    Amazing work,I have seen a tiny one done from a printer,was good but not like this one.Its on a whole new level.Its incredibly detailed and I was totally mesmerised watching you create this from the cardboard jigsaw.Which I have to add it does not look like this at all lol!.. I love this.I was late coming into the Harry Potter,but got all the books read before the Film came out.The film was the magic that put it all together..Of course I think we have all been touched by young Potter and Hogwarts ,for years now.But what a project to take on,it’s not for the faint hearted,only the brave.I think it’s the best diagrams I have seen to date,but I have still got to catch up with all your others 🥰

    This is amazing, but I'm not grasping what the point is to even starting with the 3D puzzle? How did that make it any easier than just building from scratch? I recently received this exact puzzle as a gift but don't think there's any way I could do this level of detail. I'm in awe and completely jealous of the finished project!

    Hi Nicole, yes you are right it wasn't easier with the 3D puzzle as a base 😂 my daughter had these puzzles as presents and wanted to have them made into more realistic models, this was the only reason, really lol! I must admit I am enjoying designing my own bases from scratch more so than I did the 3D puzzles. Thank you so much for leaving a comment 😍
