An Amazing Waterfall with a Secret - Realistic Scenery Vol.26

[@rwh09384abc]

These dead leaves and bark are to simulate dead leaves and bark, this is my favorite line of this video!

[@colisanpixel]

"Mmm yes. The floor is made of floor" XD

[@51WCDodge]

Most of us are told 'Don't go out because of Covid! Luke's answer 'No worry, I'll build my own outdoors'. You Sir are an Artist.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol... that's exactly what I'm doing 😄

[@jasonesler2716]

Totally feel the same! My imagination takes me in that perfect colored pool! 👍🏻

[@Varangian_af_Scaniae]

"Most of us are told 'Don't go out'" Maybe it's time for you to push back against your authoritarian leadership. I'm an adult and no corrupt politician will tell me what to do.

[@51WCDodge]

@@Varangian_af_Scaniae I was given official 'advice'. As I am at high risk as I'm on immunosuppresants, I talked to the specaialist team who look after me and made my choices. I'm totally against Authoratarian Leadaership, I was born and brought up somewhere that subject to Nazi Occupation. Yes I have my RIGHTS! I also have a responsonbility to others NOT to put them at risk. Which means I cannot do exactaly what I want.

[@RetroRoboland]

And not just an artist, an entertainer...

[@nekrataali]

"Why hasn't Luke posted a new video?" "So anyway, I made over 100 stalagmites and then glued them in place to make this as realistic as possible."

[@RetroRoboland]

You wait, the next one will have little fish swimming in the water and driftwood gloating in the river. Luke’s dioramas really are next level

[@GamingMuchTerry]

It doesn't matter who you are - being able to watch someone create something from nothing in detailed steps is inspiring, relaxing and satisfying. Thanks for another impressive build Luke.

[@RetroRoboland]

Well not nothing. Out of a heap of stuff and with a lot of skill. But agree, an amazing transformation.

[@Reijack]

Never mind the realistic waterfall and cave system, Luke's bottle flipping skills are what keep me coming back

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Beautiful job. Always happy to watch you work. I admire your patience and ambition with each piece. Then again, I'd be happy enough watching you create whatever you wanted to create - be it an outhouse or a mountain.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol... thanks heaps Merick, an outhouse sounds fun... I'd have to include sound effects 😄 Likewise, I thoroughly enjoy watching your awesome projects as well 😉

[@celestialfox6072]

I love you both 😊

[@claireholcombe5984]

Well said

[@kestag2110]

Love watching you both. You’ve given me wonderful ideas for my project.

[@eggyfried1364]

@@BoulderCreekRailroad I'm very interested in making one of these but I have 2 questions...(one is kinda a favor). 1# is it ok to give me a list of what I need to build the diorama and as well the links? 2# is this project hard? you can send question 1 at my gmail: [e-mail]

[@willtreasure7029]

Obviously the model takes a huge amount of time, but then you go and do all this extra stuff on top like bottle flips and have 3D text that's perspective tracked and blurs realistically when it's obscured by plastic tubs... Just because you can. That's not even to mention the work that filming and editing takes. It's just mind-blowing how much work goes into this! Amazing 👍

[@RetroRoboland]

Well you just know he gets the bottle flip first time. Sounds like you REALLY watch these vids dude!

[@tziirkq]

The tracking has gotten amazing, the amount of work that goes into making the videos, never mind the models themselves, is just mind blowing.

[@MrPsychopathYT]

Who here never builds dioramas but just enjoys watching these videos?

[@l1277]

I don't have the money or space (or skill, tbh) so this is a great way of living vicariously!

[@58Kym]

I have built one diorama that fit into a wide wine glass, 5 yrs ago. That’s it but I watch Kathy, Luke, Mile High and a few others religiously.

[@MrPsychopathYT]

@@58Kym that's interesting, I wanna see a video of a diorama be built in a glass bottle. Sounds complicated

after all the years of modeling, Lukes back yard has to be full of random holes from harvesting dirt, lol

He’s back... Wally couldn’t resist checking out what I was doing. I’ll give you a clue 🔍 He is in the video 5 times 😉... I know it’s not much of a clue, ok here’s a better one... ‘Realistic Scenery Vol.23’. Having trouble finding Wally? You'll find the answers here: www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/find-me-challenge.html 😃

[@kerebharrison459]

Hello, I've been really inspired by your content because it reminds me of wanting to build dioramas when I was younger. I am planning on building my own diorama loosely based on your Alaskan Wilderness diorama. Because I am just trying out making dioramas I don't want to spend a huge amount of money or buy lots of an item that I may not use in the future. One of my main challenges is finding a resin I could use for deeper casts that I don't have to purchase in bulk. Do you know any products that I could use? Thanks so much. :)

[@mikebennett938]

It's about time!!! Thank you!! :D

[@DontAskWhyItsJustCuz]

Amazing like always... I needed this... But a month is too long... Lol... #Salute #StayBlessd #DontAskWhyItsJustCuz

[@Thirster]

Have you thought about doing a similar piece based on piccaninny ponds?

[@matty4z]

5:35 that lil easter egg nice

[@eaharms3544]

Some of your videos make me think, "Oh yeah, I can do that.", and some make me think, "Never in a million years would mine look good." This model is firmly in the second category.

[@patflat456]

I don't even do modeling and I couldn't wait for your next video. Watching a master at work bringing new worlds to life is the pinnacle of entertainment for me. Good to see you back dude!

[@dxagonwrld4630]

I love doing modeling even though I’ve never actually completed one

[@MrShoward73]

Quantity is nice, but quality is far better. Good to see you again, and I loved the end result!

[@berendharmsen]

A new Luke Towan: drop everything, grab a cup of coffee and settle in for a half hour meditation session that previously only Bob Ross could give us.

[@georgecunningham9175]

Ah, nice to see a Towan video in my Notifications list today. I too was beginning to wonder if all was well on your end. But here's the video, and it was well worth the wait! Such an imaginative concept, and so amazingly executed. I am always in such awe of your talents and abilities. PS Thanks for mentioning Kathy's channel - I discovered her channel while searching for something to give me a "creative fix" while waiting for your releases.................and now I find her channel so interesting and amusing that I have to find something to watch while I await new releases from both you and her! For a person who doesn't have any interest in model trains, I do watch an awful lot of modeler's channels! Thank you for sharing this particular build - and for stoking my interest in a world even tinier than the "miniatures" I usually work with.

[@13thMaiden]

That cave is GORGEOUS!!! Miniature caves, I could see that as just displays to focus on as a series.

[@jdinnen1]

At long last! Been looking forward to this!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Hope you enjoy watching 😉

[@madnessbydesignVria]

I just worked 7 days straight (10-12 hour days). I am exhausted, and can barely keep my eyes open.. Wha - A new Luke Towan video? Half an hour long? Should I wait? No. Let what must be done, be done... Always worth it! I also love the community shout-outs. Well done, Sir. Well done... :)

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I love both Kathy's and your videos!!! Funny how you both have gotten away from the railroad side of modeling and are more into the creative scenes!

[@TheOriginalBadger]

I was just thinking the exact same thing! Not a complaint though....its a joy just watching him work!

[@DB--lv6tt]

Boulder creek *railroad* ! Even if nobody else will complain about... I'll do. What a pity!

[@joosh.761]

Man, every time you release a video, they get bigger and better, well done! Keep it up!!

[@nickrogers3111]

Flashlight panning the cave is a great shot, the way the light cast shadows on the ceiling and reflects off the water looks amazing 👏

[@TATICMOOR]

The whole build is a piece of art, and I can't believe my eyes by the time you have finished. When I see the results of the work you have put into your models. It is no wonder you get loads of verbal accolades of admiration in your comments per video you post up. Talking of Kathy, I would like to see you both work on a piece together and see how you would each handle the area's to be worked on. Now that would be a challenge worth watching.

[@LaserGadgets]

NEW LT VIDEO >< YUSSSSSS!!! Can't watch.....gotta work out. D'OOOOH!

I took a break from my riveting boredom...

[@SirAreve]

You my friend are another level. I've watched every video so far and honestly I'm completely blown away. The attention to detail is off the scale! I remember doing h0 scale train sets with my granddad and was pretty happy with what we'd made. Yours is just making out stuff look so bad it actually makes me disappointed in my child self.

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

Other people watch baseball or The Bachelor. I watch Luke creating a piece of a strangely familiar world before my very eyes. Beautiful work! Again!

[@madnessbydesignVria]

Agreed! I'll take this over anything on Television currently... :)

Hey buddy ! Man it was great hearing from you last week or so. Like all the others here in the comments and over on Patreon...your always missed and 1st priority when you pop up with ANYTHING new! Your the best and I couldn't be a prouder Patreon especially knowing of your progression from the early days. Your talent has been on display from day one Vol. 1. Your projects ever more amazing, yet you have remained as down to earth and approachable from the start. My first and favorite KZbin obsession 😉😉

Thanks Lorrie, it's always good seeing you in the comments 😊 It's great to know that even after all these years you still find the projects I'm working on interesting, it's great being able to share them with you. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos and I look forward to talking more on Patreon 😉 Thanks again for such an awesome comment!

[@fancreper]

The timing of this video is perfect! Not long ago I was searching for cave dioramas and didn't find what I wanted. This video is exactly what I was looking for and I am so happy you made it! I hope one day you make an ancient Egyptian tomb diorama, similar to the mineshaft one. I think it would look amazing in your style.

[@RetroRoboland]

Egyptian tomb would be good. I reckon a river in really bad flood would be interesting too

[@lucas.demello]

When the production value is this big, being less than 30 minutes is actually a criminal offense. You're fined with making more.

By far the best unusual hobby channel KZbin has ever randomly decided to recommend

[@RetroRoboland]

Nothing random about talent and entertainment

The real reason we haven't seen a video in a while is because it took you this long to get the shot of the paint landing in the airbrush cup, isn't it?

One small tipp: water plus sunlight shining through plus caves make some nice rippling sunlight effects on the cave walls. So maybe give those caves a blueish greenish tint next time? As always: stunning work!

[@JeffreyRufino]

looks amazing Luke, well done.

[@figrollin]

So nice of you to give Kathy a call out! What a great modeler she is! I'm also a fan of Marklin of Sweden - perhaps he could get the same treatment! In fact, he just recently did some sea spray with some aquarium filter which is a product that I think surpasses the pillow policy fibre!
