[RSS]: Designer insight: Woon Tze Chee

Май 29, 2023

Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.

Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.

Woon Tze Chee wrote this about their work on 75955 Hogwarts Express:

1st August 2018 release, earlier in the US.

There had been multiple versions of this iconic train made in the past, so I felt extra pressured working on this one. I'm not really well versed in trains so I consulted many of our experts to understand the considerations that's needed when designing. My design lead Andy Seenan also provided great directions and suggestions on how we can offer the best playset that also works well as a display piece.

Personally it is very important for me to stay true to reference material, so I tried my best to shape the model and include details without compromising its structural integrity. I am extremely delighted with the result and particularly proud of the locking mechanism in the front, the clock on the bridge, as well as those printed curve tiles on the side of the train.

Crystal Fontan did an amazing job on the graphics, Just look at the Sirius Black wanted poster and "The boy who lived" Daily Prophet! Simply magical!
