More Construction on Disney's Haunted Mansion Paper Model 200% Scale

Here are a couple more photos from my build of the Disneyland Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square. This is a 200% blow up of the model at Haunted Dimensions (link on right).

Disney's Haunted Mansion Paper Model build at 200%

In this photo I have added in the first floor railings, the second floor balcony, the second floor railings and I am working on the 2nd floor roof. The construction has been going along as listed in the build instructions included with the model. Some times I need to resort to some drastic measures to keep things in line while glue dries, this is one example. A clamp on the roof edge, held by a a rubber band for tension then held by some wire around the house. Not elegant, but it worked.

Close Up of 2nd floor railings on the Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model

Here is a nice shot of the 2nd floor railings. These are printed on ink jet transparency film and are the single most expensive part of this year's Halloween display. The transparency sheets cost me $60 for a pack of 50 at Staples and I used up quite a few on these railings. Expensive, but there was no way around this. These railings look great and will be perfect once the model is in place and lit properly. In this shot it almost looks like a real house. It is amazing how well this model holds up to the 200% enlargement. More testament to Ray Kiem's design skills. Thanks Ray, I will send you picks of the finished model once it is in the display.
