Dit ziet er echt geweldig uit. Alles wat je in een echte molen ziet, zit hier ook in.

i love this windmill by icat13 sergio

Hi Andrew, Thankx for your great comment. We are very pleased that you like this Lego mill. You are right about water pump mills. We had many of them in the Netherlands. However mills were also used for many other applications like making flour, sawing wood and even to make oil from seeds.

Who would have thought that looking at a LEGO model would teach me more about windmills than I ever knew? For some reason I thought they were used mostly for pumping water, as the only ones I've ever seen have been in America where they pump water for cows. I hadn't even considered that they were actually a "mill". What an incredible working model/replica. This is the sort of LEGO creation that truly inspires me.

Outstanding!

AWESOME!

Hello Sebeus, Thankx for your reaction. Er zit inderdaad verbazingwekkend veel techniek in een (oude) molen. Niet gek wat de Nederlanders van toen al konden met techiek ...

Mooi gedaan, heel gedetaileerd, ik heb ooit es in een verlaten molen binnen(gedrongen) en helemaal naar boven geklommen, t'zit toch interessant in elkaar

1 woord: WOW

Woah! That's one incredible windmill there! All the intricate details-very well done. Keep it up. -Drew

wauw.... hoe krijg je het voor elkaar om zo iets moois te bouwen?! echt heel mooi! met alle details erin..... als ik dat nou zou kunnen maken, maar zoveel LEGO heb ik niet (nou ja, mij oma en moeder vinden dat ik veel LEGO heb...).

Hallo Stijn, Dank je wel voor je leuke reaktie. Helaas hebben we geen bouwtekening van deze Lego molen. De echte molen kun je wel bekijken, die staat in Geldrop. Groetjes, De Vuurzoon familie.

Deze molen is echt geweldig!! Mag ik hem ook maken? Verkoopt u de bouwtekening? Als molenfanaat én Legogek lijkt het mij het einde om een draaiende Legomolen te maken/bezitten! Ga vooral door met het maken van prachtige Legocreaties, leuk dat jullie met de familie een gezamelijke hobby hebben. Groetjes, Stijn Anneveld

This is amazing. at first, I thought it was a simple model of a windmill, and a pretty one at that. once I looked further though, wow! I cannot believe the mechanical accuracy you depict here. The workings of the shafts from the windmill sails are great enough, but then when you get into the more detailed workings. Like the adjustable millstone gap? who would have thought of that or been able to make it happen?? and the crane?? I was like, "cool it has a crane you can pull up and down!" then you show how it can be run on the windpower from the sails and I was like "whaaa!?!?!?" Seriously amazing. even the little trap doors the flour comes down through. Not only is this a tremendous model from am amazing builder, I feel like I have just had an official education in windmill workings from an actual Dutch expert. :-)

Prachtig, in Belgie staan er enkele maar niet in zo'n goede staat, vernuftig systeem, zeer interesant interieur, maar de buitenkant ziet er natuurlijk ook mooi uit

Wat een geweldige windmolen. Ik vond hem al mooi van de buitenkant, maar toen ik zag dat hij ook een werkende binnenkant had was ik verkocht. Heel informatief en bijzonder trouw aan het origineel.

Hi Robert, Thankx for your comment. This MOC intends also to educate about Wind Mill working principles. So we are very pleased with your feedback!

wowwww!!!! this is really exact!

Very detailed work, an excellent representation! Inst LEGO fun.

I'm impressed! Not only did I get to view a great working model, but I also got some knowledge, learning how a windmill works. That's a double plus and I thank you for it.

This is a very good replica off the windmill. And a very orginal idea. I am impressed. keep up the good work Ludo

OH MY GOSH AMAZING! I can't believe the functionality of all of it! Way cool video! -AW

This is a super model! I really like all the details that you have included in the model and in the write-up here at MOCpages. It is clear that you have paid a lot of attention to the way these windmills actually work and have included many of these features in your model.

Hi all, Thankx for all the great responses! It's a real motivation the keep on building and share it on these pages.

Very Nice, I really like the inside details and surroundings! Keep up the good work. Thnxz voor je comment op mijn museum, en het bekijken van mrbrick.nl. Ik zal binnenkort weer eens gaan bouwen zodat er wat nieuws opkomt! Groet Niek

This thing is outstanding! Amazing job making the whole thing actually work with wind power, and great representation of the real thing =)

way over the top here! Retractable hill to boot !! I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Great job!

way over the top here! Retractable hill to boot !! I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Great job!

This is simply magnificent! You did an outstanding job on all the little details. The fact that it really works is a huge plus, great job!

WOW ... that is REALLY cool ... Awesome job !

Hallo Jan, Thankx for your positive response! Yes, it can run on wind power. To be succesful an open field is required with a steady wind flow. Also in this respect it behaves like a real mill. For displays, it's also possible to use a Lego motor.

Amazing! All the details, and that everything really works! does it really work on wind power?!

Very good! I like the fact that it has interiors the most! And love all that details! It's just like the original! ;)

The movie is really terrific!! Now I know exactly how a Dutch windmill works! Congratulations Egel and the whole Vuurzoon-family!!!

Hi all, Here it is! The movie of Windmill 't Nupke. I hope you will enjoy it! Apo, thanks for you feedback.

Hi Egel, I have seen your movie and like it very much. Very interesting to see it work showing all the details. Congratulations. Apo.

Hi Apo, Thanks for your comment by mail. You are right: The basement entry is aligned with the front door & windows of the tower in the Lego mill. This is indeed different compared to the original mill, where the tower front door & windows are rotated about 10 degrees versus the basement entry. This is difficult to realise in Lego. Thanks for studying the MOC so closely!

Absolute fantastic.

Wow, that is really something!! Are you "walking with mills" already??!!?? Seriously: I love your mill, as the original mill happens to stand in my home village. It looks very much the same!

Excellent stuff, fantastic attention to detailing. Thanks for letting me know about your work.... keep it up :-)

Hi everybody, Thanks for your enthusiasm and positive reactions to this Lego mill! To answer Shirley's question: I took several hunderds of hours to create 't Lego Nupke; collecting data, designing (also in LDD), ordering hard to find bricks, building and so on. The next project is ..... to make the movie, that will show you the mill in operation. I hope to finish it this month.

Wooaaah! This is B R I L L I A N T!!! Let me bow deeply for such accuracy, patience, perseverance and whatnot Hat's off :) I feel that a sort comment like this is actually an insult to your creation and achievement, but i do not know what to say, speechless...

Great job!

Very good, nice details just like the real one which I visted last year. Good work. I am waiting for the movie. What is the next project?

Wow, this is really awesome. You succeeded in making a working minifig scale windmill. I think it's the best one on the pages yet! Greetz, Jelle

Wow, cool. With really nice details. It looks the same as the real version. Good work! How long did it take to build it?

There it is!! Exactly like the original! Bravo!
