Hi all.
Seeing as a lot of you tend to do large town scenes for layouts (and I
couldn’t find a group any more relevant :), can anyone give any
suggestions on how to do graffiti on a wall?
I have a large (64 studs x 12 bricks) wall in plain grey and I’m trying
to make it slightly more interesting.
I’ve tried getting photos and reducing them in Paint Shop Pro but they
look absolutely rubbish at brick/plate resolution.
Thanks

I did some very simple graffiti for my NY Subway scene and I can send you the
MPD if you like. The basic principle I worked on was using colours to ‘spray’
out from the letters. I also think that pastel colours (like sand green/blue,
medium blue etc.) tend to make for good effects. Of course this is practically
microscale compared to what you’re talking about but the basic principle should
hold.
