How-to Build the Ultimate Night Scene - Realistic Scenery Vol.18

[@roganhand6966]

Luke should do an underwater scene, like a ship wreck with scuba divers or a reef or something.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

that is definitely a great idea! It's something I'll definitely be trying... I just need to plan it out.

This is a beautiful comment

[@shannonpincombe8485]

There is great appreciation for the re-using of waste pieces in other areas of this diorama or other dioramas. Something so simple is a good habit for others to follow. I know it may seem twee but little things like this matter. Especially with a hobby such as this where you could easily get into the habit of just chucking out the waste and starting afresh. Your approach is far more sensible and I use it as an example for my young children. They're very artsy and were in the habit of creating loads of waste rather than getting the most out of their supplies. Seeing how often you recycle/reuse and how clean you leave your workspace is a great example for them. Cheers Luke.

Takes dirt from garden ads some thing to make it more realistic

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol... I never thought of it like that!

[@madnessbydesignVria]

I often use small rocks in my scenery, but they don't look 'real' until you paint them. I think it has to do with scale/perspective...

[@BellefromOz]

Lol I was thinking the same thing, but then I realised it's because once you remove all those larger dirt and rock pieces, you also remove some of the other colours, and it looks too dark.

[@TotemoGaijin]

@@BellefromOz I think it has to do with lighting too. Just straight dirt, and you lose some of the natural highlights it has in nature, where mixing it like he does gives it more variation and brings some of that back.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanksmate, to be honest they don't take all that long.If I had to put a time frame I'd probably say about 12 hours but the reason I take so long to make these videos is because the process of filming easily triples the build time and then there is all the brain storming on what angle I'll need the camera at to get the best shot. Sometimes I'll build the model twice getting multiple shots from various angles that all get spliced together in the final video... not to mention I have to juggle all this with my regular day job 😉 too much info.... lol
