A rabies scare inspired this transformation from simple to sinister.
• 10 Minutes a Day Chall...
In this video, I transform a seemingly ordinary snap-together kit into a dark, twisted service building with the rabid undead lurking in the fenced storage area.
Earlier this year, I received a pair of kits that seemed deceptively mundane. After translating their labels, I found they were a "bus depot" and an "architectural model." Last month, I started a 10-minute-a-day modelling challenge and decided to include this kit. With June's unexpected rabies scare fresh in my mind, I added a macabre twist: zombies lurking in the storage area, ready to unleash chaos.
Watch as I turn the mundane into a menacing masterpiece. Stay tuned as I add more eerie structures and buildings like this to the layout in the coming months.
I'll see you next time.

Irrespective of the sinister look it looks absolutely fantastic as a rundown warehouse! Great job! Happy modelling. Hans…

As with a lot of people in the comment section, the way you made corrugated steel with the aluminum tape and screw just 😲🤯 I can't wait to try it! This looks amazing. Thanks for showing us!

This is a great blast from the past style of video that first attracted me to your channel. I absolutely love the shift to the extended railroad project (which is new hobby subject for me) but it's equally fun to get back to some sinister synth stuff, sir 💀

Oh I’m back in my happy place!!! So pleased the creative juices are flowing as opposed to mouth frothing!!! I’ve got to say that the bolt threads on the aluminium tape is an absolutely mind buggeringly awesome hack that is so simple it almost hurts!! My hat is not only off to you, but flung !!❤

Poor zombies, waiting for a bus that will never come. Absolutely incredible work. Can’t believe you did this in 10 minutes. I actually said “whoa” out loud when you revealed the shadow layer of “Ghost”. Fantastic graffiti. You’ve inspired me.. to refill my windshield washer fluid. Thanks!

Excellent build! (Viewing this one in Australia. Noticeably more graffiti here than last time I visited.) Great roof and wall colors/textures. Really liked the detailed build montage, esp using the calipers to perfectly cut the garage doors to size. Cheers! Steven

@AriesTabletopModels Ай бұрын

Like all the work you do, this is amazing! One bit of a recommendation would be to add a small caption on screen somewhere stating what kind of paint or what grit of sandpaper you're using. I was curious of a few of those when watching. Either way, I can't wait for the next!

@NScaleDystopia Ай бұрын

I've added those details in the past - and you're right - they're helpful. It ads another layer of effort and I had set a deadline for the video release. I'll certainly consider it next time

I added the Ashburton AT-ST to my Ashburton-style shunting layout last week (why not, eh?), to go with my dilapidated mill and radiation leak. My efforts are fairly shoddy in comparison, but it's a fun escape.

Nicely done! Loving the 'surgery' sequence to turn the lil dudes into zombies :D Does anyone know the significance of the "YONK" grafitti? I saw it in this vid, and I've seen it in my neighbourhood (a whole continent away, and much less artfully presented!) - it must mean something to someone?! What this dystopia really needs now is... a pack of feral, rabid hounds! (Too soon? I like my humour dark and dry, so apologies if I overstepped with that one!). Great dystopian stuff, as always, cheers!

Oh man, that finished building looks amazing. I was looking for a way to make corrugated iron, but I would never have had the idea to use some sort of aluminium tape and a screw! This even allows to change the scale of the corrugation. Also using that thin paper on a tiny model car to make it look like the car is under some sort of tarp is a really cool idea. I have to try both of these out! And of course, staples of the channel such as the broken windows and the grafitti make an appearance. Love it!

@NScaleDystopia Ай бұрын

Thanks - The aluminum tape is really forgiving, and the best part is that it's self adhesive. The only caution is that paint doesn't stick that well to it.

@h.a.9880 Ай бұрын

@@NScaleDystopia I think there are special primers like "Mr Metal", I know they stick well to photo-edged brass, but I don't know if they work well with aluminium... I guess I'll find out sooner or later.

Not that I have any on my layout yet.. I think I might have a very small hut I need to build near the signal box that has corrugated metal roof. I've been thinking of how I will do it... I know for OO/HO you can get kits to do it.. but your bolt threads on the aluminium tape!! I like.. I think I might just do that!! Also, what is the tape you put over the car to create the tarp effect? Craig.

What effect does windshield de-icer fluid do for the paint or airbrush?

@NScaleDystopia Ай бұрын

I have found that its a good thinning agent - the paint dries quicker and applies quite evenly. It 'elevates' cheap craft store paint.

great build 👌🔥 question about the graffitis. have you lasercutet those?

Yes - I did a graffiti tower a few months ago - 60+ different stencils. Laser cutting was the only sane way to approach the project.
