Day 19: Bag 19 today! In this penultimate entry in our advent challenge, we finish off the exterior of floor one. We also focus the majority of the build on the interior details of Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. There are ornate bannisters, railings and product boxes. There’s also an angled window feature for just above Knockturn […]
Day 18: Bag 18 today! After today’s bags I feel like I’m edging closer to the finish line with this challenge. We now have the majority of the shell of the first floor complete, along with a couple of inner embelishments; most notable of which is the shop mascot, whose arms reach outside the windows […]
Day 17: Bag 17 today! Work begins on floor one of Weasley’s Wizard Weezes today, but not before we finished off the rounded window units of the ground floor. They look fantastic – carrying on the bowed window style from Ollivanders. That orange really pops, and now that we get to add some height to […]
Day 16: Bag 16 today! Stickers!!! Aggghhh!!! – I both love and hate stickers! On one hand they look so good, but on the other they can take a lot of trial and error placing them – especially if you’re a perfectionist (like me). I’m mainly talking about the stairs… each step has a sticker […]
Day 15: Bag 15 today! We begin work on the final building in the Diagon Alley set; Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. There’s also the alleyway for Knockturn Alley, which is minimal but ticks the box with its wonky sign and foreboding black archway. The cobbled street effect for this build is greatly reduced compared to the […]
Day 14: Bag 14 today! The roof goes on to both shops today; love the sloping back of Flourish & Blotts, juxtaposed with the dark brown of Fortesques. There are some lovely little accents that finish off the build, too, including a mini seating motif on the roof of Fortesques, white chairs with white horn […]
Day 13: Bag 13 today! Today we started on floor one of Flourish & Blotts; the interfloor fascia is complete with an overhanging lip and outside of the build-up of the walls, the majority of this bag focuses on the interior. There’s another bookcase, a book stack, a spellbook, lamp and an interior ‘Flourish & […]
Day 12: Bag 12 today! Today sees the addition of the shop fascias for Flourish & Blotts and Fortesques. I particularly love the angled fascias on the former! Possibly my favourite part of today’s build are the book racks outside Flourish & Blotts; anyone who has explored the backstreets of London’s St. Martin’s Lane, will […]
Day 11: Bag 11 today! Work continues on Flourish & Blotts and Fortesque with the bright yellow shop front of the Fortesques now beginning to take shape. One of our favourite parts of today’s build is the bookcase that slots into the corner of Flourish & Blotts; it’s actually a little complex with the connective […]
Day 10: Bag 10 today! We are officially at the halfway point of the challenge! I’ve never produced a series of daily videos before, and whilst it is challenging and time consuming, it has been a rather enjoyable experience. Having a way to follow and record this challenge and be present in the whole process, […]
