You are a genius!
Oh wow thank you 😁👍
Absolutely amazing! Love how you brought this to life.
Thank you so much Denise 🙂👍
Love this
Thanks so much Sally 😊👍
Oh my gosh..you are Amazing ! Well done enjoyed watching your video. Fantastic job 👍👍
AHH that's so nice of you, thank you 😊👍
Perfect ❤
Thanks so much 😊👍
what size texture roller are you using .... BTW, I'm super excited at the thought of having the ENTIRE town of Hogsmeade (or even just an alley) just for display purposes ... please keep up the good work (and inspiration)
Hi , I size the rollers to fit the scale and print them myself. Most of my builds are about Lego figure size so 1:35 scale ish. Hope this helps 👍😊 I hope you get to build them into your own alley...I am so glad I did 😄
@@zestvisions thanks for the quick response ... I've done a few "fairy" cottages in the past and have done all the stone work by hand (hours and hours of pain-staking drawing them by hand on clay, then having to retrace each stone to deepen the grout lines ... lather, rinse, repeat) ... NEVER even thought about looking for a texture roller before, IT seems like a no-brainer now that I've seen it done ... thanks for the info
Hahaha yes been there also 😂 I love the texture rollers... especially on old rustic houses 😊@@midwestboy9584
It’s just so good!
Hi Lee, thanks so much 👍 I liked your shed video...it is wonderful, I could not comment as I watched it on the telly, and meant to go comment and forgot!😞 Will go do that now 😊👍
@ aw thanks, but basically it was just instructions for the kit 🥰
this is soooo cool
Hi RedCaio thanks so much👍😊
Where do you get the templates for your buildings? Are you designing them yourself? :D
Hi Sarah, yes I walk round them in the game and take screenshots, then draw them up in Illustrator 😊👍
@@zestvisions Do you know if you'd ever sell or make the patterns available? I would love to make these, but I lack the skills in Illustrator
Hi Sarah, I have been thinking about getting the patterns ready to make available for download. These were very much a work in progress as I built them and quite complicated with quite a lot of scratch built sections after, so not very straightforward to follow. I am not sure they would be much help to everyone. Also I might get into trouble with copyright. I will definitely look into it in the new year. Thank you so much for asking, kind regards Shirley 😊👍
So cool
Thank you 😊👍
love it
Thanks so much 😊👍
I like the fact it's all hand crafted. Not everyone can afford lazer cutters and plastic print machines. What did you use to make the purple flowers?
Hi there, many thanks, although I have to admit I drew it up in software and the windows and doors were laser cut...I like to add the hand touches to give the models a natural feel ☺️👍
@@zestvisionsthis next question can late. What did you use to make the purple flowers?
I use a flock,...I think I originally bought them from Amazon, I have had them for years...as they last forever! 😊 I used 2 purple colours ... Dip the tip of grass or wire in PVA then dip in the flock 👍 all the best, Shirley 😊
Amazing artwork! It looks very cozy ❤
Thank you so very much 😊 👍
Woah, awesome channel and artwork, you’re so talented! New subscriber here, and I LOVE IT❤
Oh wow, that's great ☺️ many thanks and welcome 😄👍
Wonderful 😊
Hi Big Keg, thanks so very much 😊👍
dislike music..video ok..
Thanks 😊👍
music sucks...loved video, though !
Glad you liked the video ☺️👍
I love the idea and the finished project. When using recycled candy wrappers (or any material that once had food in it) be sure to clean it throughly before using.
Great tip! 😄👍
Absolutely amazing work! Perfect choice for the soundtrack!
Thank you very much, I love Enya ❤️😄
Amazing and very beautiful!
Thank you very much 😊 👍
perfección total, mis felicitaciones,gracias por compartir,un abrazo desde Colombia ❤
Hi Miriam, thank you so much for your kind words, hugs back from England ☺️👍
Your work is amazing ❤ Thank you, you give me inspiration, I'll try to build it myself someday
Hi and thanks, I hope you do give it a go, all the best ☺️👍
I love that film it’s a Christmas tradition I watch it(along with countless others) I want to build this as inspiration for a 1:1 scale house and I think it’s gonna be not so easy. It’s a lovely diorama.
Oh yes it would be a lovely cottage to live in a shame it was just for the film then knocked down 😔 thanks for your comments 😀👍
Really pretty 😊
Thank you! 😊
You are so talented ❤
Oh that's so kind ❤️ thanks ☺️👍
Nice to hear your voice for the first time 🙂. I love that you thought of a method on how to change the trees to match the seasons. And I think it's a good idea to dip the plastic branches in foliage, because I think they look a bit, well, plasticy without that.
Hi Niki...yes it's a bit nerve wracking for me to try a voice-over 🥺 but about time I thought, thanks for saying. Yes I agree they do look too plasticy without the flicking, someone mentioned that it a previous video, so I have tried to come up with solutions. I was quite happy with most of them 😊👍
Not cold. Warm and comfortable. 🥰
Thank you 😊👍
Love that project so much ❤I have watched the video several times ❤ I hope you are planning something with the Xmas trash this year ❤❤❤
Hi Quilting Crow, thank you so much for the views ☺️ you know I hadn't planned on doing another one, but you have inspired me 👍 what do you suggest? I would love to know your ideas 😉💡
@zestvisions What about the inside of Hagrid's Hut? Or the students' room in Hogwarts, maybe Gryffindor or Ravencaw? Or the inside of Tom Bombadils house. I think no one ever did that before :)
Ooooh what wonderful ideas. I have done the Gryffindor common room before but before I recorded my progress so it's not on my TH-cam channel sadly. I love the idea of Hagrid's Hut or Tom's house, I will have a good think on it. I am building the Great Hall from Hogwarts at the moment and want to make it Christmassy, so I am hoping to have the finished for Christmas 🎄 but this is not from trash. Now with your ideas I can keep items from the bin that I can use 👍😊 thanks so much.
@@zestvisions I'm really looking forward to seeing the build, sounds like a lot of fun! And I'll be over the moon if you want to make one of my suggestions 😊
@@QuiltingCrow Wonderful...I have been thinking on them and will see what Christmas trash I collect :)
Very impressive. The video of your character in the scene to compare to the craft version was an excellent idea and great touch.
Hi CrankyPants, happy Sunday 👍☺️ thanks for saying so 🤗
wow so cool
Thanks so much 👍😊
You brought the city to life!!! ❤😊❤
Hi Cerise, thanks so much 😊☺️
Wow, this Hogsmeade model looks so vivid. The details of Zonko’s shop are incredibly intricate. It really brings back the feeling of walking through the actual wizarding village. Is anyone else impressed by this level of detail?
Agree, it’s stunning
Thank you 🙏
What wonderful comments, thank you so much...I am tearing up 🤗
Beautiful, as always. Would you consider selling the templates?
Hi Braulio, thank you for saying so. Not sure I would be able to sell these templates due to copyright. I can look into it 👍
This is just so wonderful! Amazing work. 🥰
Thank you so much 🙏👍
I'm glad to have found you, you do great work. Time to bingewatch!
Oh wonderful news I hope you enjoy 👍😀

@@zestvisions amazing !
@@popasltu3011 Thanks again 😄
Wow! Never saw you 3d modeling and printing before! You have some crazy modeling skills!
Hi, haha...I have had my 3D printer for years and thought it was about time to give modelling a go! I was so happy with how these turned out. Thanks so much for your lovely comments ☺️🙏
Wow so much detailed! Very well done!
This whole project took months but I'm very happy with how they turned out. I have more videos of the other shops and houses coming out soon, so hopefully right up your street diy_wizard 😄👍 so glad you liked it🤗
Hey! Sorry for ask, but where do you find the measurements of the buildings? What scale do you work on? I love it.
Hi Braulio, Thanks so much! to be honest I wing it...really :) I walk round the buildings in the game taking screenshots, then draw them up in Adobe Illustrator. I usually build to Lego Figure scale...so 1:35 scale approx., unless the building would turn out too large then I will scale it smaller.
@zestvisions Thank you so much!
Really cute, I love it!
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely incredible work!!!! Beautifully crafted 😊😊😊
Hi Cerise, thanks so much 😊☺️
