Ok its finally finished.
I ended up going for a simple plasticard base and just
basic vegetation. If the base had been any bigger it would
of limited the amount of places I could of used it on a terrain
board.
So to sum it all up. Due to lack of 15mm windmills on the market
in the Normandy style, I decided to scratch build one. The tower is
made from plastic tube and has modelling clay on the outside giving
the stone effect. The top of the windmill is styrene with modelling clay
on the outside giving the tile effect. I also used balsa wood to make the
sail connection.
The sails are borrowed from another 15mm manufacturer of windmills and I used
an iron rod to connect the sails to windmill. Thus the sails actually turn and
are not fixed in place. The door on the windmill is balsa wood and the windows
are pinched from an “N”guage model railway building.
I tried to go for the overall look of recently abandoned.
Anyway it was lots of fun making it and hope you like it.
