Hey, everybody. I know its been a very long time since I updated this, but it stalled out when I couldn't find a full set of high-quality blueprints. Well, God changed that recently, when I wound up contacting Bob Gale's agent through several different attempts. I told her of my plan to build the 1955 courthouse square...and within a day, she sent me the blueprints, with one rule attached: I could not profit from anything I made, without a license from Universal. Some of the plans were in the file shmartybird had sent me...but they're much bigger and more clear overall. A few web-sized photos were included too, but I couldn't make anything out of them.
So, the next step is re-drawing the plans so I can see them better up close...and then after that, maybe a cardboard or FoamCore mockup. Its still a long way until completion, but I'd like to finish it by the 35th anniversary.
