I have a friend who won a gingerbread house contest. They flew her to New York City and put her up for a few days. She was on some TV show with a couple other winners. It was great, not only for the winning and fifteen minutes of fame, but the trip isnā€™t something sheā€™d normally be able to do.

Well, I can show you one from a few years agoā€¦ laser unassisted :slight_smile:

Iā€™m afraid this year will be a boring old house where everything fits without sanding and with cool trim and hopefully some engraved gingerbread (not holding my breath on that one).

Wowsers! :open_mouth:

Bonus points if you recognize it! Iā€™m an adequate knock-off artist, not really great at coming up with my own stuff :slight_smile:

26

Is it Neuschwanstein? (Iā€™m pretty lousy at recognizing castles.) :upside_down_face:

27

Not a real castle. Zoom in over the chapel on the left to see if you can figure it out :slight_smile:

28

Maybe one of the Disney castles? (Sorry, Iā€™m just not the best castle person.) :smile:

Ok thatā€™s not a good picture to guess. Hereā€™s a better one. Think, movie, not Disney :slight_smile:

How completely clever!

Heh heh, I wouldnā€™t have recognized it either. Itā€™s just what the kiddo was obsessed with at the time, and by the time I finished it, couldnā€™t have cared less :slight_smile:

Iā€™m a bit too old to have been Hogwarts obsessed, and didnā€™t have any kiddies to drag me in, but thatā€™s a really good rendition. (And it did look a little familiar at that. The owl should have tripped me to it.) :sunglasses::+1:

The bridge is a dead giveaway. Who can forget the final battle scene with Voldemort and the Death Eaters against Hogwarts?

Ha, I donā€™t even think I saw that one

It was background in a couple of the movies in flyovers and such but it was the site of the final battle scene and where Harry broke the most powerful wand in the universe rather than wield it himself and command absolute power. He tossed the pieces over the side into the chasm.
