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

[@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

[@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 😄

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.

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 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.

[@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

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

[@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. :)

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

[@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!

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.

[@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... :)

great choice on changing the black. Plus it shows us complete amateurs that even the pros can step back, assess, and change as needed.

Luke, you just keep coming up with fantastic new scenes and techniques to model them. Thanks again for sharing. 👍👍

[@Emerson-Biggins]

Luke love your stuff. I don't do models but love just watching your videos and the dioramas come to life. I was wondering if you could do one like this one but show and oil derek and the pipeline go underground to a resevoir.

[@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

[@user-zj7ly4jn7k]

[@karenreardon1372]

Hi. I absolutely love your videos. They have made me want to start building my own! Just a suggested theme, have you ever considered creating a diorama that includes a forced perspective? I’m currently trying to build a model that will have 4mm static grass and 100mm tree at the base of a mountain contrasted with fine ground cover and 25mm trees at the top of the mountain to give the illusion of height and distance. I would absolutely love to see a professional use all the tools and tricks of both a model railroading and diorama specialist. Anyway, I love to watch you recreate hyper realistic scenery. Thank you for your art.

[@indianwarrior2962]

Finally! Luke remembers he has a youtube channel .

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Those caves look great! Though I've seen some videos of awful caving accidents here on youtube, so you get a different perspective.

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

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?

[@jovishark]

im going back and watching the whole video catalogue to calm me down at night, and this one really got my attention. what a gorgeous cave. what a great way to excise the danger of spelunking! theres nothing scarier to me than a deep underwater cave, but the way you captured them here makes them seem so much more mystical and beautiful. youre a wonder with that resin!

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.

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

[@Kellermits]

I don't know why, but there's something I thought everytime I've watched a video of yours in the past years. You always make the soil so light and clean and most of the structures very clean except the occasional rust-specks. For me it's always missing some grittyness and dirt as if everything needs to be weathered a bit. Is that just the australian look? I love the videos though, great as always! I'd wish for a very urban, inner city, housefront with a street or something!
