Our second building maze of the year takes us to San Antonio and the famous Alamo Mission. I had made a maze of the Alamo before and decided I wanted to upgrade and see if I could improve on the previous version, I think I did. Why am I fetauring this maze, this week ? Well, The Battle fo the Alamo was fought between February 23 – March 6, 1836.
Some information about The Alamo Mission
Famous for the 13 day siege that was part of the Texas Revolution. Despite losing the battle, Texas defeated the Mexican army a little of a month later to form the Republic of Texas. A nice place to plan a visit if you are in the area. Take a tour and learn more in the video below.
The original maze:
I did a simple outline of the building, colored it and included a standard maze. You’ll notice the building is symmetrical with perfectly straight lines and it uses only two colors.
And here is a photo from David R Tribble that I used to make my more detailed Alamo Mission Maze.
The new maze versions:
And here WAS the updated Alamo Mission Maze that I was going to feature this week: It is a large size maze 22x34 inches in full size and is in black and white. The maze construction is draw and cut, and because of the scale it does not look like a maze at first glance (IMO). I used the stones that make up the building as the walls of the maze. Now about the WAS. I like this maze a lot but I decided to take the time colorize it a bit to see if it would improve the maze…

And here is that colorized version. I think it came out well. Which do you prefer ?
