Windmills

IS it just me or are the winmills in MO
seriously out of proportion. When you standing outside there about 15m tall but when you get inside there like 40m tall. Man im really gettin to realize how mny mistakes there are in MO.

Well, a theory I have is that the Industrials are experimenting with teleporters and shrinking technoledgy. Or you could look at the "OWI screwed up" viewpoint concerning the brewery to be. Personally, I like to keep my glass half-full, rather than half-empty.

In my case, a glass half full would be that OWI made a simple mistake - shrinking technology? I pray not...

i would rather half my glass half full...but i always wondered that too, another one of those terrible "cartoon mishaps" that counted so many in MO, a ridiculously enormous space being inside a small windmill. And shrinking technology, WTF!? Honey, i shrunk the windmill.

Well I just figured that the bottom of the windmill was the bottom of the hill it was on.

You almost had me there, Nath, for almost five seconds you had me thinking about it. But then I realised inside the Windmill the three protruding chumbers/entrance halls lie in accordance with those outside, on the top of the small plateau.

As soon as I clicked Submit Reply button, I realised that myself. But it was a good idea though.

Well the windmill was originally ment to be huge but it wasn't. check this pic out and you will see the original size it was ment to be and to what we got in the end. This is what the original Munch was going to be on PS2



A lot better from what we got don't you think? Well Steef will make up for that.

I don't think their are sligs

here is the good size...

it's the good scale, if you compare it to the interior of the Windmill Temple

in fact it's the outside scale with is wrong
