The Definitive Battlefield Objective
The Renedra Windmill is an essential landscape feature for 28mm tabletops, representing the pinnacle of UK-engineered injection-molded plastic. This 1/56 (28mm) scale kit is a "system-agnostic" masterpiece, representing a typical Western European windmill—particularly the types often seen in Spain—making it equally at home on Napoleonic battlefields as it is in the gothic-horror setting of The Silver Bayonet or the fantasy realms of Warhammer: The Old World.
Molded in high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), the kit features deep textures optimized for dry-brushing and washes. Unlike resin alternatives, the hard plastic allows for a permanent "solvent-weld" using standard plastic cement, ensuring the windmill remains a durable centerpiece for years of competitive play. The versatile design allows it to be used for any period of history from the medieval era to the present day.

Recommended Paint Palette
To achieve the professional "box art" finish shown, we recommend the following professional-grade paints
-
Stonework Foundations: Start with Vallejo Model Color Greyish Blue or London Grey for a neutral stone base.
-
Weathering & Depth: Apply The Army Painter Strong Tone or Vallejo Umber Wash to the recessed stone textures and timber sails to create immediate realistic aging.

Dry-Brushing Highlights: Use Vallejo Pale Sand or The Army Painter Skeleton Bone to catch the raised edges of the windmill tower.

Timber Details: For the sails and door, Vallejo Flat Brown provides a rich, aged-wood appearance.
