Building Wonderland Part 2

Ok. So I think it's finished. I think. I'll probably end up adding loads more to it. So without further ado, Wonderland!

This is the path that runs from the maze/garden to the Queen of Hearts' castle. Yes that is a heart built from blocks. I tried. Credit for trying. And this is the castle;




I took these before I built the heart. This took me three hours. Seriously. This castle - three hours. But, I'm quite proud of it. 


This is the castle garden at the exit of the maze. I know the lighting is pretty funky here but there are funny shaped topiaries, flamingos and flowers. 


Different angle. The light is less funky here. 


Here's a close up of the flamingos and flowers. Flamingos for the croquet game, flowers for the roses. This was the closest I could get to "painting the roses red."


Here's that maze I keep talking about. I got lost in it a few times so I must have made it pretty good. 




I added trees to the twisty winding path. And signposts. Then I added more trees. Looking pretty good. And like I said I would, I made; 


The beach from the Walrus and the Carpenter. However, I have neither a walrus nor a carpenter so its just a beach. And last but not least;


Giant mushrooms. 

And so we have Wonderland;


The white bit before the path is the ceiling of the curious hall, then the pathway, tea party, river, mushrooms, beach, maze, garden, heart -


And castle. 

The end. I think.

Building Wonderland

So I, like many Disnerds, have Disney Infinity and I decided that it would be fun to create a Wonderland Toy Box. Hahaa. Bad idea. It is taking forever. But I thought I'd share what I have so far (and it is the bare minimum. Seriously, three hours I've been doing this and its just the basic layout). At the moment I'm playing as Vanellope so it is Vanellope in Wonderland (that would be a great movie). Firstly, the rabbit hole;


So, its just a big hole in the ground surrounded by some trees. I'm working on it I swear. And yes, that is the top of a ladder. I need to get back out of Wonderland somehow. 


This is the view down the rabbit hole. Its quite a fair drop and I have some random things floating around in there; a chair, a mailbox, a lamp post, some luggage. What you would normally find in a rabbit hole. At the bottom of the rabbit hole we find ourselves in; 


Dun dun dun, the curious hall. I know there are meant to be a lot of doors in this room but its stupidly hard fitting the walls around the doors. So there is one. The tiny one. And yes, its automatic. Just walk right up to it, through into Wonderland. And I know that it looks like the table is supporting the ceiling. Its not. Thats just the angle. 


Like I said, through into Wonderland. This is the beginning of that twisty winding path through the trees. No tress just yet. Heres a better view;


Was still busy changing the path into bricks when I took this. Trees and signposts coming soon. And I know that this path is not after the curious hall but its Wonderland so its allowed the be crazy and out of order. That and I can't build a sea with a bottle for a boat. Will probably build the beach from the Walrus and the Carpenter. 


Mad hatter's tea party.


So here's a view of Wonderland so far. Shot taken from the top of the Rabbit Hole. So theres the path, a snaking river, rolling crazy landscape and the start of the maze that will lead to the Queen of Hearts' castle.
