constanceI'm finally finished with my Snape diorama. It was more fun than I've had for ages, from start to finish, and excepting only the stool, which let's not talk about the stool, okay? It's a teeny bit messy, but overall, I think it turned out okay.
First of all, the outside. If I had to do it over again, I'd change things up a little -- only one dormer -- because the way I've set it up here doesn't really coincide with the plan of Spinner's End I have in my head. But screw that, man. I kind of like the two dormers.
The wallpapery wall is actually a wall inside the house, a hallway leading into Snape's room. I didn't bother to do the rest of the house for this one. Maybe one day.
It's the scene Harry saw in Snape' pensieve, the one where Snape's zapping flies with his wand, which Snape is actually holding in this photo, but because of the angle, and because everything's so low-contrast, you can't really see it here.
In this photo, you can see the wand better.
From the hallway, looking in. Does Snape look pissed off and a little anxious at the same time? Because I totally think of him looking that way as a teenager.
He's posable, to a degree -- he can't, for example, bend enough to sit. Don't feel sorry for him, though. He'd kill himself if he tried to sit on his stool.
Note the cauldrons. The potions ingredients are stowed in boxes under his bed. :D
From this angle, you can see the stool that ate an entire night of my life. And also the enormity of Snape's nose.
And that's that! Except that if you're curious to see how it fits together, there are a few more pictures and explanations in this gallery. And I had so much fun that I feel a little sorry it's over.
