Description

A mill with sails

Windmills are a popular subject because they translate well into bricks: a tower, a roof and the large sails that give the building its trademark look. This model takes up the motif and needs only 126 pieces to do it. That makes it fairly small, but unmistakable. Two minifigures can act as miller and helper or simply visit the mill, so you can act out a bit of country life around it. With models this small every detail counts, and the windmill gets its character mainly from the proportions of tower and sails.

Red, yellow, black and blue

Red, yellow, black and blue are the main colours of the mill. That gives a bright, cheerful look quite unlike realistic wood and stone tones. Red surfaces form the walls, yellow parts add highlights and black provides contrast. With 36 different parts the little model holds a fair amount of variety, especially in the pieces that make the roof and sails possible, which keeps the build more interesting. The red on the walls and the yellow on the details make the model easy to recognise and friendly from several metres away.

Display or play

As a display piece the windmill catches the eye on a shelf, particularly beside other Legoland sets of the seventies. In play it is a starting point for village and country scenes that you can extend with vehicles and houses. The sails are the most delicate part and need careful handling. Anyone who has built the model soon notices that the tower stands surprisingly firmly as long as the bricks are pressed together properly. That makes it a good match for farms, bridges or small market squares that you can assemble from bricks of other sets.

Parts list and missing pieces

The parts list on this page shows each colour and quantity, so a used copy can be checked closely. Sails and roof parts in particular tend to be missing from older mills. With “What can I build?” you can see how far your stock goes towards this set. Red and yellow bricks are also easy to reuse for houses and barns of your own, if you would like to try something new once the mill is built. And if you eventually no longer want to keep the mill as a whole, the individual bricks stay useful for new ideas.
