yeah, cloths like that which are flat with a few bumps can can easily be faked with a bump/opacity map.

it'd probably be easier with normal maps, but i know nothing about the process of making or applying them.

But really, you don't need a lot of polys to make models look good, just look at some of the latest Generation of PS2,Xbox games, or some of the first generation PS3,360 games.

Thanks for the picture....I will try to add as many details as possible on it, but I cannot promise that I will add the 'cloth' (since my PC is not so powerful to have too many polygons)

Thanks :)

Thanks for all the replies :) I will change the textures on another update. As for the 'fan', actually I also feel that it's a bit too 'simple', but I can't find any close look of it....if any of you can give me a reference picture, I will greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks and have a nice day :)

Well, let's see, considering that the bottom of the windmill has moss growing over it almost up to half the height of the door, the rest of it looks too "brand new" maybe if you could hadd some darkening "rotting" to the wood, and, for the lack of a better word, defile the fan (is that what it's called?) because it's also too flawless.

Mrcool is right, give it a older look, other that that it looks really cool, keep it up and post more updates.:D
