Luke Towan is the reason I start making dioramas as my hobby

[@MrMajikman1]

Yes, he was my inspiration as well. His other waterfall diorama "Building the Ultimate Waterfall" video inspired me to make an Amazon Rainforest diorama with a set of falls. Still working on it, but it is turning out rather nicely for my very first diorama. Thanks Luke!

[@peterpeeters872]

Same here.

i wish i had the time, money, and patience for this. in the meantime just have to live vicariously through these videos.

[@captnconfusion280]

the waterfall effect is stunning. usually you can easily identify a miniature in closeups, but this one tricks my eye even upon close inspection. it just looks so much like rushing water

[@davidrust3169]

Say, Luke: speaking as the son of a native Oregonian (and someone who's visited Multnomah Falls several times over his life), you did a great job! The first thing I thought when seeing your diorama was "Hey, that looks like Multnomah Falls!". :) Kudos!

[@ashleyapar]

Same I saw the thumbnail and was like “omg is that multnomah falls”

[@TheaterGeek2007]

Same!

Exactly what I said.

Yes! I live in Oregon and was so excited to see it!

[@brianconway4275]

I said the same thing. Great job!

[@LaserGadgets]

Luke Towan + falling water = me :> For leaks, a bit of soft sculpey will do a pretty good job! Or window putty...playdo. Stuff like that.

[@coleorange970]

I love the CFH profile pic, pantera is my favorite band

[@willversiontwo1653]

TFW I open KZbin, see your channel, and realize your diorama is the waterfall within biking distance of my house - loving this!

[@tombuck]

The end result is totally stunning. Crazy how realistic it looks! I also always love seeing all the little tools and weights that are ingeniously used to hold different pieces in place during construction.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Tom, I'm always using tools for some other unintended purpose 😄 it's the most use those little pink weights have ever seen 😆

[@AbrahamLure]

From one Aussie miniaturist to another... It's so nice seeing someone using tools and materials that I know I can find in local hobby stores!! I've been looking to up my environment skills and I'm so pleased I stumbled upon your channel. No fancy UV lights and a bit of pillow fluff? Sign me up

[@alexiaking5241]

I grew up in the Columbia Gorge in Oregon and I knew immediately that this was Multnomah Falls! Great job!! Crazy to think an Australian is doing a diorama of a place I can easily visit. So cool! :)

[@breadcrumbhoarder]

I’ve never seen a poly fiber waterfall that I thought looked realistic until now! You’ve truly mastered your craft!

[@leokimvideo]

I can feel the water spray on my face it's so real

[@junichi6707]

I wasn't expecting you here. I follow your channel love your vids, I understand your pain in YTB

[@AIPTutorials]

When I first started learning photography one of my favorite things to photograph was waterfalls with an insanely high shutter speed. This looks exactly like those photos. My mind is blown by these falls. Like when you see a magic trick that blew your mind, then you were shown how it was done and it was really simple, but even after, it still blows your mind every time.

[@russwaddel08]

As someone who lives on the Washington side of the Columbia River, a few miles up from this place, that bridge is pretty iconic. Thanks! Shout out from Washington state USA!

[@_rlb]

Awesome! I saw the first couple of shots and shouted "Hey, that looks like the place I've vistied, somewhere in Oregon" at my screen. And sure enough those where Multnomah Falls. Pretty cool.

Good choice Luke. Beautiful land along the gorge.

[@Carmarxs22]

I live near the Multnomah Falls and was surprised when you were doing a project based off of it. Hello from Washington State!!

[@RedCaio]

literally the only convincing use of cotton as falling or splashing water I've seen. bravo.

[@Lee01Mr]

This is another masterpiece as always! Would love to see a forest machine operation cutting down trees and transporting them to the sawmill. So many ideas :) Keep them coming Luke!

[@ESC9242]

I don't live far Multnomah Falls. You did a very nice job with your diorama!

[@craigphillips111]

Actually have a poster of Multnomah Falls hanging on my wall in my craft room where I make my dioramas! Too funny. Brilliant work as usual, sir. You actually started my addiction to building these types of dioramas and for that I thank you! Your tutorials are by far the best out there and have taught me pretty much everything I know.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

That's awesome, I'm glad I've been able to give you a bit of inspiration for your modelling 😀

[@craigphillips111]

@@BoulderCreekRailroad An inspiration indeed! And also a great teacher as your tutorials explain perfectly how to achieve amazing results with ease-not to mention having some pretty solid comedy sprinkled in along the way😁As a fan of animated projects (love the mini r/c, oil drill and magnorail builds) I was curious if you've ever considered using running water for a flowing river or stream? It doesn't work well for whitewater or waterfall scenes but looks pretty good in a scene like your Muddy River diorama. There's really not much to adding the water-basically just applying waterproofing (polyurethane for me) straight to the foam and then using it in place of the modge podge in the wet areas when adding the dirt texture, rocks, etc. Lighting is an important part of the finished project to highlight movement of the water but other than that & water reservoir/pump placement there's not too much to it, especially if the water stays on one level of foam. I have a 3-4 minute video on the lighting aspect of it if you'd like to see what the running water looks like. Didn't make the house in video-not quite to that level yet! And certainly nowhere near the level of making great videos either (you've set the bar pretty high on that one!) so in the event that you watch any of the others I've made let me go ahead and apologize for you having to sit through that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ina3op2FnqqdY5I

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Images from my 'backyard'. I live about 2oomi (322km) from Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. Thanks for sharing our beautiful Pacific NorthWest, Luke. This was a gorgeous diorama. You make it look so easy when it's far from it. Cheers Mate.

[@akenedy]

Wow! Cannot tell that the final photos aren't photos of the real thing. Just amazing!

[@nthdesign]

I’ve watched your channel for a little over a year. This summer, I happened to visit Multnomah Falls and stood on that very bridge. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this video thumbnail in my feed!

[@MrKfadrat]

one hint - use blue tuck to hold the sides when you trace with marker. blue tack is great 3rd hand, once its warm its very tacky

[@emilloblivion3158]

GREAT WORK, VERY PROFESSIONAL. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FANTASY DIORAMA....SOMETHING LIKE A DREAM OF YOURS :)

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Beautiful work!! Reminded me of Multnomah falls in Oregon before I even heard that the bridge was modeled off it. I have been there many times. A beautiful place to visit. The parking lot is one of the last places to safely pull over between there and the edge of Portland on the highway along the Columbia gorge. When my husband and I were coming back to Oregon after eloping for a year, we were driving a very beat up old dodge Mirada. He said he had prayed that if the car were to give out, that it be before the falls. Right as we passed the parking lot its carburetor just clogged up and we were able to pull over right near the median. Literally the last possible place to pull over. We had to call my sister in law and get a ride the rest of the way back, and while we waited for her we hiked around the falls. We have been back for many occasions, we brought our first child there when he was a few weeks old and have a picture of him with his aunt who had come to our rescue five years prior to his birth. Many other occasions. We are from the mid Willamette valley. Again, Gorgeous work! I love how much your falls look like the real place although I know you’re really just creating your own place and adding in the bridge. Thanks for bringing back some great memories

[@LocalTreeFort]

I knew it was Multnomah Falls immediately, I'm an Oregonian! Amazing as always, Luke!!

[@Autopoort]

Once again an impressive diorama and a film that is as instructive as it is entertaining. The waterfall looks so realistic, you can almost feel the spray mist on your skin.

[@danielguayaquil09]

Hello Luke, you know, I'm going to start making a race track and I'm looking for inspiration. Thank you very much for your work. It's really incredible and you can see the passion.

[@justayoutuber1906]

I've been on that bridge. Looks good! Most realistic waterfall I have ever seen. Great technique.

[@ashleyapar]

Looks JUST like the actual falls; amazing job

[@sirenwerks]

Wonderful work as usual. Since I live in the Pacific NW (an hour from Multnomah Falls), I would recommend some treefall and pillows of moss in the misted areas and clinging to the concrete bridge, maybe even some basalt columns.

[@johnsavage2850]

What a wonderful master class on waterfalls and terrain modelling, I loved your tip on using hot glue to seal the plastic sheet to make the dam for the river resin and using alcohol to soften it up so that it can be removed afterwards. I will definitely use that in my next diorama. The overall diorama is amazing !! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us.

[@morganpavia7634]

All thats missing are the railroad tracks crossing in the creek a little past the front edge of the diorama like at the real falls. Nice job I knew what your inspiration was before I pressed play as you recreated it so well.
