Title: Simple and Practical Wargame Terrain - painting the windmill
Post by: dampfpanzerwagon on 10 April 2021, 09:48:57 AM

Miniature Wargames issue 457 (May 2021) has the first of a two part how-to article showing how I built a 1/56th scale windmill from simple and everyday materials.

Part one shows how the model was constructed;

I like that, it’s a fairly straight forward build, but has enough details to be visually interesting.
