Watermills & Windmills

Model Windmills, Watermills & related models made by Vic Newey, Worcestershire, England, This website shows a set of 18 scale model watermills & windmills and related models, all of which are on permanent display at Bishops Lydeard Mill & Museum in Somerset. Working for many years on TV and film scenery I developed many special paint techniques to make things look completely real. I transferred the same techniques to my miniature models which are in museums and private collections worldwide. Now aged 79 and retired I do not take commissions anymore but leave the images of some of my past work for those who may be interested.
