The Mill

cults3d

This is a medieval-style watermill designed specifically for 28mm scale wargaming tabletops. However, its versatility makes it suitable for educational purposes or as a standalone model. The building can be used without the mill components as a wharfside warehouse. I've also included a blank rear wall to allow users to create standard wooden huts. This design is inspired by archaeological findings from Regia Anglorum's research site, which provided a solid foundation for my interpretation. While taking some creative liberties, I aimed to stay true to the spirit of medieval architecture. The Saxon-style sliding door is an example of this; it's a cost-effective alternative to traditional doors, especially in rural areas with limited access to blacksmiths. The model includes a river section designed to integrate seamlessly with my Modular Water system. However, for standalone use, I've provided a plain mill race. Additionally, small supports are included for adjusting the height of the mill when using custom-made river or stream sections. Please note that the model comes equipped with a grain hopper and support for regulating grain flow into the grinding wheel, although these features were not included in my initial photos as they seemed excessive for wargaming purposes. To add an extra touch, I've also included a few flour sacks to enhance the model's realism.
