Sabotage in Dystopia: Building an N Scale Explosion Diorama
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The news of a new railroad project has spread fast, and some groups want it built sooner than later. Needless to say, there are evil forces at work that introduce new mayhem where they can - even within a Dystopia!
This was a fun little project - Thanks for watching!

Wow that’s awesome. Love the use of the sponge.
Cotton was frustrating to work with... I'm sloppy with glue so it's was sticking to everything. Thanks!
Gorgeous! That explosion is great but look at that landscape! Absolute artistry
I love your building bro
@@moonchild7106 thank you 😊
Many thanks - I truly appreciate your kind words.
Whenever I make model-fire or explosions, trails....I be like "naaaw that doesn't look right!", but when I see it on a pic I took, its :O
I would have used cotton for the black chunks going out to the sides but thats just me. Looks awesome!
I had some cotton and it kept sticking to my fingers and tweezers and I lost my patience with it. :) Thanks!
Woow... thats so freaking awesome! Great video and built! And the ending. Brilliant!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing as always. I'm pretty sure I've binge watched all your videos too many times to count.....
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Absolutely incredible!
Thanks for a model build that actually made me guffaw. The Dystopia is so deliciously and darkly delightful.
Glad you like it! It's a lot of fun.
I do like the dystopia. ‘The dystopia will not go anywhere’ - except dark and disturbing places. Great build. Great video
Another fantastic creation! The chopped-up sponge really does work for an effective LED-lit fireball. Also, I love the background music in your videos which reinforces the menace and creepiness of the Dystopia.
Thanks. The music is provided free by White Bat audio. Great guy; very generous. Check them out!
Ya, I checked out the White Bat channel. Some great music to listen to while building too.
Awesome result! Looks so nice! Congratulations master! See ya!
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW!!! This looks fantastic and lifelike. Always enjoy your work. I like the little Easter egg of the the GO train slowly backing up! Looking forward to seeing your additional layout. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
That was awesome. Thanks. It’s good to see some more N Scale Dystopia. As well as the new layout.
Thank you Norman. There will surely be more to come!
Looks awesome! Makes me want to make one as well.
Oh boy, now this is a masterpiece! I would not have guessed it's that easy to make an explosion this way, but even when it was just coarse turf on wire stuck in a few glued together pieces of sponge, and it looked pretty amazing already!
Hope we'll see some more of the green train's machinations.
The lighting makes all the difference! It's pretty boring until you light it up.
@@NScaleDystopia I think it even looks great without the light, but it's true, the light adds that special something and the "nightshot" with the blue ambient light makes the effect pop even more (though one can't see the masterfully done rust zones as well).
Not only is the modeling impressive and the use of common materials like a minced up sponge to make the explosion super creative, the capacity for storytelling with this is on another level! 😃 Could this be the work of one of the many factions of the Dystopia dealing a massive blow to a rival of theirs but destroying their valuable fuel supply? Or perhaps it was a booby trap disguised as a peace offering? Who knows!
Also, I loved the crafty GO Transit engine shuffling off after the explosion 😂
Thanks! No one can prove that GO was involved in this heinous crime - there is a code amongst passenger fleets - "don't ask, don't tell"
Loved it, great job. Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
Those sneaky Canadian trains!
The Canada Goose of the train world...
Once again your brilliant creativity explodes onto our screen (pun intentional). :)
Anyone else would have used cotton wool for the explosion cloud....but not you. The sponge works brillliantly! A small diorama that packs a big punch! :-D
The sponge was a risk - I hoped it would work and it turned out pretty nice! Thanks!
Haha I love the ending and actually all the rest. Amazing build, so small scale and what a great result!
Thanks Tony!
I’ve always had an observer’s fascination with model train dioramas & admired the skill and dedication needed to create one. Your Dystopia diorama is fantastic and has sparked a wish to maybe start my own some day.
These dark little scenes are a nice break from the everyday. Thanks!
Unreal. Wow!
Enjoyed your video today and liked thanks for sharing DD.
Thanks so much
Haha love the GO cameo
Evil Metrolinx thug!
Fun!
LOL did that train set up the tanker?? Some ole mafia ish hahaha - great build bro.
You didn't see nothing...
Yep. defnitely looks lie an explosion orginating from the track level..Something was most certainly planted there.
Nice work. GAave me some ideras for making my own explosions.
These kind of videos make me wish I had at least one artistic bone in my body. I can't even begin to think of anything creative 😂
We all take inspiration from somebody somewhere . I didn't come up with this idea independently. There are other people out there doing similar things. Either way, thank you for the kind words.
Looks great. Using ground foam for the flames is a great idea that I've never seen before (I've only seen cotton wool being used). Maybe it'd not work for larger scales? Wont know till I try it. Cheers, Kev.
I have seen the cotton used as well for the fireball. The sponge looks really good as well.
Paint that explosion white and you got my reaction. (You can block me) 😂❤️
Dear Lord man...
Hey! Can you try making a N-scale locomotive but abandoned in the woods? Also great video!
The lore grows... who are the saboteurs?
I cannot say for certain... But a particular green and white public transportation company seems to be a suspect
@@NScaleDystopia Now that's heavy lore!!! 😱
🚂🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What about some graffiti on the rolling stock?
I've been playing with marker pens to see if I can get a result I'm happy with. I'm not yet happy with what I've created. Soon though...
@@NScaleDystopia Great I will be looking forward to seeing it.
