Lighting
Add lights for beautiful lighting effects.
Walt Disney Standee
Dan (Danny's Land) created a miniature Walt Disney (left) walking through the castle just like in the famous photo. Dan used a different image of Walt, but you can download the original image (right) for yourself.
Right-click and choose 'save as'. Print, cut, and glue the two pieces together, then glue the figure to the rear side of the castle (or onto a small base).
Mini Wishing Well
In the Snow White's Wishing Well paper model is a bonus miniature of the well, a perfect addition to Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Adding Dimension
Becky adds a little more dimension to the castle.
Building Tips
Using Chains
Instead of using thread or string to connect the drawbridge to the raising arms, use small chains for more realism. You can usually buy small chains at some hardware stores and arts/crafts/fabric stores.
