Celebrating Disneyland in 3D
3D modeling is fun. It’s even more fun when I combine it with my favorite thing in the world: Disneyland! Throw in some 3D-printing capability, and something special is created.
After opening my Etsy store, I soon realized that it would be impractical to sell and ship physical models. I would be printing batches of parts so often that I would never get to print anything else. And, I would be spending my spare time cleaning so many pieces that I would never get to design new models. So, I started offering digital downloads.
To celebrate Disneyland’s anniversary a little early, I designed a model of the third-generation Disneyland ticket booth. The design was used from 1980-2000 before the fourth-generation booths were installed. This is the ticket booth that I grew up with, and it was always exciting just to stand in line for it.
Two of the old ticket booths can still be seen at the entrance of the Southern California Railway Museum. I was fortunate to be ale to take some close-up photos for reference.
The model kit comes with a User Guide as well as printable window and sign templates.
Here are some exclusive photos of the model kit:

What scale are these, I do HO, or 1/87
I don’t make anything to scale unless otherwise stated. I make them to look good at a reasonable size that can be fairly easy to assemble. I’ll try to figure out the scale so that you can adjust the size accordingly.
The scale is approximately 1:33.9, so scale the model down by 66%.
