Posted February 27, 201510 yr 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.
February 27, 201510 yr Nice windmill, but somehow it's the small house that intrigues me the most in this build
February 28, 201510 yr 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!
February 28, 201510 yr 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.
March 1, 201510 yr 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 - I will see if I can get around to taking a picture of that.

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.

For some reason, I couldn't get them quite right, and I definitely see what you mean!

I am definitely taking that as a compliment"
