sheo Posted January 19, 2020 This build was planned for the Colossal Castle Contest, but I missed the deadline because of a lost Bricklink order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grover Posted January 19, 2020 This is a great creation! I particularly like the gradually decreasing diameter of the mill as it goes up--that must have taken quite a while to do! The rounded mill roof is well done, too. Is this a fairly sturdy build or are the walls delicate? It's a nice technique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's quite sturdy, I was able to lift the entire build with the base while holding the tower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grover Posted January 26, 2020 OK, it's sturdy... now I'm really curious. I've been trying to figure out how you managed to get the slightly decreasing circle diameters going up while still connecting the bricks. I thought at first that you had one or two less bricks in a circle each time, stacked on top of one another, but that wouldn't make sense because there's no way to solidly connect those that I can see... do you mind sharing how you got the windmill walls to be solid? It's something that you have mastered and is obvious in most structures like this but I rarely see because it's too difficult to render in Lego. Great work in any case!

There are indeed circles of individually hinged bricks which are then connected to the central pillar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
