The Settlers go to Historica – Part IV: Mill

[Yooha]

The 4th building is a mill:

And the "original":

My previous buildings: pinewood cutter, pinewood forester, bookbinder

[ZCerberus]

Very nice. Looking awesome m'man!

[Wedge09]

Really nice work Yooha :thumbup:

[mpoh98]

Wow that is really well done! I love it, it looks fantastic! Well done mate!

The windmill and texture of the roofs are what stood out to me most The sails on the windmill and the roof are both great. I like how the storage building is slightly lifted off the ground as well. One of my favorite builds from your Settlers series

Nice thatched roof design! Are all those pieces available "for real" as well?

[Legonardo]

this is great! keep it up!

I usually have a more or less "meh" attitude towards the digital LEGO stuff. This however, has all sorts of awesome techniques going on. That and it's downright pretty.

Please, keep this up.

What program do u use to make these digital models?

[Infernum]

Nice! Love the thatch roof! The round tower and roof (any hints on the technique?) are great! Love the courtyard! Nice technique on the wind mill!

[Garmadon]

Excellent build, Yooha, even if it is LDD

It all looks great, but the best parts are the windmill and the roofs of the house and shop (?)

Thanks everyone! I'm trying to keep these up.

What is surely not available are the roof tiles above the entrance of the building. Those are gold bars. I don't know the others.

What program do u use to make these digital models?

The designing is made by Lego Digital Designer, I convert it with LDD-to-POVRay, and the rendering is by POVRay.

I hope this picture will help you.:

The roof and the windmill's oar(?) is held by a pillar in the middle of the building. So it isn't attached with the walls, even though I think it should hold IRL. Maybe some counter-balance at the other end of the technic axis, which is not present on this picture. And there are a lot hinged plates in the wall with many 1x1 round plates and 1x1 round tiles.

It is excellent because it's LDD

Telling the truth, I don't know whether it is a shop or not. I think it is a smaller mill: there is a hand-mill next to it.

Another excellent design - you really have a great eye for unconventional roof shapes! I'm really enjoying your "settlers" designs. The only thing i'd suggest is to recess the door into the windmill - it looks a bit odd being flush with the wall.

Oh I love this thing you are doing with the settlers! This is such a little beauty! The roofs are just great! I have to borrow that cart design!
