Cheap Kit, Big Building - Modeling an N Scale Graffiti-Covered Plaza Through A Creative Lens

The Oceanwide Plaza in Los Angeles is poised to become the graffiti tribute of 2024! There's something dystopian about an abandoned billion-dollar project being overtaken by hundreds of graffiti artists, transforming it into urban art. This structure has inspired numerous modellers. Witnessing my friends craft their urban structures, I felt compelled to model my interpretation of this iconic building. Opting for affordable model kits from Outland Models, priced at around $25, I fashioned a three-sided structure and a two-dimensional background. I adorned it with 60 different variants of graffiti pieces, drawing inspiration from the actual artists at Oceanwide Plaza. While this project demanded considerable time and effort, with countless colours applied through dozens of stencils to replicate the unscaled buildings in the video, it proved to be a rewarding endeavour. I'm genuinely pleased with the outcome of this creative exercise.

Indeed, but I also think that the hard work is still very well visible. It's a neat little detail that adds some vibrant colors to catch the eye, so people will take a closer look and then see all the hard work that went into every single grafitti.

Iv watched this twice now bc I’m blown away by the amount of detail you took on but couldn’t put my finger on how it could be closer to the source. I think it’s that the stencils are all the same rough size and tags aren’t that exact in most cases. A few that were taller or shorter mixed in maybe. Brilliant work either way.
@NScaleDystopia
@NScaleDystopia 6 месяцев назад
Sometimes making something small, doesn't mean the scale is correct. The graffiti could have been more refined. It was 'small enough', but not quite accurate enough. Thanks for the comment - it's great feedback.
@MFKR696
@MFKR696 6 месяцев назад
When it comes to scale structures, I can't recommend Balsa Wood and Styrofoam sheeting enough. Can be used to make pretty much anything you can imagine, and so much cheaper than your average kit. Styro can be hardened up nicely with some Mod-Podge sealer. Add some Styrene sheeting for detail and/or load-bearing parts, and then you're *really* cooking with gas. You can get it in pre-textured or plain stock from pretty much any hobby outlet. Evergreen makes some great quality plain-stock. Plastruct and Plasticard also make some good pre-textured stock, but it's far more expensive.

Amazing work. Watching this channel here and on other social media really inspires so many ideas for unconventional model railways. I think 1980s grubby British Rail diesels were already pretty dystopian feeling at the time so could be really interesting!

Burnt-out buildings, dreary overpasses, the rust-stained walls of desolate parks, underground passageways, rail yards, the least loved and lest visited subway terminals and neighborhoods all of these places collect the lively scripts of graffiti. Like hieroglyphic weeds the names of the artists call out in bright and surprising color. On the grimmest city blocks it may be the only color in sight. When the adults, the authorities and the city government have all abandon these places graffiti flourish and sing out defiant responses: This place is not forgotten, not by everyone. Not by me. I am still here. I live.

@@neuparadigmABS can also be 3D printed just a bit more difficult. I doubt they are a big enough manufacturer to do injection molding but who knows. They might have started off with just 3d printing and now are moving to other manufacturing processes.
