Hi all once again,
I have another addition...a water powered grist mill.
As usual, materials consist of cardboard, foam core, craft sticks, and a cut down towel for the thatched roof.
the inner separation wall on the upper level can be removed for larger play area...the hoist can be removed as well as the water wheel for transport without damage...and without the hoist, the upper level can be used as a simple house on the game table.

I am pretty much done with it, but I know it can be tweaked hear and there...please tell me what you think...ALL statements are welcome.
Cheers,
carl

Very nice, really love it.
Great job on the inside.
The water wheel excellent.
I plan to do something with an old stone building a friend gave me.
Will use some of your ideas to make mine.
Thanks for sharing.

It is good as it is. If you care to enhance it you could add some splashing water to the wheel for dramatic effekt, like.

Bravo

A lovely build with lots of attention to detail. I like the bag hoist etc.
Where does everyone source their towel for thatching? all I ever see is heavily patterned stuff that is far too fluffy or looped pile...
If I had any criticisms it would be that the wheel is far too small and there would likely be no fireplace (even separated by a screen wall) because of the inherent risk of dust explosion...

Thanx bunches guys...

Sukhe_bator.....i just use regular towels that have gotten worn past their good use in the house...and ya know, i never thought about the inherent threat of a dust explosion...i Am a goof!!

...well mayby the fireplace is only used in the winter when no crops are being pulled up

Cheers,
Carl

Then again, maybe it's a grist mill for olive oil.....no dust explosion there!!
