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
@@BoulderCreekRailroad I like how you film your models outside as they to blend right in with the surroundings. That's talent with filming, let alone the model work.
I do not make models. I have no desire to make models. Yet I just watched a FORTY-FIVE MINUTE video about how to make a diorama, and loved EVERY MINUTE. I just love watching the details come together to make a scene that legitimately looks 100% real. I had to watch the finished results at the beginning and end and keep telling myself "that's a model!" because it just blew my mind. Thank you so much for your incredibly interesting videos! Even people who don't make models enjoy them, which is high praise.
First of all; TH-cam has everyone afraid of producing a video longer than 20 minutes. If what you are doing with the video is interesting, most folks, young and old, will watch intently for a lot longer than that. Your videos are so well edited and narrated I would watch an hour and still be amazed at your craftsmanship and care for details. You, sir, are indeed a master modeler. I've seen dioramas in the Smithsonian that were not as believable as your work. P.S. Great photo magic as well.
So I don't want this to be a downer. For the last few months I have used your big build videos to help me sleep. I suffer from anxiety and depression (well before what going on in the world over this last year) your voice and video are soothing and peaceful and help relax me. I do thank you so much as I say I don't want to come across as negative. Keep up the good work and I look forward to future videos. 👍 Thank you.
ha ha... I totally didn't expect the one with the helmar super tac glue bottle to work... and then it just bounced right off the table and landed upright!
Hi, read your comment. You like aquariums? This is just a 13min test with no music, but I'm soon going to shoot at least half an hour, maybe an hour long. Going to be of the whole tank and the quality is gonna be even better. Hopes this is soothing enough. Let me know if you like it, I'll keep you posted when I upload the next video. 😊😊🐠🐟🐠🐠🐟 th-cam.com/video/PdkUvyeO6sw/w-d-xo.html
Mauricio Huamán I learned about OCD early on enough in life, so I was able to recognize it and stop it, thankfully. I seriously used to attribute human emotions and ethics to inanimate objects, and be sad to damage like... a pencil or at its worst, to delete a letter when typing on a keyboard. Like I killed the letter... F#%K. Mental health is important.
lol yeah it's hard to get the car to slow down naturally and actually see the front wheel turn as the car takes the corner 😉 It's a pretty tight corner as well which doesn't help visually. Glad you liked it Brad 😀
@@BoulderCreekRailroad steering front wheels is one thing, but I think just adding a driver to the car would help a bit too! ;-) Astonishing modelling in any case!
This is without any doubt top (and ultimate) tier of minature building. So many times I was like "there's more to this finish?!". Wow. If I may throw in my 2 cents - for me only thing is lack of some more glossy/sleek items on the set. It is obviously due to it's character, but f.e. the phone booth and this electric device/box on the pole might have had that kind of sleek finish. Anyway, without my paltry coins this set is astonishing and nothing will change that. Congratulations, jaw-dropping talent. I've looked on your channel and I'm surprised there is no clips of you working on miniatures for bigscreen movie sets. You got what it takes, that's for sure. Maybe you just don't show these clips, or I've missed sth ;) All the best for you mate, keep doing this beautiful work and I hope you extract some deserved big buck from it. Pozdro666
wow... I was literally copying and pasting my own comment (that was pre written no less) right as the video was being uploaded and you still beat me! I literally have no chance of ever being the first comment when competing with athletes like yourself 👏 well done!
My husband found your channel and has been listening to you for the last two weeks every night. Your voice is so soothing lol. And you have inspired him to spend all of our money at the model shop. ❤️

😍 I love your videos! A lot of people are doing things like you but I don't enjoy their videos as much as yours! They usually rush things trough and add some annoying music while your vids show everything in details and your background music as well as your voice are really calming so it's a perfect combination 👏🏼 Great job man!
Awesome video as usual Luke little longer than what I'm used to but very very interesting and very beautiful work you do an outstanding job and I'm assuming you must make the bicycle riders yourself because I don't ever remember seeing any at the hobby shop that their legs actually move so I'm assuming you must make those yourself that just really look realistic especially the store. the store was just a work of art in itself . You could almost heat the registers ringing up sales it is so realistic. I have to admit there are times I see your work and I look at my work and I'm just like I should just give up ain't no way I'm ever going to be that good so I don't know why I keep trying? but brilliant video again I really enjoyed it thanks for posting it.
This one is seriously impressive, even above your other builds. I love the corner store too, very intricate and rustic-looking. You always manage to get the rusty Australian town feel in your builds and your videos are really insightful to watch!
I have come to expect that your videos start with a shot outside so you have natural light and a real backdrop, making it look hyper realistic. This time, I was marvelling at how you managed to line up the shot so the building blended in with a real passing car on the road behind the model. Then I realised that the car driving by was part of the diorama. Awesome shot. I honestly thought the car was real for a moment.
Luke Is There Anything In This World You Can't Replicate. This Talent Of Yours Is God Gifted. Wish I Could Leave My Job and Take An Apprenticeship Under You.
Just saw a new video arrived before getting the mail notification. 46 minutes of astonishing video, with my daughter (8.5) amazed and repeating "Waoh, he's amazing, dad !". Thanks again, quite a superb job !
I thought this was a video of a real town the bicycle rider looked so natural the lighting the sky everything was unrecognizable from real life this is insane quality work !!!!!!
@@BoulderCreekRailroad That is super cool how that work. I thought it was CG when I first saw it at the start of the vid. The bike rider kind of reminds me of Kermit the frog riding the bike in the Muppet Movie.
Cool Man an Indian that made a well constructed comment, with punctuation, no grammatical errors and without swearing? you really are a cool man dude, props to ya
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. On a side note I've been watching T-Series and Pewdiepie to see who will win the race to 100 million subs! I didn't realize how active India is on TH-cam! It's quite amazing.
@@TrainsandDioramas Didn't meant to insult my praise was genuine, I was talking about online interaction with some people, didn't spoke to many Indians but most of them are polite, I was talking broadly
@@Matt_19-89 bruv.. 70% of India is Already developed.. More than half of India is now on the internet and thanks to Felix a.k.a Pewds.. we are catching up on memes coz of meme review and we are catching up with world affairs with Pew news!.. So.. Chill.. we can Type well too! :) Love from India @LukeTowan
Luke, I just stumbled on this video by accident, but I was absolutely FASCINATED with the detail and skills you leveraged in this instructional video. I don't model and I don't craft but now I really WANT to! Thanks for this view into your modeling world, I was blown away. Wow. Mod podge water ripples. I would never have thought of that.
Cheers Ron, they are pretty amazing! You could definitely use this magnetic system to get cars moving in N scale as well. Might be something worth looking at?
@@BoulderCreekRailroad So Im actually going to buy some working tools, if I buy these: hotwirefoamfactory.com/K05_Craft_Deluxe_3in1_kit.html Would they work in AUS or do I need a new plug or transformer?
Luke, you knocked this out of the park. When I started the vid, I thought I was looking at a reference video instead of the completed diorama - well done!
Hey Ismael - this artist could make ANYTHING his amazing mind could think of. His only limitation is one that most of us have to deal with - he has to work for a living!!! But mate, there's NO reason you can't do the same as him. Just get out and try it. But then, we want to see your videos, too, OK? Chance 'em, brah!
Re: Spray painting (even with an airbrush): There was, back in the day, a pretty well known professional model painter, whose name I can't remember at the moment--his talents were often shown off in "Mainline Modeler" magazine, a US model railroad specific magazine. In those days many modelers used lacquer based paints, brand name Floquil (the brand name is still around), and unfortunately this very talented modeler ended up killing himself, because he failed to use adequate respiration protection or a paint booth as part of his regimen. He died not of cancer, which many chemical compounds still make use of and can cause in the long-term...but literally of toxicity due to overexposure to chemically dangerous paint fumes and particulates. Not that even lower amounts of exposure will do you very much good either.... I bring this up because you, Luke, very often seem to spray paint, and particularly paints like Rustoleum, around somewhat haphazardly/casually, and without obvious, adequate respiration (at least where the videos are concerned). Maybe your regulars have already heard your recommendations where sprays are concerned, but as a new subscriber, those aren't all that obvious, even if they are already out there. Paint splattering? Cool. Dry brushing? obviously cool. Dusts, chalks and other dirts? Cool--you are as exposed to those as much as if you step outside and take deep breath (life is dangerous...lol!). But spraying paint inside a confined space is a bit riskier, particularly if you make modeling a life long hobby. Just sayin'. Otherwise, I LOVE your work. You get after it and get it done, which is a talent (and it IS a talent too) I can only envy. Props...!!...and thanks. Your channel rocks!
I could watch a video of just those miniature bikers moving along the road. I was audibly shocked when the final shots appeared with the cars moving and everything looking perfectly realistic!
Really loved the bikers. Just need more animated figures and this would feel like an actual little living town. Maybe a couple of old men playing cards, a shopkeeper sweeping in front of the store, etc..
What an absolutely gorgeous model! I'm curious what happens with the models after their finished? Do you keep them, sell them, were they commissioned, etc? Love your videos!
That is superb. A key giveaway of modelled scenes (and game/CGI landscapes) is lighting. Daylight is almost impossible to properly recreate unless using the real stuff.
lol... we are also upside down. I had to flip the video after filming it so it would appear the right way up for those watching in the northern hemisphere... 😄
How did you get the sky and mountains in the background? This whole thing was very enjoyable to watch. I didn't even realize it was forty plus, minutes.
0:11 подумал, что ты реально каким-то образом поставил велосипедиста, а сзади диорама : D . Просто первый раз вижу в видео подобный велосипед. Очень реалистичный)
the outside of this building is a masterpiece.. oh wait, theres also printed illusions of 3d things inside.. oh wait, theres also actual 3d things inside.. oh wait, theres also real lights inside.. of wait, thats just one building.. oh wait theres also a whole entire scene.. how the Fluck can there be so many masterpiece level things all wraped up into one little scenery piece??? My mind is blown at the level of craftsmanship and skill and awesomeness in these things.. Now its 2am and i have to work in the morning.. damnit.. well ill prepare for being exhausted tomorrow because theres no way im missing this... or the next 4 that im sure ill be watching. lol.

Excellent and captivating work as usual. Seems like time flew by watching you work.

Never even considered building something like this, but i watched every minute! Some parts twice when i showed a friend!
So I don't want this to be a downer.
For the last few months I have used your big build videos to help me sleep.
I suffer from anxiety and depression (well before what going on in the world over this last year) your voice and video are soothing and peaceful and help relax me.
I do thank you so much as I say I don't want to come across as negative.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to future videos. 👍 Thank you.
okay Luke, stop flexing on me with you sick bottle flips
ha ha... I totally didn't expect the one with the helmar super tac glue bottle to work... and then it just bounced right off the table and landed upright!
@@BoulderCreekRailroad im just gonna make a compilation of your bottle flips
@@shuckalax1104 that was a great idea
"I wasn't completely satisfied with the tree, so I set it on fire." priceless : )
LOL ... yeah. Wouldn't it have been easier to build that tree from scratch instead ?
well that escalated quickly...
As you do
Maybe next time you could just T.P. the tree instead. 😜
I guess all the dislikes came from people who believed they were master modellers..until they saw this. Awesome build 👏👏
As a person suffering from anxiety these super-relaxing modelling videos are pure gold.

Hey Ismael - this artist could make ANYTHING his amazing mind could think of. His only limitation is one that most of us have to deal with - he has to work for a living!!! But mate, there's NO reason you can't do the same as him. Just get out and try it. But then, we want to see your videos, too, OK? Chance 'em, brah!
We watch this all together as a family now, even the wife joins. Your stuff continues to blow us away, keep it up.
At the beginning of the video., I didn't realize I was watching a diorama at first. Great job.
Having the patience to do this is one thing...
But to have the skill to make it this realistic is just incredible!
I honestly love how at the beginning it looks so real, but then blow everyone's mind that it ain't! like i legit thought it was real at first
Dude, You make putting those windows together look easy. I hate to tell you what I'm visualizing myself doing it looks like. LOL
Blimey! I thought that the opening shots were video composites. The fact it is a physical effect makes it all the more amazing.
Same here , I thought that it was the model subbed in with real footage , All I have to say is Holy Shit .
Re: Spray painting (even with an airbrush): There was, back in the day, a pretty well known professional model painter, whose name I can't remember at the moment--his talents were often shown off in "Mainline Modeler" magazine, a US model railroad specific magazine. In those days many modelers used lacquer based paints, brand name Floquil (the brand name is still around), and unfortunately this very talented modeler ended up killing himself, because he failed to use adequate respiration protection or a paint booth as part of his regimen. He died not of cancer, which many chemical compounds still make use of and can cause in the long-term...but literally of toxicity due to overexposure to chemically dangerous paint fumes and particulates. Not that even lower amounts of exposure will do you very much good either....
I bring this up because you, Luke, very often seem to spray paint, and particularly paints like Rustoleum, around somewhat haphazardly/casually, and without obvious, adequate respiration (at least where the videos are concerned). Maybe your regulars have already heard your recommendations where sprays are concerned, but as a new subscriber, those aren't all that obvious, even if they are already out there.
Paint splattering? Cool. Dry brushing? obviously cool. Dusts, chalks and other dirts? Cool--you are as exposed to those as much as if you step outside and take deep breath (life is dangerous...lol!).
But spraying paint inside a confined space is a bit riskier, particularly if you make modeling a life long hobby. Just sayin'.
Otherwise, I LOVE your work. You get after it and get it done, which is a talent (and it IS a talent too) I can only envy.
Props...!!...and thanks. Your channel rocks!
I could watch a video of just those miniature bikers moving along the road. I was audibly shocked when the final shots appeared with the cars moving and everything looking perfectly realistic!
Great job Luke, keep up the good work ❤️
So relaxing to watch your videos! You fooled me when I saw the first seconds - I thought it was real. Perfectly done :)
Really loved the bikers. Just need more animated figures and this would feel like an actual little living town. Maybe a couple of old men playing cards, a shopkeeper sweeping in front of the store, etc..
INCREDIBLE!!!
keep it going! You found what you were made for
*Beginning of the video.*
Me: Oh! he is gonna recreate this real town.
*End of the video*
Me: FML!! TAKE MY MONEY!
Can’t stop watching these videos! I’m getting so inspired
Super like from Mexico. I love your videos. Thanks a lot!!!
Nina so cool that a girl might be interested in this, luv you babe from down under oz
Yes!!!!! FINALLY I've been waiting so long for another one of these absolutely amazing videos
What an absolutely gorgeous model! I'm curious what happens with the models after their finished? Do you keep them, sell them, were they commissioned, etc? Love your videos!
I love your videos mate! You should do an interview with someone. I'd love to learn more about the guy behind the models.
That is superb. A key giveaway of modelled scenes (and game/CGI landscapes) is lighting. Daylight is almost impossible to properly recreate unless using the real stuff.
This was randomly suggested to me by YT and I am genuinely impressed at the level of skill you have. Well done.
They're all driving on the wrong side of the road, mate!
Just kidding, awesome video!
lol... we are also upside down. I had to flip the video after filming it so it would appear the right way up for those watching in the northern hemisphere... 😄
I dont know how I got here. But I'm glad I'm here! Amazing!
How did you get the sky and mountains in the background?
This whole thing was very enjoyable to watch. I didn't even realize it was forty plus, minutes.
They are real mountains and sky he took the video outside lol
0:11 подумал, что ты реально каким-то образом поставил велосипедиста, а сзади диорама
: D . Просто первый раз вижу в видео подобный велосипед. Очень реалистичный)
DUDE THAT IS AMAZING! WELL DONE! GREAT VIDEO
This was so cool to watch! I love miniature things, and seeing how these tiny cars can move throughout the town, so cool!
Ant Man could live there after defeating Thanos
Hahahahaha

Hahahahaha
Hahahahaha
Hahahahaha
This video is abso-bl-lutely fabulous ! The store blows me away !

Now its 2am and i have to work in the morning.. damnit.. well ill prepare for being exhausted tomorrow because theres no way im missing this... or the next 4 that im sure ill be watching. lol.
I was thinking: "Why does he puts road signs facing the wrong way?". Then it got me. It's Australia!
ha ha you are definitely not the first to think that 😃 we are upside down in this part of the world
Oh come on, we all know driving on the left is the proper way and anyone driving on the right are nutters!
Drew Fox. It’s spelt “right”. LOL
Hi Luke. Your clip is a pure gold for us whom are in a lockdown. Thanks
Luke: this is not a short build so grab a cup of coffee.
Me at 2am: okay I guess I’ll do that.
