My homemade 1:186 Hogwarts grounds model

[@Eamberlee]

I'm watching this and just waiting for all these little witches and wizards to appear in the windows or in the courtyard. It's so amazing and detailed!

[@Ravenclaw1991]

This is literally one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I've been wanting to do this for a few years. My idea is to have lights inside and everything though. I love this! One of my favourite parts has got to be the Quidditch pitch for some reason!

[@ohlisztomania]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful things I've seen.

[@TheAdminAvatar]

The music combined with this AMAZING creation makes me want to re-read every Harry Potter book again and re-watch the movies. Please, J.K., PLEASE write a book that takes place in the Harry Potter universe. Perhaps about the Mauraders?

[@KelliStauffer]

This deserves more views than it has. Brilliant work.

[@AudioRevive]

10 years later and I'm still amazed with this.

[@glenwu7632]

Sir... I applaud you. Seriously this is the best thing I have ever seen, well done. Absolutely well done. this really is the coolest thing ever and all the memories i've had with Harry Potter came back with this. Again, well done!

[@blainefleeceandfiber2298]

My gosh! You should be very proud of this achievement! What a beautiful thing to make!!! Well done, and thanks for posting with the beautiful movie music!!!

[@totallyawesome53]

[@uhuhuh1966]

If we knew each other and you invited me over to your house, and didn’t warn me and I just saw this masterpiece sitting there...I would cry literal tears and stare at it for hours lol

[@shantam777]

[@ianmartin8420]

Sandrino This is absolutely stunning. to include so much detail within the scale you've built in is amazing. hope to see the Making Of Video real soon. I am currently working on a OO gauge layout with a Potter Theme to include my own take on the various buildings including Hogsmeade & eventually the castle. But like you, I am scratch building everything so I reckon it will take me a couple of years to complete the entire project. Hope you can advise me on the castle blueprints. Cheers Ian

[@riverratbond007]

I saw this on Mugglenet! It looks amazing!

[@darthvader073]

Hi guys! Thanks for all compliments! Now you can finally see how I made it. Since I photographed almost every single process while I was making it, I decided to make a video that will show you pretty much everything you wanted to know ;) Making of my Hogwarts grounds model

[@tylerrobinson6140]

Where did you get the blueprint?

[@darthvader073]

Tyler Robinson I made them myself. I used 3D models and images from the movies as a reference.

[@tylerrobinson6140]

Sandrino Požežanac do you share them?

[@maryparaskeva]

omg

[@darthvader073]

I used pretty much everything I could get, from wood, plaster, plastic and foam. Thanks! :)

[@alexanderhausladen5737]

Very Very good Model

[@ThePeacefulArtist]

Pure Magic!

[@farond13]

Great Work Man

[@dfacrh]

Good job.

[@copo_dagua]

Bloody hell! You're amazing *O*

[@Larisandradet]

OMGGG, THAT'S SO... PERFECT! I don't belive... Is it true? Really, really true?

[@lillyallen1899]

КАК КРАСИВО! ПРОСТО ЗОЛОТЫЕ РУКИ!😍😍

[@StelaSequin]

Dosad sam samo slike vidjela, ovo je predobro :)

[@ryanderson581]

Art.

[@L4DHunter2011]

How on earth... o_o amazing.

[@FreeAmericanSpirit]

How many feet in with and length? How high is it. Great looking job I want to have one built for my train set but I don't know if I could fit it in my space that is why I'm asking how large it is... What a great price of work thanks for showing it...

[@ellens_art_malerei1420]

Wunderschön 👍👍👍👍❤

[@RyssMusic]

do you have a download link for the blueprints?

[@IAmDwightSchrute]

i like your curtains

[@darthvader073]

Thank you :D

[@darthvader073]

Hvala, hvala :D

[@bleedingmasque.6193]

Better than many other attempts at the castle I've seen and believe me, they are pretty bad. This, I would buy for a good price, and definitely would prefer over the $200 model.

[@dqmy55]

Kapa do poda kralju :)

[@annachesca2574]

I've just realised that floral foam is actually toxic. When it is reinforced with a spray paint such as enamel or acrylic does it seal the foam so that particles don't escape from it because i heard that if these particles are inhaled they are dangerous?

[@xingyang101]

Wow, you got some amazing skills there, my man. I do have a question, however. I take it you planned and made this long after you the last move was released. If so, why didn't you make the version of the castle from that movie - the one where the viaduct connects with the main land and where the entrance courtyard is bigger? Also, why not include the entrance to the grounds with the winged boars? Anyway, great job, keep it up! :)

[@JaggerB2001]

its coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!

[@saulopalheta3688]

Perfecto

[@7rowlingharryalways7]

It's amazing! I've just got one question: how did you make it to know the exact structure of the castle? I mean, we've seen in films very different models of Hogwarts, so from where did you take the whole of it? By the way, are you an artist or studying arts or this was just some fan dream to come true? Congratulations.

[@largol33t1]

Just EPIC. Freaking epic. Did you use clay or something similar?

[@awesomecordalla]

You think you're a Harry Potter fan then you see something like this.

[@celinaruan6953]

How did you make the blueprint? Is it possible to have a link because I want to try and make it. It looks so amazing!

[@LuunaBulle]

OK, this is like the most amazing beautiful perfect thing i've seen in my life. Marry me ? Can I order one for my birthday ? the mail'd be so glad aha. Anyway, hats off, this is beyond perfection.

[@lorddurim2588]

can you make a video on how to make your own hogwarts

[@annachesca2574]

Hi, what material did you use for the quidditch flags, is it a type of plastic?

[@ngoktoan]

WOW!!! It's amazing! where do you find the blueprints of the Hogwarts castle? tell me please :)

[@coolappyfizz]

Did you make a vedio about how to make this...? Please give me a link because I want to make this at home.......!!! And you made it soo goooddddd.... I loved it 😘.

[@darthvader073]

Here it is ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWWydXZmn5qbo8U

[@asierdevaidelloso]

with what material did you do your maquet?

[@callumspencer2807]

What were the materials you used to make this? Its amazing! :)

[@zeppeling2000]

How did u do the rockwork? How did u Shap that?

[@zeppeling2000]

Shape*

[@PixelJoker95]

Hi, sorry I haven't seen your question earlier. I did the base from styrofoam, then used plaster to give it a rocky texture. You can see that in my making-of video :)

[@annacheesequeen5667]

Hi, what model from google 3D warehouse did you use, could you send a link please as i want to try this too

[@darthvader073]

+Anna Cheesequeen Hi, I used this one as a base, but I made some improvements on it first (the Great Hall is too small on this model). It depends which version you would like to do. 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=21afbce021a0a877583ae8949bf11b56 And this one is great if you want to make version from the Deathly Hallows: 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=uf5e840dc-5eca-4eb2-b871-da7eef4d4da5

[@lorenzozambrana2938]

I Would Like To Know How You Did It,I would love to make one,I'm such a big Potterhead!Hope that you reply

[@annachesca2574]

Hi, what type of knife did you use to cut the floral foam. As I don't want to buy knife's that will break.

[@darthvader073]

+Anna Chesca Hi, I used regular hobby knife. Floral foam is incredibly easy to cut, so don't worry :)

[@annachesca2574]

Ok thanks. I tried mixing some paint but I couldn't get an earthy look or a grass looks. would you recommend an specific paint

[@annachesca2574]

Sandrino Požežanac Ok thanks. I tried mixing some paint but I couldn't get an earthy look or a grass looks. would you recommend an specific paint

[@darthvader073]

Tnx :D

[@marieagnethepihl8971]

What material is a model produced?

[@darthvader073]

Hi Filip, It's made mostly from the foam, plaster and wood.

[@marieagnethepihl8971]

Where did you get the blueprints?

[@darthvader073]

Hi, I made my own using a lot of reference pictures and 3D models from the Google 3D Warehouse.

[@paradisegunshot]

What are the materials that we're being used to make it?

[@darthvader073]

It's made mostly from the foam, plaster and wood.

[@paradisegunshot]

impressive! nice job

[@darthvader073]

paradisegunshot Thanks! You can also see making of this model. I've just uploaded it.

[@paradisegunshot]

watching it as we speak!

[@patricksimmons2082]

Heya, great model. I have a question for you - are you thinking of selling it? I made a really awesome model myself (castle / temple), perhaps we can work together and find buyers. What do you think?

[@xReasonToDreamx]
