A fragment of a cast of a roughly 400 million year old Orthocone Nautiloid which swam in an ancient sea, found high on a a ridge in the northern Yukon's Ogilvie Mtns. This is the only cast I found at this site ... Though the cephalopods are common, most are outlines or flattened impressions in the shale. This one is wider and more conical than the others, leading me to surmise that it is a different species with a more substantially armored shell which may have led it to fossilize differently than it's relatives in that impossibly distant faunal assemblage.
Pink cast for a week, after 3 weeks of open hole still draining... Dr is trying a cast to prevent movement so maybe the hole will close....
My husband broke his arm on Saturday. It was splinted in the emergency room, but we had to wait until we could see the orthopedist today to get it in a cast.
The doctor asked him what color he wanted the cast. Without thinking, I blurted out blue and orange. The man with the broken arm and the Mr. Met shirt agreed wholeheartedly.

Because of hand surgery, I'm having to spend six weeks in plaster. Sadly, this means no miniature making; however, since I'm left handed, it hasn't stopped me from working on the proper job (painting). Decided to prettify my horrible cast a bit... still itches, though.
Creature Shop
A number of video screens here progressively show what it was like to work in the creature shop, cleverly leading you from one screen to the next.
Makeup Effects
Creature Shop artisans transformed many cast members into magical beings like goblins, werewolves and even the Dark Lord himself, using applied makeup pieces called prosthetics.
Design
The Art Department provided the Creature Shop with initial sketches and drawings of each creature and character. From there artists transformed the images into three-dimensional models called maquettes.
Moulding
Once the designs were approved, makeup appliances were sculpted to fit the performers. Models of actors' mouthes, heads, arms or entire bodies were cast which artists used to create and test new prosthetic pieces.
Application
Multiple copies of each prosthetic were made from silicone or foam. Then, makeup artists carefully glued each piece to cast members' heads and bodies, a process that took just a few minutes for Voldemort's eyebrows and up to three hours for a Gringotts goblin.
Filming
Because of the hot lights in the studio and actor movement, makeup artsits were standing by on set to touch up smeared lightning bolt scars, broken goblin ears or crooked teeth.
Buckbeak
Though the only practical model of Buckbeak that ever appeared on screen was the seated version curled up in Hagrid's pumpkin patch, the Creature Shop also built two standing life-size animatronic models that could move their wings, nostrils, eyes, tongue and neck (and one of those could bow and move two of its legs). For Buckbeak's walking and flying sequences, the Visual Effects team created a digital version of the Hoppogriff.

It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to see and do:
- Step inside and discover the actual Great Hall.

The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.

Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
In this day and age, seeing a sign warning of a financial penalty with even the size of the fine embossed permanently in cast iron seems absurd. At the terminus of the Rudyard Lake Steam Railway, Staffordshire
