"Mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
About this creation
And this should just about wrap it up...
I won't absolutely 100% guarantee this is the last Walls post you'll ever see out of me -- hell, I promised I'd quit building Shannonia a couple times and we know how that went -- but I'm thinking we'll keep this limited to a trilogy. I need to concentrate on working some of these nice wall designs into real dioramas instead of these carpet-sample bundles.
As chronicled in Murder on Skunk Street, MOCpages' other resident Shannon challenged me to build a graffiti wall and then laid down the gauntlet by building one himself. Was I up to the task? Forge on, faithful viewer, and find out for yourself...
Welcome to the Jungle
I know, I know, it's not much of a wall -- I was trying a few different things this time, not all of them successful. Trust me, there are better ones to follow. Such as...
MAH SUPER COOL WARHTOG AND CUSTOM MASTR CHEIF!!! OMG!!!
If you can decode the hidden message in this wall, please don't translate it in a review. I would prefer that people waste valuable minutes of their lives deciphering it for themselves. Thank you for your cooperation.
Indiana Jones and the Wall of Skulls
That's right, a proper yellow Indy -- the way nature intended.
Episode III - Revenge of the Shan
I never did come up with any brick-built graffiti I was happy with, but I thought this printed tile mosaic was a pretty cool effect -- like one of those city walls overloaded with posters and leaflets and stuff. So I'll call this one the answer to my Down Under doppelganger. (No, that is not his sig-fig walking through.)
"I fart in your general direction!"
If you don't get the reference, you must go cut down the mightiest tree in the forest -- with a herring -- before being allowed to pass on to the next wall.
70's Night
This one also arose out of my attempts at graffiti, trying to maneuver small plates into a workable painted-looking design.
Five plates height (without studs, so four plates and a tile) equals two studs width. Use this knowledge wisely, kids. SNOT on! Or build yet another terrible warthog, what do I care.
Shady Deal part 3
What's in the briefcase? Ah, much like the one in Pulp Fiction, it shall remain a mystery.
"We happy?"
"Oh yeah, we happy."
"I'm not playing anymore unless you let me wear the red suit."
"Would you quit whining for once? God!"
"It's not fair! You always get the red suit!"
"I'm older."
"Mom said to let me have it sometimes."
"No way. You'll just pee your pants in it again."
"I WILL NOT!"
Flower Power
Yeah, I'm in front of a yellow floral wall this time, so what? You got a problem with that? At least I don't carry a man-purse like that fancyboy Indy.

Morse code in a wall! Awesome. I got down to the third line- then actually saw the AWESOME CUSTOM WARTHOG AND MASTR CHEIF and burst out laughing. Nice work with the 70's wall, too, but I think the plastered over wall with all the random tiles is best-the mushrooms are my favorite. I have to get one of those tiles! |
