Attached Link: Amstel Mill Image Location

> Quote - fran, you did a great job on this mill, i love it!l! as for placing it, that's no problem at all. these mills need quite a lot of space around them to catch enough wind. as we have a harbour along the river this mill can be placed somewhere with that space around it, it even fits in quite well. if you want i can draw it in on the plan. > there is just one little thing: the hood (the part where the sails are attached) is made of wood, but i am sure that will be no problem at all.

I know the cap/hood is made of wood, both it and the main body are textured as if covered with roofing felt in my version, which is the closest I could come to getting it to look like the image I found of the Amstel Mill - which may be covered with roofing felt... or may even be thatched, but the photo is so fuzzy it's hard to tell, and anyway I don't as yet have any photos of thatch, so can't try that out as a texture... yet.
This image shows one view of the Amstel mill, and you can (just) see that the hood is covered in the same material as the main body., My mill is not an exact copy of this mill as I could not find any images showing the back of this one, so there I've used images of another mill from Flickr.com

Oh and I have a texture of cobbles, but mine are taken at my college - and they are shaped cobbles, sort of cross shaped.  But certainly pretty old as they are crumbling here and there.
I've uploaded this texture to freebies.
