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.<\/p>\n

After opening my Etsy<\/em> store<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Two of the old ticket booths can still be seen at the entrance of the Southern California Railway Museum<\/em><\/a>. I was fortunate to be ale to take some close-up photos for reference.<\/p>\n

The model kit comes with a User Guide as well as printable window and sign templates.<\/p>\n
