Intermediate

Based on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.

How we estimate times · sources and method

Truck, cockpit and modules. One configuration, not both transformations. The three central durations are model-specific editorial assessments. Planning ranges extend approximately from 65% to 145%, rounded to quarter-hours; they are not measured experience-level averages or guaranteed limits.

Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

Chalk in the subway

In 1980, Haring began drawing in white chalk on unused black subway advertising panels.

Read the full story

In 1980 Haring drew with white chalk on unused advertising panels covered in matte black paper in New York’s subway. The contrasting marks made figures legible on surfaces encountered daily by passing commuters.

A public laboratory

Between 1980 and 1985, hundreds of subway drawings developed his rapid-line language before commuters.

Read the full story

Haring made hundreds of subway drawings between 1980 and 1985, sometimes forty in a day. Commuters would stop and speak with him at work. This public laboratory combined experimentation in line with direct audience encounters, making conversation part of the experience alongside producing the images.

SET THE MOOD

A soundtrack for your build
