The Old Mill

The factory is a modular kit and built from separate units. The factory entrance and factory exit can be joined together to create a small factory of about 42 cm long and 34 wide. If the factory is to be longer then there are 3 different module sizes that can be placed between the front and back sections.  

• Front Section : 23,7 cm long x 34 cm wide
• Back Section : 18,7 cm long x 34 cm wide

• Extension 1 : 15,7 cm long x 34 cm wide
• Extension 2 : 20,5 cm long x 34 cm wide
• Extension 3: 30 cm long x 34 cm wide

The total height of the factory (to the top of the roof) is approximately 45cm.

Each extension can be joined (without glue) to any other section and the walls for each section can be extracted and placed in any other extension of the same size.

To create a factory, it is suggested that a decision is made as to the required length of the factory. The number of extensions can then be determined and added  between the front and back modules. Each extension wall can be inserted/extracted as needed and placed in another extension of the same size.  It is of course possible to start with only the front and/or back section and then extend as needed in the future.

The prototype as seen on the Mini Vintage stand at the fairs is made up of Front and Back sections + Extension 2 + 2 x Extension 3 (with wall options 2 and 3). We have also included in the prototype a wall option instead of some of the windows also have included a room divider and also the lift option.

Front Section (including the front door) contains the following :

• The front wall including wall sign and “concrete” decoration ( without  the rain pipes ) including perspex ‘glass’
• One side wall (of the appropriate size) including “concrete decoration”, windows and perspex ‘glass’ 
• One optional side wall (of the appropriate size) including “concrete decoration”, windows and perspex ‘glass’ 
• An engraved floor
• A front door (that can be opened) complete with perspex ‘glass’
• A complete first floor / ceiling to ground floor
• 2 wall posts / 1 joist (for the front wall)
• 2 wall posts / 1 joist (for connection to next section)
• Roof (size 2)
• Windows throughout including perspex ‘glass’

Back Section (including the back door) contains the following :

• The back wall complete with “concrete” decoration,  including perspex ‘glass’
• One side wall (of the appropriate size) including “concrete decoration”, windows and perspex ‘glass’ 
• One optional side wall (of the appropriate size) including “concrete decoration”, windows and perspex ‘glass’ 
• An engraved floor ( depending on chosen lift-option)
• A back door (with little door that can be opened)
• A complete first floor with trap door or space for lift  / ceiling to ground floor
• 2 wall posts / 1 joist
• Roof (size 1)
• Windows throughout including perspex ‘glass’

Each Extension (1/2 or 3) comprises :

• One wall (of the appropriate size) including windows and perspex ‘glass’ 
• One optional wall (of the appropriate size) including windows and perspex ‘glass’ 
• An engraved floor (which joins perfectly to all other extension floors)
• A balcony section that can be seemlessly connected to the front and back sections or any other extension
• 2 wall posts / 1 joists
• Roof (of the appropriate size)
• Windows throughout including perspex ‘glass’

Widths

• Extension 1:15,7 cm long and 34 cm wide
• Extension 2: 20,5 cm long and 34 cm wide
• Extension 3: 30 cm long and 34 cm wide

First Floor Options

For each extension there is the option to select the floor desired. In the basic kit we include the balcony option

• Balcony is 10cm wide and is seemlessly joinded to the prior and next sections
• Half Floor is 14cm wide and is seemlessly joinded to the prior and next sections. This will allow the building of (eg) a room box under the floor section
• Full Floor is 28cm wide (full width of the inside area) and is seemlessly joinded to the prior and next sections. 

Entering the building when complete

To enter a building which has walls all around, the easiest way to enter the building is lift the roof up, or remove one or more walls. The removal of walls can be performed by shifting the walls upwards and then out of the frame. The walls can then be replaced afterwards.
