Cut the Base

Sometimes I do science.  I tested each of these three glues.

Which one works best with this plastic.

Here is a pair of scrap pieces of that plastic glued together with Tamiya.

Two pieces with Plastruct glue.

Finally two pieces with the Testors glue.

The key is to cut around the signage.

It's a complex shape to form.

I am using this Odemars figure on for size.  He should be below the bottom of the signage.

 Here is an initial cut of the plastic.

Space Mountain Plan

This attraction is actually an indoor roller coaster ride.  It's filled with lights and distractions to simulate space travel.

The bottom data plate.

Because the signage is a bit low, I decided to make the building a little taller.

The plan is to cut sheet plastic and glue it to the bottom of the buildings.

 I will use a few sheets of this very thick 3.2mm plastic sheet from Evergreen Scale Models.

Space Mountain

Mickey and the Space Mountain from Funko Pops

Here James Bond is visiting the amusement park.  Note he is taller than the entrance way.

The building is made of very thick and durable plastic.

The real attraction is much more complicated than this but the model captures the essential elements of the building.

The large Space Mountain signage is really cool.
 

Space Mickey

Mickey Mouse from the Funko Pop Town Space Mountain set.

The box packaging is excellent, it allows the owner to remove the figure and the building without having to damage the package.  The items can be replaced into the package as if it were never opened.

I am not really a fan of the Funko Pop figures but this one is very cute. 

The bubble helmet is extremely well done.  It is crystal clear.

I like that the little ears poke out of the dome helmet.

Made in Vietnam, I would rather buy from there than from Communist China.  The quality of this product is very high.  No gaps in the part joins or paint problems.
 

Space Mountain

Funko Pop Town, Space Mountain and Mickey Mouse.  I hate what Disney has become, but I love what Disney used to be, and I used to visit Disneyland often. 

This is a great ride, I remember riding on it when it was still pretty new.

This is a very nice box, with holographic images on it.

The ride has been greatly simplified in this version and is smaller than it should be in HO scale.

This is the top view, the packaging is excellent.
