I just found an awesome site that has a bunch of paper models you can build spanning some cool parts of Disneyland, past and present. If you head over to DisneyExperience.com, you’ll find what I’m talking about.

As for this page, I’m going to show you what I’m working on right now:

Once I get a camera in here, I’m going to show you the pics of me actually building it and the slight modifications I made. In the meantime, here’s the mods:

1. Changed the font from the common StartedByAMouse to a commercial font called Kingdom — This cleaned up the overall look since the ‘free’ font is very jagged and is also out of proportion in some areas.
2. Used wood sticks painted yellow to represent the flag poles — Obviously this upped the ante on realism by replacing the paper cutout ones. I used the standard yellow Testors model paint.
3. Used a fine-tipped Sharpie to redraw the dotted fold lines to better hide them — There were a few areas where you could see the fold lines, so using a marker cleared this up and also added a little more definition to these areas.
