Dioramist Dirk Kuhlmann once did a Archistories YouTube video on their motorized water mill model. Featured in the video was a mill stone prop that I don’t recall being part of the kit.
At any rate I’m looking for a couple of mill stones and wonder if anyone has a source? Or an idea how to make one? My carving skills aren’t the greatest.

Do you mean this item?  Pretty sure that's in the kit. And a quick message to "the man" confirms that it is in the kit. |

Surely not. I was answering to the question of whether it was in the kit or not. 😊

You can purchase Dremel stones that are a perfect size for use as a mill stone, and as an added bonus, it is made of actual stone material. I have seen them in pink, gray, brown, and green.

FWIW you can buy assortments of "Dremel tool attachments" for way less than "official" Dremel branded pieces.

If you are in the USA tell me what you want size shape color and if I have something close I’ll send it.

Why not try 3D-printing in polyamide (SLS) at Shapeways ? It has a slightly rough surface and can be painted with acrylics ... You could add to Your order of the fire tower, so You have only to pay shipment fees once ...

You could add to Your order of the fire tower, so You have only to pay shipment fees once ... That’s a great idea if I can’t manage to make a realistic one out of Paper Clay. I have a small mill stone here in my garden to use as a model. 🤞🏻 |

you can do it your self with a styrene pipe (or a plastic bead) and a bit of sanding

Special thanks to husafreak for sending me a small Dremel stone. After a bit of roughing up, it makes a very convincing mill stone.
