Day 20: Bag 20 today – our final bag, and I can’t believe I’m finally at the finish line! Today we focus on finishing off a few decorative accents inside the shop, including the tri-coloured railing posts, which together with the similarly decorated stairway we built yesterday, look fantastic and the exact sort of wacky […]
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 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 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, […]
Day 8: Bag 8 today! Today, work begins on floor one of both The Daily Prophet and Quality Quidditch Supplies. The Daily Prophet’s angled overhang, complete with sign looks fantastic, and next to the Quidditch shopfront this actually looks like something you’d find on a high street near you (sans the magic). I was pleased […]
Day 5: Bag 5 today, and with it the roof is completed, which includes chimneys, owls and an ornate hanging sign. Also worth noting that this building (the first of four) is now complete, as is instruction booklet 1 – we’re also a quarter way through this challenge! Looking at the finished build, it is […]
Day 4: Bag 4 today, and we have the fascias of floor 1 of Ollivander’s and Scribbulus now complete. A little more attention was given to Scribbulus in particular with the completion of an upstairs seating area and a cosy fireplace. Towards the front we have two shop signs, a poster and the bowed windows […]
Day 3: Bag 3 today and work continues on Ollivanders, with the completion of the ground and first floor bowed windows. We also get a minifigure of Hermione Granger! It was particularly satisfying putting the shop signs together for Ollivander’s – complete with the stickers (which you have to take some time over to get […]
