Bregir Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 In the middle of New Town, on the north bank of the river, the mill of the Trifork is located. Here grains from a wide area surrounding the Trifork is ground to flour before being shipped off by ship or caravan, sent to the bakeries, sold in the market, or stored in warehouses for times of need. (Or more favourable market conditions...) With a mill inside the walls, the Trifork is well-positioned to build up large stocks of grains and flour, meaning the Trifork rarely suffers in times of war and famine. Further, the traffic of grains going in and flour and bread going out, has established the Trifork as an important market for grains and related products. Avalonian wheat for north west Kaliphlin alone represent an immense volume of trade. Here the miller is loading a wagon with the last few hours of production, which will be going to the bakeries of Old Town south of the river. ====================================================================== This is a build for the HSS challenge. The mill rotates 360o degrees, so it can be turned into the wind. Further, there is a working grindstone inside, turning with the wind. Quite happy with the outcome of this, and looking forward for some feedback. Quote
mrcp6d Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Looks pretty good, but do you have a picture of the working grindstone? Quote
Gideon Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Nice windmill, but somehow it's the small house that intrigues me the most in this build Quote
LordDan Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Neat house and nice looking windmill :) Quote
LittleJohn Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Excellent work! I really like that you angled the mill and the house looks great! One suggestion would be, to make the path a bit wider, so that the wagon fits on it. Keep up the great work! Quote
SarahJoy Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Cool windmill; a very nice build. I like the wagon, and you have just enough detail on the green plates to keep it from being too bare. The pink-orange lighting is a bit distracting, especially in the background, but that might just be me. Quote
Mike S Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Nice landscaping and the small building design! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 This is a gorgeous build It reminds me of dG's MOCs, which is definitely a good thing! The layout is excellent, and I like the style of the buildings a lot, particularly the warehouse Great minifigure posing too Quote
Bregir Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks all Looks pretty good, but do you have a picture of the working grindstone? Thanks - I will see if I can get around to taking a picture of that. Nice windmill, but somehow it's the small house that intrigues me the most in this build All that effort and you are impressed by the small barn I put together in half an hour... Excellent work! I really like that you angled the mill and the house looks great! One suggestion would be, to make the path a bit wider, so that the wagon fits on it. Keep up the great work! Thanks, LJ However, the path is not for the wagon, but for the single wheel on the mill, when its turned around to be aligned with the wind. Cool windmill; a very nice build. I like the wagon, and you have just enough detail on the green plates to keep it from being too bare. The pink-orange lighting is a bit distracting, especially in the background, but that might just be me. Let's just say it is the sunset light... For some reason, I couldn't get them quite right, and I definitely see what you mean! This is a gorgeous build It reminds me of dG's MOCs, which is definitely a good thing! The layout is excellent, and I like the style of the buildings a lot, particularly the warehouse Great minifigure posing too Thanks, SK - Reminding you of dG? I am definitely taking that as a compliment" Quote
Gideon Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 All that effort and you are impressed by the small barn I put together in half an hour... Not always the most effort which pays off when presented to the world? What I meant was that the shape with the arches looked very nice and unusual. Quote
