The wooden construction kit contains wooden blocks of specific lengths for building log walls, roof and gable parts, cardboard window and door cutouts, and pre-printed paper prints. The kit includes a schematic assembly plan.
HOBBY KITS contain everything you need for assembly. Simple pictorial instructions with symbols for each step are provided, so children all over the world can assemble them. The basic building material consists of precisely made pine wood blocks measuring 9×9 mm in lengths from 16 to 230 mm, intended for building log walls. The surfaces of roofs, gables, balconies, and terraces are made of 3 mm plywood and covered with paper prints. The functional doors and windows, glazed with foil, are made of printed cardboard. The individual buildings are glued together with wood and paper glue (not included). The instructions include short chapters on construction and the history of folk architecture. The models are built to a scale of 1:32.
The finished buildings are aesthetic additions to children's rooms, can be used for playing with toy cars, animals, soldiers, and dolls, and can form the basis of a folk nativity scene at Christmas.
History of the building
Windmills, along with water wheels, were an important source of energy. They were originally used to grind grain – hence their name, mill – but they also powered pumps, crushed spices and bark, pressed oil, and cut wood. The first windmills had canvas wings modeled after sailing ships. Then blades began to be made from wooden slats.
the wind, only the roofs with blades were turned; the mill buildings were brick. In the case of the so-called post mill, the entire building, mounted on a central post, was turned into the wind. The oldest mill is probably the one that operated five thousand years ago in Alexandria, Egypt. In the Czech lands
, we have records of a mill in Prague-Břevnov dating back to the 11th century. However, the greatest boom in windmill construction occurred in the 18th and 19th centuries, when there were about 900 mills operating in the Czech lands. Only about 40 of the old buildings have been preserved in our country. Among the most famous are the buildings in Kuželov, Rymice, and also in the open-air museum in Rožnov pod
Radhoštěm. Recently, people have become aware of the advantages of clean, green energy. Beautiful modern structures, wind power plants, are beginning to appear in the landscape, new landmarks that testify to the technical advancement of humanity.
