LX495-OO Overshot Waterwheel - OO/4mm/1:76

A laser cut kit to build a detailed, realistic, overshot waterwheel to add to the side of a mill or factory building. This waterwheel is designed to sit under a high-level water flow, such as a wooden leat or channel with the water then flowing away from underneath via a river or stream. 

This kit is easy to build and can be painted with acrylic paints & weathered with your favourite weathering powders. Construction is very straightforward with laser cut mdf and laserboard components for a crisp, detailed, realistic finish. 

Also included with the kit is a sturdy length of steel wire which can be used as the central axle, giving you the opportunity to motorise the wheel if you so desire with the use of a small motor & gearbox combination inside the building (not included).
