Need your help finishing my SW build

[aengus]

Hello

Even if you dont play smallworlds I need your help!

I need a picture of the kodak store to the right side of spaceship earth, where you return your locker key etc. I cant for the life of me find one and its holding up my latest creation!

Please help its the last piece to put this thing in the history books LOL

[BobRichmond]

...need a picture of the kodak store to the right side of spaceship earth...
Exterior or interior? You will owe me a Kasbah Coffee from Morocco next time you are down here!

[aengus]

haha Bob I knew i should have just asked you directly LOL

Heres a pic of what I have so far, I stole one out of a youtube video LOL but it will give you an idea of what I am trying to do. Right now I would like a straight on picture of the entrance so I can make it look like the entrance to the building. The interiors would be gravy because I do hope to keep building and create my virtual epcot.

Kasbah Coffee's abound! :rotfl:

heres what I am trying to make look more realistic at the front

...Kasbah Coffee's...
If the weather holds up will make a quick stop this afternoon. If not, tomorrow morning for sure. Hope you don't mind people in the exterior shot as it will be near impossible to get it otherwise. Will see how wide angle my camera can go for the interiors or just get multiples of interior.

If you don't know - Kasbah Coffee is North African expresso with Frangelico (hazelnut liquor).

Wow! That's fantastic.

Do the billboards in the center actually stack, or is that an optical illusion?

I didnt know, and I just got more interested LOL

Thanks so much Bob, and please take your time. Next time you were headed there would be great. I got something there at least now as you can see.

Kim, I know exactly what you mean, I finally feel like I am finding that zone again. NOW IF THEY WOULD JUST GIVE ME SOME DARN FEATHERS!

[tinkabellspirate]

Woohoo!! that looks great, now can we talk about recreating my rooms from vmk, virtually speaking of coarse...:thumbsup2

[BobRichmond]

Don't even think about not buying me that coffee or I'll get Cindy after you for me waking her up early in the morning while getting ready to go to Epcot for you.

I am continually amazed:confused3 that in this day and age of plentiful, readily available information on WDW the number of groups that come in the turnstiles at Epcot, get to the shady spot under Spaceship Earth, and then pull out their guidemaps to figure out what the queue is for. Of course that shady spot is right in front of Camera Center.:sad1:

My camera would not go as wide as I wanted and with the crowds it took me about an hour, but I got the 5 shots of Camera Center below and the 2 less populated shots of Gateway Gifts. Hope you can use at least one of them.

Wow! yes I know those can be used. I see 2 different ways I may do it. I may use the one iwth nobody in it and has the logo, or I may rearrange the room slightly and get the logo up on a poster and the store front by itself. Not sure what will look better yet but that coffee is totally yours! WOOT thank you so much, that totally rocks!

Another thought is to use Paint or Photoshop to splice the name onto a full front shot. They look about the same size and there is more than enough overlap to do it. I created the below pretty quickly in paint. The lines and colors are kind of off, but should show you the possibility.

I knew that Cindy threat would turn you around on not buying me coffee!!!:cool1:

thanks, looks 1000 times better than what I had

[FlyingPegasus]

Too excited to work, sleep, etc....

Just reminiscing about last year and can't wait for those awesome 4th of July fireworks from our balcony........

They do the fireworks over the castle and also over the lake.

The first small picture is a link to a slideshow. Fireworks 07/04/08 CR balcony 11th floor:

These next 2 pictures are looking straight out from the balcony towards the Grand Floridian. The white steaks at the bottom of the pictures are more fireworks going up.

We have decided this year the 4th is a "no parks" day.

Suitcase is packed, will do a load of laundry Wednesday night, so I will have clean clothes for work when I get back.

Oh and I still have a hole in the middle of my kitchen floor, which might be fixed by the time I get home.........

See you all in August!!
