A whole new ball game for me, i'am used to heating up chunks of iron a thrashing them with big hammers. I look a these and think where the F..k do i start. With this stuff if you cut it short you can't weld a bit on.

Fits the criteria for the Smile on Saturday challenge - always easy to tell the time on Rochester High Street with our super-sized clock. And as a bonus there is a row of chimney pots in the background.
Happy Smile on Saturday - think I've "captured the C"

Besides photography, building clocks is my favorite hobby. Sampling of clocks I have recently built. The large cathedral in the background (Duomo de Milan) seems to be floating, but actually it is seated on an elevated stand.

The old Prague astronomical clock (or in Czech Pražský orloj) at the south side of the Old Town city hall next to the Old City Square. It was the third astronomical clock in the world to be made, back in 1410, and the oldest that is still working. It was made by the clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and the astronomy and mathematical professor Jan Šindel. It has been been repaired many times since then though, and later additions have been made too. The moving figures (that draw the attention of all tourists) are from the 17th century, and the apostles as alte as 1865-1866.
Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

We arrived at Hauptkirche Sankt Michaelis a bit too early before their opening time, luckily for me, Michiel is very good in finding nearby places to explore. We ended up visiting the Kramer-Witwen-Wohnung (Grocer Widow's apartment) museum.
Partial and edited quote from their web site:
shmh.de/en/kramer-widows-apartment
"The „Krameramt“ was the Guild of the Shopkeepers, whose statutes date back to 1375. They had their permanent stalls or shops in the city and traded mainly in spices, silk and iron wares.
In 1676 the wealthy guild built these houses to provide room for the widows of its members. The guild’s aim was to re-accommodate the widows and hence to vacate premises for new members in the shops. A plaque on the wall facing the land gives the date of construction as 1676 and indicates that the houses were a charitable foundation.
The living area of each widow is divided in two storeys. There is a small living-room with a kitchen on the ground floor. The upper floor consists of a living-room with sewing table and a sleeping accommodation. On the top floor is a drying loft with a clotheshorse attached to the outside of the window facing the lane. Furthermore, the loft was needed for the supply with wood and carbon. Water pipes were not installed until the end of the 19th century. In the previous time they used two water pumps.
By today's standard this apartment appears tiny, with minimal space and amenities but according to the circumstances at this time it was a quite comfortable and progressive arrangement.
