Hogwarts Paper Model/ Music Box!

I made a very inexpensive musical addition to my Hogwarts paper model (sorry, still can’t release it until I am granted a copyright license!), which added a magical dimensions. I found the music box mechanism, which plays "Hedwig's Theme", on Ebay.

Rebuilding the "Mothership".

My rebuild of the 2004 "Mother ship" 3d model is almost complete. The geometry was surprisingly solid but its image mapping required a complete make-over. Interestingly, the 3D model was originally used to design the paper model but the paper model became the new source for the lost image maps.

Thanks for Your Continued Support!

Hey Dimensioneers! I just want to thank you for your continued support of Haunted Dimensions. I am sorry that I haven’t given you anything new in forever! My site and models were initially a hobby while I was a freelance designer. Over the course of the last 13+ years, HD unexpectedly served as my gateway into the theme park industry. First as a designer for Halloween Horror Nights, then as a Dimensional Designer and model maker for Universal Creative. Recently I was made a Designer of Concept/Illustration, where I have the amazing opportunity to help visualize new attractions, parks and shows for Universal worldwide! It has left me at a crossroads in regard with what to do with Haunted Dimensions in the future. I have to admit that the languishing of my Hogwarts model was very disappointing (I am NOT permitted to release it without a license), and while there are a million ideas for future spooky models, I don’t know that I have the time or passion to design more. The entire site is in serious need of an upgrade since I originally designed it with 13 year old HTML technology. I’ve even considered selling off the whole thing to someone who could pick it up and build into something bigger (or something that could actually make money). Anyway, sorry to ramble! Just know that Haunted Dimensions and its wonderful fans have been, and will continue to be, a great source of joy and inspiration to me! I will do what I can to occasionally keep it fresh. ~Ray~

Serious Eats - Haunted Dimensions Collaboration

Stella Parks (Bravetart) from the foodie site, Serious Eats, (and a fan of building my Phantom Manor cookie house), came to me to design an original gingerbread house template for her to bake and build for her Halloween and Xmas offerings. It looks great! Be sure to watch the video!

Macabre Masterpiece!

Cyndy and her neighbor, Remi, took the Phantom Manor Cookie House challenge and created this spectacular masterpiece! They started by enlarging my original templates by 30% and added amazing layers of detail. The licorice trees and gorgeous black ironwork piping are wonderful! The purple lights are actually bats, (but didn't photograph well). Thank for sharing, Cyndy and Remi !!! You can find my free templates at Gingerbread Dimensions
