The Great Bell Clock Tower DIY Model Kit

Original price was: $79.00.Current price is: $59.00.

Construction of the tower began on 28 September 1843. Elizabeth Tower, initially referred to as the Clock Tower and more popularly known as Big Ben, was constructed as part of Charles Barry’s design for a new Palace of Westminster after the old palace was largely destroyed by fire on 16 October 1834. Although Barry was the chief architect of the neo-Gothic palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the Clock Tower, which resembles earlier Pugin designs, including one for Scarisbrick Hall in Lancashire.

The Great Bell Clock Tower DIY Model Kit

The central clock tower in the most influential country in Europe, whose ringing of bells the whole world listens to, and the entire establishment checks the clock. Worthy of many mentions. Cinema, literature, billions of selfies, tens of billions of references. The Elizabeth Tower, the most recognizable part of Westminster Abbey and a symbol of London and the UK, generally has cultural and technical value. One of the tallest clock towers in the world, standing at 96 meters, was built in 1859. It has a unique clockwork that still works today and six bells, the main one weighing 13.7 tons and called Big Ben. Often, the tower itself is also referred to by that name. The Elizabeth Tower is a worthy object for modeling and collecting.

The designers at Metal Time have created “The Great Bell” DIY model based on the proportions and appearance of London’s famous clock tower. Like the original, the model contains many details that delight fans of independent technical creativity. And yes, it shows the time due to the electronic clock mechanism. It can also be turned into a night light, and you can decorate the bedroom with it.

The time spent on assembling the model will not be wasted.

  • “The Great Bell” DIY model is a stable clock tower prototype that can be used for various purposes.
  • “The Great Bell” has a platform that ensures stability. Many architectural details of the real neo-Gothic tower are reflected in the details of the model. Therefore, its assembly is associated with a slight digression into the history of world architecture.
  • The main component of the tower is the clock. The electronic clock mechanism shows real-time and is powered by batteries (not included), which can be easily replaced.
  • In addition, “The Great Bell” can be turned into a table lamp or night light by placing an electrical light source, such as an LED candle (not included) or another light source, inside.

Attention! Be extremely careful when using open flame sources as a lamp! Do not leave a burning candle unattended! Imprudence can lead to a fire!

  • “The Great Bell” is made with great attention to detail. The windows, the ornaments on the walls, the textured roof, and the clock’s design give it authenticity and originality.
  • Like all “Metal Time” DIY building sets, “The Great Bell” is made from sustainable stainless steel, food-grade, and approved for consumer goods and toys.
  • Precise cutting of the set eliminates the possibility of cuts during the assembly process. The parts are precisely adjusted to each other and will not cause any issues when articulating.
  • Pleasant tactile sensations, strength, and brushed metal aesthetics favorably distinguish steel parts from wooden or plastic parts used in other building kits.
  • Convenient flat packaging made of eco-friendly, recyclable cardboard combines the compactness and aesthetics of a status gift.
  • Each “Metal Time” model purchase receives a club badge, a thank-you card, and a unique number assigned to each model. Joining the “Metal Time” club opens up additional opportunities for each buyer.
  • “The Great Bell” DIY building kit is an excellent gift for connoisseurs of historical architecture and world attractions.

The process of assembling a model can be an exciting quest for a group of friends or family. A few hours of hard work will be rewarded with a pleasant souvenir, which can be used in various ways.

  1. Firstly, the model can be used as an interior decoration. A tall and elegant tower can take place on the desktop or shelf, emphasizing the owner’s status.
  2. Secondly, “The Great Bell” can be used as a clock. The electronic clock mechanism displays the exact time, transforming the model into an extraordinary functional gadget.
  3. Thirdly, an electronic light source or candle can be placed inside the tower, transforming it into an original lamp, night light, or illuminated clock. They will take their rightful place in the recreation areas of your home.
  4. Fourth, the assembled model can become a toy. As part of a model city or building site in a nursery, it can become your child’s dominant figure and favorite device.
  5. And finally, “The Great Bell” can become part of your “Metal Time” collection, which is dedicated to architecture, construction, and sightseeing.

We’re here to help you buy the hottest products affordably, with fast shipping and World-Class Customer Support. However, please read about the newly imposed tariffs and click the Delivery tab to review our Return and Refund policies before making a purchase.

Tariff: We ship directly from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan, helping you avoid or pay lower tariffs. Since we do not always ship products to you from the USA (except for products made in the USA or stocked), you will not be affected by the new tariffs imposed by the USA. Due to new tariff agreements between countries, not all products are subject to tariffs, as tariffs vary by country or product. For example, customers in the USA will pay a tariff on products imported from China, based on the tariff rate agreed between the USA and China. And so, if applicable, you, the customer, will pay the tariff in your respective country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff, which you will pay before the delivery. We won’t issue a refund if you don’t pay the tariff.

Ships From: On this product page, check the Ships From: label to see which country we will ship this product from, because we do not ship all products from the USA; some products ship from regions like China, Taiwan, Canada, and Europe. Therefore, the tariff you pay depends on the country your order is shipped from, as not all countries charge the same tariff. For example, suppose the US imposes a 30% tariff on goods imported from China; in contrast, other countries may impose a significantly lower tariff, or even none at all, on goods shipped from China into their countries.

Attention! We will email you the tracking number for you to track your parcel. The shipping company will contact you by phone, text, or email to arrange payment of the tariff. However, as the customer, you are responsible for responding to their call, text, or email. You can also click the tracking number link we emailed you to contact the shipping company and make the tariff payment, if you haven’t already.

Heads Up! We’re not responsible for parcels returned to us if you don’t pay the tariff or fail to follow up with the shipping company. As a result, if the shipping company returns the parcel to its country of origin, you will be responsible for re-shipping costs and tariff charges. We will not accept any excuses for not paying the tariff or for failing to follow up with the shipping company for the tariff, and we will not issue a refund.


Why are we not adding tariffs to the product’s retail price? If all countries imposed the same tariff amount and used the same currency, we would have added that tariff to the product’s retail price. Our suppliers and we are not responsible for tariffs. Please shop accordingly.
