adotnamedstud Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I started this at about 9AM and it's finished around 2PM. That's kinda nice, huh? The original set doesn't have too much to it, started off as an idea to split the 8x8 into three sections ala 2 2x8's on hinges with a 4x8 in the middle but that was idiotic and I immediately ditched the idea. The mirror does turn to reveal the stone, an inaccuracy to the film but a fun feature I decided to keep regardless. And of course, the figures. Quote
Huigberts Builds Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Wow these keep getting better and better. Back in the day it was such a pain for me to get my hands on this set, it's really nostalgic to me. I love that you kept the rotating function, the burning steps are my favourite part. It keeps blowing my mind how the old torsos still hold up until this day, really like what you've done. Quote

I thought transitioning old and new would be a bit troublesome but it’s proving itself worthwhile! Quote
IzzyLEGOFreak Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Holy wow, that is amazing! So many people on this site are so talented, I don't have the patience to make MOCs Quote
Tariq j Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Really good work I like how you've made the set more open. I'm also liking the various architecture on the top of the wall. Good use of the 1x1 circular tile pieces too! Quote

Maintaining it and having it feel like a dungeon was pretty hard but apparently it’s pretty good! Quote

Decat Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Nice! I put the stone behind the mirror in my Great Hall tower, a better fit than fawkes for sure! Quote
Nick Wolfe Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 This looks great! I love this whole little series you've been doing, they're all great takes on the old sets. The new mirror of Erised looks pretty good in there and you did an excellent job capturing the look of the room from the movie. Quirrel's head is on backwards tho lol (the twisted Voldemort face is on the back of his head) I think it would be really cool to see your remakes be stackable like the original sets. When I was a kid I always thought it was so neat that you could combine the sets into a bigger castle. I wouldn't be sure how to do that without overshadowing your great details, though. Maybe just placing them on tiers behind one another to display. I really can't wait for more of these in any case! Quote
Ponury Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 I love those remakes! I've got all retro HP sets and it's so cool to see them being remade. What else are you gonna build? :)) Quote
notarealperson Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 nice moc i kinda want to do something similar Quote
ShishOK Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Wow, that's so nostalgic) I like that you've given the old torso to professor Quirrel, 'cause the new one is so wrong. Quote
