    Mpc haunted mansion: Play it again sam

    Well it has been forever since I made any customs but I did just finish this up, life gets in the way of having fun. I acquired this model (one of my all time favorites as a kid) about a year ago and finally got around to putting it together over christmas break. It really stretched me. I painted faux wood grain for the first time. I installed LED's (I'll let you figure out where), Installed a sound chip with the famous Disney Haunted Mansion theme and I simulated dust and spider webs also for the first time . . . . . Really happy with it except for the fact that the snap action on the organist broke, I guess due to the age of the plastic. oh well . . . can't win em' all! sorry for the pic size, here's the link to the video:

      I love this. The Haunted Mansion is an obsession of mine, and you really captured it's "ahem" spirit with your additions and overall handling of the kit.

        Man oh man I love that... I love those old Haunted Mansion and original Pirates of the Caribean model kits. Always said that one of these days I was gonna find one. Great job.... Love the lights too. So where's the hidden Mickey?

            Very nice job! I had a couple of those Haunted Mansion & Pirates models as a kid, but I was never very good at putting them together, a lack of patience I guess. Wish someone would reissue them!

              That is amazing! Great job! With everything being reproed under the sun, why hasn't these and the Pirates kits been redone?

                Great job! I loved these, too and would like to see reissues.

                Seems like a no-brainer--perhaps the molds are no longer available?
