Thestrals
"What's that - pulling the carriage?" "Nothing's pulling the carriage Harry, they're pulling themselves, like always."
I have built Harry's fifth-year return to Hogwarts, in which he notices the thestrals pulling the carriages for the first time. However, none of his friends can see them, and I have shown this by building half of the thestral in its actual colour of black, and half in colours that blend in with the background (dark blue for the night sky and brown and sand green for the forest floor).
There are lots of details in this build to bring it to life, including Neville's mimbulus mimbletonia, ribs on the thestrals' side, Harry's scar and a textured forest floor. It is larger than minifigure scale, so lots of complex techniques have been used to make the people and the thestral appear organic and lifelike. There are also some cool piece uses, such as a hinge plate for Neville's nose and leaves for the thestrals' ears.
It is approximately 1000 pieces - hope you enjoy :)
