Cinderella City MC model
9 years ago
General
As you may or may not know, I'm working on a Minecraft model of Cinderella City - a large shopping mall in Denver that was demolished in 1998.
But how is this Furry? You ask, because I'm posting about it on a Furry site.
Well, I /am/ going to eventually fill it with Doggos, Deer and Werewolves. Hopefully the Werewolves don't eat the deer.
Eventually I want to get this opened up into a server or something maybe. It will be a little like Werewolf: The Apocalypse, almost literally, because there are Werewolves and this mall was actually in Denver (although, I don't know if Cinderella City was ever a campaign setting in the books, it should have been though. Because it was tre Huge).
I've been mostly using photographs, maps and the one VHS camcorder video of the mall on YouTube taken in 1991 as references. If I could find record drawings (unlikely, because they would date back to the early 80's renovation or 60's originals) it would be spectacular, but it is very hard to get record drawings of a demolished building, especially one which everyone hated at the time of its demolition (I believe Cheddar would call them "Philistenes!" or something). So despite having the shape about 90% correct, I'm having to make a lot of guesses and assumptions.
One of which was that the original ceiling tiles in the lower level - east side 'Cinder Alley' segment of the mall were still painted black after the 1980's renovation.
And I just found a photo which seems to imply that they weren't.
Hooray research!
By the way, this mall is way older than me. I only saw it once, when I was like 9 or 10 years old, and it was almost totally empty by that point. (But it was the largest building I'd ever seen or been in at the time). So my reliance on reference photos and maps is very heavy.
