Walt Disney's CINDERELLA CASTLE (Alan Rose)

Walt Disney's CINDERELLA CASTLE (Alan Rose)

For a long time, this sheet has been in my collection.
Again and again I was faced with the question whether I should cut it and start building.

This model, which does not mention the name of the designer A. Pose at any point in the booklet, is something special!
is something special!
Among the other Rose models, it stands out for many reasons:

The Cinderella castle is the smallest among the otherwise very large models.

Cinderella also has - in my opinion - the most components.

The thick booklet with a lot of information is one of the hardest to buy and one of the most
most expensive cardboard models from A. Rose.

In none of the forums to the cardboard model construction I have so far a built model, let alone a construction report.

When I donated Alan Rose's prototype models to the Strong Museum, I showed this model to Alan's widow, Anne Rose. She was surprised to see it and did not remember Alan having any arrangements with Disney. (She did agree, however, that the artwork matched Alan's style.) I suspect that Alan's name was omitted for copyright reasons, but that's just a guess. It would be interesting to know more about the backstory of this model.

Whatever the story behind the design, you have built a beautiful castle, Adolph!

Impressive! Looks more complicated than the Neuschwanstein Castle!
