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 everyone, and after waiting forever (2 weeks) for a delivery of 1x1
plates, The final product is on brickshelf at:

Enjoy :)


Damn! I was SO going to do this! I was probably going to just use decals though,
so yours is very impressive. Nicely done.

One suggestion for a subtle detail... I made my spray cans the same way you did,
but I realized that if you use a 1x1 transparent (whatever color) cone on the
tip, it kinda makes it look like the paint is spraying out.

Feel free to use that idea if you like it. Great work!
