Oh wow, thanks Pobbrett! There's some shots in there that will surely be useful for me. Congrats on the retirement as well, icanbuildthat.
I'm still shooting from the hip. I took this picture a couple weeks ago but haven't made too much progress on it. I've moved on to work on the building across the bridge, though. I've been scratching my head for about an hour trying to figure out how to do the multiangled roof. I keep thinking I have a suitable plan, but then find something wrong with it. I hope I can get the roof done before bed...and its already 2AM. :/
I have done this as a pair of mated corner modules in HO scale. I'm in the D.C. area and you can come see it at a show in February 2011 at the MD State Fairgrounds if you like. If you want to collaborate, I may be contacted through the modular railroad club, www.marrsweb.org.

Hello Bill,Hey MRaven
Well the plans come from two or three different sources - the first - the big one that's oddly shaped (well they both are) but the orangy colored one, is from the book HARRY POTTER FROM PAGE TO SCREEN. I bought that book some time ago after having seen it a couple places online. The other one - the GRAY version of the plans is THAT SAME PLAN only I reprinted it in half the scale I plan to build it, then printed off page after page to get it all pieced together for a sort of "footprint" of it's half-size so I would know of the shape overall - even though I'm using that and doubling it in size.
There are two GRAY plans from a book someone else posted someplace online. If you want any of these I have them in GRAPHIC FILES that I can send you if you'd like - to your E-Mail. Actually sometime soon I'm going to start a blog someplace that will detail this as I go. STILL working on some more drawings and plans to work out the details before I start building. So much to draw - lots of detail to work out first. Working on the GREAT HALL SIDE VIEW right now and that odd little out building at the end of the Greenhouses - trying to get the angles as close to right as possible since that's not in most of the drawings. The one I plan to build is going to almost be the same as the one that the big model at Leavesden has on display - have tons of photos of that model that I'm basing mine on - obviously in a much smaller scale.
Anyway if you want any of these plan graphics you're welcome to them.

Hi Simon,Hello Bill,
I certainly hope you're still active on this platform.
I found a small image of the blueprints from Hagrid's hut and would love to have the original/ bigger image.
My plan is to rebuild Hagrid's Hut. Are you able to send me these images if you still have them?
Many thanks in advance!!
Kind regards,
Simon
