<\/a><\/p>\nAs captured by photographer @bioreconstruct<\/a>, there is now only scaffolding around the towers to the right and in the center. But the scaffolding on the right is starting to come down.<\/p>\n Scaffolding previously came down from the hall on the left<\/a>, which appears completed, as do some of the other towers. Painting continues along the front of the castle, where there is no space for scaffolding to be installed.<\/p>\n The towers on the front right are currently two-tone. The top halves are darker, closer to a finished look, while the bottom halves are still mostly gray.<\/p>\n There are spots of moss elements on the faux stone surface. Crews will apply paint over the moss and then remove them, creating texture and age spots. <\/p>\n These completed areas show the \u201cnatural\u201d weathering created from different paint shades and texturing. There are some spots of green resembling algae.<\/p>\n Painting will hopefully wrap up within a few weeks and guests will once again be able to get picturesque castle photos in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.<\/p>\n Do you like this refresh?
