For complete building instructions and instructional videos, please visit the main web site at www.hirstarts.com/watermill/watermill.html. Using these plans alone will not give you enough information to build the water mill. Please note that this is a fairly large and complex project. If this is your first building project using Hirst Arts molds, I strongly suggest you choose a more simple project instead. This project uses six different Hirst Arts molds. The number of castings needed are: 20 castings of mold #226, wooden beam mold 16 castings of mold #225, half timber mold 15 castings of mold #253, brick panel mold 10 castings of mold #263, rubble block mold 10 castings of mold #230 clay tile roof mold 8 castings of mold #227, tavern window and door mold This project is designed so that you do not have to make the river or water wheel portion of the mill if you do not want to. If you leave these off, you can simply make a nice looking two-story house. However, you will have a few extra unused castings if you do this. Please do the steps below in order. Step 1: Castings and Printed Plans. Cast all of the molds and sort the pieces. If you place all of the pieces from one mold on a sheet of cardboard, it will be easier to find the pieces you need and move them out of the way when you don’t need them. After printing these plans, several pages will need to be taped together to form a larger plan. Below is a diagram of which pages need assembled.

For complete building instructions and instructional videos, please visit the main web site atwww.hirstarts.com/watermill/watermill.html. Using these plans alone will not give you enough information to buildthe water mill.

Please note that this is a fairly large and complex project. If this is your first building project using Hirst Arts molds, Istrongly suggest you choose a more simple project instead.

This project uses six different Hirst Arts molds. The number of castings needed are:20 castings of mold #226, wooden beam mold

16 castings of mold #225, half timber mold15 castings of mold #253, brick panel mold

10 castings of mold #263, rubble block mold10 castings of mold #230 clay tile roof mold

8 castings of mold #227, tavern window and door mold

This project is designed so that you do not have to make the river or water wheel portion of the mill if you do notwant to. If you leave these off, you can simply make a nice looking two-story house. However, you will have a few extraunused castings if you do this.

Please do the steps below in order.Step 1: Castings and Printed Plans.Cast all of the molds and sort the pieces. If you place all of the pieces from one mold on a sheet of cardboard, it will beeasier to find the pieces you need and move them out of the way when you don’t need them.

After printing these plans, several pages will need to be taped together to form a larger plan. Below is a diagram ofwhich pages need assembled.

Step 2: Gluing wood and stone sections.Glue together the following wood and stone sections:

B1 bottom floor T1 top floor R4 roof dormer peaksB2 main beams (7) T2 main beams (6) R5 roof dormer windowsB7 chimney bottom T6 bay window sideB8 lower fireplace T7 bay window W4 wooden wheel(don’t glue mantle onto fireplace) T8 bay window side W5 stone wheel supportB9 stairway T10 chimney top (12 wooden paddles aroundB10 large braces T11 upper fireplace the wheel will be painted onB11 small braces T12 porch front top all sides along with this group.)B12 porch side braces T13 porch front railingB13 porch side railing T14 porch side bracesB14 porch front brace T15 porch side railingB15 porch front railing T16 stair railingB16 front and side doors (2) T17 upper front door

Floor sections B1 and T1 can be glued to thin card stock or matt board. You can lay the plans for B1 and T1 over cardstock, poke holes in the corners, connect the dots and use this as a guide as to where to spread the glue on the floor.

Step 3: Cutting the water base.If you intend to make the water level, you will need 1/2” thick insulating foam. Lay the plans for W1, W2 and W3 over thefoam and poke holes through the plan into the foam. Then connect the dots and accurately cut the three foam shapes.Glue the W2 and W3 foam slabs together. Cut the bank edges in a slop towards the water. You may even want to cut arock texture into the banks. Glue the rubble blocks around W3 to form the foundation stone under the house. Also gluethe stones onto the face of W2. If your foam is slightly thicker than 1/2”, then be sure the stones of the foundation areflush with the top of the foam. The gap underneath can be covered with ground scenic materials later on.

Cut out the riverbed printed texture and varnish it down onto W1. Glue paper on the underside of the hole in W1 andpaint the bottom of the hole brown. W2 and W3 will be glued down to W1 after the stone foundation and banks arepainted.

Step 4: Painting the pieces and base.Review the pieces list on page 23 of these plans. All of these pieces will be prepainted individually before gluing themtogether to form walls. Since this is an exact count of the pieces you will need, it’s a good idea to paint a couple extraof each piece in case you break or lose a piece.

Start with the brick panels. Use permanent double stick tape to stick down the brick panels onto pieces of cardboard.The backs of the pieces may need to be sanded slightly in order to stick. Split five of the 1” x 2” vertical brick panelsdown the center and split one of the 2” square sections as well. Spray paint these a flat or satin almond color. When dry,stain them with brown shoe polish and wipe off the excess.

Next are the half timber and decorative window pieces. Look on the parts list on page 23 and stick these piecesdown to chunks of cardboard. These may also need sanding on the back side. All of these timbers and windows will bespray painted flat black (don’t forget the three iron straps from mold #226).

Spray paint flat black all of the wooden and stone sections that you assembled on step 1 of these instructions.

Hand paint W2 and W3 (stone foundation and banks) flat black using thinned down acrylic paint. You cannot spraypaint these because spray paint will dissolve the foam.

Dry brush all wooden pieces with medium brown from the earth tone colors. Mask off the stone sections on floors B1and T1, then heavily dry brush all stone pieces using the same medium brown. Afterwards, lightly dry brush all stonesections with light gray from the castle gray colors. Dry brush all hinges and straps with silver.

Step 5: Building the remaining walls.Assemble wall sections B3, B4, B5, B6, T3, T4, T5 and T9 using all prepainted brick panels and timbers. Wait to glue onfireplaces and items with hinges until after the walls are assembled, otherwise wall will not lay flat when gluing on theback side.

Paint the insides of the doorways and the tops of the wall sections with raw umber paint (or some color that looksappropriate). This will hide the light brick color that’s sandwiched between the dark planks. Paint black on the insides ofthe chimney and dry brush black around the fireplace openings and chimney top.

Step 6: Gluing the walls onto the floors.Glue the bottom floor pieces B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 onto the B1 floor to form a complete circle of wall. Glue the porchpieces B2, B12, B13, B14 and B15. Do not glue on the chimney yet. Once dry, flip this first floor upside down and gluethe B10 and B11 braces onto the outsides of the wall.

Glue the top floor pieces T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, and T9 onto the T1 floor to form a complete circle of wall. Assemblethe upper porch using pieces T2, T12, T13, T14 and T15.

To determine where the chimney should go, set the first floor of the house down onto the foundation (or onto page 14 ofthe plan if you didn’t make a foundation). Set the second floor down on top of the first floor so they line up. Glue thebottom and top chimneys onto the sides of the house, making sure that the right side of the chimney aligns with thecenter peak of the house.

Step 7: Finishing the water base.Glue W2 and W3 down onto W1 foam base. Glue the wooden insert into the W5 stone wheel support. Glue the wooden

paddle template (looks like a saw blade) onto some heavy card stock and cut it out. Use this as a guide to glue thewooden paddles into the water wheel. Slide a B2 beam through the water wheel (trimming will be needed) and positionthe water wheel according to the instructions on the web site. The B2 beam should not interfere with setting the houseinto position on the foundation.

Dam around the outside edges of the river using strips of insulating foam with packaging tape stuck to them. Pin these inplace around the river and seal all edges using 5 minute epoxy. Mix up 12 ounces of Envirotex Lite and add foodcoloring; 5 drops blue, 5 drops green and 2 drops red. Mix this up and pour it into your river. When cured, remove thestrips and trim off any excess plastic. Varnish the wooden wheel with gloss varnish. Use acrylic gloss medium to texturethe water. Finish the dry land by painting it a dirt color and gluing on ground foam scenic materials.

Step 8: Making the roof.Lay the roof plans for R1 and R2 onto thick card stock and poke holes in the corners. Remove the plan and connect thedots, then cut the outside shape of the roof. Across the main peak, cut only halfway down into the card stock so the roofwill fold properly. The small side roof on R1 will need to be cut underneath so this part will fold upwards. Test fit the roofonto the building and trim as needed. Glue the roof tiles from mold #230 into place on the roof and glue on the peaktiles. Tiles on the plan that look “broken” will need to be trimmed to fit properly. This can be done using tile nippers and afile.

Roof section R2 will need to be assembled separately. Find a good 90 degree angled peak surface to set the card stockroof section over and glue on the roof tiles, extending over the angled back edge. Also glue on the peak tiles. Once dry,the back edge of the roof will need to be carefully clipped and sanded to fit against the R1 main roof. Once it fitsproperly, glue it into place and then fill any large gaps between R1 and R2 with paintable caulking.

Once completely dry, glue three of the 90 degree angle supports (found on page 36) underneath R1 and oneunderneath R2 . These can be made from cardboard or foam core board. Be sure these are at least one inch in from theedge of the roof.

Lay the roof plans for R3 onto thin card stock and poke holes in the corners. Remove the plan and connect the dots,then cut the outside shape of the roof. Do this for two small roofs. Fold these down the center line, lay them over a 90degree peak surface and glue on the roof tiles and pieak tiles.

Completely paint all three roof sections (main assembled roof and two dormer roofs). Spray paint them with rust coloredprimer and then dry brush them with medium pink.

When dry, glue together the R3, R4 and R5 pieces to form the completed dormers. After the glue dries, trim and sandthe back edge of the dormer roofs to fit flat against the existing roof and glue them into place. It really doesn’t matterhow you position them, but try to put the edges of the dormers resting on the top peaks of the tiles so you don’t havedeep grooves around the edges of the dormers.

Touch up any places with paint that need it. Many times, planks will have a white edge showing where they connect to awall beam.
