Luke Towan, I’m thinking of how you could make the building visually interesting since it is just a big glass slab after all. Thoughts include: - Glass lookout box like the Sears Tower - Blinking red lights at the tip of the communications antennas which will inevitably be put on top - Helicopter landing pad, with appropriate blinking lights and helicopter with spinning rotors - Plaza at entrance of building, with manicured trees, flower boxes, a water feature/splash pad (with dog playing in water jets), flicks of pigeons, street musician, food truck? - Window washer platform dangling off the side You could cram so much stuff into this one!
Model New York City skyline coming soon? Imo, the mix between the ambient led's and detailed room led's looks alot more realistic from a modern standpoint. Not everyone buys the same type of lightbulb so it makes it seem as if there's a mix between incandecent and cfl bulbs in each unit. Mixed with your tape idea it would be very believable.
yeah that is very true, I did think about leaving it as it was but in the end I made them to be a similar color. But yeah for a more modern building the variation would probably be good... heck, I've got two different colored bulbs in our lounge room! One in each light fixture...
This was my sentiment exactly... Varying the lighting color hue does, indeed, make for far more convincing lighting. I wonder how much of a pain in the posterior a flickering fluorescent effect might be from a hallway or service entrance, etc... Just a stray thought, mind you. lol :)
Everytime i see these videos i can't believe the sheer amount of time and patience it takes to assemble such a beast. I applaud you for the time invested for a single video, extremely enjoyable and satisfying to watch.
Having followed him since almost the beginning, it's never as simple as a kit. He always go waaaaay past what the kit provides. He's the best model maker/railroad hobbyist on TH-cam.
Luke: "Most of the interior detail will be hard to see, so I don't spend too much time painting them." Also Luke: *Paints them in detail anyways* omg, this piece was worth the wait. keep it up! 💕
Luke is no doubt a fantastic model and scenery builder, as well as an excellent presenter. Love all his videos, sorry but he's not on the level of PLASMO. Maybe if Luke ventures into military modeling someday, he'll prove me wrong. It's a great accolade to apply to Luke, but not fitting. Two different levels of talent here.
@@WHJeffB Well if we're splitting hairs I'd say their craft is different enough that neither is better or worse. Ebroin on the other hand is on a WHOLE OTHER level I think we can agree 😉
@@Jesse__H Nah, don't get me wrong, Luke is amazing, but Plasmo is so much better. This build didn't take much skill, just time, most modellers could do it. Plasmo's work is pure skill and talent, most people will never reach that level.
@@Susman-mb6hq I'm seein a lot of love for PLASMO in this thread which is cool, but don't sleep on Ebroin! I saw PLASMO himself say he's nowhere close to Ebroin's level in a comment section one time...
The level of detail on a big scale is amazing. Can't wait for a similar project. Maybe do a busy hospital to honour all the medical staff during covid 19 and auction it. Could make a pretty penny and add to your profile.
if a robber ever breaks into your house with the intention of stealing models, they'll spend so much time gawking at the amount of detail and realism that they'll forget why they broke in and leave
Robber: "What a talented potential victim... I shall discontinue my robbery and attain a new hobby of crafting!!! ( Robber breaks into Hobby Lobby instead)
Filming and editing the whole process must've taken a lot of effort, let alone building the actual model. Thanks Luke, really enjoyed this one. Stellar job!
That;s funny...I do that as well as I've been watching awhile and even went back to watch the previous vids that I'd missed...he's definitely helped me up my game as I build 1/10th scale RC accessories...
On our next modeling adventure, we're going to make an ultra-realistic diorama of the entire city of Tokyo. seriously though this model is an incredible achievement.
Blimey, the patience you must have to do this project, I can imagine it would get on to peoples nerves to have a repeating progress that repeats on and on till you're at the top level of the construction. Hats off though, this looks super sweet, almost too real with the outside shots. Now all you need is a underground parking garage diorama and you got it set. 👍🏻
lol yeah that was the hardest part about building this... all the repeated steps! I think taking photos of any scale model outside makes a huge difference to the realistic look, I think it has to do with the shadows and color of the natural light 😉
As a VFX guy, I do have to admit that an actual miniature is really cool. Then again, I also dabble in SFX make-up and prop building. So I’m a bit biased! But I could totally see me building this kit some day and running some high frame rate cameras and doing an ID4 with it :)
I have never put a model together of anything from cars to buildings . . . maybe legos, maybe, but not this much detail. I watched the entire video. It's so interesting and intricate. The only thing I've ever done that is close to this was when I was a teen I spent hours on making a board game. Hours. I hand drawn a lot of the board and made character cards. It was a lot of work I wanted to do, If you looked at it, it didn't look too awesome, but I was proud of it.
@@BoulderCreekRailroad You might look into brushes used in (finger) nail art. There are super-fine ones used for striping and tiny detail work. A lot of doll customizers use them for super fine details like eyelashes. Thanks for another great video!
I chuckled when you mentioned saving sanity, I must admit. You might see if you can find a Model Railroader article I recall from back in the {cough} 1980's from an author that went to great lengths painting figures, including detailed eyes, etc. I simply have to draw a line at some point and say, "Good enough..." Unless it's something I'd like to photograph closely, then I'm equally OC. lol Beautiful work!
@@BoulderCreekRailroad You should build and film each separate building/scene, yet have them all fit together when your done to make one big interconnected diorama.
You should try some fantasy scenes! Perhaps Cyberpunk or Steampunk, or even something medieval like a castle! Your work never fails to impress me, and your videos are such a joy to watch, very relaxing :)
Oh my god this is the one I’ve been waiting for. Not since Mad Max have I been so excited about a film from down under. But I don’t want to sound like a total bogan!
Here’s a quick tip: when using the applicator bottle, fill it 3/4 full and squeeze the bottle to remove the air. Then, tip the bottle over and slowly unsqueeze the bottle as you run it along the glue joint. This prevents the glue from flowing out too quickly and getting everywhere!
@Yeezy Slayz LMFAO Edit: The original inspiration is from new york and there's literally a twin next to it. Your comment gets better the longer I watch.

The latest Blade Runner is all scale models for the city scapes and it's amazing. Scale models are certainly used these days as a lot of film makers realize pure CGI just don't look right often.
I must agree with that, it's realy hard to make CGI look that good, and old movies with actual models is a pice of art in it's own that can not realy be replaced by computer modelling.
"Furniture won't be visible, so I won't paint them in too much detail".
Paints in the most amazing detail, like books and bedsheets of different colors.

@@BoulderCreekRailroad but why? you did all the work to only cover it with some curtains.. i don't understand it

Bro hatsoff to your hardwork
TH-cam had zero reason to recommend me this. But I aint mad.
I think movies need to start using models again. Our eyes sre too use to cgi to be fooled by them anymore.
The latest Blade Runner is all scale models for the city scapes and it's amazing. Scale models are certainly used these days as a lot of film makers realize pure CGI just don't look right often.
I must agree with that, it's realy hard to make CGI look that good, and old movies with actual models is a pice of art in it's own that can not realy be replaced by computer modelling.
You don't notice 95% of the CGI in movies
@10:13 that's just cruel. All the other figures in that building are blind and cannot see the detail you have created.
Too many amazing people in youtube, your one of them man
Excellent work for both: the quality clip and astonishing model. Thanks for sharing
