BRAVO. I have never seen anything so realistic or beautiful in my entire life, and I'm 72-years old. This surpasses CGI, photo realistic painting, anything. This is true art... amazing!!!
@@HighEyeWorkshop Haha. I ended up waiting until the video was over. It was like that great book that you just couldn't put down. The results of your work are so amazing! Jawdropping, in fact. It's something that I'll have to work up to. Not due to lack of skill. I'm sure I can crush a project like this, now that I know how it is done, thanks to you. But I see there are a lot of products that go into such a beautifully realistic creation. None of which I already have at home. So I'll have to build up my arsenal after lots of researching and price comparing. Thank you so very much for sharing. I subscribed in the first 5 minutes of watching, so I'm going to check out your other videos now.
One of the finest dioramas Ive ever seen. This video is really really good. You can learn a lot of techniques and learn about a lot of products and what you can do with them. I guess the 48 thumbs down were a result of jealousy. Peace
36 of them were just angry that they couldn't get permission to go fishing there. I heard a couple of them mumbling about it being a "hotspot" or something.
Watched this entire video with my mouth open, drooling a bit onto my notepad. This is the best choreographed and edited lesson on TH-cam, bar none. If anyone has difficulties with painting oceans (esp Atlantic Ocean that changes on a blink) and seas and beaches, this video has incredible instructions on color and form and even lighting (with the glossy resin mix). So impressed, will watch again and again as a master class. Thank you so very much ... lovely background music (not intrusive), terrific audio balance, the closed captioned details, and straight-forward product info ... wow. Checking out Patreon right now!
I watch one of your videos every night before I go to sleep, I've never seen or known anything else that has given me such content and peace. You are helping people in ways more than you'd ever know Thank you
Thank you so much. I started making these because I found watching videos like this so relaxing when I was suffering with mental health issues, so I'm so happy to know you find them helpful.
Dude, you're extremely talented. I'm currently making a diorama and I've just been bingeing your videos for tips because you obviously know what you're doing.
Hey Merrick. Terrific work. This is the greatest hobby ever. Here's an idea I just tried and it works. After the resin pour hardened, I used gloss medium on top of the resin along the river's edge. Then my grass applicator. It looks like grass growing [IN] the water. I lightly added leaves to look like other plant growth in the water too. Cheers everyone !
It is absolutely crazy how talented and patient you are! Your models make great inspiration and give off such a wonderful vibe. The model itself is so detailed and amazing. Keep up the excellent work!
I just found these videos and really want to watch them. Each time I try I fall into sleep, it's just so relaxing to watch, and it's honestly helping me overcome sleeping problems I've developed recently. Thank you for the lovely videos! I am sorry I keep falling asleep, but it just means I'll keep watching over and over.
As somebody who has had to make all kinds of landscapes/debris-scapes etc over the decades I have to say this is one of the very best and deeply nuanced builds I've ever seen (and, as they say, I've seen a lotI). Beautiful work. I am now dealing with making a miniature alien-ish jungle that has to "behave" in reaction to high winds and lashing rains (jangling leaves, vines etc), that has to hold together for quite a while under a lot of physical, mini-storm torture without disintegrating (or at least with minimal disintegration). It has to work in moderate forced perspective...I sure look forward to the continued work on this...and find your detail, patience and acute visual skills a real inspiration (Also confirms that I am not the one lone landscape "nut" around). Thank you for your extraordinary posting.
Beautifully done! Your voice along with your choice of music is so relaxing. I could watch you all day. Thank you for the tutorial and also for exposing me to some of the synthetic materials I've never seen before! Awesome! Liked and subscribed!
Hi Merrick, I'm always in awe of how you can create dioramas. I just can't imagine being able to take all of the different materials that you use and know that in the end it will look fantastic. Wonderful video as always!
I don't know how in the world I got here,... I was watching political news. But what an enjoyable video!!! I so appreciate art and creativity... and the workmanship is incredible!! Kudos to your work and eye for detail.
OMGOSH! Wished I watched this first before buying Water Waves Gel. I never knew Mod Podge can have the same effect. Thank you so much for showing use how to do this. I am so in love with resin lately. Oh, I love how you say Lolly stick! I have no accent, sad to say. God Bless and be safe, debs from Texas
Your explanations as you work were so informative. I was mesmerized as you worked. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful project. I work with miniature rooms and I'm thinking I might have to create a riverside cottage for my next project! So inspired!
wow I'm a beginner and this scenery is really exciting esp as I live in Scotland with plenty of water to replicate , thanks for sharing your expertise.
It gets no better than this. Great video, great work, great results, great attitude. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge. Incredibly realistic, explained perfectly and cheerfully. Kudos.
@@HighEyeWorkshop I believe in Occam's razor and telling it like it is, good or bad. Some truths are inescapable. I appreciate your courtesy, but I see my previous comment more as accurate than kind, but I will gracefully accept your thanks. I am a fan of modeling and have been my whole life; an early paradigm being John Allen (G&D RR). The following is a bit of a tribute to his memory as well as to The Glimmer Twins (and the simian quartet): th-cam.com/video/I1KF6uvP74k/w-d-xo.html
Mate, you've done a great job. Different technique to others but the results are just as good and in some ways even a little better. I have been searching to try and find someone who can make a weeping willow. Bloody ripper. Now for the second challenge, how about a peppercorn tree? I've only just stumbled on your site and I want to see more. Your havin' a go and that's the important thing. All the best
11:33 that looks really good, like a recently dried up river bed. I love the water features in models. They’re my favorite because they always have a large amount of depth. It feels like it’s the easiest part, or rather feel like you don’t need a huge amount of specialized equipment like you do with the grass.
This is an absolutely stunning creation, well done you for your attention to detail. Have you thought about working in media - you certainly have the talent.
Wow! I am amazed at the level of detail. Have you ever thought about making a standalone diarama in something like a Bonsai pot? A little slice of world framed by the glazed pot.
Outstanding job! Watching your videos always makes me want to start doing this right away! Hopefully someday soon I’ll be able to start. Thank you for sharing your work with us. 😍
This guy is insane. Some of your shots look like actual photos of running water. Incredible.
Its looks like something ILM would have done in the 70s/80s orbthat I'd see if a Model Railroading magazine about scenics. So amazing.
Как будто наблюдаешь за работой Творца. Потрясающе реалистично. Спасибо, это прекрасно
BRAVO. I have never seen anything so realistic or beautiful in my entire life, and I'm 72-years old. This surpasses CGI, photo realistic painting, anything. This is true art... amazing!!!
😊
wth? This is gonna be one of those I watch 50 times! Amazing and so inspirational!
Dude. That's insane. This has to be the most real looking model white water river I've seen yet.
Yes
He is totally a talented man
in total agreement.

I'm not even a modeler and still I was transfixed. Great job and exceptional talent. Hat's off to you.
Thank you 😊
I love it how he starts from a simple foam and turns into a very realistic miniature sceneries...
I just found one of these hyper realistic models in my recommended and now I’m addicted to these videos
When I saw the video I didn’t really know about dioramas so I thought this was REAL so probably a good sign
best water effects I've seen in modeling. Really first class.
I wish I could just shrink and live inside your little models. They're so calming to look at.
Completely captivated! I won't even pause it to take a much-needed bathroom break!
Please do 😂

I am stunned at the beauty and realism in your water. I have seen a bit of modeled water and non matches your work here. Amazing!

Robert Ray, true, so much information. I’ve never seen that type of foam before, for example.
Luke Towan is another great TH-cam channel with similar results like this one! I'm not sponsoring him by the way.
Allways some jealous trolls unfortunally. Just ignore them and carry on is my tip.
36 of them were just angry that they couldn't get permission to go fishing there.
I heard a couple of them mumbling about it being a "hotspot" or something.
This is the kind of art that I love. The randomness of nature means that the details make it.
It is obvious you loved this project -- the resulting rolling river is AHHHH-MAAAZING!!
Thank you 😊
Looking at that, I could actually hear the water rushing over the rocks, and hear the birds singing and chirping in the trees! Very well done.

You really make me want to start making dioramas, such a wonderful medium.
Fantastic - great fun to watch. The water looks excellent but I also like the way you made weeping willow. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, the resulting water was stunning, certainly looks real. A lot of time and skill. Thanks for posting .
Dude, you're extremely talented. I'm currently making a diorama and I've just been bingeing your videos for tips because you obviously know what you're doing.
Once I get the necessary supplies, I have to do at least one of these. Things like this really bring life to a room
If only there were more videos. Keep up the good work

A very gifted artist with nice voice. Loved it.
Kind words. Thank you!
Carajo , que trabajo taaaaan espectacular😢😢😢😢😢, felicitaciones eres increíble
It is absolutely crazy how talented and patient you are! Your models make great inspiration and give off such a wonderful vibe. The model itself is so detailed and amazing. Keep up the excellent work!
Your attention to detail is fabulous! I grew up around rivers and love moving water...I'm a miniaturist of houses but am really enjoying your work!

This is sooo inspiring and realistic, I can't wait to have a go, thankyou so much, your really talented.
Wow. That looks insanely photo-realistic.
I am completely blown away! This is so beautiful and realistic! What a craftsmanship. 🤩

Thank you so much! That means a lot.
if i had the space to make rivers, i would be doing them all the time. there’s just something about blowing the mod podge around that makes it so fun.
I love the static grass application / effect 😯. Looks great x
It's messy, but fun!
@@HighEyeWorkshop 👍😀 x
bro this is so good. like. what the heck. i’ve been watching you everyday since last week what the heck this is so cool!
Excellent. I think your water effects are getting better each time. This was super realistic.
Thank you. I'm trying different types of water and materials to try to prove you can make water many ways and end up with a great result.
Beautifully done! Your voice along with your choice of music is so relaxing. I could watch you all day. Thank you for the tutorial and also for exposing me to some of the synthetic materials I've never seen before! Awesome! Liked and subscribed!
The whole project is incredible but that water is next level awesome!!!
Thank you so much
This is absolutely breathtaking.
Outstanding work
SO INTERESTING TO WATCH...BEAUTIFULLY PUT TOGETHER OR, SHALL I SAY ....CREATED!!!!! VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION. Thank you.
Thank you!
Hi Merrick,
I'm always in awe of how you can create dioramas. I just can't imagine being able to take all of the different materials that you use and know that in the end it will look fantastic. Wonderful video as always!
Your a fantastic artist.. I make miniature wooden fairy tree trunk houses and your work has give me some brilliant ideas. Thankyou for sharing x
Simply stunning; the water is ultra realistic, thank you for sharing x
Thank you 😊
Beautiful scenery! Looks so realistic, your attention to detail is astounding.
Thanks!
Hello Merrick, another wonderful tutorial. The rolling river is absolutely stunning. Thanks. See ya next time.
Oh my gosh using bark for rocks is a genius idea!!
Reminds me of flyfishing for trout in Colorado. Simply amazing.
I thought I saw a trout jump by one of the rapids.
Truly 😍 the MOST amazing piece of artistry I’ve ever seen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the attention to detail 😆WOW
Yet another piece of amazing work. I love the details in the water and the trees. Hope you make more of these scenes. Cheers from Malaysia.
I don't know how in the world I got here,... I was watching political news. But what an enjoyable video!!! I so appreciate art and creativity... and the workmanship is incredible!! Kudos to your work and eye for detail.

Wow super realistic model 😲. Keep making these beautiful models. Stay connected friend. Big thumbs up 👍❤️💯
Just came upon this by chance. I'm not a modeler, but I am amazed at the results you got. Just amazing!
Very impressive, like a 3D oil painting !!
Wow! That was the most fascinating model build I have seen in ages. Outstanding.
Wow stumbled upon this today, whatever form of art u call this I LOVE. U are the best at what u do.
Thank you!
Bravo! Quelle magnifique réalisation! Merci de nous en faire profiter avec cette vidéo!
My compliment from France!
This is absolutely gorgeous. It's amazing how life like it is. Just beautiful!
Simply amazing, so realistic, you’ve got this down so well. You could do studio movie work.
wow I'm a beginner and this scenery is really exciting esp as I live in Scotland with plenty of water to replicate , thanks for sharing your expertise.
That thumbnail is mind blowing... Amazing detailed work.
Wow wonderful very beautiful hill river 💖💖💖💖💖💖 I like this river 💕💕💕💕💕💕

I'd love to see a creation of Loch Ness or Morar with Nessie and or a Kelpie.
Im amaze on your art of making that realistic river,,youre good and creative
Fascinating, brilliant realism, and a nice calming watch...great stuff.
Beautiful and very realistic. Good job going through the how to details.
I love it ! Very realistic !! I made a lot of miniature, but your way to make trees, and this Beautifull river !!! Wow ! Amazing job!
I found this very helpful. The finished results are amazing

I was completely fascinated and I really want to try making this
This is an absolutely stunning creation, well done you for your attention to detail. Have you thought about working in media - you certainly have the talent.
I came here from Boylei Hobby Time's recommendation on one of his videos. Wow. I am impressed! That looks amazing.
Watching the river transform as the resin poured was soooo satisfying.
Scary to do it, though!
Gorgeous, impressive and realistic water effects, inpirationnal work!
A Bonsai-ic piece of Art. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Stefan
Wow! I am amazed at the level of detail. Have you ever thought about making a standalone diarama in something like a Bonsai pot? A little slice of world framed by the glazed pot.
I can imagine easily the sound and the odor of this river! what an incredible work you have done! congratulations! :)
Now that's cool. Impossible to recreate, but that doesn't matter. Could still make a fun project. Big thanks for sharing.
