Add the Hogwarts Castle to your Architecture collection.
A lot of talented builders have worked on this iconic castle and made astonishing creations, but most of them where enormous; really expensive or didn’t use all existing pieces.
I tried to make Hogwarts as close and detailed as possible to the movie versions (yes, plural, the castle changes a lot in the movies) while maintaining a size that is comparable to other offical Architecture sets. It was a struggle to use only existing and non rare parts-color combinations to keep price low, but i think I managed it.
As a funny plus the instructions also include some info on the various buildings taken from https://harrypotter.fandom.com, so you might learn something new when building.
Notes:
- I used the new Stud.io Part Designer for the Hogwarts Castle tile in instructions and renders. A png to print for a 1×8 tile is also provided with the instructions.
- The interior has a lot of yellow bricks (which normally are cheaper) but you can change to whichever color you want because they are not visible once completed. Bascially every yellow piece in part list can be substituted, just don’t change all the 1×1 pieces, as they are used in the quiddich pitch and need indeed to be yellow.
