PRR Bruce posted: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.Bruce
I'm going to do somewhat like they did at Universal Studios, taking the scale down to 1:72 or perhaps higher. It will look big from where the viewer will be or POV for Hogsmeade, but obviously be only a sliver of the Castle. I do want some dimensionality to it though and I plan to have the village facing side lit and the Dining Hall large enough to be both lit and house a hidden Blu-tooth speaker to play music from.
