Hogwarts
Bruce 30 I 11
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been the inspiration for many MOCs, but Aussie AFOL David Scalone, aka Mr Offset,
has outdone them all with his recent masterpiece.
He actually built this in three stages, debuting the first at Brickexpo in Canberra, adding a second stage for AMRA in Sydney,
and finally unveiling the third stage at the recent Brickvention Melbourne.
He says there's more to come, so it will be exciting to see this grow even more.
This has taken over 300 hours of build time so far, with the biggest challenge of making it modular, so this 25 baseplate behemoth could be transported to shows.
He was proud to take second place at Brickvention (only following our previous featured MOC),
but was also really pleased by the smiling faces and comments from kids and adults attending the public exhibition.

What's more, Kevin has promised new creations and new chapters.
For a hint of what he's been doing recently, check out Drachenberg Castle,
which recently won best in show at Brickvention, an Aussie AFOL convention.
Welcome back, Kevin!
