Build An Awesome Oil Pump… (That Actually Works!) - Realistic Scenery Vol.28

“The kit came with some screws which I lost” is the most relatable thing I’ve heard in one of these videos in a while. I’ve lost so so many…

[@Varangian_af_Scaniae]

I have not lost my screws but a few of them are loose.

[@kenc2257]

@@Varangian_af_Scaniae I've lost some marbles (or so I've heard...).

[@jonathanhinchliffe672]

I love the ant walking past at 4:10 thinking "wow! Look at that normal sized oil pump!"

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Lovely job, as usual. I like the fact that you own your mistakes and after-thoughts, however small or easily remedied they are. It's something I've learned to do, too, because I feel it's important to be authentic - for myself as much as for the sake of the viewer. It's interesting to see how mistakes are remedied. Your models always end up looking wonderful, and the authentic tale of how it came into being is more informative and engaging. Cheers for another great video.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks so much Merrick, it’s definitely tempting to cut out the mistakes because it doesn’t seem necessary for the video but in reality it’s one of the most important pieces of information for someone wanting to follow along. I’m so happy that you still enjoy watching, and likewise I always enjoy seeing you post tutorials, you diorama bases video was superb! I’m gonna have to check out the scenic materials from Diorama Presepe 😉

[@iris657]

@@BoulderCreekRailroad although i dont have the patience to ever build one of these myself, and just enjoy seeing what you create, i have to agree about the mistakes. not just to help anyone following along if they encounter similar problems, but also it makes the entire process seem less daunting. makes it seem less like something youve whipped up in a flash to amazing results, and more like something that you too can achieve if you accept there will be missteps along the way.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

@@BoulderCreekRailroad cheers. That video wasn't going to be released (I don't know why), but I always seem to run late with my major projects. I'm a busy guy!

[@BoomerKeith1]

"It's interesting to see how mistakes are remedied" Absolutely! And it helps the viewers that are working on projects so much!

[@Hello_Betty]

@@BoulderCreekRailroad we need a blooper video, please 😅

Luke must be the most qualified person to attach Lego stickers to pieces.

[@adamfam7183]

This guy is more than that

[@poepiebuitendijk3988]

Is this a kind remark or sarcasm?

[@adamfam7183]

No this is me bowing down to my god

[@adamk4662]

Great to see an Australian model maker, so many times you see US or UK moddlers talk about stuff we cant get. Bunnings and Officeworks rule!!!!

[@antraxxslingshots]

I am always surprised to see so many german products on his table. Is that especially in Australia or are those accessible all around the world?

[@XxBloggs]

Of course they’re accessible around the world. Pity Bunnings and Officeworks are literally twice the price of the same product in the rest of the world.

[@leonkernan]

When you can get there.. I haven't seen the inside of a Bunnings or Officeworks in many months!

[@internetapocalypse4885]

​@@leonkernan I walk into Bunnings with a copy of the Federal Biosecurity Act 2015 and the Privacy Act 1988 section 94H, part2(c) and I haven't had a problem- if they let Tradies into the store they have to let you in. Officeworks is Click and Collect only at the moment.

[@BoomerKeith1]

US, UK, Australia....Luke is the best of the best.

[@sammy_dog]

the Bob Ross of modeling has done it again Luke never disappoints with his master classes

[@lootwijk]

Gonna have to go ahead and agree with you there. This is lovely stuff.

[@majestycle9148]

Why have you got a nazi pin as your pfp and why has no one questioned this and also as much as I like Luke bob ross is so far ahead there really is no comparison

[@sammy_dog]

@@majestycle9148 in answer to your first question its none of your business and your second question of course there is no comparison they do completly different things Bob paints masterpieces while Luke builds masterpieces THAT is the comparison they are both masters of what they do

[@Mike__B]

WOW! You were not kidding when you said the backdrop blends in with the model. There is such a seamless transition, it's absolutely wonderful.

[@pkilznah5353]

The Bob Ross of modeling making. Makes it look so easy! 😀😂✊🚂💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JesseKraal]

am I the only one getting instant goose bumps when he is scraping the pastel with a knive?

[@Chrischi4598]

Maybe as an idea for another project. I would love to see something like a golf course. You could have fun with the different Gras types. Have some sand / dirt in a bunker and a water element. I really could imagine you making something incredible out of that idea!

[@EricClaptonwastaken]

I built a golf course on my model railroad and it was really fun especially liked making the bunkers. Would love to see what he could do

[@geronimosrifle2913]

You just made me home sick for Odessa Texas. What an awesome scene!! Thanks for another great viddy, LT. Cheers, young sir. 👍👍

[@francispanerio7712]

I do hope that someday all of the dioramas can be incorporated into one big miniature landscape. It would look awesome!

[@rolandb8595]

I think you're the only one I follow and immediately hit like even before the video starts

[@blue1der3r]

Same man, same!

[@valborchardt3596]

Hello again from South Africa. What a fabulous model Luke….hope you and yours are well and safe. Take care

[@bradleymcwilliams6348]

Love it, used the term "polished rod" when talking about the nut to hold things tight! Couple of details could be fine tuned, but overall looks great!

[@rong1924]

"That Actually Works!" I wanted to see it pump some oil. Seriously though, fun build. I like the shadow box for a different look to the project.

[@scottkoteras9716]

Only two words. SUCH TALENT

[@tamasmihaly1]

What a fantastic world you create.

[@pgadeb]

Another gem of a diorama - Wow! I'd love to see you do a motorized horizontal swing bridge next!.

[@AllanGildea]

Talented, much? Fantastic job, Luke, congratulations.

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

You built it wonderfully again and explained it great. Thanks very much. Greetings Tino

[@esinohio]

Am I the only one who just gets mesmerized by this man's work? I can't help feel like a big kid when I'm blissfully engrossed in all this.

[@Zx2Nick]

Am I the only one that automatically gives his videos a thumbs up before ever even watching it? Because I have that much faith that it'll be that good.

[@kotygoroschkostudios8326]

I was searching for this comment🤣 I also like the video immediately.

[@aussiebigbangers]

Unreal mate .nothing you can not do .even print the stuff up to build it . Very clever

[@Hello_Betty]

Immidiately clicked like before the intro was done. You just know, you're in for a quality video ❣🤓

[@RailroadScannerMan15]

You’re an exceptional modeler. This is great! Thanks for that, well kept and professional modeling!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Your eye for detail, your ability to pull back when weathering, your flat out talent is so much fun to watch. Thanks, Mate for this enjoyable build.

[@enginediy]

Great building and oil pump, wonderful 👍👍

[@michaelimpey1407]

Luke, Another great video. Thank you for sharing. Keep safe. Michael

What an inspiration I hope diorama making never dies

[@donaldlembo1263]

Thank you. I look forward to each of your videos.

[@philmissy1]

Glad to see even the man himself does f..k up from time to time. haha Happy father's day

[@OnlyAnairaGirl]

I wouldn't mind 3 hours of you putting the model together, it's very relaxing watching

[@daisymccamish]

I have often hoped he would maybe do a model live stream series. It would be fascinating!

[@RFC-3514]

He probably put the model together in 30 minutes. The remaining 2.5 hours were mostly spent doing spray can flips.

[@potatopotatow]

Yea this is my go to pre-bedtime channel.

[@kylenegould5420]

That's really amazing I grew up in Texas surrounded by them....

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

I remember seeing tons of these on our trip through Texas when I was little. If I remember correctly,some were painted like animals. I think I am going to get one of these. Stay safe 🌲

[@FractalGirlCourtney]

You probably passed through Luling. So much of my youth was spent on day-trips through Texas, away from the cities, and these were a very common sight. :)

[@jrkorman]

Which is why I know his are way to clean. Good techniques on taking a model up a notch!

[@stewshore5508]

Love your creativity. Your description and instructions are very clear. Thanks.

[@woodstoney]

Your attention to detail and level of technical expertise is simply amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@HOLYCOWofthesea]

I always forget to look for the hidden things in your video because I get so dang captivated in your building process! (although I did notice the little ant at 4:07!)

[@dealneil4982]

This is probably my favourite project of yours yet! Even though it's small, I think it's really charming.

[@evertzander6924]

My god...its just get better and better. Well done. 🙂👏👍

[@vegassims7]

Luke is so friggin amazing.

[@DansoyCook]

Your talent is amazing I have watched many of your episodes

[@robertrosson5476]

Beautiful build.Really liked how the back drop is used and colored matched to blend into the scenery excellent job.Thanks for sharing

[@TheKlabim]

This gives me joy.

[@user-ef4gf7rr9r]

Thought for removeability of the base from the backdrop without gluing: You could embed magnets into the foam and then simply place other magnets over the corresponding locations beneath the wooden base. When you want to remove the foam, just remove the magnets from the wood. Just a thought.

[@valentinvaldezb.8140]

an excellent diorama, I'm going to put it as homework for my students. Your work is incredible

[@GamingMuchTerry]

This is one of my favourites, Luke. Really impressive and you're right, the backdrop does blend in perfectly.

[@fasalalbana4913]

Amazing tutorial Luke, well done and thank you for sharing 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@janvannoort1120]

It is cool to see that you are still exploring new techniques and methodes to make your dioramas even better

Thanks mate 😎

[@raymondrion6712]

Great video,The pump Jack looks fantastic,love your modeling,great job.

[@sattambiswas2451]

0:35 to 0:45, spinning the box causes contents to come out automatically. Luke's magical powers are now seriously getting out of hand. Jokes apart, superb video like always Luke.

[@jessica14355]

My husband and I recently drove across a lot of the US from Arkansas to Washington state. Several times along the way we said "This scenery looks like a Luke Towan model!" We saw some oil pumps on that trip too, and you really nailed how they look. Great job!

[@penpaper3347]

So much detailing. Love your all work.

[@SkillfulSinner]

trust me, i think i speak for a lot of people when i say we could sit here and watch you cut and glue pieces together for 3 hours. your videos are so relaxing!!

[@philRminiatures]

Creative and wonderful job once again...Sooooooooo inspiring! 👍👍👍😍😍

[@thescrapline4905]

Something different. Superb as always 👌

[@colossalbigfoot256]

So many of your videos have real life moving about. I can remember at least 4 vids with little bugs in them. There was an ant in this one. Cool build

[@DHDSCALEMODELS]

Great work as allways luke👍

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks, glad you like it 😉

[@alexandranevin2005]

Such amazing work yet again Luke 🤩🙌

[@sitearm]

I kept thinking, "cool what an interesting new modeling technique..." then you pull in another... then another... then another... then, well ANYway, if I drank a sip of water for each time you did that here, I'd be in the loo forever *grins* ty for posting!

[@truenorth3077]

I love it! Very authentic looking.

[@naturelart1675]

You the best Luke ,👍😉

[@elkhorn360]

Never get bored looking at you making these things, Thanks from Sri Lanka

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

Nice project, Luke. I have a couple of the pre-powered Walthers oil pumps in N scale from several years ago, but they were always really herky-jerky. I guess I now have a better idea how to disassemble and fix them. 👍🏼

[@NativeNortherner94]

Have been watching you for years and I'm absolutely fascinated by your talent! My nana used to work for Humbrol in Hull for many years until a huge fire wiped the original factory out. I'm from Hull originally myself. I love the fact that you're using that brand within your models! 🙉😊

[@LawAndBedlum]

Utterly brilliant work. Keep it up

[@garvi42]

You could probably open your own public attraction with all these models. I used to go to this train museum that had model trains running all around the building between exhibits. It was awesome. There's something about seeing quality models that's always satisfying, regardless of age.

[@bigwoz78]

Another outstanding diorama, well done

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thank you so much 😀

[@wynorawishum5860]

Wonderful job. You are always amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Wow I must say you have really gone above an beyond the simple plastic kit and really made it somthing quite special and amazing. And motorising it too wow very realistic well done Luke on another great build.- Nicholas.

[@LaserGadgets]

A static pump would glue me to the screen already!!!

[@mapit07]

Greatly enjoyed your tutorial Luke!

[@benjaminplays3696]

You should make an urban diorama with building, parks, shops, and maybe a skyscraper!

[@janvannoort1120]

You are like a Vincent van Gogh of the dioramas

[@Qermaq]

Nice. One thing I'd change - make the background curve in the corners, say a 3cm radius or so. This way there's no seam.

[@deputy630]

Absolutely unbelievable. This guy is an artist not a model builder!!

[@stealthfighter2923]

As a Texan born and bred, I have seen many, many pump jacks. This looks amazing. Nice job.

[@archionblu]

I love how you show us and admit when you mess up and tell us how you problem solve it! I've always been a bit of a perfectionist and get too tied up in "what if I mess up and it's not perfect?" to even get started, but watching your videos has made me less afraid to just try and if it needs fixing, that's not the end of the world! I just ask myself, "what would Luke do?"

[@kevinhare3126]

Amazing as always Amen.

[@HansiM]

Waauw... What a great job you did again. I like the ideas you have for landscaping especally whit the moving parts. It gives me a lot of ideas. Thanks for that. Keep goiing on the good job. Greetings from the Netherlands.
