Freddy Mallins Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) "Now Mr. Potter, we don't send people to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts..." 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Couple of things: 1. Yes, I know that the wave sucks. 2. That's a wave, btw. 3. I also realize that some of the SNOTed parts are a bit loose and have some major cracks. Those are not intentional. 4. I left the back open on purpose. 5. This is only partially based off of the shot of Azkaban Prison from the Order of the Phoenix movie (this pic); I had to take a lot of artistic license with this one.

Zarohum Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Wow. I've never seen any Harry potter MOCs on here. This is really good. The detail is amazing. Next time you're bored, try the semi-smashed version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuju Metru Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The triangular building is great-looking! I also like the rock it's perched on, though a less flat surface would really add to the level of detail, I think. Also, it'd be nice if you'd closed the top of the building with some kind of roof. As for the wave, it doesn't suck, I don't think - it's just a little blocky and uniform and big. Maybe make the spray a little less prominent (shorter, less angular, or play around with smaller parts so that the overall thing doesn't look as oversized. As a Harry Potter fan, this is a cool creation to see. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this is the first wave I've ever built, so as long as you think it doesn't suck too badly, I guess I've done OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumiki Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) As a non-Potterite (some would refer to me as a Muggle, I suppose) I can't fully appreciate how accurate this really is, but the comparison picture you provided seems to match your MOC.If I were you, I'd scrap the waves completely and try something more smooth. The waves look like waves on a Salvador Dali-Jackson Pollock collaboration. Edited October 21, 2011 by Sumiki Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 After looking at an actual picture of Azkaban, I can say this is highly accurate. Awesome job!And I agree with the waves; they could be better. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked. PM for GT.

Malevolence Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 this is a rather beautiful miniature. The waves aren't the best, but I'll admit I thought they were snow caps at first which made them more impressive to me. Now then, you want to REALLY impress me? Make a minifig scale Azkaban!
