Love it!

I meant, that even if not on your main photos, but maybe in your gallery somehow, you could take some pictures with different lights of the cellar. For example I would turn all lights down, almost off, and take two small flashlights, one blue from the front (you can put a blue transparent whatever in front of the normal light), so that the shadows on the back wall show the shape of the front hole, and one white to infiltrate from the left side hole, to make a ray of light through the whole cellar. Yeah I know I am a bit too in the details, but this cellar is just so amazing, that I would like to see it like that, a little creepy, a little weird. Something like this I mean:

Hi JB! The cellar looks awesome with the broken walls, I would suggest to play more with the lights when taking pictures of it, it would look even more realistic. Opening of the top floor is great. Is that ice hanging from the roof? Looks great, but than you would need some snow on the roof as well. I would like to see more studs, but that is only because I'm a classic fan.

OK. Let's not prejudice anyone, but what is/are this/these building(s), and what is their connection to Harry Potter? Jeanne should clear this mess up. Anyway, since her entry is wrongly addressed, it is not even an entry, so she cannot cheat with a "not-entry". (I think)

Thanks! And the same to you! It's a small world! I've seen your Privet Drive 4, too. Everyone should see that. Those windows and curtains...ahhh...

Thank you for bringing this up, I have seen these pictures, too, and to be honest, they became a big part of my motivation, because I wanted to show, that this cottage is not that ugly, small and grey, if you read HP my way. It was nice though, to see, that them and me are inspired by the same book, but reading it totally differently. Thanks again.

Hello to all, First of all, thanks for organizing such contests, and congrats to everybody participating. All creations are incredible, so it is even more pleasure to present my Shell Cottage to you. I have built Shell Cottage for you. This building has not appeared yet on any HP movies, only in the book, so I read the most original description of this little house (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 25, Shell Cottage) and tried to stick to it as strictly as I could with the piece limit stated in the rules. It was quite an experience to build this way. I almost have been dragged away by the imagination, but at the final counting I was just within the limit with 975 pieces. I hope you will enjoy looking at it just as much as I enjoyed every hour of building it. From the outside I tried to keep the cottage-look. I wanted to remember Dobby as well with his white stone grave near the building. „Bill and Fleur’s cottage stood alone on a cliff overlooking the sea, its walls embedded with shells and whitewashed. It was a lonely and beautiful place.” The chimney was built outside, I always liked that feature of an old house.” The other side of the „airy, light cottage” is open, to be able to play with in the six rooms given. Upstairs „…in the tiniest of the cottage’s three bedrooms, in which Hermione and Luna slept by night…” the bed can be easily removed with a wand whisk, to reveal Griffindor’s Sword, „a low chair”. This „cupboard-like room” has a „…fiery glow…” There is Griphook’s bedroom with a shorter bed, a hat-stand and a lockable commode (Goblins like to keep their stuff safe), and since the guys (Harry, Ron and Dean) were sleeping in sleeping bags, I thought they could sleep even in a library room with a comfortable black leather sofa, a standing lamp with reading light, a table that can be turned around, and of course a bookshelf. Downstairs there is the „combined dining and sitting room” with a fireplace (a little personal joke: the wand-holder next to the front door) and the kitchen. When building, I like to think like a LEGO designer and think of the children who would play with my creations, therefore I designed the first floor to be easily dismounted from the groundfloor (along with the chimney), so they can use the whole space. Take a look at more photos (nice close-ups, too) of this cottage in my Brickshelf Gallery: My link

Hi Everybody! Many many Congrats to the winners, even more to the people who organized the whole thing. I would like to add, that all entries were breathtakingly amazing. To those who did not get prize: don't give up, build more, learn and experience building-technics, enter more competitions, see you there. BUILD ON! Thanx again. Sarkanyapu

Hi All, I have designed an MOC with LDD. It represents the Hungarian Parliament Building, in the smallest possible scale I could imagine. I thought I will put it into Architecture theme, but since there is no such a thing, I think it is "Other". It is made of 1785 pcs (including the park and the river Danube). I was always a big fan of the Architecture line of LEGO, so I wondered why not try to make a hungarian building accepted by the audience. I tried, here is the result: This is the link to the .lxf file: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=434496 And here are some pictures as well: Hope you enjoy and like my creation. It is fully buildable. Thank you for your time and attention. Please reply and tell me your opinion. Build on! Sarkanyapu
