Don Quixote & The Windmill
« on: September 03, 2011, 11:08:44 »
A while back I created Don Quixote and Sancho Panza as customised figures and the other week I came across a bundle of houses for sale one of which was the windmill I'd used as my very first custom building. So I bought it for a laugh and have decorated it up to go with Don Quixote.









Improvise, adapt, overcome ..... If all else fails FAKE IT!

Again, it looks just right, even down to Don Quixote's hat!

I love Don Quijote.  My idol  (cuz I'm always chasing windmills, and then getting blown away by them).

For sentimental reasons I think if I could buy one piece first, from you, it would be this one.  Lovely!

I really like Sancho on a donkey!!, and the maiden offering her hankerchief (Dulcinea?)

And the stucco-textured inner walls and weathered wood paintjob on the outside of the mill!

I Love you   it, Emma!  :love: :love: :love:
