Whistle Punk Lumber Mill (Steam-Punk Sub-Theme)

[SirNadroj]

Hey!

Here's my whistle punk entry for a Builder's Lounge Contest:

Quote (Thwaak):

"So I propose a challenge to create a Punk (Steam Punk, Magic Punk, Diesel Punk, Retro Punk...whatever! I throw the door wide to allow whatever you want) MOC that must follow these two rules...

1) It must involve in some process, the act of logging, cutting trees, lumberjacking, etc.

and

2) It must involve some kind of steam whistle or horn as part of the MOC."

A Lumber Mill, complete with a waterwheel and a small boat for carting away heavy logs. I like how the outside came out, but the interior's a little weak, I must admit. But I'm happy with it. There are steam-whistle of the boat and the building. The whole MOC was heavily inspired by this picture:

So quaint, and mysterious ;-)

Here we go, the main pic:

And other pics, including the small boat, can be found here:

I love the use of the ship wheel as a paddlewheel, but couldn't help to think that if you put clips on it it would look better.

Thanks. :-) Clips may work, but the paddle-wheel really doesn't scoop up water like the large wheel does, it pushes the boat along. X-D
