Disneyland Haunted Mansion Hallway Diorama

The last of the Disneyland Haunted Mansion Diorama rooms is the Hallway. This one is a simple construction, mostly used to house a 50% scale build of the Demon Clock from The Disney Experience web site. http://www.disneyexperience.com/ This is a great site for any fan of Disneyland.

This first image shows the basic construction. This is one more of the 1 foot square rooms, sized like the others. On the left side is a straight wall with a bit of Haunted Mansion Foyer wallpaper. The right side is set at an angle for a little more interest with the spooky eyes wallpaper from the Disneyland Haunted Mansion Hallway. The wood flooring is just some wood contact paper. And of course the Demon Clock from The Disney Experience built at 50% scale to fit the model. After finishing this room I picked up a smaller paper model from Trader Sam at The Disney Experience that would have been a better fit, but I already built this one, so it stays.

Here is the finished model. This includes a little lead figure suit of armor, that I put on a box to bring it up a bit in the display. The door on the right is just a print out  pasted onto a piece of black foam core, cut out, and attached to the wall. The picture and the Tomb Sweet Tomb on the wall are from a little Disneyland Haunted Mansion paper box that I found on one of the Disney web sites, family.go.com You can find tons of great Disney stuff on this site. The link will take you to the Disneyland Haunted Mansion paper box.

Finished Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model at 200%

Well here it is, the finished model. This works great at 200% and I almost feel like rebuilding the other Haunted Mansions from HauntedDimensions.com at 200% as well. If I have some spare time this year I may just do that.

Disneyland Haunted Mansion Paper Model from HauntedDimensions.com, built at 200% scale
You get a bit of a feeling for how large this is with it just sitting here on my dining room table. But to really see the enlargement, here is another picture next to one of the HauntedDimension.com models built at 100% size. The other model is of the Paris Disney Haunted Mansion and is about the same size this enlarged one would be if built at the regular scale.

The nice thing about the enlarged size, it is big enough to look correctly scaled with my store bought Halloween village decorations. This model looks great at 200%, all of the detail holds up perfectly. It really feels like it was meant to be built at this size.
