Posted March 6, 201410 yr Hi, Greetings from Poland and LUGPol :) I am new around here, although I've been around for quite some time now. This is my first MOC shown here on Eurobricks and second that I did (the first one can be seen on my brickshelf). There is a bit of nostalgia to my old days before the DA, which as seen from the style of it, has been long ago... This goes back to good old Basic sets :) I hope you'll enjoy it. The mill rotates by means of a handle at the back of it. There are also lights in front of the entrance (old 9V system). If you are interested in building instructions, they are linked on Rebrickable: Red Mill. Tractor with trailer. And here goes the pictures:
March 6, 201410 yr I've always loved windmills and I think LEGO has made only few models. This MOC is beautiful with the system of gears and chain ...I also love the 80's style! The lights are a great touch!
March 7, 201410 yr i agree, a wonderful old school building going on there 'Mestari', the mill is the bomb and that tractor is cool as ! Brick On 'Mestari' !
March 7, 201410 yr Author Thank you for all the comments :) Regarding Cuusoo, this would have to me stripped off the lights, as those are not produced anymore. ...and I love mills too ;)
March 7, 201410 yr You could use the light brick that they are still making and make a light channel. The light will be dimmer, but still of a nice effect
March 8, 201410 yr very cool, I like the old 80's feel as well -- and the newer pieces here and there that complete the picture. Good job!
March 10, 201410 yr Author Yes, it will rotate, although not too fast. Just as the 40t gear that is supposed to imitate quern ;)
March 13, 201410 yr This is beautiful and well-designed. My vintage town needs a vintage equivalent to my modern town's wind turbine. Thanks for the instructions - I am going to build this for my town!
March 14, 201410 yr Author Thank you! Would you mind posting a picture of it in the city when it's done?
March 14, 201410 yr Thank you! Would you mind posting a picture of it in the city when it's done? I will, but it will be awhile before it's incorporated into the town. We just packed up our town display because the Lego room is getting new windows and new drywall once the weather gets a little warmer.
March 14, 201410 yr Very nostalgic -- I love all thise old school bricks and every single visible stud!
March 15, 201410 yr very nice man, I also like how you incorporated some technics elements into this.
