\nI’ve had this project sitting on my hard drive for a while, so I guess now is as good a time to throw this out there:<\/p>\n

The Disneyland Haunted Mansion architectural set is a result of years of research. I started the first draft of the Haunted Mansion facade back in 2000-2001 as a quick little project. Since then the obsession for details and accuracy grew. This latest edition incorporates all the information I dug up and learned about the Haunted Mansion’s building over the year. (You might have seen one of the iterations which was a 3-elevation “lithograph” released free to public). I used the original blue prints, as-built measurements, manufacturer’s data of architectural components (either original or equivalent), and lots of pictures.<\/p>\n

Using the above data, I “reconstructed” the Haunted Mansion from foundation in a Building Information Management system (AutoCAD was simply not up to the task this scale). Every detail of the building was reconstructed per architectural standards.<\/p>\n

What’s different above this set is that I am including architectural details as part of the set, such as properly dimensioned cornice profiles and door moldings.<\/p>\n

In my previous attempts at recreating the Haunted Mansion, one of the hardest part was getting the famous balcony railing correct. I decided that the only way to get this to work correctly was to buy the actual pattern. This allowed me to get very exacting dimensions and pattern into the drawings. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The end result is a 36-page, 24″x36″ set. It includes floor, roof, and patio plans; exterior, patio, and railing elevations; millwork, cupola, chimmy, pediment, column details. It does not include site and landscapes. That’s a completely different beast!<\/p>\n

Now, I’m not an architect, but I’ve worked with one so I understand some amount of detail and standard that architectural plans required. Having said that, I believe this set is accurate enough for any model makers.<\/p>\n

Eagle-eyed fans may also noticed that some major components are missing from the previews above. It is still work in progress, but very nearly done.<\/p>\n

Stand-by for more as I figure out how to package the set for public consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
