Rebuilding River Island part II

One day I made the decision that the two cities had to become ONE and that I had to remove the old city and make a new one. There is second reason why I wanted to rebuild the city. I will tell you that in the next post.

It was not easy to destroy something what I had build. But some buildings are old and made with prims and there are even some slow rezzing sculpty parts. My idea was to make snapshots of all parts the old city. I think for my own memories. If you never been there you would not miss it.

And at day light.

Stairs to the barber shop.

I love that guitar playing guy. He will return in the new city.

This last picture shows how much trouble I got to place items in and keep it accessible and look as in real

Rebuilding River Island part 1

 When we moved to River Island  I placed the club at the corner of the sim and build a city around it. Over the course of time I made changes and placed new buildings. New parts had to fit and I did my best to get them in the space that was left.
When RIPA asked us to build there theater on River Island I was honored and build a platform for the theater and started to build club T.R.A.C.S there also and other buildings. On the sim I removed the old club and on the open space I pushed in some new builds but because of the small area it was always a struggle to squeeze parts in it.

 When RIPA left we had two cities. One in the air and one on the ground of the sim. I placed a big building were the theater stood and went on with the scenery there and neglected the ground part.

           ▲▼ At the top of this building a part of it has no roof and there I build a water and a cactus garden.
                    I love how I decorated that part.

           ▲▼ I forgot to mention a second platform in the air. It is a dome that was intended to be a landing zone                        were you could teleport to other parts on the sim. It was never used and been cleaned up.

The Arcade Gacha Event

The Arcade is a gacha event, featuring over 80 of the grid’s best designers and builders, in which high-quality prizes are sold to avatars at random from gacha machines. Set in a seaside build that evokes the whimsical feel of the penny arcades of early 1900’s Coney Island and Brighton Pier, The Arcade strives to present a nostalgic atmosphere that will welcome an audience seeking great gachas, and continue to be a favorite destination for photographers and vintage architecture enthusiasts.

Brighton Pier in real life.

Gashapon (ガシャポン gashapon) is a Bandai brand trademark widely used throughout the world for their capsule toys. It is also referred to as gachapon 
(ガチャポン gachapon)." Both gashapon and gachapon are Japanese onomatopoeia, made up of two sounds: "gasha" or "gacha" for the turning of a crank on a toy vending machine, and "pon" for the sound of the toy capsule dropping into the receptacle. It is used to describe both the machines themselves, and any toy obtained from them. Tomy, another major player in capsule toy market, uses "Gacha" (ガチャ gacha?) instead of "Gachapon" for their capsule vending machines and toys
