The Mamoth Potter project

[Pete SSS]

Love this project, such dedication!

I've finally got round to putting my Hogwarts crest onto my Steamer trunk coffee table,

My wife says we have to put a fruit bowl over the crest when people come round. Typical!

oliversnape- I' not sure what mine is called, but here's a pic:

Pete SSS- I had that idea; that if I ever fell out of love with Harry Potter (Rowling forbid it) i could turn my trunk into a coffee table

P.S. good luck with your beaters bat!

Your trunk looks fantastic! I just found one on ebay, so hopefully when it arrives it looks just as good. It has the two runner-strap things in the middle, but not at the edges. I may try to recreate them, or might just leave them. I'm excited to get it!

Here's the beater's bat I made. It definitely still looks like a baseball bat shape, and doesn't have the oval stripes, but I'm quite happy with it. I wanted to make a Ballycastle Bats (my team) one, so I've told myself that the professional ones are a bit different from the used school ones.

that's awesome oliversnape, good luck

Did you receive your dress robes? Where did you get them from?

Also, my trunk came in on Tuesday and it looks brilliant. Little bit of cleaning up, and then I'm on my way with my own project. Let's see some pics of yours filled up!

 

[PhoenixWand]

i'll try and get some nice picks in the morning it's a bit dark at the moment and the colour is coming out funny. I got my dress robes from a site called twinroses (Welcome to Twin Roses Designs! Costume Design and Construction by Andrea Wakely.). Good luck with your trunk!!

Wow I really love all the thinks you are making, I want to make some stuff too I dont really want to spend much, so I want to make everything

 

[oliversnape]

Here's my trunk. It doesn't have the two end bands, but that's okay. I rather like the used look. The paper roll on the bottom is what I'm replacing the liner paper with, because frankly, the inside was rather 'vintage' smelling. To put it nicely.

@oliversnape haha, mine was to, but then it smelled like glue, and now it's fine. That's a really cool trunk and i like just the plain lining.

@Seeker1- making all the little stuff is really cool. have you been over here http://www.therpf.com/f64/harry-potter-free-paper-props-all-movies-108986/

Hey Phoenix, hope you don't mind if we turn this to a general trunk thread? That way we're not cluttering up the props forum and we can all pool ideas. Hope that's all right.

Here's my potions kit that I finished up last night, for a cost of around $20. Not too bad. I'm still not sure on the inside of the lid - the ladles look a bit slapdash, but I really like how the boomslang skin (tiny container in the last pic) came out.

Very Cool Oliver!

 

[PhoenixWand]

sure, i welcome it, please post any and all trunk related pictures, links, info, and other what-not

I have a idea for you:
ART TIME How to make an ancient scroll - YouTube -- how to make a scroll
do you have the gryff scarf? From year 1 + 2 and 3 + up
Amazon.com: Hogwart's Knit Hat Scarf: Toys & Games and Amazon.com: Gryffindor Scarf: Toys & Games The only thing whats differant with noblecolletion and amazon is the gryffindor sign. Its very easy to take it off. Maby there is some more for you on amazon.
EDITT **: In the first film they have a hat:

Or you can make it yourself: http://www.instructables.com/id/Half-Hour-Harry-Hat/?ALLSTEPS
I dont think the Hogwarts logo was there in the films.

I have another idea for you
ThinkGeek :: Hermione's Gryffindor Long-Sleeve Shirt, Harry doesnt wear it, but I think he has it, because on this picture you can see many people in this shirt.
