After seeing
Tony´s excellent scratchbuilt Windmill (
HERE) I realised that "Card town" is missing one..so...
"In Progress" pics.
Cardboard, toothpicks and a stick from firework rockets for the base construction.(The Trestle)
The sails had always put me off making a windmill, getting them all the same size being the main concern, but after a bit of thought a solution is found.
The small block will be the
"poll end" (the hub holding the sail arms
) Why are they slightly traingular when virtually all windmill sails are rectangular? I simply liked the look. The Piece at the top is the "Tailpole" used for moving the the mill to face into the wind ( called winding or luffing )
