A few shots from today.
Looks like the unthemed side of the building is at least getting the London waterfront treatment.
Big guy getting the blues.
I'm starting to really like the mural.
Can just make out the beginning of a texture on the wall in what I guess is the queue.
Lastly, some electrical work up on the temple.

Very Very nice pics !! Merci beaucoup 
The rock work is amazing, Nasal is gorgeous for this stuff ! I Wonder if nasal would accept a student in Design like me for an internship !
Do you know if disney have contractors for this kind of work ? or did they have their own rocks sculptor ?

Any updates on softs? I'm heading down to the parks first week of March and would love to ride it. Have a feeling that it's too early.
Excellent pics Awhen. You and Alicia should go on tour!
Are you already at art school? If so it is very possible. Rock work is a different kettle however... most of the guys are average contractors that have gone through custom tutorials and hands on classes for each job. They either have the knack or they don't and are out.
Disney works very much like Universal in that they design and art direct everything with the caveat that they hire many pros on temporarily to do the master work. They also use freelancers from outside... on the leash of non-disclosure and copyright ownership.
I wish I could tell you more, which I could, but I won't.

Just to make it match probably, I agree it would be cooler and would stand out more if it was a different color. I love the London waterfront treatment. Makes it more full
It has all been painted that base color... the temple, everything. The base color does come through in the final result, it just isn't screeching obvious. It is also a way to bump the chroma a bit and fascinate the eye. Disney's done it for decades.

Yes i'm in a School of Industrial Design in Paris, and i want to take the "space design" option in my third years (5 years of study in this school).
It's could be a cliché but i really want to work in the theme park industry, in the creation & design (of rocks).
Ok i see how they process now.
Thank you Teebin.

I am not sure as I haven't asked. I know that it appeared a bit hinky when they first draped the skin on. Kong 8 weeks after the empire state building plummet... I don't believe it was all fastened in place yet. :stun:
