[MOC] Trespassing The Old Wizard House

[Perterz]

After a few digital MOCs lately, it was a blast to actually build with real LEGO bricks.

 

This MOC started as a concept back in October 2019 and was put aside while working on my previous released MOCs.

 

Finally took the time to finish it up, main feature of the MOC must be the roof technique I guess. No nets were used, this is achieved by clipping various bits on flex tubes across the roof line.

I saw this on Flickr. Very cool build! I like the roof a lot. Gives some good inspiration for me.

This is very nice. I thought the roof was achieved by using nets. Seems that it's not. Would you be willing to share a picture on part of the process with flextubes? Thanks a lot in advance

Thank you! Indeed, the whole roof is constructed with clips on flextubes.

this is actually the only picture I took of the roof in WIP stage:

Excellent build.  I like the way the part with the window leans outward.  The roof is great, and really nice texturing with the walls.  The pathway is neat, and the landscaping is nice with all the plates and plant pieces.

Thanks for the WIP picture! I really looking forward to try this one time.

You should try it out ? 

But be carefull, it’s trial and error and frustrating sometimes as some parts could be fragile while constructing it.

Thanks for the WIP picture. Much appreciated

Amazing. I'm always impressed by these cottages with irregular structure, leaning walls and crooked roof. Thanks for sharing the roof detail, it's really good to see how it's done. I guess it's not so stable to move around?

While building there were fragile parts in the walls but they became stable while building the roof. The flextubes across tje roof added a lot to the stability of the build. 

I moved the finished MOC from my building area downstairs to my closet upstairs and it was the tree that was the least stable part of the MOC, the house stood strong.
