I don't recall it being on the park maps let alone even being marked except by symbols but I remember it being hard to tell it wasn't part of guest relations on the map. I do know that the door was a Dutch door.

I have found just about all I could find on the kennel, which isn't much. So I'll have to do a lot of guessing on it's design. But thanks for what info you could give me. I found an old photo from 1980, but it's not very great.
I'll have the sketches done by [s]tomorrow[/s] today. I'm doing an all-nighter.

Then I will work on the restrooms, plaza, bridge, and final sketch of the entire model.
I plan to start construction by next week.

A few kennel / lost and found changes, and info on the palladium restroom entrance.

On the front of the kennel the single door is a half door, and you have have it in the correct place. where the brick meets the siding is where a fence connects to the fence that goes down the season pass pathway.

There is not a double door on the front of the kennel, so it should all be siding.

On the right side of the building there is a door positioned to the left, and no door on the back.

Beside admission services there was a fence that opened to go down into the palladium for restroom use during the day, this was the only restroom outside the main entrance.

^Thanks for helping. I'm glad that someone remembers what it looked like.
Here's the new changes:

Here's the Restroom/Gift Shop/locker Rental building:




Now, all of the deceased buildings have been drawn to scale.
Now I will sketch the Bridge,
then all other objects that will be within the model, such as trash cans, light poles, and the like.
Then I will draw the final sketch of the ENTIRE model.
I'd say by Wednesday of this coming week I will be able to start the construction...

Should I film a time lapse of the construction, or take pictures, or both?

Hey, everyone, Instead of the maintenance road, should I include the old train depot, tracks, and steam train? or just have the maintenance road.

This will also be determined by how much time and money I have (which is very little).
I'm thinking about including the ole' train.

Thanks.
The sketches of the bridge only took a few hours. If I can find wire small enough, I will replicate all of the rod iron railing details on the bridge. All of the poles and other small three-dimensional work will be sculpted from air dry clay.

I forgot about the Toll booths, so I will sketch those next, then I will sketch all of the objects in the plaza, then I will draw the model as a whole actual size. I'm hoping to have the Plantation House done in time to bring to the Winter Warm Up for you guys to see in person. I'm hoping for this model to be on display at the park when I finish. I will give it to the park.
