Hogwarts Castle 3d Model Free Download _VERIFIED_

<div>I was slowly working on the Astronomy tower in the midst of all that when this spectacular YouTube video dropped on the official Wizarding World channel. The never-before-seen photos of the original castle inspired me to revisit some areas, the first of which I documented in this video of my own:</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>hogwarts castle 3d model free download</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/sIcKyCwGzN </div><div></div><div></div><div>It may seem like that would be a simple matter of dropping in the existing viaduct, but it actually took some effort. The switch from the Chamber of Reception to the courtyard causes the whole viaduct to swivel a little, and I had to compress it a bit to fit the new angle. I wonder if the original modelmakers had to rebuild the whole viaduct from scratch or if they were able to squeeze the original viaduct into that space somehow?</div><div></div><div></div><div>This model was originally inspired by 2011's Battle for Hogwarts set, to which I added a basement layer to bring it up to 2018 set height. I also redid the roof peaks from sand green to dark bluish gray, and added more inside details.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Heavily inspired by Eurobricks user  f2iso100 model of Hogwarts' bell towers (as seen halfway down on page six of this topic here.), I have devised my own model, with some revisions to make it's features more visible amongst all the tan. I made the stone shutters for the actual bell area wooden, and reduced the height of the towers by a good three bricks, as it currently looms over the official sets by a good floor-and-a-half. (10 bricks)</div><div></div><div></div><div>More could be added in the future, depending on what Lego releases for the required castle expansion. Until then, this is it, and I hope you enjoyed it. Comments, Questions and Complaints are always welcome!</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Heavily inspired by Eurobricks user  f2iso100 model of Hogwarts' bell towers (as seen halfway down on page six of this topic here.), I have devised my own model, with some revisions to make it more visible amongst all the tan.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I made the stone shutters for the actual bell area wooden, and reduced the height of the towers by a good three bricks, as it currently looms over the official sets by a good floor-and-a-half. It's currently at 10 bricks or so above the second tallest model, which is the Clock Tower set from 2019. However, if this years Astronomy Tower were in LDD, it would probably equal in height the Bell Towers, give or take a couple bricks. Unfortunately, I don't have that set in digital format, but I will have it come my birthday in early November. The Bell Towers though will probably be gotten in early 2021.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Astronomy Tower LEGO set from this year is missing from this picture, as I haven't recreated it yet. (or received it yet either!) This picture is just to show the height difference between all the pieces of castle, MOC or set.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I don't have the LDD file posted anywhere right now, but you can find the official, non-MOC sections of it (2018 Hogwarts Castle 75954, the Whomping Willow 75953, and the Clock Tower75948) in the official sets in LDD topic. As for my Hogwarts stone Bridge section and Bell Tower MOCs, I'd like to at least get the bell tower MOC built in real bricks before releasing the LDD file. Plus, the digital-so-far Bell Tower model has changed in multiple ways since last uploading the pictures, and there are quite a few prints missing. So it's not quite the same anymore to as what you're seeing.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Hogwarts Lecagy screenshots appear to be quite consistent in terms of style, which is something the films sometimes failed to do since they used different sets. Generally, Hogwarts appears Romanesque in the games and different Gothic styles in the films; not many details are given in the books beside the fact that is an old castle, but since the school was founded in the 10th century, it is safe to assume that it would have been built in Romanesque style.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In another thread, the question was asked if anyone modeled or ran European trains. I mentioned the Hogwarts Express. This got me to thinking, how cool would it be to add a Hogwarts Castle to a layout. I found some Lego sets, but I figured they would probably be somewhat small for O gauge. Then, I found this on the internet:</div><div></div><div></div><div>That's an extraordinary model. Maybe for a home layout it would be possible to have just a corner of a Hogwarts'ish building jutting into the corner of the layout. Pegasus hobbies Gothic Building wall kits would be a good starting point.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You could do a compressed model in 1:48 and it would still be impressive as the dickens. The cathedral on my layout is closer to 1:64 scale than 1:48, and compressed at that, yet is is a BIG building, and impressive, because in the real world, it was an even bigger building.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I know that this is a very old post at this point, but I did want to add a comment to it, as I am currently starting the preliminary stages of a smaller scale project centering around the Hogwarts Express -including Hogwarts School, Hogsmeade Station, the castle grounds, as well as King's Cross Station and Diagon Alley- that we can use seasonally which will be modular and store-able.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I considered a Harry Potter layout at one point when I was in the design phase. I came to the same conclusion, a painting or mural of Hogwart's Castle in the distance would be visible from the train station at Hogsmeade. Much easier than trying to model the castle in terms of scale.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Thanks for the lively responses guys! My preliminary plans will have two separate 'trays' that will go on either side of our Christmas tree on the floor. They'll be connected to each other by a series of looped tracks that will encircle the tree. One half will be London, with King's Cross Station (a mix of backdrop and scratch built 3D model; essentially half a 'tunnel') and Diagon Alley (3D models). The other half will be Hogsmeade Village & Station (3D models), Hogwarts Grounds (medium background 3D models) with Whomping Willow, Black Lake, Hagrid's Cottage, and the Quidditch Pitch and then Hogwarts Castle, again a mix of 3D model and backdrop, sitting on a cliff on top of a tunnel.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This is what I have to date. The 3D Puzzle 2 building sets came out recently and can be found in stores that sell puzzles. While I would like something with more detail I put the 2 puzzles together in a week and used glue and sticks and cardboard behind each wall to add strength and glued to a wood base with the green grass covering. The other buildings I found at Walmart near the start of the Hogwarts's craze. The figures have been an issue I have looked a long time for something suitable but nothing on the market, these over sized head figures were on the tops of pens that I chopped off. Perhaps we could get Lionel to make a figure set to go with the train sets like the Polar Express figures they make? I also took photos of the Hogwart's castle in Florida with the idea that I could use this as a backdrop to the train set as a large poster size image, but the puzzle sets will do for now. Click on the photos for a larger view. The platform with cart was from Hallmark a couple of years back, bit oversized.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I was just looking at the 3d puzzle of hogwarts castle (with hall) and I'm totally glad to find pics of it here. So it does look like it could be o scale? It looks like several people on amazon had the same idea.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Any updated pics or video? My wife just found the hogwarts express lionchief on 50% clearance at barnes and noble (for 200 bucks) and got it for me as an advanced bd present. Now, its time for me to build around it...</div><div></div><div></div><div>As for the models, I believe Lionel lost their license to the Hogwarts Express as most merchandising is now being handled by Universal Studios under the Wizarding World of Harry Potter license. I'm not sure if Lionel is working to regain the license or not .</div><div></div><div></div><div>Knight miniatures is coming out with a Harry Potter miniatures game. If it's similar to their other games (They make the Batman and other DC miniatures games) the figures should be very close to 1/48. Knight models are typically what is known as 35mm (sole to eyeline measurement of an average human). That is right around 1/43 scale, Should be out soon.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Their page for the game is here. Not much there yet but a bunch of pictures of the figs painted up are here. They look dang good which is no surprise from Knight models. The figs will be nicely cast in metal and top notch quality but they'll also likely be 7-12 bucks each.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As for the Diagon Alley puzzle this is much closer to O scale the the castle and I was thinking of getting it as a background building for the layout in general. The Hogwart's Great Hall and Astronomy Tower I have pictured above built up you can see the scale with the train passenger car in front of them. The board I have them on is 3 feet by 18 inches just the right size to hold them.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Their page for the game is here.

The castle was modelled during 60-70 hours in Blender and then printed in about 30 hours with a UP!2 3D-Printer as well as a Formlabs Form 1+.</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
