This River in Four Seasons is something I've wanted to make for a long time.
People are forever asking me to make a snow diorama or a winter diorama or an autumn diorama, so I thought, 'Why not do it all in one river diorama?'
I'm happy with how it turned out - especially the water effects - though I would make some improvements to the epoxy resin water effects next time.
Overall, I think this is an awesome model river and I hope you enjoy watching it come into being!
Music (main theme): Riot by Pressure (KZbin Audio Library)

ha ha 😃 we both uploaded at the same time! How funny is that 😎 Great minds think alike! Awesome video, I really struggle at modelling different seasons, I'll learn a lot from this video 👍

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks Luke. Appreciate it! I was just uploading when your notification popped up.

[@Violaetor]

...and I just got here from your stonehenge video.

[@imbuddhika]

Two of my favorite diorama makers.

[@hammersmashedspud4345]

two fantastic craftsmen

[@fizzylizard2834]

My second favorite! First is your Barrels Of Bond. The trees are really pretty, they look so realistic! I want to just shrink and stay there forever.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Ah, thanks! I liked that Barrels Out Of Bond diorama, too.

[@fizzylizard2834]

Just rewatched this about ten months later. Still am amazed by this talent. Nice job. Can’t wait to see your next creation!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Great concept on this one! All seasons turned out amazingly well :)

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks very much. It was fun. I just wish I had more room to make big things! Like your Shire (which was awesome, by the way).

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

@@HighEyeWorkshop Thanks man. :) And yeaaahhhh. I'm quickly moving out of space myself lol. Especially now that that Shire board is done. Going to be moving onto some smaller stuff again but I think I might look at renting out a storage unit pretty soon here. Big or small though, your work is stunning and I think these pieces are the perfect size to showcase that. :)

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Ah, thanks a lot. I haven't been able to commit the time I'd like to my channel and my projects over the last year, so engagement is suffering. But I've had to prioritise my mental health and hopefully I'll have chance to move things forward a bit now. Appreciate your kind words. Really good to see how your channel has grown. Well-deserved.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Sorry, deleted the last comment. Wife said it was a little much for something public which I hadn’t considered. Anyway, wish you nothing but the best.

[@SpiderMan_2099]

Woooooow. I absolutely love this one. This is by far the greatest thing I’ve seen on my fyp in a while. The way you made the fall and winter parts of the river was incredible. This video really inspired me to actually try and start making dioramas. I absolutely love your content. Keep on going.❤❤❤

[@imbuddhika]

Ohhh i love it.............. Perfect.

[@bettystein9474]

How absolutely beautiful! One just wants to go there and walk around in that enchanted world.

[@andrewchapman2024]

Beautiful man, simply beautiful!

[@Myckelin]

Very good Details! 🍃

[@anitaengelaar5370]

Love your video and your dioramas. I just have a little tip to cut the ends of your resin. I always use a nail file to rip those ends, works great.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Good tip. Thank you! Cuticle scissors would work a treat.

[@avannamedberyl]

Wow, wow and thrice... WOW!

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Cheers Ian 🙂

[@flacson6021]

This video was underrated

[@alinashirinian2485]

This is mindblowingly beautiful and super realistic! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work with us!

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

Absolute brilliant work and idea . The most impressive is still the winter part ! Congratulations

[@skookieplays6319]

Saw your comment on Luke Towans video and I’m so glad I did! Awesome channel. Deifnately going to binge all the videos

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thank you! Luke is a great bloke and a brilliant modeller. His success is so well deserved.

[@grigoristsachouridis335]

[@valborchardt3596]

Absolutely awesome, love it. As always, please take care from South Africa

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks Val. You too 🙂

[@ultramaximusreviews]

Very impressive!

[@thescrapline4905]

Enjoyed that. Something different with stunning results. Top stuff as always. 👍

[@niksam1493]

Лайк! Есть дерево "Времена года", а у Вас река "Времена года"! Хорошо придумано и очень красиво!

[@abbielyna6295]

Wow, the spring and summer scenes were extremely stunning with all that floral foliage. Also as you said, the river effects are amazing - I really enjoyed how you transitioned to the still winter ice (and how you placed all the snow on the rocks there) Lovely video as usual, good luck with your next project and have a wonderful day!

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks Abbie. And thanks for taking the time to respond with such a thoughtful and considered comment 🙂

[@beck645]

I feel like I am watching one gigantic commercial for all these companies materials.

[@Sor9ry426]

Hot damn, this is good~! Looking forward to more winter / autumn scenes : )

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thank you! There may be some.

[@MVeminor7]

Love your work. So amazing. Can’t believe I didn’t see this till now

[@user-qd3lu2sb5v]

SUPER MASTER!

[@KingFluffs]

I find GW's snow stuff has a fluffier and more realistic texture when dried out.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

I like Deluxe Materials because it mimics snow crystals. But there are many other great products.

[@philRminiatures]

Clever, brilliant, and gorgeous! New sub, I'll come back! 👍👍😍

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thank you 😊

[@Condamine123456]

Looks good Merrick keep up the great work and stay safe

[@Forest_Valley]

My god. This is truly amazing. i...... have no words, i mean just look at it ! And by the way, i may have asked this before but did you paint that tom bombadil minature in the riverside garden video.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thank you! Yes, I did.

[@TomJones0065]

This is ONE AMAWZING BUILD, I saved it for future Looking/Learning!! GREAT JOB! Good Timing, I am trying to finish my Very FIRST Diorama hope to one day Post my builds on You Tube!! GREAT INSPIRATION! Thank You!!!

[@dreammaster495]

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Give it a try. I didn't know how to do it when I started 🙂

[@duckcbgaming839]

This is beautiful. What you do is pure art! You have inspired me to start modelling and I am forever grateful of your work. Keep it up and thank you again for these videos. Also, is the fibre mold cheaper than sculpta mold?

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thank you! It's about the same cost.

[@duckcbgaming839]

By the way, it’s really lovely how you try to say thank you to everyone who comments. I know in takes some effort!

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks. It's important to thank people when they've taken the time to write a nice comment 🙂 I can't do it for every comment on older videos, but for new releases I try to respond.

[@MrMajikman1]

Hi Merrick, a quick question for you. Is the mod podge gloss supposed to be a little bit runny out of the bottle, or a medium thickness? The last two bottles I have bought have been quite a bit thicker than yours and Luke's. When I tip my mod podge bottle it barely runs out of the bottle. I wonder if this is just really old mod podge and could be the reason why I keep getting bubbles after spreading it. It is frustrating me profusely! The first bottle I bought was much runnier than the last two bottles I bought, and that one produced the same effect as in your video. Yours looks very easy to spread...mine, not so much😥

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Depends on the ambient temperature. If it's cold here, the glue is thicker.

[@MrMajikman1]

@@HighEyeWorkshop Thank you for the response sir, very much appreciated!

Wow,, another interesting video.. sending my full support..I hope you will visit my diorama project too..thanks
