Simple-to-build cardboard European windmill

[Arteis]

I made this complex-looking cardboard windmill in just one evening! It’s a cut-out model from Helion Publishing’s latest Paperboys book, 'European Buildings: 28mm paper models for 18th & 19th century wargames' by Florian Richter and Peter Dennis.

Despite the intricate design of this windmill, with protruding attics and overhanging annexes, it was surprisingly easy to make. It was simply a matter of scoring all the folds, cutting out the pieces, folding them into shape, and gluing. Everything fitted perfectly.

Very nice indeed. You've done a great job. Personally, I've never had much success with the cardboard kits I've tried - they're very common with railway modellers.

Very impressive, a windmill will grace almost any table . I,ve built and posted the Trafalger  ships from this company . I enjoyed putting them together, it was almost therapeutic 😊 .

That is cracking be great to see the rest of the buildings made up. How many does said book contain in total.

I am envious. I've tried paper models since I was a kid, and never, ever, was able to make of them other than a nasty mess!  And it is a shame, because the model looks beautiful, practical... and cheap! I hate to have sausages instead fingers when paper and glue are involved!
