Wink Small windmill

Being a miller myself I have to, at least once, build myself a windmill.
Not that I haven´t build one before, but that was years ago, the model lost it´s wings during the year and had fallen apart.

At our mill we do have some small windmill papermodels for the kids. Offcourse I had to build one myself as well, so the kids could see what the end result will be. The model is fairly simple, it can be build in less then an hour. So this will be a very short build topic..

First cut out all the parts;



Then build all the separate parts;



And offcourse while building papermodels one of my cats likes some attention too;



and as last the finished model of the small windmill, I don´t know what scale it is;



Alltough this was a small model it was fun to do and I liked sharing it with you

Jerry

Nice Windmill! The Car is the most realistic Car model I've ever seen!

Jokes aside, that is one pretty Cat, and I've had many (still have 2), mine are black also.

Thank you for the comments, your windmill is looking nice as well Pat_craft.
Zathros, I have four of them, the one you see is a Eastern Shorthaired cat, family of the Siamese, named Pumba. I also have one of her sisters and two ¨smoked¨ black Devon Rex´s.

I thought she was Siamese, (if you please). I adopted a Mom and Son from the local shelter. People are so superstitious that many do not adopt black cats. Stupidity flourishes.

My last 3 cats were solid Grey. They died recently, 25, 23, and 17 years old respectively, when they passed.

Yes, well what can I say, I just like darker colored animals more then the lighter colored ones myself. What kind do you have Pat?

I think it is nice to have them around, except when cutting out small paper parts or having to rig a shipmodel..or when you´re building a model and the cats are in a ¨running & jumping mood¨

Simple but beautiful and meets the objectives. Surely the kids will enjoy the build.

I've been to Holland and I really enjoyed seeing the windmills.

Thank you,

Zé Reis, I am glad you liked the windmills and the model, it is standing at our mill now, next to the stack of models, so the kids can see what the model will become when build., There are now a little over 1200 windmills left in Holland but once there were more than 10.000 of them..

Peter, Thank you for the comment on the model and the cat.
