A bit of movie model magic

[jhock]

Just got in from a day at the Harry Potter Studio tour near London in the UK, I only live half an hour up the road and my girlfriend is a big fan, the whole thing is really interesting and great glimpse into how movies are made, the tour ends with the model that was made of The Hogwarts Castle, this a 1/24 scale model. I can't really explain the shear size of the thing, it is amazing, here are some rather poor shots taken on my phone.

It fills almost an entire sound stage.

If one person had built this they said it would have taken 75 years!
