How to build an Ultra Realistic River - Realistic Scenery Vol.13

[@SomeGuy-yl1bx]

This is what KZbin is about. Just a guy passionate about what he does. He uses a toy truck for the tracks, real dirt, twigs, leaves, and grass. The amount of love he puts into each diorama is absolutely incredible.

[@WiihawkPL]

my man, youtube's about breaking plates and disrespecting entire cultures in your daily vlog to then point out the few good things you've done in a diss track in hopes of the entire platform either forgiving you or forgetting about it in the other bullshit you've done since then. nevermind it's about fighting other youtubers while making everyone pay to even watch the fight

[@kirannarayanan1224]

Hi, I have a suggestion. You should refer paintings of great painters like Vincent Van Gogh and should try to create those paintings through your art work since you excel in it. Few examples you can work on are Vincent van Gogh's 01. The Red Vineyard (1888) 02. The Sower (1888) 03. View of Arles, Flowering Orchards (1889) 04. Painter on the Road to Tarascon (1888) 05. Starry Night Over the Rhone (1888). Btwn love watching your videos.

Smugglers Cove model scenery layout by Geoff Nott Mike Flack has some of the model best water I have seen. The river craft are also totally top notch. The trick with the 2 part resins is to go a step above in the source chain for a better deal. That stuff is deadly expensive at the best of times. There is another single part silicon way to do water thats very cheap. A sort of Hillbilly Bunnings method.
