Rebuilding forgotten Lego that were missing instructions

Idea Book 1 : The Seaside Windmill

Welcome to the LEGO Windmill Instructions! Discover how to build the charming windmill featured in the Official LEGO Idea Book No. 1 (238-0), page 3. This detailed guide brings to life a classic LEGO design that LEGO never officially instructed. This windmill boasts a vibrant blue body, a striking red roof, and a functional white windmill blade, all set atop a sturdy yellow base. Its thick, square-walled structure gives it a robust and timeless appeal. Note that the propeller is not attached firlmy by a wheel as this building technic didn’t exist at the time the book was released. So I used the technic showed in this construction. Follow the steps below to construct this delightful model and let your imagination soar with this seaside-inspired LEGO creation!
