Blackknight8 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) First of all, I did not create the design of this MOC myself. It is based on the design of ryankroboth from r/lego on Reddit (Link to the creators original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/anrvwq/after_months_of_designing_then_building_then/). I only made some minor modifications myself, along with creating the island with dumbledore’s tomb. I decided to undertake this build because I thought the official set was incomplete. Now, 3 months later, I am finally done. I thought you might enjoy a small YouTube video I made of the finished build, since the original creator never uploaded a video. I even included some scenes from the movies using nanoscale figures at the end of the video. Be aware that the video contains Harry Potter spoilers! I apolagize if I am breaking any rules by linking to my own channel, but I did not see any rules against this when I checked. I have been following the eurobricks board for years, but I am making my first post now because I now have something quite unique to show off?

neonic Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Well, I'm not such a Harry Potter fan, so I don't know much of it but what I do know is that it looks great I like the whole thing, I've seen a lot of creative use of parts and the color scheme helps also. Great lightning too, especially on the 'halls'. Maybe it is an idea to make some underground, instead of the table. Maybe some water or ... Quote
BacktoBricks Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 This is amazing. Kudos to you and the original designer. Even watching the video I'm just itching to play around with scenes (love how Dumbledore is just lying there lol). On another note, I couldn't help but notice the empty shelves in the video. This is a rare occurrence for a Lego fan. Do you plan on filling these or did you have to sell your entire collection to afford this? ? 25000 + pieces is just mind blowing. Quote

The shelf is new, so that is why it is completely empty. I also had to buy a new table for the finished model since the footprint is so large. In total, the 25,000 bricks were not too expensive. I managed to buy 2 of the original hogwarts sets at about 35% off, and then I bricklinked the rest. Maybe somewhere between USD 1,500-1,700 including shipping, VAT and import tax. Glad that most pieces were inexpensive because they Are mostly 1x1. The worst part of the build was the 25-30 hours I spent on bricklink tracking down and ordering parts while updating the enormous parts list. I had to recreate the «Snape kills Dumbledore» moment! Mostly because it is so memorable due to the online spoiler hysteria. I have some more photos I will post when I am back home. Edited September 6, 2019 by Blackknight8 Quote
