden is not *that* far 😉
Looking forward to what you’re going to make tomorrow, because to me this is the pièce de résistance of this series 🙂

Thanks Fred, happy you liked it. I am actually doing nothing tomorrow, just taking a few pictures of the clutter I have already built.

Just seen the post – love seeing it all together! I really should dedicate some time to getting my table re-cluttered, as I was lazy this October… but hey, at least I got some vinyl tiles for basing inspired by your posts!
Do you also use the vinyl tile for the large bases? Like the one under the main house – it seems to extend quite far and makes for an amazing backdrop. I want to try some bigger boards like that, but I am a little concerned of warping (started with some hardboard for a large barn and it warped like crazy 😮 )

Yes I used them for what I call the Farm tiles, they are brilliant, I tend to make bases that I place item on top on, not glue them down, I store them flat and then I bend them in shape if the warp a little bit (just ground covering on them).
