Hi, I built a new building on Sunday. I have been wanting to build a mill with a water wheel for a while now, so I did! The images are located here: (URL) are thumbs, click on them to get the bigger pictures. Also, I have a new domain name and site, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) mechanism there. There is a lot of life in the watermill. One question - did you run out of black corner slope bricks, or does it have a red top for some reason? Good to see more original MOCs :) -- Pawel (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Unfortunately I did run out of black corners. It took a lot more than I thought to do that roof. I have the tip top pieces in black, but changed them to red just to be consistent. I need 31 more black ones. There isn't even that many on (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) When I click on the thumbnails I get a "404 HTML error" message - a classic. But from what I can see, it looks wonderful! It's almost better to see it small - it looks almost real in that view! Lovely job. -Shiri (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Brian -- That is really cool. Not being much of a "gear head" (IE: not much technic in my collection) I suspect it would have taken me far longer than 4hrs to get the gearing right. ;) I understand some about gear ratios and such from my R/C (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
