Inspired by some bookcases made by a Twitter user called 'Jasmin MedievalMinis' I thought I'd have a go at mass producing some. Rather than make individual books, I found you could cut blocks of them out of 'blue' styrofoam (the dense stuff people use for stone walls).

The prototype:

The finished shelves:

The book cases are made with 2mm mounting card and coffee stirrers:

Making the rows of books from styrofoam (biro= ballpoint pen):

The scrolls are made from strips of paper soaked in tea.

The jars are made of beads, with greenstuff circles for 'lids.' Roll some greenstuff very thin onto a plastic bag, then use a paintbrush protector tube or similar to punch out circles.

Really nice, that'll look brilliant on the table.

You certainly have mass produced them!

They do look very effective

Good trick with the foam for the books. Very nice.

What a great idea. They are fantastic. I recently got the Wizkids library/archive set which is excellent but this is just as good (or maybe better) and certainly less expensive.

Excellent idea and execution. I must steal this idea.

Thanks. I looked at a few dungeon furniture sets, and individual bits were reasonable but the cost quickly got out of hand over multiple items......

Very clever idea with the foam

If you wanted to speed the process up a bit more, you could cut the shelf onto the styrofoam when you're making the books and just stick these straight into the cabinets. Or to walls.
