Still working Okay, While I'm getting to grips with Blender... I'm also blueprinting the whole castle for good measure. This is a pretty slow process of working up vector graphics using low res photos of available studio plans from the web. I'm also stepping off of that to work up rough...

Thanks Rogério, I'm still learning the ropes with Blender but I'm getting the impression that once I get the hang of it, I can do almost anything with it. I'm also a video film maker and it looks like this is one of the best programs for adding CG effects, so it's very worth the effort...it's...

Fantastic work! Can't wait to see it finished!

I have both sketchup and Blender. I have the unfolding plugin for sketchup but haven't figured out exactly how to use it and Blender is WONDERFUL!... but really complicated. I guess I'm going to have to knuckle down and learn how to use both. Thanks for the suggestions. Best, Ian

Okay... Trying to design buildings without benefit of paper-crafting software is finally too difficult for me. Any recommendations for affordable, easy to use paper model design software? I've been reading and hearing a lot about Pepakura designer. supposedly it's very good and easy to learn...

Wow! Your renders are REALLY good! I can't wait to build this! This would be a great kit to add some lights to... Target and Walmart have this nifty battery op LED strings that are perfect for stuff like this and with a little reinforcement, you can actually put the battery box in the model...

Absolutely INCREDIBLE work! I've got a friend who collects Apollo era memorabilia and I haven't been able to find anything I can afford as a Christmas present that he doesn't already have... Think I'm gonna make a passel of these with your joint addition and call it good! Thanks for posting...

This is a bit frustrating trying to adapt to the scale of this model. Klaus does not include the building in the greenhouse area that contains the bell towers, long gallery, astronomy tower and turrets but recommends that you buy a model of a church (Abbey Khajuraho), which has a similar...

Okay... I've been working on the actual redesign and according to the very detailed photos I have, the greenhouse were painted white and weathered considerably. The downside is, unless you have an Alps printer; doing the whole thing on transparencies isn't really going to work. I'm going to...

Thank you to Inky, You're most welcome to Revel Fan and Wow! The Japanese kit looks REALLY good! Wish it was still available commercially. The model by Klaus is really very well done but less than accurate in some places. I worked up a blueprint based on a photo of what appears to be a...

Lo all, Just wanted to say that I've been working on the designs but have been side tracked by the holidays (Thankgiving here in the US of A), so expect some photos during the first week of December. Thanks for your patients. Best, Ian

Yes! That was it! Thanks for the name and the link! Very recently the filming miniature of Hogwarts castle was made available to the public and I've been able to get some incredible reference photos of the greenhouses and other structures. I'm planning on doing the octagonal domed structure...

Great model. I downloaded it off your site a while back and it's on the bench. Anything from Firefly is greatly appreciated! When is someone going to do a decent paper model of Mal's pistol? I believe it's called "The Liberty Hammer?" Just sayin angel Best, Ian :thumb:

"I have got to get me one of those!" ~commissioner James Gordon; "Batman Begins" Thanks for sharing! Best, Ian :thumb:

Wooooow!!! You do fantastic work! Truly exceptional. This is really inspiring me to get better at this hobby. Thanks for sharing! Best, Ian :thumb:

Hey all, I'm new here but I'm so impressed with the work being done that I thought I would share some of my own. Years ago a fellow from Germany (hate to say I've forgotten his name) offered a paper model of Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter movies (and probably still does). It was a...

Excellent! REALLY great work and something I was hoping someone would tackle! Can't wait to build it. Thanks for a great kit! Best, Ian :thumb:

Incredible! THIS is a monumental undertaking and it's really looking great! I know a lot about the filming miniature and I can tell you, you're really doing a good job! I've only been on this forum for an hour and I'm so impressed! Thanks for posting! Best, Ian :thumb:

Amazing work! Wow, I can't get over the work on this forum! I'm impressed that you are willing to take the time to do this in the best possible way. That will guarantee that it's a kit worth building. Bravo and keep of the EXCELLENT work! Can't wait to see this finished! Best, Ian...

Incredible kit! Hey! Thanks for making this kit available to everyone! This is actually my first download as a member of this forum (Haven't been on long enough to have access to the zealot download area) so I'm especially happy for joining today! I really loved "Moon" and the directors...
