So, for those that require a historic record of what the park looked like at a specific time, this model will not meet those requirements. I am all for accuracy, but in this case, I loved what they did. I think it shows creativity and allows everyone's favorite vintage attractions to live together harmoniously.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-32146211771264771732013-03-15T09:47:05.955-07:002013-03-15T09:47:05.955-07:00I don't get it.

As an artist and model maker myself I really found the shots of the Disneyland model to be fascinating. Well done to all who worked on it. The love and dedication shows. So glad they are allowing photos now.<br /><br />@ Major, as someone who is building a bit of Frontierland in model railroad form, I can relate!Dave Meekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955737281413114162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-31471846282783478852013-03-14T14:47:59.723-07:002013-03-14T14:47:59.723-07:00I found the final rooms of the museum very moving;...I found the final rooms of the museum very moving; I burst out in tears at the television announcing Walt Disney's passing, as I remember that time very well.

I need to go to the museum so bad! <br /><br />In the part about Nature's Wonderland, I think it's Thunder Mountain that replaced it, not Splash Mountain. <br /><br />Great post Dave! Thank You!

Using your photo collection, a 3D model could be constructed true to scale and color, then the model could be printed in sections with a 3D printer and assembled to make up the whole park. I know this technology exists, but don't know enough about how to implement it.<br /><br />It would be fun to try.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-47200505745731395112013-03-14T11:12:12.054-07:002013-03-14T11:12:12.054-07:00Dave, I am so pleased you got to visit this museum...Dave, I am so pleased you got to visit this museum. Our visit was a high point for me. I knew you would love it.<br /><br />The giant model was such a surprise to find in the basement. I think of it as "Disneyland in Heaven" due to the mix and match of times. Really beautiful and uplifting.<br /><br />One last comment. Did you notice the style of the museum architecture? Very old-fashioned and historic on the upper levels where the original Presidio building framework is visible and also in keeping with the era of Disney's life depicted, then as you go down, the passages lead into the new structure added specifically for the museum, and the style becomes progressively more modern, both in details and materials, until the exit corridor, all done in ceramic glass and animated video screens, right out of the House of the Future. An architectural tour-de-force, just like Disneyland, and so subtle it is barely noticeable.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-52025974202960950172013-03-14T09:33:40.513-07:002013-03-14T09:33:40.513-07:00The detail on the model is amazing.
