The thing that always amazes me is how few steps it takes to go from looking like a bunch of stuff glued in a pile to a vivid and realistic terrain piece.
Almost a year and a half later this is still my favourite scenery/terrain tutorial on TH-cam. The diorama is absolutely stunning. I want to build an entire model railroad in this style. :)
Fantastic presentation, Neil. I really liked being able to concentrate exclusively on the visuals - the editing was so tight that I didn't have a single question about any of the processes. Way to put in the editing work, my friend. I know that was a monster job. Thank you for demonstrating the most effective whitewater effects I've seen.
Thanks Heather! You give the best and most thoughtful compliments. And yes you are right on the editing part, oh boy...😏 Trying to do my best to be more strategic with what I shoot with the camera and not have hours and hours of footage to go through. That is still, a work in progress, however.😋 Thanks for stopping by again and giving such thoughtful feedback.
Hey u r so beautiful😘💞
InstaBlaster...
Probably the best water I have seen!
Amazing!
Thanks very much!🙂
I like the use of the sanded grout. Sets up solid and has a nice fine texture. I like how you added some paint under layers of envirotex for deeper water 'froth'. I think you did a great job capturing the movement of the water. A great piece!
Thanks Mike! I think I mucked up with the paint on the ridges on the waves/Liquitex gel trying to make the water look more turbulent, making it just look a bit odd. Next time I'd use some of the techniques discovered on the ocean board.
Absolutely awesome. It is so gratifying to watch a craftsman at work , and see the model come together with such a realistic appearance. Thank you for sharing .
Great technique! The flocking turned out perfect.
Thanks man and thanks for stopping by.🙂 You do great work over there, I was happy to see another one come out from ya recently here.👍
Very nice job. Love the rock work and the detail you put into each step so we can follow along.
Lovely work of art! All that's left is to add barrels riders.
At first, I thought the opening animation was the completed prop. I was thinking, "how in the hell did he do that?"
Great work & video btw :)
I thought that too. Wanted to know how he gets the “water“ moving 😂
TOTALLY EXCELLENT...NO WASTED TIME TALKING.?YET TAUGHT US EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW!
Simply stunning. Great video work too.
Beautiful work and beautiful video! Was a pleasure to watch.
Thanks :)
You are my favorite Canadian and i hope you keep to your crafts you are getting better and better each time good job
I love your work, and as an editor I must say I like your use of the mobius zoom transition, I think it's not used enough and really fun :)
Flocking awesome!!!
So cool my friend, thanks for the Inspiration. The Bridge and the last tree you placed really made that piece of Art worth looking at. Thanks for being you.
😲😲😲😲😲 breath taking...I would love to make it ...
Very detailed water effects!
Thanks man
Awesome presentation
Stunning... Inspiring!!
Thank you for going through all of the extra effort to film, present, edit, and post for us! Your diligent patience and tenacity truly is virtuous.
Beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!!
Great tutorial with some useful tips & ideas - definitely something to come back to for future projects. Well made video too, well done 🙂👍 Subscribed.
Thanks very much, welcome aboard!
This is crazy !
In a good way . 😮
Thank you, fantastic work and big big inspiration for me. I am like see next you video.
Not sure how TH-cam knew I needed these videos in my life but I've been watching as many as I can you are awesome I can not believe how realistic all of your designs look very impressive
You must be a clone of Luke Towan, you have the same skills. Great stuff. I enjoyed watching you creating something unbelievable and I still can't believe someone is able to create this kind of scenery.
Wow... that into!
Makeing that took some serious talent and skill's!! Prop's man, very kool.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the compliment.🙂
i’m doing a river soon with some archosaurs and this is a ton of help!
Thoroughly enjoyed!
Awesome, glad to hear!
This is crazy creative! Way to go!
Thanks Paulla!😊
magnifique réalisation ! Quel talent ! Un véritable plaisir pour les yeux pour le réalisme
Imagine you pick the wrong glue at the end and it remains white:))))).....it is amazing:)
Truly remarkable
How wonderful !!!
Thank you🙂
Great job man, you did beautiful work on this and it looks so real.
Great job would like to see more
Thanks Very much, appreciated. :)
You should try magnetic grass. It looks sooo real
Magnetic grass? You mean Static Grass? Yea definitely. I do have some, but I'd like to get the applicator. I'll give it a shot on my next build that will use grass👍
@@RealTerrainHobbies Sorry, yes that's what I mean. If you look up Dave's modle workshops he has a diy applicator. I love the tree by the way. You should do a orchard and try putting in little flakes of red for apples!
Bravo...Sanatına hayran kaldım....Terar tebrikler.
Fantastic work. Could you tell me which adhesive you used to glue the boulders to the side walls many thanks.
Respekt. Sehr gut ausgeführt.❤
Very nicely done.
Thanks :)
I don’t think that bridge would pass inspection... all jokes aside amazing work!
Well done
So realistic, especially the colors. Does anyone use real rocks in dioramas?
I think it's hard to make actual rocks look, well real when used in dioramas. The colours just look wrong with indoor lighting imho. Also they are heavy
Gracias por compartir su trabajo me gusto muy bonito felicitaciones .
MASTERCLASS
Amazing!
you are the best
Espectacular eres todo un genio.
Felicitaciones
Desde panamá soy venezolano
Fantastico trabajo, gracias por compartir 👏👏👏
Rock mold nice commercial product.
I knew when I saw how good this looked that I wouldn't have nearly enough materials to start haha.
Do you have a website where you have a list of things to get started in this hobby?
I just started my website here: www.realterrainhobbies.com. Still under construction but that's a great Idea! Will definitely be doing that so stay tuned and subscibe over there via email if you'd like. :)
Good Job
ชอบบบบบบบบบบบ มากกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกกก คุณเก่งมากครับ นับถือ.
Neil...Absolutely amazing work sir!! Wonderful presentation and perfect result. Really enjoy all of your vids. One question...where did you purchase the distressed tree?
Hmm, which tree? I’ve used sagebrush sticks for trees. They’re amazing to use. If you have sagebrush in your area is highly recommend pruning some for yourself! I add on the canopy with woodland scenics fine leaf foliage
wow.. you have a new fan :o
Awesome, glad to have you. :)
Wow 👍
손 조심하세요~^^
happy new year!!^^
Lindo parabenssss🤗🤗🤗
What do you do with all these? They must take up an enormous amount of space
when you put down another wash, you wait untill wash befor is dry? (16 minute)
I have the same rock mold, cracked in the same spot ha @4:05
parece tudo muito real😆👏👏👏
What did you do the water effects with? I could't find it in the vid
Whats the flocking / grass You showed at 26:20? And is it something you used in this project? as i believe the grass you used to highlight at 27:23 is yellow grass?
Hey Buffaloa, sorry for the late response! Missed this. Yea I need to do a better job of listing my materials in future videos. That at 26:20 was Woodland Scenics “Earth Blend” blended turf flocking. I was using that at 27:23 and did not use very much of the “Yellow Grass” at all.
@@RealTerrainHobbies Thankyou for your response! Your grass on this build is definitely my favorite out of all the other terrian videos ive watched. If you wouldnt mind answering another question for me that would be extremely helpful. On your tavern videos you use wood for the framing which looks very very cool. My question is though first off where to you buy the balsa wood, and what general sizes would you recomend buying to then do slight adjustments to size them property. With using them like you did as like an outside frame / roof panels/ shingles. Thankyou again!
Hey thanks! I've just been buying the balsa so far from Michaels here in Canada. Haven't sourced out a better place yet but it's been convenient for me where I'm at. The sizes I've been using are mostly 1/4" and 3/16" square dowel and the occasional 3/8" which is actually a hard wood used for the door hinges. I've used 1/16" for the shingles and I'm sort of regretting it now as they're a little too think. In hindsight I would have gone for something thinner.
@@RealTerrainHobbies Thanks so much for this info! Best of luck!
Where do your get supplies from?
I've gotten most of my stuff off Amazon. Some local. I'm setting up an amazon shop on my website right now. It's still under construction and I haven't finished it up. I'm planning on adding in descriptions for everything in there as well. If you head there: realterrainhobbies.com/shop/ you can see the shop and if you use the links for your purchases it'll help the me and the channel out. If you still have questions, scroll to the bottom and you can use that message box which will email me directly with any questions you might have on the list or anything outside of the list.
could you make with water?
This is crazy...
❤️
I prefer to use the disposed abandoned stuff or cheap materials such as metalyc woll garn pieces wrap paper of food etc
The available commersial stuff doesnt really amuse me. It is like one build the lego.

@@RealTerrainHobbies aww that's awesome , hope you achieve your goal in no time , te amamos
No era el único que alivio jaja pero es estuvo muy bueno esa obra de arte 👏
A suggestion.. buy a couple of rubber plaster bowls and plaster spatula from a dental supply company (size to suit your needs) cleanup is a breeze you can let the remains set in the bowl, then squeeze and flex over the bin and tip out the remaining set plaster. The spatula is just designed to mix up plaster easily. For mixing plaster try putting water in the rubber bowl and sprinkle the plaster on top, don’t mix straight away leave it until you see the top surface appear damp. It is counter intuitive waiting, but this way you won’t get any lumps. If you do this the plaster bowl lends itself to being held in the left hand and the spatula in the right whipping the plaster like whipping cream.
You’ll know your ratios of water and plaster. Stir or shake the plaster first to lighten it ( if it has settled in the packet, this stops a big lump falling into the water and splashing every where. Last thing letting it dry and emptying into the bin will save your waste pipe in the sink blocking over time. 50lb 25kg bags of plaster of Paris aren’t expensive just keep it dry! I had a dental lab for many years and mixed up loads of plaster. Adding a tiny bit of Borax slows down the setting time (a little goes a long way !) Salt accelerates the setting up to 5% then retards the setting. Old plaster in your bowl accelerates the setting as the old plaster acts as crystallisation points and it rapidly sets. This also applies if you find you need to add plaster to a thin mix this will set faster than the correct ratio. I know nothing about your amazing diorama skills but do know a little about plaster :) finally there are a couple of different plaster types you may find of use the white plaster of Paris and there is dental stone I forget the trade name British gypsum make it for uk dental labs. across the pond there will be similar, it is used for making dental models of the mouth from impressions and once set it is incredibly hard and would allow you to have much thinner sections without breaking.
Wow, fantastic info man. Thanks for the info! You sure do know your plaster alright. Going to definitely take your advice. I'll sure be looking into the rubber bowls and spatula. Indded I see the cleanup being a breeze by just letting it set then crumple out, not having to worry about the plumbing in the process. This dental stone is quite intriguing as well. Going to have to find myself some of that. All the tips on the plaster setting are great too. Definitely learned my lesson trying to add new plaster with the old still left over as well. lol This is the great thing about posting on the internet. So much new and awesome advice out there I would have never figured out on my own😊.
Lol, the information goes both ways, except mine was only a couple of minutes typing. Not sure which part of the world you’re in, re the dental stone in the US I think it is an ADA type3 plaster, (American Dental Association) it is normally used for casting models after impressions of the mouth are taken. It is strong and when dry very strong. Btw the white plaster virtually doubles in strength if left to dry for 24 hrs. Dry plaster is much stronger than damp. There are harder crown and bridge synthetic plasters that are stupidly strong ( and stupidly priced). Just look for plaster made for model casting not general purpose soft plaster of Paris its just a little more expensive.
Rumor has it he still uses the spoon and glass for dinner.
Suddenly, a wild bridge appears. Great work man!
Hey you didn't watch to the end! The video for the bridge is here 😁: th-cam.com/video/T5J26Fcu3Yw/w-d-xo.html
I am sorry, but that looks amazing 😳😍 You‘re a master, my friend.
Thanks very much. :)
Just amazing skills, both as a terrain modeller and videographer
At last, someone who doesn’t hum and arr, but just gets on with brilliant work
Excellent video...snickered at dam. Vs damn...lol keep up,the great work
Superb. You're an artist of the first order.
Thanks! 😊😊
Just one word describe your creation :
F A N T A S T I C
Are you looking for any more ???
Well, the initial foam bits had me thinking, what in the world is THIS going to look like. Throughout the video, I was increasingly intrigued as to where you were headed to create the rapids shown at the beginning. I just wasn't seeing it. About 3/4 of the way through, your vision had me wondering. And then, like magic, you suddenly brought it all together to create one fantastic rapids and cliffs. I'm currently working on a landscape with a river and your idea will work great. This is my first project, so let's hope I can achieve such a wondrous scene as you have. Thank you for revealing this great concept. I love it!
haha, yeah it was a little messy at the start. I had the idea in my head where I was going but certainly hard to see that at first Something I should maybe try to improve upon in future videos to help ppl see where its heading. Thanks for the great response and best of luck to you and your future build!
@@RealTerrainHobbies Oh, I don't know if you should do that... it was such a great climax to see the mystery suddenly resolved. :)
sir i made my own bridge after watch your video, its informative inspiring I love its sir💓💓💓
The finished product is a piece of art. One thing I do that makes things a bit easier and saves a lot of headache and retouching is to, once you have "ground" levels established, finish the sides and paint them black. Then do all the groundwork, i.e. flocking, static grass, foliage, then the very last thing is the water. Doing the water last avoids getting any flock or scenic glue or anything that could ruin all the hard work you do getting the water to look real.
Just a friendly tip. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Very true. I'm bad for jumping around and wanting to get to the next step before I'm done the current stp I'm on lol. Which isnt good when you have to put it into a cohesive step by step video lol
Real Terrain Hobbies Gotcha. I can imagine when I finally decide to start "filming", I'll probably make mistakes and missteps O' plenty. You do good work and the results are usually amazing. Thanks for taking the time.
Great job showing tools needed but the rock molds need a close up. Which ones do I need to order,❤️❤️jenn
I like that.. good editing and it wasn't to hard to follow... music is good either with or without voice over, you need a sound track list as my wife was sitting next to me reading the paper saying "Oh what's that music" and the text isn't up on the screen for long enough... all round pretty good ....
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I should throw the music info up. It’s from a website I pay to use the music and I just randomly grab what I think would work. That’s actually the worst part though. I have a really hard time getting that perfect song, and most of the time I have to resort to just “good enough.” But I find it’s difficult to even get the “good enough” music. Maybe I need a different website with a better search engine to get what I’m after more easily...
Hi Neil, thanks for getting back to me. I watch a fair bit of You Tube and some times the sound track can kill the visual, yours sits pretty well with what you have done... It adds to the feel rather than distracting from it.
I build 1/24 trucks and was considering doing one on a diorama, so I've been cruising You Tube for a few weeks picking up tips here and there... Obviously I stumbled across Luke ( Boulder Creek ).... after I watched his vids a few times I began to analyse them and what I noticed about his is that for most part, he only has a 10 second music loop.. It's the same phrase over and over again, then he fades in and out with his voice narration.. Having said that one of my other favorite You Tube vids is a guy called Bare Metal Bandit that builds rat rod lead sleds.... on it's own I wouldn't listen to that kind of music but with slide show he's done it sits really well... Can I ask you what kind of editor soft ware you use as my son is looking for something better than movari, that he uses for his mountain bike Go Pro stuff...
Jeff...
@@aussietruckphotosandmodels8510 Hey sorry for the incredibly late responses. Had my computer at the shop for the week as it stopped posteing after I took it on a trip. Thought I'd damaged the motherboard but turns out the heat sink on the cpu was wiggling on the trip and pulled the processor from the socket. So no damage done in the end thankfully and just needed a good remounting... but having the computer gone for the week hurt me on editing being really anxious to get my next video out.🙄 Thanks for the feedback on the music! Glad to hear it fit well and wasn't too distracting. Going to definitely give this Bare Metal Bandit guy a try! Hope you create something great for your model. Would love to see how it turns out, definitely am going to head over to your channel and take a look! As far as editing software I use Adobe Premier Pro and have recently also subscribed for Adobe After Effects, which is all the fancy text effects etc. So it is definitely adding up on my end as far as cost, but adds a lot to the videos I think.
Fantastic modelling. Have you ever costed the materials for this? Superb. Thanks
This in combination with your medieval house build looks like it would make for an excellent watermill, so that's going on the to-make list right after I finish shamelessly copying your house design. These tutorials are truly excellent!
Haha go right ahead and copy away! That’s an excellent idea, you’ll have to post over in the FB group your work of art when u get her finished! Thanks for taking the time to watch, truly appreciated.🙂
Well, after literal months it's finally in-progress. I messed up slightly in my first attempt (not enough dry fitting and too much over eagerness to get started), but I'm trying to channel my inner Bob Ross and planning to more or less "cover over" my happy accidents with a second layer of plaster - my cliffs may be a bit higher and narrower then anticipated, and the water to my mill may have to be carried via a slue rather then natural flow.
Amazing! Realy cool how you did it!
Terranscapes sent me. Beautiful work! And your editing is above and beyond the call of duty. You got yourself a sub.
Welcome on board! Yea, that's really awesome Terranscapes (Mike) recommended me. Wasn't expecting that, nope! lol Major honor to be mentioned by him, that's for sure. He's an absolute legend. Glad you decided to come over and check things out. 🙂
Very nicely put together. The art speaks for itself. Well done.
Very nice job! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Also I like the way you take time in really SHOWING us your hard finished work afterwards.
I couldn’t understand a word of what you were saying
I'll try to speak a little louder next time. :P
Real Terrain Hobbies your welcome
33:20
You have got to be kidding me
I cant even draw that scenery on canvas and this guy made a fricking model of it🙄🙄🙄
😊😊😊 Thanks man
@@RealTerrainHobbies
YOU, my friend,
Are beyond amazing😍😍😍
You are right this is amazing
Really its amazing i also cant draw this in canvas. I really would like to learn it.
@@mousumilaikbanerjee6758 you can learn! It just takes lots of practice! 🤗
subd after just 1 video. Great channel will be using many of your methods !.
In a newer video, you mentioned how far your videography has come; you're quite right! I'm glad you moved away from the house music, and your videos in general are a lot more relaxed with you in them describing your process, and your time-lapses have gotten even better.
Let me know below if you like this style or not, just having the music and no voice over. Not something I plan on permanently in the future by any means, just thought I'd give it a try.👍☺️
FYI Picking the right music is harder than you think!🙇🏻
andrea zaltron Awesome, thanks for letting me know! :)
I prefer the voice over.
wow and YES I was like " wait what r u" then the pop up! Lol.. They Look Look like rocks, Amazing. This is the Color and kind I need for my big project HO scale RR! GREAT JOB THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!! ; )
Nice man. Best of luck to you and your railroad!🙂
Maravilloso!!
Quisiera tener la pasiensia y materiales para hacer cosas así 😹❤
Wow... Just wow... One of the greatest step by step landscape tutorial I've seen ! No words but clear explainations and great musics, what else ?
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you again for such high praise.😊😊😊
