wow thanks for the amazing compliment Kris 😀

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thank you, glad you appreciate these. It is hard work and enjoyable.

[@HarryPorpise]

Yes

[@rvnmedic1968]

Yes indeed. I just did a cutout in my Styrofoam board for a lazy creek or small river. Will (try!) to get Luke's results as I've never done any scenery before. Studying real scenery and watching these MRR channels are a great way to overcome lack of imagination.

@@BanHelsing But not in 3D. ;D

I thought the exact same thing. Bob Ross but working in all 3 dimensions. And also Australian. It probably doesn’t matter if you care about model railroads or modeling of any kind. Who doesn’t enjoy watching a world being created.

[@lizardbreathbiz988]

I like to watch these when my anxiety is really bad. Theyre just so calming and theres so much detail to focus on.

[@ahmetavcil]

I use these videos to ease my anxiety and migraine pain also

After i killed my first victim i also came here to relax...

[@TiqleMiBawlz]

I like to watch these videos whilst I eat a baby

[@AshlieJermaine]

Elizabeth Gramm I watched Bob Ross videos every night for over a month for that same reason.... then I started painting because of the videos. But yes, listening to Bob Ross talk and watching him create was quite soothing to my anxiety. And now I have this as well.

[@damitcam]

If you find it calming to watch i highly recommend trying it for yourself as it helps me to force out my daily stress and anxiety!

KZbin NEVER get their recommendations right. My curiosity got the better of me with this video. Next thing i knew its 27 minutes later. I was transfixed from the start and utterly mesmerized throughout. Fantastic stuff.

[@lordfuzzyhat592]

These videos are very relaxing to watch! You have an almost bob ross feel to your videos haha. But I just wanted to say it is crazy the amount of work you put into these, and it definitely shows in your video quality! I especially enjoy the little things like the creative places you will put the list of materials you were currently using! Keep up the fantastic work! P.S. a series on a large project like a train display would be amazing!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks so much for the fantastic comment 😀 I'm in the process of building a larger model train layout, I'm still working on the track layout but I'll definitely do videos on it once I start doing some proper work on the layout.

You truly are the Bob Ross of landscape... watching this was like watching one of his episodes. Amazingly detailed work, I'd call that a master level diorama.

How can anyone in this big wide world dislike this guy´s video? The skills and the details are way beyond explanation...

[@emilytipton3781]

I have never in my life made a diorama but I love your videos. There is something so soothing about how clean and precise you are. I'm always amazed at how real this all looks.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Emily, its funny sometimes I have no idea how it will turn out but they usually look good. Glad you liked it 😀

[@Miniac]

This is such an excellent video displaying so many useful techniques and with such a high production value. As a miniature painter myself, I will definitely be sharing this with my mini community and also employing some of these techniques on my next display base.

[@quqn]

Found your channel today and realized that almost 5 hours later i was still watching your videos, keep up the great work!

[@jeremygard]

Luke, you are truly a modelling Jedi and the force is strong with you. I've watched this video about 37 times now, and all your others of course, and have been applying the techniques on my own build - first time doing a river scene. Just wanted to say thank you for putting this together. Really love your work and the way you put your videos together. So clear and easy to follow. Will get on over to Patreon soon. Will send you a photo of my finished project, would appreciate your feedback. Thanks again mate!

I do Terrariums and small miniature rooms and I can incorporate some of his details in my projects. I do not want to leave this video I need to get going. The soft music and his voice is very relaxing unlike some others I have watched. Thank you Luke

[@oddities-whatnot]

Like many others commenting on here, I dont make models but its fascinating to see an expert make them. Very pleasant KZbin viewing.

[@killman51]

What do you do with all these dioramas? You've got to have a big collection by now! Also, do you have any larger layouts? I know the dioramas are great for youtube episodes, but it would be cool to see a series based on a big train layout!

[@TM-gm6zk]

I totally agree,though he said he was making a layout in his first couple of videos.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

yeah the layout is still a work in progress, these dioramas basically just sit on the shelf and after a while some of them may get dismantled to build new dioramas. I'll do some more videos on my actual train layout later on when I start doing some more work on it.

[@stupidstufwtmyfriend]

Well whatever you do, keep making videos! It's fantastic to see what you can make and get tips for my own layout. ...whenever I get around to having that kind of time and disposable income.

[@Quibshire]

Man, everything on this channel is so cool! I usually paint and draw but have wanted to dabble in something 3D that wasn't just glued together painted planks. I had no idea what I wanted to try but you make realistic scenic models look so much easier than I would have thought. While I know it takes a lot of work and planning, I think I now have some projects to strive for!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

wow thanks for such a fantastic comment! I'm glad I've been able to give you a bit of inspiration and I wish you heaps of luck when you start building your own 3D scenes! It's very rewarding when you finish and have a great looking model 😉

[@Quibshire]

I've spent the last three days all over the internet for materials and inspiration for what I might want to make, the idea is exciting and has me pumped! Thanks for the comment back, I'll definitely be absorbing your content for the months to come :)

[@laredawg99]

TIP: I've sometimes used a guy with a fishing pole in my dioramas. However, from an HO scale perspective the fishing line in this case would be just about invisible. For this I tried using the finest human hair I could possibly find (which looked more convincing), but even then I wasn't satisfied. In the end I decided to leave it off entirely. Regardless, keep wowing us all with your incredible techniques and videos. Can't get enough!

Just how a blank white surface gets turned into such detailed rock faces astounds me!

[@mikem8145]

I was looking for a tutorial on how to make water for my slot car track scenery. When I saw the length of this video, 27 minutes, I told myself nah I'll skip right to the water tutorial part. I ended up watching the whole 27 minutes of the video! Wow it was very interesting watching this guy works, so many steps, so many details, for a wonderful result.

[@eliasramos8670]

He puts them in his secret bunker, that is camouflaged with static grass and fake bushes. It will never be found because of the realistic scenery.

I have now binge watched about 20 videos (when i get the chance) in just a few days and have decided (via your help that you always give on products) to go buy enough stuff for my first SMALL trial of a pond with fisherman, maybe 12' X 12" thank yoso much for what you do and recording it, so peaceful and relaxing to watch.

Hi Luke, This is a great video and your river technique, I wish to employ in my viaduct (video to follow). My question is, having painted the river bed onto a plywood base, can I apply the Envirotex Lite, straight onto the acrylic paint. I’m worried that it could lift etc. Regards Charlie

[@billroot2692]

Just used enviortec on my first ever river diorama on a foam core base with no additional sealer, then painted with light coats of acrylic and some sponged accent colors. Not a single bubble......Not sure acrylic paint would adequately seal the wood. Mix a small amount of enviortec and apply it to a small area to see. Follow the instructions explicitly ! re: exact equal amounts of resin and hardner, and mixing times. Great stuff....

[@adamanderson3042]

Whenever I'm 40 with kids I'll probably do this to completely remake the entirety of the maps in my favourite video games, assuming my favourites remain the same which is quite unlikely.

Have you thought of having your dioramas connect together to form a larger layout? Maybe do another diorama that connects to this one. It can have a waterfall, or a hydropower dam, or anything else associated with rivers.
