Sandyman's Mill

September 18, 2013/ Tommy

It's been a bit of a LOTR week for me, I even watched Fellowship of the Ring (well, the first half of the extended edition) yesterday. So the lovely village of Hobbiton is fresh in my mind. And this MOC by TheBrickAvenger would fit in perfectly. I really like the stonework on this, and that roof is perfect.

Morias' Mill

August 18, 2013/ Tommy

Harnessing the power of water was one of the things that got us out of the dark ages. But a secondary benefit was the absolute charm and aesthetic beauty of a classic mill. This MOC by David Hensel is a perfect example. Check out the discoloration at the bottom of the walls, perfect!
