This is the third and last post covering my King's Cross MOC (my own creation). In the previous posts, we've looked at the facade, the roof design and some of the interior details from when it was under construction. Now it is time to have a look at the completed model...
There are only two weeks left till the first public display of my model of King's Cross station, so I better press on. Last update focused on the facade itself. This time, I'll show how the inside has progressed - and not least the roof covering it...
Generally, I build something and after having built and then rebuilt it several times over a few months to improve the outcome, I'll write it all up in a very long post. This time, I am building King's Cross station and have decided to break it up into smaller bits as the build progresses. Here is part 1 - enjoy...
I haven't reviewed any books previously, though there have been plenty of LEGO Harry Potter related books released in recent years. Most of these have hardly any interesting content (for an adult fan) even when considering the rather generic minifigures included. There are a few that deserves attention though - including "LEGO Harry Potter - Build your own Adventure" from last year. Here is why I like that one...
Already the opening scenes of the the first Harry Potter movie introduce us to number 4 Privet Drive, with Harry being left by the doorstep of the house that would become his home after the tragic death of his parents. While he hated his time there, it had some really memorable moments, and it was therefore no big surprise to see it featured among the 2020 LEGO Harry Potter sets. It is an amazing set, but with some modifications, you can make it even better. Here is how...
In my review of the otherwise amazing Hagrid's Hut set in 2019 I commented on the open back, which is good for playability and doesn't detract from displays where generally viewed from the front. But for various reasons some may like to add a back to it. So last month I sat down with some extra bricks to look for solutions.
Of all the shops in Diagon Alley, Quality Quidditch Supplies was probably Harry Potter’s favourite. He visited it often when he stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for three weeks (in the Prisoner of Azkaban), since the new Firebolt racing broom had just been introduced that summer and one was on display in the shop window. So this had to be the next Diagon Alley shop for me to model. Here is where I got to...
Already the opening scenes of the movies introduces us to number 4 Privet Drive, with Harry being delivered on the doorstep of the house that would become his home after the tragic death of his parents. While Harry hated his time there, the home was an integral part of the story and some of the most memorable scenes happened there (poor aunt Marge). As result, 4 Privet drive has both been released as an official set and been built by many fans as well, as we shall look at here.
It has been under way for a while, but finally Harry and his friends can now get a sweet treat while doing their shopping at Diagon Alley. This model of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour supplements the buildings I've previously designed: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and the Flourish and Blotts bookstore. Let's take a closer look...
