Disney world model

[marni1971]

Very good - LOL!

And not a squeezy bottle in sight... some painted blut tak (M:S globes),cocktail sticks (monorail supports) and half a ton of cardboard. Oh - and cigarette wraping paper (Wonders of Life), black plastic (Imagination pyramids), clear plastic (The land greenhouses), electrical wire (monorail track), four layers of gloss spray glue for the lakes and a tennis ball (guess where). About the only real modeling item I used (paint aside) were for the trees and bushes.

There HAS to be a bog roll in there someplace!

 

[marni1971]

Come to think of it... I think i used tissue paper as a base for Canadas mountain range...

 

[barnum42]

Sorry - I meant the cardboard tube, not stationery itself :brick:

 

[marni1971]

You know, I don`t think there is!

Although I do like looking at the models, I would never have the time nor patience to create a model of that magnitude.

It was a labour of love...

Are you going to add Soarin' onto it anytime soon?

I was once working on a recreation of Epcot in RCT2 but I gave up after realising that the 2500 square foot map was not big enough and that I rebuilt Innoventions about 100 times over.

Yep, I am. Just waiting to see how and where they join the Soarin` show building to The Land.

HOLY CRAPOLA BATMAN!! That is absolutely awesome!! Great job. Have you ever submitted a photo of it to the Disney magazine?

 

[marni1971]

Thank you very much for the compliment. I have never submitted a photo of it anywhere before here...

I used to subscribe to the Disney Magazine, but they screwed up my subscription (to the UK) three separate times so I gave up.

'Can he say "Screwed"?'

(Nobody in Amreica will know what the hell I am babbling on about, but hopefully it will give a chuckle of nostalgia to Marni and some of the other Britons)

Substitutes the S word for messed....

I thought that as I typed... then thought nah.... leave it as is!!

OR:

`The Disney Magazine` subscriptions department made one too many errors whilst processing my overseas delivery of their publication. In view of this, I declined to participate in any fututre perusal of said publication, or any consideration of a future subscription, renewall or otherwise.

Pleez and Thanx

Off the topic, slightly. I remember visiting WDW in 1975 when MK was the only park. There was a large model built by Disney, maybe 8 by 10 feet of the property. Don't recall if it had EPCOT Center at that time though. Wonder what happened to it? I think it was with Walt Disney Story on Main Street.
