I watched Tangled with my daughters and was inspired to make a tower for them to play with:

Is it self-supporting or is there a wrapping paper tube or something in there to help support it? What an excellent thing to do for your kids.

Now I have to see the movie. Chick flick or kids in general?
	On the other hand, maybe it's the herd that is crazy.

It is built around a thick cardboard tube, like tommygun's tanks and towers.

The movie is good for everyone. Specially the parents of the intended public. Go watch it!

Since it's a project for kids, I intended a simple build, with low detail but the most faithful to the original possible. It was a mix and match of pieces from my collection of models, and it shows.

The interior, in particular was a stroke of luck: browsing for images of the tower back (there aren't any) I found concept art of the paintings Rapunzel does on the inside of the tower! Didn't find the floor of the tower also, but I substituted.

Most of the tower are pieces from Cinderela's and Robin Hood's castles from seite42.de

It certainly turned out well. I do have a question ... why didn't you post this in Hackbarth's Projects?

I spent nearly 2 hours at disneyworld trying to get to Rapunzel's tower before i realized it was just a visual setpiece that wasnt accessable to guests.

mproteau (Paper Realms): I have some nephews that wanted more role playing in their D&D 5e game, and asked if I could run something. We ran a low-level heist out of the Keys from the Golden Vault. I was overly ambitious and made a huge 3d museum. Nov 25, 2024 13:00:34 GMT -9

mproteau (Paper Realms): I'm trying to be better about poking in from time to time. I'm just gettin' old and there's so many places to remember to sign into! What's new? I'm working on cleaning up a fantasy museum prop set these days. Hoping to get it out early December! Nov 23, 2024 12:37:55 GMT -9
