Title: Dutch Windmill
Post by: Dakota Saw Dust on December 30, 2015, 07:45:48 pm

I'm looking for a traditional silhouette of a Dutch Windmill. It will be a backing for a dutch couple in the foreground. I would like to cut it at about 4-5"
[ 10-13 cm ] high so inside cuttings need to be minimal if at all.  Thanks for any direction you may offer.  Cheers  Brian

Greetings, Brian,
Would this illustration help?

Maybe just cut the perimeter of the windmill, cut the interior cuts for the window,
and cut the vanes as a separate piece and screw it on.

Good luck with your project and God Bless! Spirithorse

Hello Brian,

Is this what you mean?
You probably have to simplify it, but I didn't want to take away to many details.
I made this pattern from a picture of a real excisting windmill, called "de zwaan" (the swan)
And this windmill is located in Holland, Michigan.
Nice Coincidence, isn't it?

I hope you can use it.
When not, it was good to practice with Gimp again.  :D

Nice regards,

Richard

Richard     Your "de zwaan" is great. But the thumb photo is to hard for me to do much with.  Could you send me its full size "brother"? My e-mail is blb691@hotmail.com    Thanks in advance.    Brian
