if disney doesn't accept it, it would definitely fit well into the lego store in dtd!

Tigertail777 · 04-06-2005, 08:13 AM

holy crud! Thats some fantastic stuff!

What kind of references did you use? A bunch of photos from different angles, or something more like blueprints of the attractions and areas?

You really need to contact SOMEONE at Disney, that would be so fantastic to have in the lego store (and hey I bet you could get a lot of free legos out of the deal!

).

Way cool! Can't imagine all of the hours it took you!

Tiny Mermaid · 04-06-2005, 10:29 AM

I have to say, when I read "Legos" I was a bit skeptical, but WOW.This blows my mind.
The detail is amazing -- I love the little ODV cart parked outside HM.

BTW, I have nothing against Legos -- I love Legos. I just didn't realize one could be so creative with them.

Resources for construction came from books, video, visiting the park, various websites, as well as blueprints from select attractions (yeah E-bay!).

Below is a link to some photos of my new LEGO Disneyland projects.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=124607

Enjoy a rough mock-up of the Main Street Train Station; a re-build of one of the Disneyland Railroad Steam Trains (the Earnest S. March); a pre-Indiana Jones era Juncle Cruise boat (complete with gun!); a colour model for what will be Sleeping Beauty Castle; and a primilinary site plan (note Town Square and Central Plaza).

I want to know if you have any more pictures than this. The pictures you posted the link to just don't do this justice! For example, I can tell that part of the Haunted Mansion is exposed, but I can't see any of the detailing.

Didn't you take some better pictures before destroying everything?? I hope so!

Hi Mark! Yes, there are more photos available at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=118462 . This gallery includes projects that others in the group built. Being a LUGNET member, you may have seen these already.

As a fan of a particular steam railroad at Disneyland, I cannot tell you what a marvelous job you've done. Simply stunning. The train and the stations are works of art.

As a kid, I had a huge (to me) box of Legos growing up, including a motorized train. After coming home from park visits, I would make weak attempts to build items from the park--the Fort on Tom Sawyer's Island, or the Castle. They'd look so bad, I'd crumble them up and put 'em away. How I wanted to do what you've done, but was never able. Thanks for making real what I had always dreamed about as a kid!

Tiny Mermaid · 04-06-2005, 12:29 PM

DarylIF, you could have your own fan club! You've certainly made some fans here at MiceChat. I've been showing your pictures to people here at work, and they are simply stunned.

I love the Jungle Cruise boat. Thanks so much for sharing these amazing photos (and your amazing talent) with us!

Very nice job indeed, sure takes me back to my childhood. But when I remember what I used to build with my legos, it sure pales in comparison.

Zorro825 · 04-06-2005, 07:09 PM

That is ssoo awesome. Robert Olszewski has nothing on you.

That is awsome. Great job my friend!

If I had thousands of hours of free time like this, I bet I would accomplish much much less with that time than you. I'm a little jealous.
