I like my Wonderland minifigures. I want to take more pictures with them. :3

These are the minifigures I used in my Mad Tea Party scene. Alice is rather plain but it's the best I felt I could do.

Statistics prove, prove that you've one birthday,
one birthday ev'ry year.
But there are three
hundred and sixty four
unbirthdays.
That is why we're gathered here to cheer.
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you.
A very merry unbirthday to you,
It's great to drink to someone and
I guess that you will do.
A very merry unbirthday to you!

-Walt Disney's Alice In Wonderland (1951)

I love the books and film so I decided to make this scene to commemorate my love for them. I was very much inspired by Legohaulic and Littlehaulic's scene. The chairs were inspired by the gazillions I've seen here on Flickr.

Here's a reference photo.

These are the minifigures I used in my Haunted Mansion vignettes. I figured they deserved a group photo.

Check them out here, here, and here!

Hitchhiking Ghosts

"Ah, there you are, and just in time! There's a little matter I forgot to mention. Beware of hitchhiking ghosts! They have selected you to fill our quota, and they'll haunt you until you return! Now I will raise the safety bar, and a ghost will follow you home!"

-Ghost Host

Just another Haunted Mansion picture I took. I used a small lifelite to light this shot.

Madame Leota

Walter Benson posted a photo:

"Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat; call in the spirits, wherever they're at. Rap on a table; it's time to respond. Send us a message from somewhere beyond. Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween: awaken the spirits with your tambourine. Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond; let there be music, from regions beyond! Wizards and witches, wherever you dwell, give us a hint, by ringing a bell!"

-Madame Leota

Here's a specially lit shot of Madame Leota. I was trying to imitate the lighting from the ride, although it's hard to do, even with Lifelites!

"The happy haunts have received your sympathetic vibrations and are beginning to materialize. They're assembling for a swinging wake, and they'll be expecting me. I'll see you all a little later."

This is the first in a series of Haunted Mansion vignettes that I recently built. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.

Tia Dalma's Shack (Front View)

Walter Benson posted a photo:

"No worries! Tia Dalma and I go way back... thick as thieves, nigh inseparable we are... were... have been... before..."
"I'll watch yer back."
"It's me front I'm worried about." -Jack and Gibbs

See the whole diorama here.

I've always loved Tia Dalma's shack from Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. It was no doubt inspired by the shacks seen on the classic Disneyland attraction in California. Wooden shacks on the bayou were always cool to me, so I just had to make this scene sooner or later.

I was also greatly inspired by _Matn's version of this scene. When I saw his depiction I knew this would be a fun scene to build. It was one of the many cool things from the film.

Plotting Pirates

Walter Benson posted a photo:

As the pirates slowly peruse their treasure map and prepare for departure, Captain Jack Sparrow slowly peers down from above, hoping to sneak a glimpse of the treasure map, and where it might lead.

This vignette was intended to be the first of a series of scenes in a story, but I abandonded the idea early on. I'm just sharing this to let you all know that I still live, and I intend to continue building.
