Well if I see one that isn't in the thousands I may pick it up if someone would be willing to do the casts.
I could probably work with a friend of mine to make that happen. He was planning to do exactly that with his own copy several years ago but had to sell it before he got the chance to do so.Well if I see one that isn't in the thousands I may pick it up if someone would be willing to do the casts.

Disneyland tunnel entrance sign reproduced by our own hdtheater. Amazing work!
Where did you get the flower buttons to place in the corners?
You chose wisely. They look good.Michaels. Just found something that looked similar to add to it.
I've been planning on recreating some of the characters from the tiki room for my office for some time. The plan would be to build each as an animatronic and create a show with them. The tiki drummer is as good a place as any to start with (not to mention probably one of the easiest to animate). The end run would be to build the totem, a couple of the drummers, and then the flowers. The parrots may still be out of reach, but may tackle them during the cold winter months!
The Tiki Drummers have been a goal of mine for years. Still hoping some day for some good high Rez 360 photos of one to facilitate a 3D model
Kevin Kidney just restored a couple of the birds and made one of the parrots a while back (he used to work at Disney and does collectables for them)
I'll be at Disney World in a few weeks actually, so I'm going to do me best to get as many photos as I can. They hustle you out of there between shows, so I'll have to be quick. If I'm successful, I'll post them up here.

I can't remember the layout at WDW. In Disneyland the drummers are high above and poorly lit. I took pics last year and for 3D purposes they were all but unusable
We need someone with one of the big figs to do 360 photos and multiple angles

I never would have thought to use pneumatics and electro-magnets for those tiny birds. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

You're right, they are along a top ledge, so it would be tough to get any sort of reference from a photo. Sigh, so much for that idea!

I have one of the 50th anniversary drummer replicas. I would be willing to take some photos and post them here. Unfortunately, I have a crazy busy week or so ahead of me. So if you don't mind waiting a week or so, I will get some photos posted.
