Realistic Scenery Volume 3 - Modelling A River - Model Railroad

[@mgodbee]

I am not sure how this ended up in my recommended feed, but man you are amazing to watch. Such precise craftsmanship. Thanks for the videos, truly an artist.

[@vaingloryplayer4001]

grapefizzify Agreed

[@charlesxix]

Me to but I can't stop watching them, absolutely brilliant.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I am glad I found this channel. There is so much stuff on here that was new to me. Although I will likely never build any model stuff.

[@senthilnatarajan536]

Ya......... you're really gud man.......!!!!!!!

[@Yaneko7]

Me too

[@APyromaniac]

Dude when I’m older I will make a model but maybe you should try you’ll never know until you try

[@FSXNOOB]

Ahh dude.. they should give you a TV show, your amazing :)

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, that would be cool :)

[@Myscalegarage]

[@elireloaded]

FSXNOOB シ *you're

[@industrialborn]

Tv is dead...and if it weren't it would have been sensationalist as fuck. i like it better this way, at it's own pace.

[@LdnTings]

Luke Towan How did you learn to craft like this, what subjects did you get into?

[@jagrcantakeyou]

Not sure if you take requests, but I would love love love to see you do a disaster scenario with a bridge collapsing or earth quake with the ground splitting open.

[@26prozentakku14]

jagrcantakeyou I'd like to see this too!

[@slagondrayer447]

He shouldn't, but it would be amazing. That soft tone of his going "and now I use X to simulate the blood spray and guts on the walls and floor. To make the skulls I start with X and add flames with Y."

[@toweypat]

Slagon Drayer haha!

[@ShuhPond]

Volcanic eruption!

[@auroragoth5078]

He has done one with a house on a column of soil that is breaking away from the cliff?

[@lukaskapelkemusic]

I don't even own a diorama or anything, but watching you modelling scenery is oddly satisfying haha.

[@overcookedwater1947]

Lukas Kapelke haha same

[@viper3378]

I have gone back to model railroading after a 43 year drought( real life - LOL). Watching your videos gives me great ideas that I never had as a kid. My sincere thanks !!!!

[@DraperGaming]

The production value is so high on these videos, great work Luke! Your videos are the gold standard of the KZbin model railroad community.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, really glad your enjoying the videos

[@ShowlidSnake]

I knew nothing about making models, this video is amazingly informative and also very soothing, cozy, like Bob Ross.

[@simondanger1203]

Your work makes me feel like I'm watching bob ross

[@Eremon1]

You beat me to the Bob Ross comment! He's like Bob Ross 3D!

[@mestrechuck]

We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents

[@priv8joker]

And Happy little trees!

[@adominguezoscos7302]

Simon Danger same

[@ZicajosProductions]

+Simon Danger GREAT way to put it!!! By the way Bob Ross is on Netflix now if you want to rewatch.

[@Chiefbobaloo]

Luke, I have been doing model railroads since 1959. You bring a whole new learning experience to me and I am sure others. Thank you.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Wow thanks Bob, it's really good to hear that even though you've been in the hobby for so long there is still plenty to learn, I hope I will be loving and learning new tips and tricks from others for as long as you have :) I'm sure you have a wealth of knowledge to share. Cheers Luke

[@neon_veins]

You're like the Bob Ross of scenery building! :)

[@FlyveHest]

Who would have thought that I would spend 20 minutes watching a diorama being built? Very fascinating and a great attention to detail.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, I'm glad you liked watching it :) Cheers Luke

[@MIgardener]

These are so incredible. So satisfying!

[@Jeff-Vader_head_of_catering]

Man, you are my "Mr. Miagi". When life gets too stressful, I play one of your videos, and I'm back to center. I hope you realize the good you're putting into the world. I love your videos. Please keep them coming!

[@Idominusrex]

it is so calming to watch your vids

[@madnessbydesignVria]

To see an artist at work is wonderful, but to have them so clearly describe their process is amazing. Shot and edited well, with good pacing (not rushed, not dragging). Delightful.

[@CarmineRC]

ALL your videos are good and informative... But, that dirt road, for me, was the golden nugget!! It's something I've always wanted to try. Cheers!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Carmine, I wasn't very good at dirt roads but after trying sifted dirt and highlighting with pastel I finally cracked it! Now I use that method for all my dirt roads! I'm glad you continue to enjoy the videos :) Cheers Luke

[@CarmineRC]

Luke Towan - And I will continue!! I never thought I'd be raiding my wife's dresser.... But, nylons actually WORK, as a fine sifter?? :O .... I was going to spend money I couldn't afford, to get some professional sifters. If this works, then stuff that idea!!

[@lb5491]

I don't model myself, but your videos are very entertaining and I can't stop watching them...

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Wow, stunning! The ripple application and texture addition to the sheep was fantastic! Brilliant!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Matthew Snowden Thanks Matthew, towards the end of adding all those ripples I was starting to get a little dizzy! Cheers Luke.

[@matthewsnowdenshunterguy3352]

Haha i can imagine!

[@ralphmilleriii9957]

Don't know why these videos started popping up as recommendations, but they took me to my childhood. I've always enjoyed seeing replica landscape models whenever I visited the museum.

[@TheDobermanTriangleMusic]

loved the bloopers!! your attention to detail is amazing. look, i didn't capitalize.

[@srehan6865]

I'm just big fan of yours Mr. Luke, I'm from Bangladesh. I saw your many realistic scenery clips on KZbin and you're awesome genius. Thank you brother

[@Magiera43]

My girlfriend is admiring your well looked after hands and nails :) good job :) Great miniature and great video :)

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ha ha, I make an effort to have clean hands when filming the videos. I find it distracting when I watch other modeling videos with extreme close ups of dirty hands and nails. Thanks for watching :) Glad you enjoyed the video

[@kjamison5951]

Words fail me to describe the level of patience you have to produce these absolutely stunning artworks. I do bare metal restoration on Matchbox models from the 50's and 60's and it has calmed me right down! There is something very tranquil about your diorama scenes. A little insight into local life. I don't agree with some suggestions that you produce a disaster scene. While I have no doubt it would be the bloodiest, goriest scene possible, I feel that your existing body of work encourages calm and peacefulness in the world. I subscribed some time ago and I enjoy when you release new videos.

[@smeemer1234]

I feel like if I was making this video, my bloopers reel would be less "Accidental Finger Painting" and more "Somehow this Whole Thing Caught on Fire".

[@satoshinakamoto6268]

lol

[@caca-sk8rd]

Under rated comment

[@fbhdqjwjrjgj]

Lol

[@shericompton8298]

I am memorized....I could watch you work all day! Look the bloopers!! Great work!!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Sheri 😊

[@movarr5818]

you are very professional i like these videos because there are some expensive railroad scenery but i know you put a lot of heart into your projects your model railway really inspires me thank you

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks Movarr :) glad you like my tutorials

[@canadiannationalrailroad9201]

you provide the ultimate in detail, explanation and superior modeling in my opinion. I appreciate the level of detail and thorough explanations you provide. no doubt, one of the best indeed. Dan

[@artfx9]

That's crazy! Great work! Thanks youtube for the recommendation

[@ukebox00oftheworld63]

Ohhh how I wish that yourself and KZbin had been around some 40 years ago. Your videos and instruction are really great..We are in awe in Sweden 😊 .

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

KZbin is pretty amazing! It's never been so easy to find out information 😀 Pretty soon nobody will need to go to school anymore, they'll just log onto KZbin!

[@ghostdein1]

thanks for sharing! I'm not into model trains, but I'll be using your tips to make a sci-fi diorama!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Cool, I'm a huge sci-fi fan :) You'll have to post some photos and send a link when you're finished. Cheers Luke

[@mingchanglai2931]

I'm I'm

[@bigjon7143]

Luke Towan There are easier ways to do much of what you do and they look realistic. The difference is, your methods make for WONDERFULLY realistic scenes as opposed to moderately realistic. Just when I thought I knew it all.... good stuff man.

[@TESCOSAINSBURIES]

I enjoy watching without even skipping. It's always engaging to watch, just cool to see the process and how you set things up.

[@SemmyRace]

An idea: would it be too hard to put canoas (or other boats) in the water before the acrylic dries, so they're a little bit sunken, and trace their slipstream? It might be cool to make the same thing with a pole, a dead three or a small pier, imo. Awesome job man, cheers!

[@mundacaa]

Yeah! I was thinking you could also add people in before so it looks like they are swimming, or soldiers crossing a river or something.

[@kukuliic2]

and make the tractor dirty

[@vyjayanthimala5675]

Amazing!!!

[@thewatcher7682]

SemmyRace yes this is easily possible with the right tools and if you were to attempt it I would recommend having a look at woodland scenics specifically

[@declanmorgan6759]

SemmyRace I agree is it

[@MrChaos2peace]

Gosh, I loved miniature train worlds and gazed at them with amazement. But didn;t know this much efforts were needed! You sir are one of a kind.

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture5209]

I love miniature worlds. subbed

[@cwjonesII]

Wow, stunning! Excellent thorough tutorial. Beautiful work. I haven't had a model railroad in decades but your video has pulled me back in. Subscribed!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

😀 Thanks Matthew. I hope you enjoy model railroading.

[@aphexteknol]

I have no interest in model railroading whatsoever, but watching you craft these realistic dioramas is simply captivating. Thanks!

[@BenBradford1]

I'm not into this hobby and probably will never be but I still like to watch because it's amusing. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@THTerra]

What am i doing with my life I love the video :D I'm not interested in modeling at all, but this stuff is really relaxing :D

[@jeffrey3727]

THTerra i totally agree !

[@loopymoomoo1]

I don't know what it is, but watching your videos causes my heart to just go totally ham. You are an absolute artist.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, I hope that's a good thing 😊 Cheers mate

[@victorhillbom2222]

I get the same satisfaction watching your videos as when I watch Bob Ross. how awesome would it be if you recreated one of his paintings and brought it to life??

[@acmulhern]

Your attention to detail is phenomenal.

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

I love your work, you're a real artist ! Did you consider weathering the tractor and trailer ? Although it is feasible Mr.Farmer bought the machine brand new last week. :o) Still, beautiful beautiful work and when you add the natural light it's truly life-like.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, when I was making this model I didn't have any real experience with weathering but in future videos I'll certainly weather the vehicles, especially farm machinery. Cheers Luke

[@alexgriffiths6658]

mate your video's are unreal, your crisp, clear, concise and to the point, your camera focus is top notch and editing is perfecto. I've spent my morning watching your video's and have built myself a wire tree so far!!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks heaps Alex, great job on the wire tree :) Thanks again for such a fantastic comment :) Cheers Luke

[@FIFA2YT]

This is just like the ant channel I watch, I have no intention to do something like this but Im still watching every video! Eventho this channel is a bit more interesting because i had a railroad with my grandpa that just died 2 months ago.

[@rogeravati2518]

What are those? Lol ants canada

[@markmiller3522]

It is hard to find scenery videos that are as detailed as yours and also have such high quality results. You are very talented and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos. Thanks!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Mark Miller Thanks Mark, I have many more tutorials on the way so I hope you continue to enjoy them. Cheers Luke

[@BryanFuryous]

Fantastic job, mate, subscribed. High quality content :)

[@sidoftheid496]

That is amazing. I can't believe the number of clever ideas you came up with in that video and I just love the 'bloopers' section. Thanks again.

[@LaserGadgets]

WIKING is even known in Australia? Wow. They make the good stuff. Since 1931 or so.

[@GoonOnFire]

I have friends that are artists but could never play instruments. For me, instruments just came natural - but I always wanted to be able to do this stuff. I watch these videos in awe... how do you not shake and destroy your little models? The level of detail and talent is just amazing.

[@csongorvarga]

I just found your channel and absolutely love it. Very impressive modelling and professionally made videos. Subscribed for sure!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Csongor Varga Thanks mate, it's always good to get some subscribers to the channel. Glad you liked the video. Cheers Luke.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Grassy_Gaming Cheers Mate

[@retrainrun]

I was blown away by the detail and information you provide on this how to. Is by far the most detail video I've seen from anyone. It looks amazing Luke. Thanks a million for sharing your skills and ideas. Cheers. RT

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+retrainrun Thanks RT, I really enjoy making these types of videos, I love to share the techniques I use. Its good to know a few people are enjoying them. Cheers Luke.

[@ShakeNBake4200]

You're so good at making these little Dioramas, Do you sell them, or possibly even have someone tell you how they want it to look, and then you make it for them, at a reasonable price?

[@ShakeNBake4200]

Also are you from Australia?

[@Shivang4]

yes yes he is...

[@randysaueracker4016]

I am pleased that my wife found your channel. Excellent videos and tutorials. I work in N-Scale however, I am sure that all of your material applies.....

im not even into modelmaking but still i find this an extremely therapeutic video, talented geezer! thanks

[@sadkingbilly]

@@bloomingsmoke64 certainly how you end up in the ER 🤔😆 but I’d often say their name too if they sponsored my hobby for several thousand dollars a year!

[@Brian_Boru]

Brilliant work, Luke. You must have superhuman eyesight and uncannily steady hands.

[@jeredgillafachie9966]

So relaxing and satisfying to watch!!! Do you make custom models for people that order them or anything like that?

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Jered, I just make them for myself at the moment. I might consider later in the future building custom models for people but right now I'm pretty busy with my day job which pays the bills, model making is just a hobby that I enjoy doing in my spare time 😊

[@randomrilezz]

man great videos! I am not a train or model enthusiast but the way you explain and work to complete these amazing dioramas is extremely calming for someone with ocd and anxiety. keep it up!

[@KnightsofRenesmee]

Your sheep look top notch

[@snazzysportstacker]

it's 4 am what the fuck am I doing with my life

[@Cristofre]

I'm 46, haven't had a model railroad since I was 12, been watching these videos and have no idea why.

[@lefthand1324]

JereFroFilms There is no going back now..

[@michealhowk1973]

JereFroFilms because its actually creative and not something stupid it interest out minds and makes us imagine what we would do

[@ptabduction]

Exactly. Makes us wonder and imagine cool stuff, even if we wont make them. I dont even do modeling, why even watch? Its just fun, and knowledge doesnt take space.

[@nowhereman804]

JereFroFilms your not the only one who watches this stuff late/early, we all need to watch artistic productivity at times.......what am I saying I watch this day or night, it's just awsome

[@jefwisse1957]

I discovered this channel to late. Now I have to tare down 99,99% of my model railroad and start all over again. Thanks man.

[@rapturas]

What does adding washing detergent do to glue? Makes it less adhesive? Thanks

[@michaelhornbek2983]

Releases the surface tension so glue will spread out instead of forming drops.

[@Tokatt]

I absolutely love you dude. You are a genius. I real love that you show us how you can do incredible stuff with very cheap materials. Thank you.

[@MrJacobCastro]

Hi. I have a question. So are you building these scenes as additions to a functional model railway or are these just individual decorative pieces? Thanks for the awesome videos! Great work!

[@alexhamilton3850]

Okay, okay, I know this post is over a year old, but they are all just individual set pieces. It’d be hard to mix the Australian outback, a river and a gold mine together.

[@Asmodai00]

Collywobbler Soufflé it’s Australia, aren’t all those right next to each other??

[@kennythemeat]

after 20 minutes of thinking what i want to say...No words, just so amazing!

[@robertosangalli6256]

beautiful !!!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks :)

[@step2191]

I don't know how I got here but I watched the whole thing and it felt like only a minute. Great diorama!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks for the compliment :) I'm glad you enjoyed watching

[@Deleter0011]

hey, maybe you can use sound-frequency to make the water have riffles like in real world. i saw that people make art stuff with it. water or sand on a plate that is on top of a hifi box. then the person puts different deep frequency sounds through it and with that you can control the shape. - sorry for bad english, im german

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

hmmm that sounds very interesting! I have a sub-woofer that's pretty big, I might be able to put my diorama on top of that as the water cures/dries and see if it works? Thanks for the cool idea :)

[@Deleter0011]

thanks for reply, i would apreciate it if you would try it and if it works to make a video of it, maybe its really a good workflow. wish you good luck! Luke Towan

[@imogenrogers6655]

"and lightheadedness", I chuckled. This stuff is phenomonal! Miniature scenes are my kriptonite. The number of times I've made my family stop as I gaze at and take photos of miniature scenes is almost laughable. I'm obsessed!

[@H1mon]

instructions unclear drove my model car into the river

[@Voitcus]

Maybe maps in your GPS are not up-to-date?

[@theofficialdannydevitoyout9154]

Damm

[@jambat100]

I drove it into a tree but the river is way worse

[@fuckthedumbsh1t]

are you sure your name isn't Susan Smith?

[@engchoonooi911]

Thing is, you could easily make a model of that by submerging the car a little into the river before it settles

[@andrewsmith2591]

Luke, your work is incredible. Such attention to detail and your simple explanations of how to do what your are doing is fantastic. I'm hooked.

[@baitboy3191]

I like how he says Mod Podge

[@terjekristiansen3781]

The BEST MOVIE I've seen for months!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@sputnik3216]

I think lightning is the most important part of making something realistic

[@hannsvii]

Sputnik lightning or lighting?

[@Fetidaf]

xx_RWBY_xx i hope he means lightning.. thatd be badass

[@idolzamora]

when Luke says realistic, he means realistic. wow. looking forward to more of your videos.

[@5p4rrow]

I have literally zero interest in this but for some reason its sort of mesmerising

[@about80crickets]

[@s0meRand0m129]

[@snazzysportstacker]

Aiman Hafeez it's been dead since like August and you posted it in I'm assuming October.

[@janhansen3753]

You are a freak. Not in a evil way, but that kind of attention to details are extremele extreme. Amazing work of art..

[@Gizawar]

If you would make tractor look dirty it would be amazing

[@frankeinfish]

Anyone who owns a Fendt 930 is more likely to keep it in perfect condition so i think it's more realistic to keep it that way

[@brianginex4834]

I love this kind of channel, because they do awesome stuff with things and chimichals i can't even use.

[@lockudlad]

How long did/does this take to make?

[@mpk6664]

[@plasticirishman52]

You are a genius. Best Landscape modelling film i have seen in some time- More of this brilliant work please. Great film making skills too!

[@robynhighart2026]

Tractor should have been weathered

[@Claudiniitrollando]

Damn Millenials oh my loord 😦

[@IamCombustible]

I agree. There's no tractor in real life that's that clean. The wheels are particularly jarring.

[@emilientherrien726]

The object of the video is modeling a river not saying you are not right of course!

[@inventor1978]

Scen great! Hot and Cold! Good video! Thank you!

[@sarcasmo57]

Why do they call it cottage cheese? Was it a specific cottage? If so which one?

[@Vaelosa]

sarcasmo57 it was cheese made in one's cottage when people made their own cheese. you know, instead of a dairy barn :)

[@The.Alabama.Woodsman]

I found him in 2019. I found this video which is 4 years old. I noticed immediately how his techniques have changed over those 4 years and can see how much better he is now. So cool!

this reminds me of when Thomas the tank engine use to be great

[@rhodelganaden5444]

Yep

[@rhodelganaden5444]

Back when it was a model train

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, so true!

[@lockudlad]

rhodel Ganaden The best ones by far. The moment it was digitalised to 'make it more realistic?????????' I hated it. How can you get more realistic than a REAL, even though a model, train?

[@petej3800]

Parents complained when it went all digital their kids did not like it either, Oh Lol another great Diorama, such a talent do you own a set up with full working trains etc or just the Diorama`s

[@TheAudiostud]

As they say "There's always 1" I just wish they'd give their reason, I for one really enjoyed your work! Great Work, Well Done!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]
