I grew up in eastern Germany (GDR), the IFA W50 was "THE TRUCK" in that communist era. Funny to see you using a model of it in good old Australia. Awesome Diorama!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol yeah, to be honest when I started building it I didn't know much about it but since then I have learnt that this truck has quite a history, and it's robust! They are still driving around 😃

Hi, ich komme auch aus der ehemaligen DDR (GDR) und kenne die W50 noch, die waren unsere Standard Laster. Super, dass du solch einen Laster für deine Arbeit nutzt. Vielen Dank aus Deutschland für deine super Arbeiten. 👍🏻 Sorry, aber leider kann ich kein Englisch. 😞

Surprisingly they combined the cabin of a W50 with the load of its successor the L60 ^^ I've never seen a W50 driving around with tarpaulin over beveled supports - but the official presentation model of the IFA L60 from the Leipzig Fair showed those beveled supports . Needless to say that the differences for the drivers cabin are quite small and the biggest difference was a new enhanced diesel engine

[@rohsek7298]

[@Adi031978]

Another inspiring model you created here. And combining it with an obstacle course is, in my mind, borderline genius. Did you film the opening sequenze outside? The foliage seemed to move a lot. Where the forklift segments stop motion or is he powered as well? The first looked like it is powered, the second appearnce hinted at stop motion 😳 And a big thank you to you and the wife (?) for going the extra mile, making the sponsored segment more engaging and humourus

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Martin, yeah it was filmed outside and it was a tad windy 😃 the wind was coming in waves and I did my best to film each time the wind died down but those trees are tiny and the slightest bit of wind looks like gale force wind! The fork lift was stop motion, it would be cool to make it powered but there isn't much space in those forklifts! Also thanks for appreciating the sponsored segment, I know most people don't like them so I tried to make it a little entertaining to watch 😃

[@Adi031978]

[@joecarpino]

“Bottle fli.... uh eh SOLID BASE”😂 Love this build!!

[@bill392]

I didn't know how fascinating this was until I watched it all the way through. I can't believe how much I learned. I had some ideas along the way. For example, depending on the scene, building in some general purpose wiring could be used to add street lights, illuminated signs and buildings, a motorized raising-bridge, a working windmill, lights through a tunnel, etc. Another idea with respect to the river, you could add stuff like little fish (install them on little pins and they'll keep their depth while pouring the resin), old tires, or a lost shopping cart or barrel, an abandoned submerged car, a little boat at a dock, etc. Using a small pump, I suppose one could even create a real running river, maybe even with a small waterfall or working paddlewheel. Wouldn't it also be very fun to add a tiny wifi video camera to the vehicle and to record that while driving from the vehicle's perspective. Put up a green screen behind it and you could add a real sky to the video. Turn on the vehicle headlights and the lights on the scenery and go for a night drive.

You know what you should do? A photographers wet dream. Overcast cityscape at night, with rain puddles on the roads. You know exactly the type of image im talking about. You make amazing dioramas of country environments and landscapes, but almost nothing cityscape. Skyscrapers and overpasses are a bit hard. But a long form video doing an extra cluttered picturesque cityscape would be beautiful.

[@MidIslandCustomDiecast]

Dude, you are ridiculous, and amazing. I've been watching you, Luke (APS) and Neil (Real Terrain Hobbies) so much lately as I gear up to do some dioramas for my 1/64 scale customs. I hope I can create even a facsimile of what you guys do!

[@vytenisradzivanas5622]

The best takeaway from this video is that it shows Luke using some different methods of doing his usual project steps - painting river bed with brushes, static grass with spray adhesive, etc.. to achieve similar effects. This is the sort of project you can do to practice or trial various techniques before trying it on a bigger build - especially if it will be a "best to get it right the first time" situation. Luke - As you have now revealed you are a pilot, how about an outback airport scene for your next build?
