Crafting a Medieval Village Part 3 The Watermill

In this week’s episode of The Plunder Den I cover the crafting and painting of a Medieval Watermill . This is part three in a series of videos covering the construction of a Medieval Village. I plan on using this village for ‪@FirelockGames‬ Blood&Crowns but really this terrain could be used for a wide range of fantasy and other historical games.

Great stuff Dex! I always enjoy seeing the creative watermill of your mind at work 🙂 Fortified medieval watermills were a real thing, a search on internet revealed a number of examples in Europe. 🙂👍

Thanks so much! And that is awesome to hear!

[@Flying_Acehole]

Well done🥹

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much

I’m always amazed at what you’re able to create, but this truly might be your best work to date. The details are incredible from the wheel to the water and all the interior bits. This village when it’s all finished is going to be absolutely incredible! Thanks as always for sharing all your tips and techniques, and congrats on the big move! Very excited to see the new studio and see what you have in store in the future. Cheers! - Jared (World’s Okayest Crafter on Instagram)

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support. I really can’t wait to get everything over to the new space and set up!

Outstanding off the page! This is a totally bad ass build, Dexter. I appreciate all of your instruction and what I’ve learned from you over these few years. - Rick, USMC

Thanks so much for your support! I glad to hear that I am able to help. This is absolutely the main reason I started my channel to help others and grow my self! And of course it’s a tone of fun!! 👍😃👍

@@ThePlunderDen maybe I should start calling you my crafting sensei!🤔

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks again! Really means a lot

[@DIORAMABOX]

how wonderful, I love it!!!

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much I really appreciate it

[@camstanch5603]

Nice work as usual

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks very much

[@bradcraig6676]

One of your best builds, especially the water wheel and the water itself, and I love seeing period-accurate machinery in that mill! Hope the move goes smoothly and looking forward to more on this village, I am soaking up the ideas and inspiration.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! I really can’t wait to get all moved over to the new space! It’s so much bigger and will make things a lot easier. Up coming projects for the village will be Tavern, Market, local magistrates structure, barn/ stables and town accessories/scatter.

So nice. Really like the inner mechanism. Good attention to detail

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it

[@theQiwiMan]

Your builds are always so awesome, beautiful work as always!

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support

I know they're flour bags... but I think you just accidentally discovered the fastest way to do miniature sand-bags EVER!

[@ThePlunderDen]

They would definitely work as that as well for sure

[@redmist1122]

Another exceptional build video! Love the new intro song...sounds familiar but just can't put my thumb on it. Anyways, the build looks great along with the match-up river pieces. Also love the interior details too. I think a "Governor's Mansion for the first build in your new home would fit perfect???

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! Yep I still owe you guys a Governors Mason.
