Update: Expanding my WTC project to all of NYC! (PS5)
Hey guys! Not sure what time it is for you all, but I’m dropping this here anyway—hope I’m not bugging anyone hahaha.
About a month ago, I posted my "to-scale" World Trade Center project. Well, I’ve decided to go all in and expand it to the whole of New York City!
In my previous post, I asked for help picking a timeline. Because of the height limit (the towers are 58 blocks wide and 310-320 high with the observatory/gear), I couldn't fit the North Tower antenna. Since it couldn't be a perfect 2001 replica, I decided to set the project in 2026 to justify the missing antenna.
In these photos, you can see the progress! I’m currently working on Church Street. I’ve finished the Plaza—just need to add the streetlights and benches. I also added some green areas that weren't there before; I figured that by 2026, they definitely would’ve added some trees to that massive concrete Plaza.
I’ve also finished a section of Vesey St and started working on the Millennium Hilton and Century 21. WTC 7 and the Federal Office Building next to it are almost done too. For extra realism, I’m updating the shops—like swapping the old WTC 5 Krispy Kreme for a KFC to keep it modern.
Just a reminder that I’m building on PS5, so it’s gonna take a while just to finish the Financial District. My plan is to get the surrounding area done first, then finish the towers, the Mall, and all the interiors.
If any of you are fans of these iconic buildings and want to help out, hit me up in the DMs! Sorry for the long post, have a great day and I'll catch you at the next update 🤙**🏻**.
Ps: sorry for the translation, I had Gemini do it.. 🇮🇹🇺🇸
