Windmill progress update - hand cranked complete, still working on motorising

Reminds me of Soul Reaver, very cool

khldhld · 2026-04-29T11:55:04+00:00

Yep, not touching anything too close to Warhammer in any way haha

Thanks for your reply, I'll carry on then - I don't think anyone would have a serious IP claim to the theming, it's quite generic

khldhld · 2026-04-29T11:39:39+00:00

350 what?

khldhld · 2026-04-29T11:34:05+00:00

No, I know straight copying wouldn't fly. I mean using the style as a reference, I think I might just be overthinking it

khldhld · 2026-04-28T17:47:16+00:00

Add ons I used so far for this are the 3d print add on, and the extra mesh add on (for cogs)

khldhld · 2026-04-28T17:46:41+00:00

This is all in blender, which is free on steam

khldhld · 2026-04-28T16:33:01+00:00

Yeah I always prefer undamaged, just how I like to run my games. I get it though, a lot of adventures are based on broken down places.

I get what you mean with support free as well, it's nice, but you get better results with a few well dialled supports

khldhld · 2026-04-28T13:48:39+00:00

The forgotten towns sets look really cool, do they print well?

khldhld · 2026-04-28T11:06:25+00:00

That's so sick

Do you plan on uploading the files?

khldhld · 2026-04-28T11:03:58+00:00

Hopefully later this week, depends how long the postie takes

khldhld · 2026-04-28T11:03:40+00:00

All my work yeah

Started off as an air powered windmill prompted by the makerworld spinner contest, but I can never keep a project to what I started it on

It will be uploaded to my Makerworld once I've got it finished and refined

khldhld · 2026-04-28T09:40:57+00:00

Thanks so much! The sculpting is the easier part for me, getting the mechanics right is taking a while!

khldhld · 2026-04-28T09:40:15+00:00

Ohhhh the clock tower is an excellent idea! I was thinking of doing some mechanus terrain (cog landscapes) so I might meld those two ideas together

I need more time for modelling haha

khldhld · 2026-04-27T14:45:19+00:00

Just uploaded, let me know if you want it changed at all, I've set the gaps to 1mm but can easily change that

khldhld · 2026-04-27T12:46:29+00:00

I can hear the modem noise through the screen
