Title: Don Quixote & The Windmill
Post by: Emma.J on September 03, 2011, 11:08:44: A while back I created Don Quixote and Sancho Panza as customised figures and the other week I came across a bundle of houses for sale one of which was the windmill I'd used as my very first custom building. So I bought it for a laugh and have decorated it up to go with Don Quixote.

Post by: BlackPearl2006 on September 04, 2011, 08:34:24: I love Don Quijote. My idol (cuz I'm always chasing windmills, and then getting blown away by them).

For sentimental reasons I think if I could buy one piece first, from you, it would be this one. Lovely!

I really like Sancho on a donkey!!, and the maiden offering her hankerchief (Dulcinea?)

And the stucco-textured inner walls and weathered wood paintjob on the outside of the mill!

I Love ~~you~~ it, Emma! :love: :love: :love:

I really liked the Don he looks how I'd imagine him to be and I wanted to do a real looking working mill rather than a "pretty" version so it would all fit together. I do have an idea for a completely playmobil windmill as well, but like everything else it all depends on having the time to do it :-\

Brilliant Emma, as always... That's realy funny 'cos at the moment I am working on a windmill, too. It will be a suggestion for a set design for Geobra and is one of my results coming with my SysX-reasoning (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=8904.0). I wanted to present it much more later in my thread, but now, even if it is still unffinished, I have strong feelings to show it only for you... all you other just don't watch!

Emma, Lovely windmill! Very authentic looking.

When you driving around southern Spain and it seems as if you are in the middle of nowhere, there suddenly appears another (usually broken down) windmill to lift your spirits. Most are about to fall down with neglect, which is such a shame. We have seen windmills in other countries, but those in Spain have so much character they are hard not to love.

In the background of a Spanish windmill shot, it would be great to see the national hero of Spain, the gigantic cut-out bull billboards that just cracked us up. They are so huge that they knock the wind out of your lungs just gazing at them. We had to pull over to the side of the road many times to take photos of either the big bull billboards or the decrepit windmills.

Congratulations on capturing so well this part of Spain, Pgal :wave:
