WHAT IS HAPPENING? Hey all, I'm currently working on my next video and also moving house. While waiting for my next video, I've created a new Instagram account for my fans to post completed dioramas you've created (Conditions apply). You can check out the latest activity via: instagram.com/bouldercreekrailroad/ See you soon. Cheers, Luke
Since the Heki 1370 dried tree foliage packs seem to be no longer available anywhere, did you have a similar alternative? Otherwise, it's a sea of confusing foliage products that often need to be imported to see if suitable or not.
I don´t understand why some Guys dislike such an amazing video. These are the Moments when I realise that Hating is for someone like a Hobby. I love your Videos and appreciate the little Animation. Sry for the really bad English. Greetings from Germany
Great video !! I was born in Torrance in 1954 ! I remember Those trees on the blvd. Sat under them and watched parades. Later in Ventura, we had tree houses in the Tops of those eucalyptus trees !
I don't know yet how am I ever going to use all these knowledge (maybe never) but it's so satisfying to watch such perfectly done piece of art. I feel motivated.
lol... I don't want you passing out on me! I'm glad you're still enjoying the tutorials. I've got a few exciting videos coming up in the next couple of months.
The animation was not distracting.....heck, I didn't even notice the til people pointed it out. As for future builds, waterfall sounds great! I would also suggest tunnels, mountains or maybe interesting rock formations like the Three Sisters.
I had always wondered how to shape the Woodland Scenics Armatures and your tutorial answered these questions. The tree looks great and I like the special effects you added to the tutorial. Thanks for sharing this information.
You have the most relaxing videos on TH-cam. I just zone out and go into a happy place as I watch you create all sorts of miniatures. Great work--I've been watching for probably a year now--and I hope you keep going with your videos for a good, long time!
Superb work as usual sir!!!! I have always seen these trees as un useable due to their plastic toy like features but you have convinced me 100% that they can be made to look outstanding. Without your tutorial I would never have known. Thanks!!
Luke, love the special effects you did in the video. Your tutorials are awesome and I really can't wait for your next one. Take care and keep on posting videos because you are number 1 on TH-cam!!!
Thanks Rick, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. I actually just re-watched your switching the salvage yard video, love the scenery work especially the road in the background that leads up the hill.
Hey , Luke , nice as always mate , keep watchin this one , when I get Lost on my layout , I think Luke !!! And go thru your vids, thanks mate for all 10/10 for Aussie modellers
I thought the animations were whimsical, and I enjoyed them. Not distracting at all. Of course, some people just aren't happy unless they're picking holes in something.
Fantastic tutorial. Great to see you 'branch' out and focus on Eucalypts especially. I've been wanting to build a few Eucalypts for one of our boards, but wasn't sure how to go about it. This couldn't have come at a better time! Awesome work as always.
Luke...absolutely awesome! as always your tutorials are so detailed and explained so well. you have a true gift my friend! Keep up the great work my friend!
Awesome trees Luke! And my vote is to definitely keep the magical post production shezaaaaz! I wasn't at all distracted from anything, just amazed a bit more. Them's my two cents anyway. Looking forward to the next one as well. Cheers, Dan
Nicely done Luke! For some really nice trees you can also use sagebrush and clip the branches to take the shape of a tree then glue the armatures onto that. I’ve had some amazing results using that method and as far of the tree trunks/branches themselves, I have yet to see that method topped for realism! I just posted about them in my latest video as well over on my channel actually if you’re at all interested. Love your channel, it as been a huge inspiration both in your builds and video style! Thanks Luke for all that you do!!
The trees look amazing. Very realistic. Great job. I would have liked to see the tree from different angles, and with slow close up... but still a great video... 👍
Great video as always. Simple, but effective. There's probably a good bit of hate for the animations, I think they were fine for the most part. I suggest you keep using them and feel out where they work best, you're trying something new out and we can treat some of this as growing pains. Cheers!
thanks Jonathan, yeah I'm just doing some experimenting to see if I can add a bit more interest to these shorter style videos. You're spot on in terms of finding the right ratio and where they fit best. Thanks heaps and I hope you continue to enjoy the videos 😀
Torrance Blvd does have a great stand of eucalyptus trees. I know because I lived in Torrance. The eucalyptus in California wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Frank C. Havens planted 8 million of them in Northern California thinking he'd make a killing on the wood. Turns out eucalyptus trees have to be about 100 years old for their wood to of any practical use. California eucalyptus are mostly used for windbreaks or ornamental purposes, like Torrance Blvd. They are nice for that and your models are always cool.
Luke. I don't know if you've heard of an amazing novel written by a colombian nobel prize winner named Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The name of the novel is "100 years of solitude". He created a whole imaginary town, 'Macondo', where all kind of amazing things happen. How awesome it would be if you recreated that town, I'm pretty sure you'd be very famous here in Colombia. Just giving ideas to take your incredible ability to another level, worldwide known. Greetings from Colombia!

Haha! Perfect.
i have actually put on the playlist of scenery builds to fall asleep to before... it's great haha
Totally.
Great to see a tutorial. using products in the Aussie/Kiwi part of the world. makes it easier to shop for them.
A comment on Luke's tutorials is an exercise in superlatives. As always informative and polished.
It's a compliment!
ha ha no worries mate, I figured you meant it as a compliment. Glad you enjoyed watching 😉
the transition animations were really cool! added a great feeling of movement throughout the video
all these details show your level of professionalism! Luke Towan THE CREATOR!
The magic tricks complement the video. You're a true magician with these tutorials!
That is some serious dedication the cause. I randomly saw this video and am fascinated by this strange and interesting hobby!
Thanks for adding the Koala, it made my daughter very happy 😊
Man, I always forget to breath while watching you at work. This is just rediculously good! Thanks for the Vid Luke!
lol... I don't want you passing out on me! I'm glad you're still enjoying the tutorials. I've got a few exciting videos coming up in the next couple of months.
Luke Towan no worries :D that stuff is literlly breath taking! Cant wait for more Sir :)
Brilliant, thanks Luke, take care and be safe xxx
You are by far the best modeller I have see . Well done.
The animation was not distracting.....heck, I didn't even notice the til people pointed it out. As for future builds, waterfall sounds great! I would also suggest tunnels, mountains or maybe interesting rock formations like the Three Sisters.

I love your attention to detail. A standard for me to aim for while building my diorama. Thanks Luke👌

Thanks for the tutorial. My deciduous trees are getting better all the time.
Luke, love the special effects you did in the video. Your tutorials are awesome and I really can't wait for your next one. Take care and keep on posting videos because you are number 1 on TH-cam!!!
“Awesome trees” is right! Great tutorial Luke
Love watching all your videos... even though I'm no modeller...just love to see how creative you are 👍
Luke - ANOTHER home run! Great video and fantastic looking trees! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Rick, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. I actually just re-watched your switching the salvage yard video, love the scenery work especially the road in the background that leads up the hill.
Thanks, Luke!
Your vids never disappoint,always a joy to watch you work.
Hey , Luke , nice as always mate , keep watchin this one , when I get Lost on my layout , I think Luke !!! And go thru your vids, thanks mate for all 10/10 for Aussie modellers
saw ur videos first at my recommendation from then on i can't stop watching
I thought the animations were whimsical, and I enjoyed them. Not distracting at all. Of course, some people just aren't happy unless they're picking holes in something.
Super bien fait, une fois de plus. Merci pour cette démonstration. Thank you.

Wow, these gumtrees look a lot better than woodland scenics tree armatures and clump foilage alone!
so true! That's exactly how I used to make my trees in the beginning. Little did I know back then how versatile the armatures were
Luke you are the best, thanks for this tutorial.
Great work Luke!!. Without a doubt your dioramas will easily beat out any CGI scene made in a movie.
Loved the animations, Luke. Also that jump cut in the beginning after your initial shot of the armatures into the leafy material was super slick.
ha ha yeah I try to be creative with filming, glad you enjoyed watching 😄
Appreciating the cartoon motion and lightening effects! Love your vids man. Thank you. Now all I need is the time to try it myself 😄
Fantastic tutorial. Great to see you 'branch' out and focus on Eucalypts especially. I've been wanting to build a few Eucalypts for one of our boards, but wasn't sure how to go about it. This couldn't have come at a better time! Awesome work as always.
Absolutely stunning.
I'm probably not going to make a diorama any time soon, but I absolutely love watching your videos!
Awesome video.Making trees is probably my favorite part
yes I think so, extra great👍✌
Luke...absolutely awesome! as always your tutorials are so detailed and explained so well. you have a true gift my friend! Keep up the great work my friend!
Thanks a lot for yet another great video, Luke!!! Very informative and also relaxing to watch while modelling.
Great job, Luke. Your videos just keep getting better and better.
Awesome trees Luke! And my vote is to definitely keep the magical post production shezaaaaz! I wasn't at all distracted from anything, just amazed a bit more. Them's my two cents anyway. Looking forward to the next one as well. Cheers, Dan
Brilliant, if only i could post a picture of my efforts that would do you proud. Thank you for all your video tutorials. Gary.
Absolutely fantastic.
Really nice work, pleasure to visit your site!
Awesome tunes, and a great painting job on the bark of the tree, keep it up buddy!
Nicely done Luke! For some really nice trees you can also use sagebrush and clip the branches to take the shape of a tree then glue the armatures onto that. I’ve had some amazing results using that method and as far of the tree trunks/branches themselves, I have yet to see that method topped for realism!

Eucalyptus are my favourite tree. They thrive in the UK but do tend too grow with the wind.
Its a beautiful tree.. Great work over there...
Creative, precise and splendid job!
Nicest trees I've seen modeled!
Another great job, they look awesome Luke
As always, stunning.
So fun To watch these things to shape
Nós aqui do Brasil estávamos sentindo falta de vídeos mais longos deste canal.
The trees look amazing. Very realistic. Great job. I would have liked to see the tree from different angles, and with slow close up... but still a great video... 👍
Luke you're amazing. Great work
I would love a realistic scenery video with ruins or other old buildings in it. Like if you agree!!
Great video as always. Simple, but effective.
There's probably a good bit of hate for the animations, I think they were fine for the most part. I suggest you keep using them and feel out where they work best, you're trying something new out and we can treat some of this as growing pains.

Beautiful trees, Luke. I use basically the same process for all kinds of deciduous trees. 👍
Amazing work Luke 😍 loved it and the thought the animations were really cool!
Loved the animations!

very nice work luke 👍🎨
Awesome tutorial luke keep them up...
Very nice! Love the video efects.

Fantastic tutorial as per usual. Final product looks great and I really like the little highlight animations.

A ship wreck would be amazing.
