Hello
Some of you may be aware that I'm planning on doing a new On30 mini exhibition layout inspired by Disneyland's Jungle Cruise.
No, the layout won't look like a theme park ride, but rather an African jungle themed layout but will have many of the signature buildings & scenes from Adventureland, because they look really cool.
So inspired by the ride, but sort of realistic, with a lot of fun thrown in.
I've already built one boat for it. Full build here:- La Quila boat (https://modelersforum.com/index.php?topic=7667.0)
So the first structure I'm scratchbuilding is the Lost Delta Boathouse, which is the entrance and building housing the queue line for Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland.
I'm replicating the front facade with some selective compression.
here are some prototype pics

First up is to build the distinctive 3 story middle tower.
Here is the left side, front and right side walls, made from card, balsa and NE lumber clapboards.
Took me about 3 weeks to make these sections, as I don't have any accurate measurements, just using the photos for reference.

Rob, that's a very interesting structure to build.
I'll be here to watch as you make progress with it.
