The windmill project!
This is my first ever Lego windmill, I would say this is my best creation to date and most interesting. My goal was to make a mechanicaly functional windmill, which did in fact happen, yay! I used gears inside to run from the windmill fan thingy down to the black knob located below the side window. The knob spins when the fan does, therefore my windmill could run an appliance such as a winch if connected properly. Also, I had on this at one point a power house. But, it didn't look that great so I removed it. But, in the power house I made a gear shift, that way the windmill could power 2 things. I had a table saw and I couldn't think what else to add before I wrecked it.I wouldn't say this windmill is a complete success though, unlike my other creations, this does't have much for an interior=( But, if I ever make another windmill, I thought up a way to make the different floors easily accessible, this would allow me to complete the interior in a detailed and interesting fashion!
Until next time, I plan to work on a water powered sawmill type thingy! Adios!

Headquarters improved!

Headquarters
This is my Lego army barracks/headquarters. The main feature of this is the tower on the side. Although it is only one story tall. I used hinged bricks to give it its shape. The tower was the purpose of the entire model, I wanted to find a good way to make a semi-spherical tower on a building while maintaining functionality. I think this model should be considered a success.

Organized
Crafting guild
Here is my crafting guild, it is a palce for master craftsmen to come practice their art. And for apprentices seeking knowledge, to come and learn. On the first floor you will find a pottery oven and two pottery wheels free for use. On the second floor there are two workbenches to work on. I used an angle in the wall on the first floor to see how it turned out, and I like it, it gives it a bit of much needed asymmetry.
