It was built in July of 1993, and is approximately 24 inches long and 18 inches tall. LEGO Zeppelin is a real favorite of mine. It marked a turning point in my LEGO building. Bigger is Better!

Gloege Glade Windmill
"Gloege" is pronounced "glo-gee". Built in May of '96, the tower portion of the Windmill stands 3'6" tall, and it's 5'6" to the top of the blades.

• The first picture is me (Max) with the Windmill
• The whips (fan blades) are about four feet across, tip to tip. The tower comes apart into five pieces for easy storage and transport.
• The Gloege Glade Project is multifunctional, serving simultaneously as Tourist destination, outdoor cafe and granary.
• Next is a close-up of the Gear House, Cafe and Observation Deck.
• The rear of the Windmill, showing a close-up of the Gear House, Cafe and Observation Deck.
• The next image is a close-up of the Gear House, where the whipper (the main shaft of the fan section) meets the down shaft to the grind wheel far below on the ground floor. The Gear House rotates to always keep the whips into the wind and also includes a winch for heavy replacement parts.
• There's also a close-up of the Grinding Room and Grindstone. The Grindstone rotates and raises or lowers as needed.
• Finally, there's a front shot with a close-up of the Cafe and Observation Deck.
