Windmills & Don Quixote



For years now I've felt like Don Quixote! I'd been chasing 28mm Windmills for years. Well you can only imagine my surprise when I found not only one, but three. Now I can accurately portray not only Valmy, but Ligny as well!




All Three
Shingled roof
Thatched roof
Flemish
I assumed that they were all the same with interchangeable roofs and ladders, but upon contacting "Grand Manner" I was informed that each is individually crafted for the specific locale mentioned. There are two for the European theatre (Shingled and thatched, and one Flemish).
