Windmill & Workshop (Fully Motorized!)

Welcome! My new idea contains a windmill that supplies a wood workshop with mechanical energy. Here the best and most beautiful furniture in the city is made from tree trunks!

This windmill isn't the first one I've built. When I was 6 or 7 years old, I was given a box full of old Lego bricks including two gears which I used to build my first windmill. Now, more than 10 years later I have built a new version. Admittedly, it's a bigger and much more detailed one. Moreover, this mill has more functions than the previous one. In particular, these functions make my idea so special!

This model includes 2500-3000 Lego pieces as well as 4 minifigures (Workshop owner, employee, customer, miller of the neighboring water mill). Power functions (L-motor) and some animals are also included.

When building this model, apart from the technical functions (i really wanted to motorize machines in minifigure scale), I focused on the special shape of the windmill. This was definitely a big challenge, especially because the whole model had to be modular and have details inside. It was a complex task, but that was the reason why I chose this building. All in all, I am now satisfied with the result and the mixture of detailed design and functionality.

I used some parts in unusual ways, e.g. buckets for the roof, Nexo Knights shields for the floor, a unicorn horn as a drill... Can you find more?

I think the mix of these creative part usages, complex building techniques, and overall functionality will make this set interesting to a wide variety of Lego fans.
