Create an AMAZING Diorama with Moving Cars & Bicycles - Realistic Scenery Vol.30

Having trouble finding Wally? You'll find the answers here: www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/find-me-challenge.html 😃 A friend of mine who has opened a new store selling Scale Modellers Supply paints and accessories, If you’re in Australia and have a project and you need some fresh paint be sure to check out his store. www.manscalemodels.com.au/

[@thegalaticnegotiator5382]

I wonder if he has ever watched the classic thomas and friends

[@rtwpsom2]

I've got 5 of the 6 Wally's: 8:06, 20:05, 23:14, 24:33, and 24:54. I rewatched three times and just can't find that sixth.

[@TheBluemindedGod]

@@rtwpsom2 I can't believe you found the ones you did. It took me a long time to find 24:33 even with your help. I still can't find 24:54. All I can find is that weird bear looking thing in the background. I'd never find most of these, unless I went frame by frame through the video.

[@TheBluemindedGod]

I looked at the answers and 24:54 is absurd. That must be the "particularly difficult" one he mentioned.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Mind-boggling. Not only the model, but your video production. Always impressive; never overdone.

[@alexmccurter2885]

Coming from High Eye, that's saying a lot. Well earned praise.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks so much Merrick, I did spend quite some time editing so it's great to see you appreciated it 😊 Sometimes I find myself spending literally an hour doing something that only 1% of people will actually notice.... but I keep doing it anyway for those 1% of people who do actually notice 😄 P.S. I loved your diorama in a box! It was a work of art 🎨🖼

[@Raid3rFox]

At the start I was wondering when he'd stop showing the scenery outside, then I realized that was actually the diorama. Absolutely incredible.

[@andyrob3259]

He has to be one of the best diorama modellers I’ve seen (at least on KZbin) and so young as well.

[@starcluster2593]

[@AbsalomIndustries]

The use of sunlight on the models really sells the effect a lot more than indoor lighting ever could.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

If you had an Ott light, it also works great to imitate daylight. Also lights a mini scene well when working on it.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

I'm going to have to take a look at this wall add-on for Blender! Great tutorial and stunning final result. You're a massive inspiration to us all my good man. :)

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks so much Neil, it's called wall factory and is built into blender, just need to be turned on in settings. Here's a link to a video that explains it quite well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKOYZ4WMn5uSocU

@@BoulderCreekRailroad Thank you for sharing! I searched on my own and started down the path of using distortion and textures (which looks to be only good for rendering).

I am so focused on the video, I have NEVER ever found any Wally!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol... yeah the first time a watched the video through to check the Wally locations I missed most of them because I started watching myself building the model... I had to go back a couple of times. Plus there are a couple of spots that are quite challenging to see 👀

Absolutely fascinating. I rarely watch videos this long in their entirety, but I made an exception for this one. I truly admire your knowledge and ability. New subscriber here and a big thumbs up from Austin Texas.

[@skyty0]

Hey Luke! I made a project similar to this but the little guy on the bike fell off and started walking around my apartment. He's very small and I can't find him. Sometimes I catch glimpses of him in the corners but he scurries away as soon as he notices me. Is this normal? Please help.

[@larayaglsd]

AH NAH JIT HE GAINED CONSCIOUSNESS

[@mosheep]

This looks so good. Plus the moving parts and outdoor shots really adds to the realism of it all! As for Wally, I only found him once. I'm always so focused on the build process I keep forgetting there's a mini game here 😂

[@nova3d173]

I didn't find even one Wally probably I was completely attracted by the process of how to make this AMAZING diorama. I'm glad that our Whale2 helped in the process of making the railway bridge. This realistic scenery is so good.

[@tombrennan9452]

There's nothing more satisfying then coming home after a hard day at work to see that Luke has uploaded another video :D

[@rhyswoodman6781]

Each time I think "his modeling cannot get better" you prove me wrong. Astounding, sir.

[@boodledemic6430]

Even though I may not craft dioramas, I’ve learned a lot of general crafting tips from your videos :) maybe someday I’ll do a diorama

[@TheSmitj167]

Your new way of applying grass using the matts......genius!!! As always you are an inspiration and true artist.

[@aydoyt]

Finally! Absolutely outstanding work Luke! You never cease to amaze me with the amount of effort you put into these dioramas and the small little details you can't help but add

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

[@Tomcat_Coyote]

What's funny is that , when you reach such an impressive level of realism , the thing(s) that give it away are usually the vehicles . In this case the train / tram has no weathering and looks way too clean to be realistic . Awesome job , i love it !! :D

[@PugnaciousProductions]

Maybe the engineer is a germaphobe, lol

[@railtrolley]

Train. It's one of the driver/power cars of the 6 car EMU set introduced to the Melbourne suburban network in the 1970's. Known as the Hitachi train. When introduced, they were to replace the Tait train sets, which dated from when the Melbourne suburban network was electrified in 1918, and the Harris trains from 1960's. Hitachis remained in service into the early 2010's, and some retired units were re-activated to cover shortages of newer train sets, and increasing passenger numbers.

[@Joliie]

The wow factor has grown over the years, not sure if you can top it with the next one, but you do. wauw.

[@timabraham3693]

Hi Luke, another brilliant diorama! The magnet rails really are the cherry on top. You probably get these suggestions a lot and I know it's out of your comfort zone, but I would love to see a jungle diorama, perhaps with an overgrown temple or an abandoned camp! It would be a great opportunity to test out different foliage types and to try out something completely different from your other dioramas mostly based on the Australian countryside. However, it's only a suggestion. Keep up the great work you're doing!

[@User0000000000000004]

All (most?) of your models seem to be set in areas that look like Australia. Do you think in the future you could make a model set in a foreign land, perhaps Japan? I think it would be really fun to see you use various models or 3D prints of objects you'd only find in Japan like street signs, houses, stations, cars, and most importantly some of those single diesel locomotives they have that run on single rail lines in the countryside. The possibilities are limitless and I think you'd enjoy building it as much as I'd enjoy watching it.
