Nice backside ;)

[SpiffyScribbles]

Ok seriously though. I'm considering making a model of The exterior of Phantom Manor. I've easily found referance photos of the front and sides and most of the surrounding area. I cannot find a picture of the backside. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it is mostly hidden by trees, not very guest accesible and probably relatively plain. If anyone has somehow gotten their hands on a picture or video of it and is willing to share it here it would be much apreciated.
Also this would be my first time building a model, so any information you feel you could share about that would be welcome as well.

There are trees blocking it, but it is also right up against the show building, a covered railroad crossing, and then backstage offices. A lot of CMs walk right by there going to/from costuming, but you can't see the manor.

Unfortunately a photo probably doesn't exist...

I figured. I think I'll probably just end up improvising the back based on the rest of the building.

Here are the blueprints. Façade 3 is the back. It is largely unthemed and obscured by the large show building behind it.

Oh wow, thanks! Not only is this extremely helpful it's also incredibly cool! May I ask where you found it?

Oh, I just love that sort of stuff and my internets is really good.

Keep us informed of the backside work being done on your model!

Will do I haven't started building yet. I'm still doing sketches to familiarize myself with the building, and since this is my first time I may try a simpler model of some sort first, but I'll definitely be sure to post all progress on this thread.

Please post a photo when it's finished! It's my favourite ride.

@SpiffyScribbles try Apple Maps. DLP was rendered in pretty good 3D.

You can't get much closer, but should be able to figure out rough dimensions, the connector corridor, the show building and the Diorama tunnel if you pan and zoom around.

Wow, it that the Phantom Manor show building behind it? If so that is huge!

It is, and it is.

Though probably around the same as Disneyland's since both version share the same layout.

I remembered to take some pix backstage:
