Ok I went to Antics again! But this model kit of a windmill had “buy me” written all over it. Thinking that a windmill would be a nice addition to the layout I duly bought above mentioned kit. My immediate problem after opening the kit was that there were no recommended colour schemes in the instructions. Never to be fazed by such triviality I thought “what colour are windmills?” I see enough of them as I tour this fair land delivering prime beef - NOTHING! I could not remember the paint job of any windmills. Thank Bill for the internet. A quick image search on google produced some pretty wierd looking windmills but one was a jewel and just what I was looking for. Cubbinton Windmill! The mill itself was demolished in 1870 But the site is only 4 miles from where I am sitting writing this. Although the photo is probably one of the first ever taken in the world colours can be guessed at. Copyright forbids reproduction of the image at this time But I am seeking permission to do so.
The top part of the windmill is quite clearly white so the white paint pot was broached and work began as I applied the first coat of white paint |
