If you can't get to Disneyland, bring Disneyland to you!

Great work as always Becky.

If you know someone with a copy of Photoshop it doesn't matter if its a dead on square photo. The newer versions have a perspective crop that will straighten out a photo by clicking at four corners and then hitting enter. I love it for making textures for my action figure displays. I've got a lot of signs to use in just a few minutes.

You don't know of a paper model of the bullet-nosed Disney monorail that I can download do you? I saw this one at Disney Experience but I don't think it was ever finished.

Well....





I came up with one about 10 years ago. However. And here's the heartbreaking part. I lost the files! BUT! If you really want to try, and you have the time and energy to make sense out of the bits and pieces that survived my 2012(?) computer crash, then I have good news for you! I posted those bits and pieces to my Shutterfly page: https://photos.shutterfly.com/album/60149457866. Good luck!

Descriptive words fail me, when I see your layout. I used to put together a Christmas village with trains every year and I know how much effort that took.
But my buildings and details were all store-bought ready built. The amount of labor it must have taken to assemble your "village" is truly mind-numbing! I really enjoy your talent. I used to take my kids (all of whom are now pushing 50) to Disneyland when they were small. Your models bring back a lot of memories. Please keep posting.

Thanks! I will! I should get started sometime around the 11th with the cleaning, furniture moving, etc. with the 22nd being my target "finished" date.

If I succeed in shrinking myself to a 3" tall child I wanna be in your Disneyland OK???

Thanks for the offer Becky. I tried but couldn't access the files. I think I have something similar to yours. I'm working on monorail design to use with 6 inch action figures.

Better make it 1 1/4" otherwise you wouldn't fit on the train.

Dang. Back to the drawing board.
