Stupid Guest Tricks

I will take you out to In N Out and get you 5 x 5 animal style with animal style fries and a chocolate regular shake.

GF as in girlfriend? I know it is Grand Floridian, lol, just checking.

About to post to my flickr some great reference photos once I am done editing them. BTW, I think we need a GPS collar for the Big Wallaby.

Forgive the multiple posts, but I thought you all might like to see some pictures, proof that there has been progress on this project and I haven't completely been slacking off over the past few months!

Since my last pictures, I've added the Poly station, the MK station, the South Garden Wing of the Contemporary, the Contemp Convention Center, the Wedding Pavilion, and lots of other little details I've probably forgotten. Even the stuff I've posted here before should look better, though, since I've gotten the shadow rendering working correctly. Enjoy!

Over the TTC Ticket Booths (note that the TTC Station hasn't yet been built)...


Poly station...








Wedding pavilion (please forgive the lack of foliage)...


Grand Floridian...


Approaching the MK Station...

MK Station...



I was particularly relieved when I finished placing the station and found that the Contemporary appeared straight ahead, just as it does in reality.









Magic Kingdom...


Approaching the Contemporary. The Convention Center was an interesting building to model (particularly since I never paid it much attention when I was at WDW). Oh, and yes, that is a construction crane on the left. The construction of the Bay Lake Tower was just getting underway when I was last there, so...






Exiting the CR, with the Wilderness Lodge and the South Garden Wing visible...


South Garden Wing...

South end of the Contemporary...






The view from the WL...


A couple of views of Epcot...




And finally, the toll booth entrance for MK parking...




I'm still hard at work "building"... but I have to admit, it's getting more and more common that I take a break to drive around in this virtual World. It's not the real thing, but it gets me pretty close to feeling like I'm there (and closer all the time!).

(It just dawned on me, too, that the title to this thread is a bit out of date -- summer vacation, ha!)

It is looking great, BRW! Very good looking models and I love the attention to detail you are giving.

I would wear it if you got it, though it might have to be an ankle monitor so it doesn't show up. Then again, that might bring too many questions.

"Why no, it's just a website that's tracking my every move. I mean, it's the coolest website ever, but that's all it is."

Wow, Wombat that looks awesome!!

Nice work Wombat. I hope you're doing lots of backups on your data.

That's a really good idea. I should try that someday. :D:

J/K -- though you did inspire me to re-archive everything, and copy the lot to a CD-ROM as extra protection from a crash. 67MB, 7 months and untold man-hours is a lot to do over.
