dutchmadebricks Posted December 19, 2020 This moc is inspired by an old typical Dutch mill called Kikkermolen (frogmill). Dated from 1747. Always when I passes the mill on my bike I thought, what a sweet tiny beautiful red mill. Let's recreate it with bricks :-). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lira_Bricks Posted December 19, 2020 Looks really nice! :) What is the X-shaped thing the lego figure is holding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thedarkmaster2 Posted December 19, 2020 A beautiful build, I love the cat mold used in the set. The diverse build is quite intricate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintaiZ Posted December 20, 2020 Maybe the white stud could be replaced with a red one, but otherwise very stunning build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A crank to turn the mill towards (or away) from wind direction. These mills were used to 'keep dry feet' in lower places, so they are essentially wind-powered waterpumps.

Klaus-Dieter Posted December 21, 2020 That's a beautiful MOC, @dutchmadebricks! I really like it how you added a very fitting and very nice landscape around the mill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchmadebricks Posted December 23, 2020 Thanks. I have to admit that it is not possible to turn the mill in a circle of 360 degrees (although technically it is possible). Because there is too much "landscape" such as water, fences and the vegetable garden it is not possible. In my lego world the landcape goes before practical issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeoBrick Posted February 7, 2021 A re-creation to be proud of. It comes pretty close to the real world mill. And the landscaping is superb. I especially like how you managed the corner slopes of the mill's base. Are the blades turnable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
