Parrothead Rasmus Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) This idea started when I viewed Geertos13's Professor Slughorn's Classroom MOC. I had been trying to find the perfect official LEGO torso to use for a Slughorn. Geertos13 solved my dilemma, and I am forever grateful to him! Henry Jones' torso made perfect sense! So, I made my version of Slughron with Henry Jones Sr.'s body, Dumbledore's head (the side without glasses) and a gray "gentlemen's" hairpiece. Next, I put the figure into a little vignette, which you can see below- (Full MOC and detail) After photgraphing the model and posting it to my flickr, I still wasn't satisfied. So, I made a larger MOC, which can be viewed below-[ (Full MOC) (Detail) Then, I said, why not make another? So, I did. Since time for me is rather tight right now, I kept the same structure with a few minor tweaks for my next classroom, which would become Professor McGonagall's. (Full MOC) (Detail) I hope to make some more soon, so I'll post another soon. Feedback and comments would be mighty appreciated. Thanks for viewing!

Geertos13 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Ooh this is really cool! Why am I the first one to comment on this great creation? Well, anyways, I think this is a lovely piece of work Parrothead Rasmus! Harry Potter Classrooms are always fun to make, and I think you did a really nice job on these first two MOCs. I really like all the little detail you put into both the scenes. Especially the fact that you have changed the furniture for both classrooms. So these two larges models are really good! I maybe would have like to see some bigger changes between both classes, in both furniture and maybe design. I think every classroom has it's own feeling to it, and It's own wonderful colors and ambiance. I think that, if you keep using the same base-building, it takes away a bit of the personality of the teacher. I like how you added the pillars and arches for McGonnagal's class though, BUT, don't get me wrong here, it looks very good, but I just think it is slightly unfitting for Mcgonnagal. Not that here classroom is supposed to be unpleasant, but I would have gone for a more squarish design, with more straight lines, instead of these smooth arches, but that's your choise afterall, and I might be a bit over thinking the meanings of the design. As for the rest, as you made Slughorn the potions master, does that mean Snape gets his own creepy Defense against the dark arts classroom? If so, I'm looking forward to it! so keep up the good work and hope to see more from your mocs soon!!! PS: Thanks for the advertisment! I love that Torso too! I prefer my mustache version though, as it it close to both Broadbent's everchanging expressions and the missing mustache from the books! Edited August 1, 2011 by Geertos13 Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks, Geertos13! I'm actually planning on redoing McGonagall's. Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Wow ! Great job here. I love the details. Thanks to you as well! Quote
Skipper Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 They all have a rather "cozy" feel. Nice use of the green glass piece to make a lamp. Where are those window pieces from? Are they customs? Quote
Vindicare Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Those are both very good MOCs. I like them. Lego needs to make a balding hairpiece(although I don't know how they'd attach it. unless they made it like Mauls new horn piece). Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Excellent classrooms 'Parrothead Rasmus', great custom Slughorn too ! Keep on casting spells ! Quote

Those are both very good MOCs. I like them. Lego needs to make a balding hairpiece(although I don't know how they'd attach it. unless they made it like Mauls new horn piece). Thanks. Considering what TLG is doing with their collectable minifigures, there my be a hairpiece with a receding hairline look to them in the near or distant future! Excellent classrooms 'Parrothead Rasmus', great custom Slughorn too ! Keep on casting spells ! Swish and flick! And I don't mean that in a creepy way. Edited August 2, 2011 by Parrothead Rasmus Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 That looks awesome Thanks! Quote
Vindicare Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks. Considering what TLG is doing with their collectable minifigures, there my be a hairpiece with a receding hairline look to them in the near or distant future! Definitely. Some of the accessories that have come with the CMFs were a big shock to me, and all the great new hairpieces. Again, now that we have the horn piece for Darth Maul, that opens up new hair molds for balding men. Quote

Vindice Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 My first comment here, is great MOC! love the feel to it, and at that sort of size and detail you should do a whole castle! Would be a massive undertaking but I'd love to see it in this scale. Second comment, after having just been to your flickr gallery, your photography is awesome! There are some really great pics on there and I'd recommend anyone who hasn't already clicked the link to do so. Quote

I had tons of photos on my flickr before, but I will not pay for a pro account. It's simply a matter of picking which photos I think are the best. So, thanks again! Quote
Vindice Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Well i don't blame you at all, but the framing of the photos was particularly good. You can teach photography but it's not so easy to teach people how to frame things artistically like you did. Quote

Red Bricks Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I. Love. You. I have been trying to make a Transfiguration Classroom for about a week now but I can never get it right. If you don't mind I am going to use yours as a template for it. P.S. Where did you get those windows from Quote

I believe those two are from the Shrieking Shack (the set came with a rather small and wimpy Honeydukes, which the windows were part of). Quote
Skipper Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I like it, but I think it looks too similiar to Slughorn's classroom. Maybe add some cages for the animals? Regardless it's a nice moc, and I like this classroom layout with the stairs more than the last one . Quote

Regardless it's a nice moc, and I like this classroom layout with the stairs more than the last one . I'm purposely leaving the shape of the structure the same. And, I tried cages, but it didn't end well. I was considering a monkey, but it was far to large. If you have any suggestions, please tell. And thanks. Quote
Internets Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 You could use the new mortarboard for Slughorn teaching Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 You could use the new mortarboard for Slughorn teaching Mortarboard from what. I must know! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Very nice classrooms! I like the magic potions on the shelves! Quote
