This scene was inspired by the Black Lives Matter that has been occurring. A liquor store was burned down in Minneapolis during the protest that had turned into a riot that lead to the destruction of a majority of the city. The next day the aftermath of the riots had been visible and this store had been left completely hollow, only being sustained by the walls around it. I took the building and turned it into a scene that would be possible for people to go into and get a slight glimpse of what had occurred during this time. This scene and the words all around symbolize the movement and the reasoning behind the actions being taken by people of color.

To start creating this scene all that is needed is Tinkercad and some patience. If completely focused this should take approximately an hour or slightly more to complete.

Step 1: Create the Base

Go to the sidebar and select basic tools and shapes
Select round roof
Rotate until the curve is facing the front
Size to your preference or slightly smaller than the work plane

Step 2: Make a Hole in the Main Shape

Duplicate the main shape
Paste and align it to the original
Shrink the sides and the front until it can make a reasonable hole in the middle
Makes sure to select the shape you are using to cut through as a hole and the original shape as a solid
Select the 2 and group
You should see how the shape has been cut through and if adjusting is needed then undo and fix sizing

Step 3: Create the Back

Raise the entire shape up to a reasonable height: not too high and not too low
- Remember you need space for the outer walls
Make the main shape slightly thicker
Make a box the length and width of the back of the main shape
Raise the height all the way to the top
Duplicate the box
Cut out the back
Paste the box exactly where it was and make it a solid
Make sure to align both shapes

Step 4: Create the Walls on the Side

Duplicate the main shape and move it outwards
Create a box to cut out the front of the shape: a little more than halfway
Drag the walls back and lower them until they touch the work plane
Position the walls by adjusting the height and moving them slightly forward
Fix the width and bring walls slightly closer to the center until they are visible from the top view but still touching the main shape

Step 5: Create Opening on Outer Walls

Create a box on one side
Adjust it so that it will split the wall into 2 equal parts
Duplicate the box and drag it over to the other side
Select all 3 shapes and create the openings

Step 6: Create Columns at the Front

Select the cylinder from the basic shapes and tools bar
Adjust the length, width, and height so that it looks like a small column
Align it to the top shape
- Easier to align from the bottom view
Duplicate the column and repeat the process for the other 3

Step 7: Make the Top of the Building

Duplicate the top shape and drag it out to the side
Adjust the length of the shape
Drag it back into the main image
Raise the shape so that it sits on top and align it
Fix the length, width, and position as needed until it looks like the picture above

Step 8: Create Opening on Sides of the Main Shape

Select the round roof shape
Move towards the back and raise until it's in between the top and bottom of the main shape
Adjust the height and the width so that it stretches out and becomes slightly thinner
- Make sure to create this as a hole
Duplicate the shape and repeat the process all around
- Rotate when necessary on the curves
There are 13 openings in total
Select the shape you want to cut through and all 13 of the holes
Group them together and the openings will be created

Step 9: Add Phrase to the Top

Select the whole and image and click on the lock all the way to the right so that you don't accidentally move the image while adding the phrase
Go to Text and Number's and select the letters needed to spell out Minneapolis
- Select one by one
- Leave a space between Minne and Apolis
Align them and make sure to not change the size
Group all the letters and rotate the word so that it faces the front
Drag it over to the left side of the top shape and make sure to raise the word so that it is at the same level as the top shape
Rotate it slightly to the side as if trying to wrap the word around the top shape
- Adjust the height and width so that it fits
- Make sure part of the word is touching the shape
Ungroup the word however regroup Apolis and move it out of the way
Start rotating and adjusting the letters in Minnie in order to fit around the left side
- Do not make the words too big or you will not have enough space for the next process
Repeat this same process for Apolis on the right side
There should be enough space in between in order to insert the next phrase
Create the abbreviation BLM and add 2 I's to the sides to create the separations
Repeat the same process that was done for the word Minneapolis
- Make sure to ungroup the I's and BLM in order to adjust the sizing
Fix the height of the I's until they no longer look like letters but more like dividers
It is important to make sure that all the letters are touching the wall
Once all the letters and words are adjusted group the entire top shape and words besides BLM
After that group BLM and set it to a different color as the main image

Step 10: Phrase on Back Wall

Similar to the last step: create all the phrases that are going to be needed for the rest of the building
Group: I Cant Breathe
Group: Black Lives Matter
Group: Fight Against Inequality 2020
- As seen in the picture above
Start off with Black Lives Matter and rotate it so that the phrase is facing the back
Drag over to the back of the building and try to center it
Select I Cant Breathe and repeat a similar process as before
However, shrink the phrase to fit on the left side of Black Lives Matter as seen above
Duplicate I Cant Breathe and move it over to the right side
Select Fight Against Inequality 2020 and repeat the steps done for the last 2 phrases
Shrink down and move all the way to the left bottom side
Make sure all phrases are moved back so they are touching the wall

Step 11: Phrase on Back Wall Facing the Front

From the remaining words group Color Is Not A Crime and repeat the process that was done for Black Lives Matter on the back wall
However make sure to rotate the phrase so that it is facing the front

Step 12: Phrase on Outer Walls on the Inside

From the remaining words
- Group: George
- Group: Floyds
- Group: Life
- Group: Mattered
Take George and rotate it to the side so that it is facing the right side
Rotate it against the y-axis so that it is standing up
Move towards the left wall closest to the back and adjust it against the strip of the wall so that the word covers a majority of the space
Make sure the word is touching the wall
Repeat this process on the strip of wall next to George for Floyds
Make sure to rotate wherever necessary on the small curves of the wall
Repeat this process for both Life and Mattered
Makes sure these 2 are facing the left side

Step 13: Phrase on Outer Walls on the Outside

With the remaining words
- Group: both No's separately
- Group: Justice
- Group: Peace
Repeat the process done on the last step
However now the words will be on the outer walls
Do not stretch out the No's too much or they will look too mushed together
It is better to just center them on the strip of wall as seen above

Step 14: Final

You are finally done
Zoom out and look at what you have created
- A store that had been burned down during the riots in Minneapolis representing the injustice committed against George Floyd's life
