greg3 Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Hi Been having play around with my current official Hogwarts sets to try and create a more enclosed structure. Decided not to worry about movie accuracy or MOD/MOC any parts but to try and use as many official builds as possible. Here's the result... (apologies for the poor photos) Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr A quick tour... The Clock Tower is the main student entrance (I imagine it to be at the end of a long winding footpath). Beside it is the hall and main tower. Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr "Lakeside" boat dock, and vehicle entrance arch (for delivery wagons, carriages etc) Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Formal entrance - Important guests from other schools, The Ministry etc are received here... Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr The Astronomy Tower and green house bring us back to where we started. Untitled by g.nat, on Flickr Overall I think it looks pretty good - it doesn't take up too much room, and the interiors can all be accessed. The only sections I didn't use were the moving dancing bit from the clock tower and the Room of Requirement (it wasn't required but can be squeezed inside if needed!!) I might bend my no MODding rule and do something about the open sides/white frames on the astronomy tower and maybe move the small turret above "vehicle entrance" to the other side of the arch to mako it look more balanced. Thanks for looking - comments are always welcome!! Edited August 16, 2020 by greg3 Quote
Murdoch17 Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Awesome job on making it all work, and I too removed the dancing feature from my castle. I may have to keep this layout in mind for my version of Hogwarts, but I have an extra (updated to the current standards) MOC section of the 2010 / 2011 version of set 4867, Hogwarts from Deathly Hallows pt. 2, so it will be lopsided a bit. What will you do if they release a new section next year? Edited August 16, 2020 by Murdoch17 Quote

Good question... hopefully it'll be a nice straight section and not have any weird angles in it!! (I'm not that familiar with the different parts of Hogwarts fan so I'm not sure which bits we're missing.... a bathroom section for the troll maybe?) Quote
