    Duane I'm sure there are a few others who are curious to know where you got your patterns from, I haven't seen any of those posted before.

    Ben, that is some amazing work there. Are the windmills all individual pieces that are glued/assembled together?

    To answer your question Kyle

    The full tower is barely 2 inch high (ZScale 1:220), so it has 4 siding with the details truss cut inside of them, wheel and tail are also separate pieces, I've use maple veneer that is 0.024" thick to create the whole windmill.

    You're welcome. While I admire the amount of work involved in designing, cutting and building these patterns, I must admit they do not suit my taste in decor.

    I agree, but the ingenuity of the designs is amazing. I loved the box with the combination dials on it. Also some of the boxes. I liked those.

    That picture is the proto-type since then I've added embellishments. The design phase was lengthy, but the cut & build just took a day. I am taking the car to the ARA vegas show, I hope I will be able to set it up? Note: There are no nails or screws holding it together.

    I will be making a larger scale Humvee next. The Humvee will have 4 doors. The wheels turn so you can push it out of the way to mow the lawn. Trying to create a unique grandchildren play ground.

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    Nice windmills! I LOVE the 3-D effect! How did you do it?

    I've been trying to make some fences for 28mm wargames figures (Close to O scale in your world) and they come out looking very 'stiff' compared to your windmill.

    see: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9N7LA-10pY...arnage+005.JPG

    Also the building looks interesting, I assume that's one of yours too? I'd love to see more.
