That's too bad... Thanks for the info, though, Reel! :thumbs:
I saw a bunch of pics on the portfolio from the different Potter films, but I did not see that. Where specifically was it? :shrug:
Hmm, you're right. And I just noticed that podcast is from March. Maybe they have Court on again but they haven't posted it yet? :shrug:
EDIT:
Look in the "Behind the Scenes" and "Other Work" galleries. You can even see the entrance and exit of FJ in the sculpt. Very cool. (And you can see Stuart Craig checking out his work!)

Oops... I should have remembered... I kinda "backed" into his site's directories... to get hold of a pic to send to "someone" to get a tech question answered. I think I happened upon directories that are no longer published on his site. Hmmm... let me go look around again.
Edit: GGG found it for you!

Thanks! And thanks Teebs, too! :thumbs: Mr. Court is amazingly talented! And btw, I wonder where those models are... How amazing would it be if they had a museum type of attraction where they could display these and other Creative stuff? I'd love that...

Cool video but I'll be really disappointed if they keep the Potter music in London... [HASHTAG]#overdoingit[/HASHTAG]
I've got your London BGM right here...

I would imagine it was digitally scanned and then thrown out... it was just foam and a thin coating of modeling clay. I cannot imagine that it was ever cast as a different material.

He could be standing on a chair or desk. They have to put him higher so he clears the "rod iron" balcony.
Exactly my thoughts.
I'm looking forward to seeing this at night. I wonder if lighting inside the window will reveal any other details...
After seeing the second video posted of Kreacher, I see that you're right. The rod isn't visible without the extreme zoom.
I know I said this yesterday, but that is just too cool. Love it.
Had my first Diagon Alley dream last night. I rode Gringotts, and there were no sets, no screens and no theming, just the bare show building with some partition walls. The only form of anything in there was the evacuation catwalks were themed in stone, and Hermione's voice kept playing. Weird huh

Please don't think I'm being hostile here, because I'm not, but...Universal builds a replica of a London waterfront, and has an animitronic elf peering at us through a window as an Easter Egg and you're concerned that they might be a bit off on his height? You don't think that might be just a touch nit picky?
Ok... so those pesky tiles on Leicester continue to be unfinished, station and theater awnings unclad, Grimmauld wrought iron railings unpainted. South station has similar wild delays, unpainted ticket building and runes. Anything else we can knitpick on?
I am happy to see that they appear to have ripped out and replaced the dying trees on the berm.

The South Station Ticket Building is painted today per Amusement Buzz. Plastic has been removed from the signs. They're still painting Wyndhams apparently. I imagine the awning will be the last thing to go up.
They don't seem to be in any hurry though.
