I modified the upper part, which is why I had to make a simple interior with a bell, I added a cross and I made a simple pad.

Wonderful thread. And the bell tower is an impressive landmark, especially being so old wooden structure. By the way, all the village of Vlkolinec is an absolutely amazing place!

The Timoney Bell (Lahardane, Ireland)

Scale : 1:?
Author : Zax
Source : author's model

We have Easter here and at the same time today we commemorate the 110th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, so I prepared something special ... and why Timoney Bell?



... a few words about the original:
Timoney Bell was donated to St. Patrick's Church in Lahardan in 1940 by the great Gaelic scholar Michael Timoney. Today, the bell is the focal point of the annual # Addergoole14, which takes place every year on April 15. The bell rings in memory of 14 passengers from the parish of Addergoole who were on the RMS Titanic when it sank.

I built this model myself according to a few photos I found on the net. (mostly taken from the video) Since everything is done just by guessing it didn't turn out so bad even though there are bugs ... it's a completely colored model, I tried to keep the proportions and as much detail as possible of the original-details on the functional parts of the bell tower, reliefs on the pillars, bells ... there are 14 lanterns that are used in the real ceremony ... in conclusion,
I just wish everyone a pleasant Easter well-being in the circle of family and loved ones... a few photos :

There is a bell from the Baroque period, from 1782 by Ján Juraj Knobloch from Banská Bystrica. National cultural monument declared in 2000. Photo of the real building:

Chapel of St. Joseph (Czech republic)

Chapel of St. Jozefa is a niche chapel from the beginning of the 19th century in the local part of Chotěbořice. Photo of the real building:



The model was published in the Kestřanské kaplnky notebook, which contains 6 chapels plus 2 variants, so a total of 8 chapels can be built. I started with the chapel of St. Joseph. It's a small model with a few parts, so I added at least a door according to a real model and a figurine.

My edits:
I added a door according to the real model, including locks, a figure and I made a simple pad. A few photos:
