Title: Tudor / Medieval Watermill
Post by: Emma.J on September 03, 2011, 11:02:19
 :love: although this is one of my smaller buildings it's one of my favourties there's just some thing about it... My Mother says it's because you could have just bought it from a shop.

I had to destroy another building to get hold of the waterwheel but it does turn and spins the millstone inside.

The only thing I might add is one of the ornate signs if I can ever get one from PM.

I can see why it's your favourite, Emma.  It looks just right and "feels" right if you follow me.

That's wonderful. But where did the waterwheel come from? Was that in an earlier building somewhere?
Thanks.

Pretty sweet.

its pretty sweet but it has 1 minus point in my opinion.. the corners of the building should have dark brown corners (from western sets) instead of the stonewall corners. as wood it would look way more beautiful but its still ok

 ;) Ah a good point! I shall build my second one like that if I can find some T pieces and see what it looks like. Thanks for the idea.

Great work Emma, such a lovely little set. and I am very impressed you got to actually make the mechanics work.

;) Ah a good point! I shall build my second one like that if I can find some T pieces and see what it looks like. Thanks for the idea.

Maybe you could just paint those stonewall corners dark brown because I think the western connectors will still not feel right because the colour is so much lighter.

there are some dark brown western style piece with one of the old barns... the one with the guy that has the orange overalls on... though there may not be corners... there are at least some 3-way connectors that are the same dark brown as the steck wall...

 :wave: Thanks for your advice about the corners but the colour doesn't matter as the rest of the building was painted black rather than the standard brown wood, so I'd just paint the corners to match.
I've also just seen a rather nice base with a path on it that would look good in front. Yet another  thing to order from PM  8}
