I’m getting back to 3d modeling using Lightwave 3D inspired by the MGA Miniverse Harry Potter sets. I got the potions set and fell in love with them. I’ve discovered an entirely new world of crafters that create amazing displays with their many sets…and I’m now joining them!
Honeydukes has recently been released and I’m working on the display shown above based on the very brief look you get of the sweet shop in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Still refining and fine tuning, but I’m loving the way this is coming out! My display includes the checkerboard floor with attached back wall, a round display shop window, shelving unit based on the movie complete with clear plastic “candy dispenser” tubes that can be filled with your choice of “candy”, and a display case with clear plastic top that lifts off to allow storage of the molds and other bits from the MGA kits.
I have been learning a LOT about modeling for printing and all 3 of my printers are busily test printing different parts of the set. I’ve refined the lid for the display case twice so hopefully it will fit this time!
I am working on add-on parts for the Potions Classroom set Miniverse released and may also do a stand along display set for it. While I am personally only planning to collect the Harry Potter sets, I may work on display items for other miniverse sets as I’ve really been enjoying doing these! I will announce availability on the blog once I have them all finalized.
