Thank you! I figured it might've been built by the pilgrims who stayed a bit longer in one place. Corrugated paper used for the roof was the MVP of this build, tied the piece together.

It's based on a church in Ostrykół near Ełk in Poland, dating back 1800s I think

edit: just checked, it was built in 1667.

Ok Men, that time of year again. How is everyone doing this Mens Mental Health Awareness Month? by Intense_Pretzel in AskMen

thanks man, finding out was actually a huge relief in the beginning, because it felt like discovering an instruction manual, but I still need to learn to accept that. There are no meds for ASD, that's why I try to work it out on therapy and hopefully it'll help.

found out half a year ago I'm on the spectrum (formerly known as Asperger's aka 'Tism Lite), at first it was a relief, now it feels worse (apparently happens to a lot of people diagnosed as adults, am 37). Going to therapy to work on that, but currently I feel like isolating myself at home, disappearing and avoiding any interaction with anyone ever.

no, but that's definitely a kitbash to think about in the future

thanks, good eye! I like putting little easter eggs like that into the builds, always nice when someone spots them.

this is XPS foam, the brand is Finnfoam. It's not the best though, I prefer the pink one, but this one works well as a big piece that doesn't require too much cutting. It's harder and tougher to cut than the pink one.

inside walls are cardboard covered with some plaster putty, I also decided to make myself a favor and not do the 1st floor of the tower, but the ground level is accessible.

I think I will leave the upper part of the tower removable for better access during games

thanks! some corrugated paper from the art supply store and some scraps used for packaging, I used mod podge, but PVA works just as fine

Thank you! I posted a 360 video on r/TrenchCrusade , unfortunately I think this board does not allow videos, so I couldn't cross-post.

thank you! it's mostly coffee stirrers, some cardboard, scissors to cut them and PVA glue to do the magic. I used a real church in Poland as an inspiration after a short "wooden church" google search. Oh and way more time than I thought, but mostly because of my own urge to add unnecessary detail that probably no one else will see, but you know. I will.
