Realistic Scenery Volume 5 - A Drive Through Yellowstone

[@allthewayalive92]

I'm an artist and I don't even have the patience for this so I'm glad you do it all for us. Very peaceful.

[@withasideoffries9816]

it's relaxing too

[@dennisbrown6502]

I got to tell you i have been in the asphalt industry for 40 years, and that road you created is so natural it looks real, well done.

[@LadyCardinal]

You're like the Bob Ross of modelling :D

[@ArenaLas]

Finally! I'm not the one thinking like that:)

[@jameshowlett7281]

Yep, some happy little diorama trees

[@tatotiteta]

more like 3d painting

[@julian-o]

Happy little grass tufts

[@HackleFlyer]

Yes

[@goodgirl99us]

Ive watch ALOT of diorama and miniature builders on youtube and else where and never found anyone that comes close to your detailed explanations and how tos. I love you videos and have learn a great amount just from your vids thank you very much for your time and effort.

[@GiantDevilDog]

These videos are oddly satisfying to watch...amazing amount of patience

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks GiantDevilDog, it is satisfying when I get the results I have in my head onto the diorama.

[@carbor182]

I just enjoy the number of people that have no idea why they are watching these tutorials and have no intention to do it but still enjoy it :D I think its just a general interest for building stuff and somehow brings back childhood memories and fascination. And its nice to know that there are parts of KZbin without negative comments. Great job! Greetings from Germany

[@GoatOfTheWoods]

One of the best there are..especially love that soothing feeling this diorama gives.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thank you :) glad you liked it :)

[@petebutler5139]

You are incredibly talented and very patient. I'm recovery from surgery and find myself binge watching your tutorials. They are relaxing and informative. Thanks for sharing your talents and experience.

[@LaserGadgets]

Its so realistic, if you shake a TINY dead squirrel out of your sleef and place it somewhere, I wont be shocked! I almost expect tiny pigeons circling around the trees : O

[@RSpracticalshooting]

This has replaced Bob Ross videos for me. I could watch and listen to you all day.

[@lovegod5956]

It looks amazing, when you put the camera at ground level it looks so real. I'd like to get into this hobby looks like fun.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks :) It didn't take all that long... I've been doing these dioramas for about 3 years. I basically started when I began this KZbin channel however, I've always been a little artistic and had an interest in models and sculpting for a very long time. As a kid I used to make model aircraft and art and wood tech were among my favorite subjects in high school. Cheers Luke

[@ocalicreek]

Luke, you have a meticulous approach to scenery, taking your time and making sure you've thought of everything, and it pays off! Well done on the diorama and thanks for sharing these videos.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, I do spend a lot of time planning and building so it's great to see you appreciate it :) Thanks for watching. Cheers Luke

[@cantthinkofabetterusername6452]

i can't stop watching your videos!!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

cool :) glad you're enjoying them

[@genehall8895]

+Luke Towan Ive been Model RR ing for a long time, and this is the absolute best landscape modeling I have ever seen. Very informative too!

[@ncyt422]

I have no idea how I came to your channel ... I used to make some dioramas when I was a kid, and now, I want to experience the pleasure to do it again. Awesome tips for unbelievable dioramas, very well done! Very relaxing and enjoyable video as well, thanks for the content!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks, Ncls for your positive words. Glad you find my videos relaxing and enjoyable 😁

[@mann318is]

This content is so relaxing to watch. It's like a mindfulness to me. Amazing Job

[@shmowzow458]

This is great, not only entertaining and relaxing, but If there's people who want to do this too, you provide the resources for them as if the video is specifically made for them in an organized and helpful way. Amazing stuff

[@Marta_z_Dabrowy]

This is so beautiful ☺️ I liked an animated intro with a car and engine sounds. Interesting.

[@MartinScheuerJr]

I dont think I will ever make anything like this but I cant stop watching these videos. Good work. This is definitely art.

[@DavidGallowayTrains]

Thanks for another great video Luke! The Flexi-Stick looks like a fabric pattern ruler my wife has in her sewing room, albeit without the colour patches to make it easier to do the dashed lines. Found some T pins for securing foam in her sewing area a well... wonder what else I can re-home (with her permission, of course: happy wife happy life!).

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, well said. It's always good to find substitute materials that are lying around the house! I'm gonna need some T pins soon to help secure my track down! Unfortunately the wife doesn't have any...... any that I know about! Cheers Luke

[@projectclockcodes]

LOL :-D What are T pins? Would have to look on Google to see, I may have it but I may call it something else. xoxo

[@DaleScottMarion]

Wow, what a hobby, I enjoy these videos. I might take this up when i'm retired. Your attention to detail is incredible.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate :) It's funny, a lot of people who watch my videos are over 60 years old which suggest this is a pretty good hobby to take up in retirement :)

[@kb539]

Amazing!! I'm sure you know this but in the US our center lines are generally yellow and the shoulder lines are white. Beautiful work!

[@vincentadriaanse2032]

He lives in Australia.

[@kb539]

Yep, I know. Just sharing some info.

[@vincentadriaanse2032]

+kaleb baugh haha allright

[@kb539]

:)

[@dead99ish]

They are actually the same as they are in America, just that in some areas it's yellow.

[@cpulley2]

Was linked here from Reddit. I can't say I've ever been the least bit interested in making dioramas, but your skill and passion shines through, making it a very interesting watch.

[@gijskuijken4412]

With all of these builds on your channel you should make a mini town/city Like if you agree and if you also want to see it

[@larrybutz742]

If you glue some of the models together like the road ones or the ones with rivers in them, I think they’d be at least mildly alike. You’d need to make them specially to be lined up and not look really weird.

[@scouttroopertk0996]

That sounds coool

[@rizallyramos2381]

YUP ..

[@flappydragon4112]

Gijs Kuijken yes

[@redchillifox1318]

Even i was to say that....

[@MoZz..]

Your very good at this, your the only one i know of, who really know how to make it look super real, and its perfect done. Its very relaxing and enjoyful to watch, even tho i never have made a model myself.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks so much for an amazing comment 😊 I'm glad you enjoy watching the videos and if you build a model one day you could use some of my techniques 😊 Cheers Luke

[@roysmodeltrains]

I see your channel today, The video's are great! You make super video's!!!!

[@kento2771]

You r super inspirational, u r like the only KZbinr that actually makes me wanna do something with my life

[@theSelodijehermano]

Thank you KZbin for finally recommending me an excellent channel. You got a new subscriber. One question, do you sell this sceneries or do you keep them?

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, I don't sell them. They usually get displayed on a shelf at home, one day when I have to many models to handle I might sell some of them?

[@H1mon]

what i thought you like died or something you havent been uploading in a month i really enjoy your videos please dont stop making them models are my passion and you help me with my dreeams

[@slaveNo-4028]

YES RIGHT?? i thought exactly the same.. this is what youtube should be, a place for people with a talent, a hobby, making good informative videos (and actually taking the time to learn how to edit) that take your breathe away.. not "bathtub challenges" and and stupid pranks.. but weirdly, those people get rich and this here is a rare and hidden diamond inbetween.. but who are we kidding, its the viewers fault..

[@navinbabji]

i agree with dionicio, finally a youtube channel that actually is useful and informative...one question though...as i am from india, some of the materials used are not available here, so any tips on what can be used as a substitute..??

[@navinbabji]

i agree with dionicio, finally a youtube channel that actually is useful and informative...one question though...as i am from india, some of the materials used are not available here, so any tips on what can be used as a substitute..??

[@marksaber6472]

This guy deserves his own show tbh

[@FarlandHowe]

Brilliant work. You are the consummate artist. Rob

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Rob, glad you've been enjoying the videos :) I'll have to start on my main layout soon! I'll be looking to your videos for inspiration. Cheers Luke

[@kraftwerkVS]

Ha ha ha . You are unbelievable. I cannot exrpess exactly how much you impress me with each video of make. You are something else!!

[@zachmoscatello4796]

I wish I had the skill you had and I can completely understand why people like this

[@zachmoscatello4796]

Also you should release a video of you creating a whole town and co country side

[@hoboslapper8260]

I love these videos I can just sit here and watch all of them. They amaze me

[@410kane]

You should do pot holes

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture5209]

Mercedes Mob the black shapes on the road are where potholes used to be.

[@jameshowlett7281]

Well if you have holes in your pot what good would it be?

[@vickiechandler3112]

if he does a road in Pennsylvania there wont be patches,...just the holes....LOL

[@johnkelley9877]

The road you made looks exactly the roads I use everyday! Even the patches look good! The forest has the look and feel of a real forest. I plan on making a diorama with a road in it so I will use your techniques and no doubt I will watch this tutorial frequently while I build it. Thanks for the information as it really helps.

[@nickgrandy3098]

another great vid man...just wanted to let you know I was watching another vid by tsgmultimedia and they actually mentioned you...not by name but they were showing this old model one of them had built and the other says "yeah there's this guy in Australia who has a vid showing how to make a small shed with corrugated siding"...instantly thought it had to be you...anyway thought I'd share...peace...

[@josephlowry4320]

Your videos are satisfying to watch and learn, brilliant diorama Luke very brilliant, the trees, shrubs and the bushes are magnificent.

[@ryuzaki9315]

2:32 finally something I have at home : water

[@w.rustylane5650]

Once again a very informative tutorial. You're a natural born teacher. Love your videos.

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

@Luke_Towan can you do a video on how to make rock formations like we see in Yosemite National Park? Would love to see your take on the white misty waterfalls that go over the edges.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Interesting idea, I'll do some research and see what I can come up with :) Cheers Luke

[@carmium]

Hi, Luke: I'd suggest that the kinds of massive formations one finds in Yosemite are best represented on a painted backdrop. Now if you have any good ideas for Bryce Canyon-type spires and hoodoos, I have to add several to my friend George's layout and am open to suggestions! 8-D

[@amorembalming]

Luke, I've never been into this kind of modelling, nor will I ever be. I only mention this as a testament to your incredible skill and engaging tutorials to snare me as a subscriber. very impressive work mate. I'm hooked on your videos.

[@40belowful]

Your a very good artist:)

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, glad you liked it :) Cheers Luke

[@tamasmihaly1]

It's such a dreamlike world. Great videos Luke. You are very talented... And patient.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks again Tamas 😃

[@Terrus_38]

Speaking of intro: Wouldn't be that SO cool, if there existed a whole movie animated like that?

[@jincyquones]

Fantastic Mr. Fox

[@Onsvaltti]

Stop-motion...?

[@rowingeertjanvredeveld4524]

Listen, I cannot afford another obsession... my god you're talented. I am VERY envious.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, thanks Rowin 😁 Sometimes I have to remind myself to got to my actual job so I can pay the bills! I guess I wouldn't be making these models otherwise 😁 Thanks again mate

[@vikkiwilson5069]

Great stuff. Is that stop frame animation?? Surely not, very smooth and I know from experience it would take forever. Thanks for the fun.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, thanks Vikki. It is stop motion, I spent a good few hours making that animation! There are a few mistakes with it but overall it looks pretty good. I used flood lights to illuminate the diorama but unfortunately the very small amount of sunlight leaking through the blinds caused a flickering effect but I guess the flickering kind of adds to the atmosphere of the movie. I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Cheers Luke

[@projectclockcodes]

Hi Vikki, Yeah it took him a whole day (not a few hours) to take so many photos...I know because the garage was so cold so he migrated into our study (where the heater is), did his set up with his lights and shot away...it was beside our computer while I was studying. He puts so much effort to making it perfect for his supporters. It's impressive. Thank you for supporting him :-)

[@vikkiwilson5069]

The vid where you guys are in the car and you yell out "bush!" is hilarious. Luke is lucky to have you, Anna. I'm sure you remind him of that from time to time ;)

[@projectclockcodes]

+Vikki Wilson Lol.😂 definitely. It's fun and exciting listening to Luke whenever he talks about an idea and seeing it come to life. He's such a good man.

[@rizallyramos2381]

Every videos of Luke Towan is Realistic 😀😌😌☝️☝️👍...

[@mangeshkumar7711]

fantastic !! hey man can you make a jungle scenery. please , please 😢😄😅

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

It's added to the list of ideas 😄

[@Blitz0065]

A bit late to finding your channel but I'm continuously amazed after each video I click on. A thought that came to mind recently was, "where does he keep all these and does he eventually pass them on to friends, family or strangers as gifts?" If you haven't already done one, a tour of the projects you've kept would be GREAT!! Until then...I have a large backlog of your videos to watch

[@LassetUnsSpielen]

Here you go bud kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKCunn2Vrsd_b9k

[@acedia5241]

he calls them tutorials but i call them sleeping pills(in a good way(i have trouble sleeping and his beautiful voice calms me down))

[@kymymedia]

Hey I'm not al- **sounds of head hitting the desk**

[@willieboggs7799]

Whenever I notice one of your videos, I KNOW that the content will be a work of art. U.S. paved two-lanes have a white edgeline stripe.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks for the fantastic comment :) And for the tip about road lanes, unfortunately it's hard to get the small details right being on the other side of the world! Another mentioned the driver got into the wrong side of the car! lol It must have been a crazy Australian! Cheers Luke

[@Storyteller-ju9ug]

wow nice. What I can share your video on my blogging, I am also going to include your name in my article

[@LantingFarming]

my gosh, every vid i watch from you, i'm getting more and more excited to try this myself. Youre eye for detail is so amazing, like the leafs under the tree, for example. You blow my mind every time!!!

[@silverss396chevelle]

I live about 2 hours from Yellowstone.... the roads are not that nice....

[@headlessam]

but... I live a few hours away from it... who is stalking who? find out next time on KZbin

[@ahsanafzal48]

headlessam i live continent away

[@ahsanafzal48]

headlessam and also im stalking your mum

[@jadenstookey7676]

Yellowstone is pretty, I live in utah, so I don't go that often.

[@a.magnum.8651]

When I went the roads were either just redone or awful

[@dannylaguer515]

Once again and again.....another great video tutorial Luke !!! Greeting from Toronto, Ontario, Canada !!! Cheers mate, Danny

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Danny, glad you've been enjoying the videos. I have a few more on the way :) Cheers Luke

[@beauh1515]

“I’m gunna make a country road.” My mind: COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME, TO THE PLACE I BELONG, WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN MUMMA, TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS

[@scouttroopertk0996]

Senko fan haha

[@gmemstrBlade]

This is simply amazing... seriously makes me consider getting into this as a hobby. Love your stuff, keep up the good work.

[@travisnorton9288]

It’s cool when you see your last name in a video even if it’s on a piece of sandpaper

[@MotoCrazy66]

I would probably never do any of these things myself, but i love watching these videos. Keep the good work up, sir.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate :) I'm glad you like watching them, maybe one day you might find the urge to give it a try :) Cheers Luke

[@xXKWEWANXxGAMING_]

Dude he should add all his scenes together

[@luva774]

rc scale crawling ikr

[@luva774]

Plz

[@deenugent473]

This type of projects will teach us how to be extremely patient! I'm just amazed.

[@dany78945]

have you ever considered adding minature roadkill

[@jordone1538]

I love how you do tutorials instead of just showcasing the models. Watching you build on my UltraHD TV... What a breathtaking view

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Wow, now that's watching in style and comfort.

[@SadWatermelon]

What do you do after its finished ?

[@seeeee7883]

upload the youtube video

[@SadWatermelon]

and then ?

[@seeeee7883]

well he's got those little cars hasn't he

[@jocen3]

and then?

[@SadWatermelon]

and then?

[@Fiskekakemannen]

Your work is amazing!.. The little guy at the beginning brought his own car to yellowstone, by the looks of it.. He entered the car on the right side and drove off.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, yeah it was an Australian import 😊 Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed watching

[@ConnorCanRead]

I like this a lot, is this a fetish?

[@tobiaszstanford]

ASMR For Dogs It's a hobby...

[@a_youtuberk.4227]

"What kind of fetish is a 'hobby'?" -youtube commenter.

[@Jokaanan]

the way he says "static grass tufts" is definitely someone's fetish

[@MachineWashableKatie]

Well, you do dog ASMR.

[@ConnorCanRead]

Just whisper "you're a good boy" to a dog while crinkling some plastic wrap, it's a pretty easy fetish to get into.

[@maryannboy6981]

I appreciate the detail given in how you achieve such nice results. I looked this up to see how to create a realistic road but learn so much more.

[@AlexTaradov]

Yellowstone roads would have yellow lane dividers, as every single other road in the US :)

[@AlexTaradov]

Ok, it looks like it only appears white in the intro.

[@gozertablet5937]

Luke, as always your videos are professional, detailed, and thorough. Thanks so much for sharing, and keep on making them! Cheers!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, I've got many more on the way :) Cheers Luke

[@EpicMLKGamers]

This video made me question my diorama building skill.......

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, practice makes perfect. I'm sure you make great dioramas :) Mine aren't always this good but I don't show the bad ones on video :) Cheers Luke

[@jameshowlett7281]

Really? It made me personally question my lack of diorama skills, Period

[@digantasamanta7223]

Lolllllllllll

[@Jimmy-nx9lq]

Your dioramas have me awestruck. It would be neat to see many of these completed works compiled in a fantasy travel video through your creations, maybe telling a story along the way.

[@MrYouscrewed]

i'm 15 and i was think about getting a new gamingcomputer but noooo, this is so much better and i dedicate my time to something that is somewhat useful haha. This is theraputic for me! So thank you so much for getting me interested!!! ;))

[@accvanrobindebaas]

Would never have the patience to do this but its so calming to see you do this

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

That was something I did to my roads a couple years ago was add cracks and tar lines on the road. I never see anyone do that, and I am glad you did that because it really makes the road look real. Asparagus fern is an interesting way to make trees.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

yeah it certainly makes a huge difference! I like the asparagus fern trees but they take so long to dry out! Cheers Luke

[@FougarouBe]

Congratulations Luke ! A perfect video again ! Great results, really well filmed, really clearly explained and presenting products I personally did not know for the road itself ! Thanks a lot and best regards ! JF

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thank you for such a fantastic comment :) Woodland Scenics make some great products. Cheers Luke

[@FougarouBe]

You are welcome. It is just action-reaction principle: you made fantastic video so you got back fantastic comment ! :) Great products are not sufficient by themselves without talented people to use them. And my comment is valid for all your other videos as well. But I did not say it before in order to prevent you to get a big head, haha ! ;) It is not by chance that your work got this award (I forgot its name, sorry, and I don't find it back on your site now but I am sure I saw it) ! Cheers ! :) JF

[@kalloused]

so beautiful. I don't do scale modeling. I do some model airplanes when I have the time, but I have nowhere near the talent to do this but I'm fascinated with your videos. The detail is amazing. Brilliant to watch

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate :) maybe one day you could do a diorama for your models? It just takes a little practice. Cheers Luke

[@kalloused]

Luke Towan I'd love to try

[@timehunter9467]

The condition of that road is about the same as the roads near me, you actually made that road better by making the surface level too!

[@69adrummer]

I like all your work. Your videos are to the point, clear and easy to follow. Oddly enough, I do not do this hobby. It's just fun to watch talented people perform their craft. I also like your "pre-videos" haha the one with the fence and the cop car! :)

[@STSGuitar16]

Love the stop motion bit at the beginning. Nice job.

[@Hejhej781]

This is amazing! I have started doing a thing like this with a road through a forrest with small mountains. I used grass from my backyard as grass and small candels that i glue together and then put gray paper around them as rocks/small mountains!

[@martijn6778]

Wow, I watched it for like 20 seconds and I am already stunned

[@TomJones0065]

This is GREAT! love the design too.. Many ideas from you for some of my Nephews kids! thanks so much for teaching and SHARIING!!

[@jlpytlewski]

If you add a couple of huge potholes, this would look like most roads in New Jersey...lol. I`m a big fan of your work and this is another amazing project!

[@JunktoFunProjects]

Everything looks so real. Very well done.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thank you :)

[@jamoman0277]

I don't even make models or dioramas anyone but I still love watching these

[@normanrowe2831]

Right hand drive on the car. Of course. Another wonderful tutorial. Thanks.

[@Markolainen_]

Thank you for making these videos. They are very inspiring and just the kind of stuff I want to be able to make in the future.

[@lukerogers151]

You are absolutely amazing, man. Very skilled.

[@ashwithrehan2119]

how much cost of making this

[@timothymclaughlin6860]

Excellent tutorials Guy! Really appreciate the instruction. Really getting into the scenery building component of my layout and these tutorials are gonna be a huge help.

[@KHmixerX]

This channel relaxes me like so few do nowadays. I'd like to take a crack at some of these dioramas someday myself. Finding the time to do so will be difficult but ultimately rewarding I reckon.

[@daviemaclean61]

A great bringing together of some of your brilliant landscape techniques

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. The road came out better than I initially expected :) Cheers Luke

[@JBlayzeTV]

I find this extremely therapeutic, you're extremely talented

[@tejas826]

I'm addicted to your videos

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

😀

[@Fly_Away_2]

Great animation at the beginning. Good tips too.

[@ggreene245]

Your scenery is unbelievable... Well done.

[@TheShornak]

Awesome detail. I like the right hand drive car in Yellowstone.

[@lukenoble3319]

With all the yellow flags it looks like a crime scene. The diorama looks excellent and you always inspire me to do my own. Can't wait until your next post.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ha ha :) I guess it does look like a scene from CSI. Hmmm I think you gave me an idea for a diorama :) Cheers Luke

[@projectclockcodes]

Lots of ideas :-) a crime scene diorama would be excellent too. Might have to get a cop car with flashing lights and the crime scene tape with a chalk drawing on the scene or something like that. What fun. But then; would it be an Aussie crime scene or American crime scene?

[@CarmineRC]

+Anna Meresi Towan If American, ake sure to get the Woodland Scenics policeman set.... Half of them are eating DOUGHNUTS!!! :P

[@topnotchmarrero2913]

This guy deserves more subscribers

[@dodgeguyz]

Very cool. I wish I had the patience for this level of detail. Excellent work.

[@joe_3y3s]

god these videos are amazing. i dont even make models but im completely captivated by this!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Joe 😊

[@joe_3y3s]

Luke Towan I've binge watched so much of this channel! keep up it up dude

[@RicoGalassi]

I've been watching your videos for months, almost a year at this point. And they are so relaxing!!! I don't know why I was never subbed, but I just did! A great way to unwind after a long day of work. Keep making more!! Also, I found it, but dang, that collie is a tough find hahah
