[MOC] HP Second Triwizard Task - The Black Lake and Merpeople

[gilderoy_blockhart]

Come seek us where our voices sound,

We cannot sing above the ground,

An hour long you'll have to look,

To recover what we took.

 

Very pleased to bring you my MOC of the Second Task from the Triwizard Tournament. The scene under the Black Lake with the Merpeople is my favourite - how more magical can you get? My goal was to really try to get that 'underwater' feeling and to create the illusions of 'depth' that you see in the movie. I only included a few pictures here, but I have a lot more on my IG account so do take a look. Hope you enjoy !!!!

And in my opinion you managed to! While looking at your images I can hear sound of water. 

I particularly like how you created the shoal (not sure this is the right word for a group of fish) in the lakebed, the background all around with transparent and gray pieces and the columns holding up the lake.

I hope LEGO will give us a Second Task set the next year. Not as big as yours, obviously, otherwise I would have to sell my collection just for have space in my home

Thanks for your compliments ! I really enjoyed putting this together though it took a lot of experimenting and rebuilding - which is the fun part of course ! Waiting for bricklink orders, not so much !

I agree... it'd be amazing to get a molded grindylow (sp?) as they've already made molded Cornish pixies. Definitely not a UCS version, LOL !

Stunning MOC. Your use of translucent bricks for the wall is a wonderful idea.

Thank you ! Took a bit of work to find all those trans green and purple bricks in the quantities at not too outrageous a price. I too really like the way it turned out too !
