MEET THE MAKER K-Z: Hi Scott! Why did you build Carl and Ellie’s house from Up? S: My middle 7-year-old son, Leo, watched the movie a lot in 2019. At the end of that year he wanted me to build a cubby house. I asked if he would like a simple version of the house in Up and of course, he said yes. As I designed a scaled version to fit in the space I had, things changed from a simple replica to, ‘If I do this part like the house, I should do other parts like the house’. It started getting more serious. K-Z: How long did the cubby house take to build? S: Due to extra detail in making most parts match the house in the movie, the…
