[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 169130, member: 2414"] I acutually started out trying to use the schmatics for the castle as per the half blood prince which came with a great book about the making of Harry Potter, but that only provided the footprint for the building, the problem with that was the castle is different to the one in Chamber and so on, so while i was able to get a basic footprint, if i wanted to add back areas that weren't in Halfblood then i had to get a little creative. Once above ground it is all build and see what happens and a few parts have been built and pulled down a few times as i dont like them. Actually part of the great hall will get that treatment soon. I built in lights so the fireplace inside actualy 'works' but i used the power functions to do this but want to convert to a simpler light brick now. I have tried a hogmead before but in an open back style which would now not work with this modular style so back to the drawing board with that, but it will be next year before i get there i think and even then i am out of space (my wife is less than happy about the spare room turning into a castle). Anyway - Thanks for the comments, glad you like it. [/QUOTE]
