[KineJapan] Manei in Minecraft

[Markus Nornes]

Hi David,

I put looking carefully at this off until now because I thought the link
led to a download of the minecraft world, and I needed technical support
from my boy!  Little did I realize it was just a youtube video. Oh well.

I was impressed at the size. I had no idea Manei was so large. Could you
tell us how you researched the buildings? How accurate is the MC world?

And.....is there anyway to explore the model itself?!  My boy and I are
asking!

Markus
