Continuing what is now a tradition, I've tried to reverse engineer the lego Harry Potter Potions Classroom build on mecabricks, and I've come reasonably close. The neat thing here is you can see how it folds together. Key things to note,
1) I didn't bother too much with the hinges where I can't see what they're doing anyway; I'll just wait for the instructions to sort them
2) There must almost definitely be a rail piece under the chalkboard to facilitate sliding the module into the new Great Hall set, but again, too much guess work is involved as to what goes where at this point.
3) not all parts are available on mecabricks, and some substitutions have had to be made in the digital model. they've been documented over on the build's mecabricks page.
4) the validity to some of the criticisms of the modules: a) what do you do with the modules you remove, particularly as they aren't stackable? b) unlike the lavatory, corridor and Huffepuff common room, you can't see the inside of the Potions Classroom when it's folded together.( Read more... )
