Title: Building my Spanish Wind Pumps ... Now Finished
Post by: Unlucky General on July 21, 2021, 08:15:34 PM

Comrades,
Until corrected, I'm calling these my wind water pumps. Please feel free to follow the link to my latest how-to blog post on this build - part 1 of 2. The whole thing has been an experiment for me and I hope you get something out of it. I'd never used texture rollers before, I am inexperienced with clay and I'd never built a wind pump or mill for that matter. I don't think I covered this in the blog but they are designed for 28mm wargames.

Your use of the roller was good but the sails are inspired.

Thanks for the kind remarks. I can't take any credit for the roller - just glad my first use of it worked out so well. They are painting up nicely. Update on the way shortly.
