Scratch Building a War of the Worlds Diorama in N Scale [Trash Bash / Diorama]

  • Опубліковано 21 жов 2021
  • On October 30th, 1938, CBS radio broadcasted a Halloween radio drama narrated by Orson Wells that became famous for causing panic among its radio audience. That episode was H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds. This is week four / project four of my five-week 'Halloween-themed' build challenge and I completed a 10x10 diorama inspired by the radio drama.
    The alien tripod ship was trash-bashed from a spray bottle head, a collection of found bits of plastic and wood, and polymer clay. The building was constructed using the front facade from an Outland Models kit, 2mm styrene sheet and 3D printed details.
    Thanks for watching!

    I love how you were able to craft a Martian Tripod out of such common items! Your Trash Bashing skills are as fantastic as your standard modelling skills! :D

      The spray bottle war machine head was a happy accident! You can thank 'CLR' for doing most of the hard work.

    So good! Loved hearing the broadcast in the background. And the mini toilet.

      The mini toilet thrilled me. I chuckled far too long about it.

    This is the first of your themed builds that I'm familiar with the source material.
    Absolutely incredible job using so many household items to make such a good looking tripod.
    You manage to outdo yourself every time.

    Every once in a while i stumble across a video that completely blows my mind - and this is one of them. Especially the Background Music was so well chosen, it really lifted the experience of watching this build up by a lot. Thank you so much for sharing, this is a piece of art. Both the Diorama as well as the Video! Great Job! ❤

  • @tomdelvetto9906
    @tomdelvetto9906 2 роки тому +1

    I followed the same build path you made but rather than making the tripod a statue I made it a pose able figure with the legs being wire inserted into rubber tubing, the same with the tentacles but without the rubber, just melted into shape and painted so they retain their posability, I also made miniature people for it to pick up

  • @RetroRoboland
    @RetroRoboland 2 роки тому

    So much to like in how you built the.. er … Martian. Particularly impressed with the pivot points. And then also the pavement and again with the painting - which I’m learning is really hard. You are an all rounder pretty much

  • @jimmacdiarmid8230
    @jimmacdiarmid8230 9 місяців тому

    Awesome build! I'm very surprised this doesn't have more likes. You have uber trash bash modeling skills! :) If you are planning to do another, it would be cool to do a scene were the tripods are walking over the mountains and through the river destroying the ferry in it's path.

    Beautiful. Imagine 10s of thousands of radio show listeners thinking the invasion was real.

    • @NScaleDystopia
      @NScaleDystopia  2 роки тому

      Apparently the police attempted to enter the boradcast studio mid-show to stop the broadcast.

  • @davidmccann9811
    @davidmccann9811 Рік тому

    I've done the same, but I scratchbuilt the tripod based on the original 1898 illustrations (which looks like a dome on latticed legs).

  • @colonelfailure
    @colonelfailure 2 роки тому

    Superb as ever, but one quick possible improvement... give your weeds on this build a red hue to match the War of the Worlds fiction. It'd be subtle, but those who get it, get it.

    • @NScaleDystopia
      @NScaleDystopia  2 роки тому

      You're absolutely right. I struggled with tiny bits of glue gun string and thinly tease bits of Brillo pad to try to come up with the veiny gross weeds made with people pulp... It was beyond my abilities...

  • @Zenwithpen

  • @Battleshipfan

    Based on how you built this diorama i presume it takes place a year or two after the attack as in the novel it only lasted two weeks

  • @stanleym2679
    @stanleym2679 2 роки тому +1

    Wanted to know what is your base made of and the green sheet you put on top, thanks

    • @NScaleDystopia
      @NScaleDystopia  2 роки тому

      In this example the base is half inch extruded polystyrene foam, with a layer of black foam core, and the final layer is cheap foam sheets that I get from the dollar store - sometimes they come pre-cut in cute little shapes and other times you can just buy them in sheet form.

  • @HavasiP

    Amazing work! Is that a special tool you're using to add glue at 05:45? Or is it just a brand of glue that has a bottle like that?

    • @NScaleDystopia
      @NScaleDystopia  2 роки тому +1

      It's a disposable silicone 'nozzle' that attaches to a 60m bottle of superglue. Thanks!
