I don't even care for modeling. I find it relaxing to watch these videos though. I think I enjoy the thought process involved in replicating items from everyday objects. I noticed the chain link fence in the back drop, and I knew how it was made. I just like the clever ideas involved. A bonus for me is that if my child ever needs a diorama made for school, I'm golden.
Thanks Jerry :) I get quite a lot of people who don't actually do any modelling but just enjoy watching the video. I remember making plenty of dioramas as a kid for school :)
Cheers
Luke
Jerry Whidby kind of like watching Bob Ross!
puts me to sleep
Between this, Clickspring, and Primitive Technology, the Aussies sure have the relaxing videos down.
Love primitive technology too
This channel is addicting.
Did you mean: *addictive*
@@ThumpertTheFascistCottontail grammar nazi!
I know right? I have no interest in ever doing any of this stuff that I watch either LOL.
HAY ....... what a great tutorial luke
Hay quá :))
+boltuss2006 lol, I wish I had a witty reply......... nope I got nothing :)
Cheers
Luke
I was thinking of ANY way to make this faster. I came up with a blender, putting your leaf mix on a toilet paper roll, but none are super effective.
dear Luke stumbled by accident upon your channel and you've inspired me greatly. I'm going to create my own dioramas with help of your videos. For my first project I'd like to create an fenshui Japanese garden. I bought the Woodland coarse ballast light grey do you think this is the best option for a gravel garden? Kind regards
boltuss2006 clever I like it
Man, Luke, you are an incredibly inventive person! Your techniques and solutions are brilliant!
Wow! This dude has remarkable patience.
I'm a huge admirer of his talent. Absolutely amazing!!!!
I'm in love with channel! I've watched about half the videos on here, and I think this is the only one I could do myself 🙃.
Not a Model Railroader here but I happened upon your Channel. This is amazing what you do! Im enjoying just watching your creativity, Thanks!
Tom Langley
Lol.... Me too , but I'm trying out some of these tips , just to do it ..
Pretty soon , I'll have enough miniature things ,,, i could put together in a theme .
👍👍
I dont get tired watching your videos.I really admire the precision and the patience you have.Keep like this,i really like to watch it.
simply amazing, your work is exceptional
Luke Towan is OP. All these tutorials are quite simple but very creative and fun, great results for those who aren't very advanced but have at least some practice in the way of scenery crafting/model building, and even new people can enjoy these with rather nice results
I am going to try this for our layout. My Wife has made chain link fence from Luke's video and it came out great! Nice job Luke. Keep giving us more ideas please!
I don't know anything about modeling and I find this fascinating! Awesome!
I just subscribed after watching 2 videos, fantastic ideas and work. I do armour modelling and am just about to start my first diorama and your tips will certainly come into play. Thanks for sharing.
I just subscribed after watching 1 video, outstanding experience!
Thanks guy's :) Good luck on your first diorama :) I'm sure it will be awesome :)
to make them more realistic squash them a bit because round bales are not purfectly round they always have some flat spot under them
Also non belt balers cannot roll bales so perfectly, they leave a squished knot shape in the middle. So if I wanted to make it a bit more realistic, I won't use tweezers, but just push a bunch of tape together, and start rolling afterwards.
Purrfect!! Meow 😂
Another really creative and original idea Luke - thanks!
Have to say you made that look so easy yet I would never have thought of that in a thousand years, thanks for a great video, this will definitely be one I use on my set up.
Thanks again mate :) it's pretty tedious but the results speak for themselves!
Cheers
Luke
That's very interesting; I never thought of chopping twine to make hay. Great job!
Yes, they do look fantastic. 60 years I have been around and never in my wildest dreams would I have come up with this idea. Now, if I make a farm for my train layout someday, this knowledge will come in very handy.
+DocLaw172 thanks for the great comment, sometimes I surprise myself with the ideas that pop into my head! Not all of them end up looking this good though...
Cheers
Luke
Youre videos are AMAZING!!
Awesome tutorial...You have just helped make my barnyard look so much more realistic...Thanks!
These are so cute! What a great item for hobby stores!
You have an AMAZING fantasy and eye for the different things to use. Love it 👍
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the videos 😊
Because I'm building a farm scene for my HO layout, I'm again revisiting one of your videos as I have forgotten much since I last viewed. I use my fine jute string for many purposes and will use it once again for this project. Crack on, mate. I really like your mods to the North West Shore Line chopper as I have the same one. Plenty of popsicle sticks and straws. Cheers from eastern TN
Incredible model!
Very good video. I made a few of these bales but did not have any CA glue on hand and the glues I did have did not stick well to the back side of the tape. Therefore, I tied a thin thread around the bale at both ends and it looks good. In photographs of round bales, sometimes you can see the twine that holds them together and other times you can not. So I guess tieing them is still fairly prototypical.
Back in the 70's, I did some modeling and now that I am retired, I am back at it again. Your videos are very inspirational. I enjoy them very much. Thank you.
Great idea. I used a bit thinner tape and only half as long. Works perfect for n scale
Amazing craftsmanship and patience
Thanks Reza 😊
Love this idea! They look amazing
Another great and simple "How to" tutorial.....Thanks for sharing Luke !!!
Cheers Mate,
Danny
+Danny Laguer No worries Danny, thanks for watching :)
Cheers
Luke
I wrapped the bales with two pieces of heavy, Brown or Tan thread the tied them off. They look pretty good, great video, thanks for sharing......
thanks luke, you give us some great hints at low cost.i'm feeling good to be one of your subs.
That is flipping brilliant! You very clever man.
Ingenious technique! Enjoying all of your videos!
Holy hay bails that's amazing how do you ever come up with such realistic ideas!
The result is excellent!
That…is amazing :) Thoroughly enjoying your videos Luke and making my way through them all, picking up lots of tip along the way - thanks for sharing! Adrian
You could make thatched roofs with this method too! Very cool!
this was a great way to make hay bales I just made some!!
Awesome, glad I was able to help and that you made some bales :)
Cheers
Luke
Excellent, thanks for posting. Clear and concise instructions, easy to follow.
No worries mate, glad you liked it :)
Cheers
Luke
WOW!! So easy and with stuff that I have lying around the house/man cave... Thanks Luke great video!!
+stblad3 no worries mate, it's amazing what can be made with stuff just lying around.
Cheers
Luke
Excellent. Only realistic model hay bales I've seen. Foam ones look like foam. Read some of the comments, they do squish at the bottom, and the top, due to their own weight. Here, in Scotland, they soon get a green tinge from grass growing on them, if they're not immediately wrapped in plastic. Have stopped modelling myself. It's good to see the work of others.
holy haymazing, but seriously so effective and ingenious. Looks like real hay bales which were just shrunken down.
Excellent idea. Well done, and very nice video.
Luke another fantastic project and tip. Thank you.
+Peter CPRail8748 Cheers Peter, glad you have been enjoying the videos. I have another one which will be posted tomorrow night on making tall forest pine trees.
Cheers
Luke

Excellent for post- 1970s layouts (I saw Roll bales in Europe before they were introduced to Australia.
Since I model 1930s QGR in 1/48, its rectangular bales for me ( and wheat bags as well).
But good technique for HO, S and O.
Doc AV Brisbane.
Brilliant ! thanks a lot.
Wow, great tutorial. Those look fantastic. We see plenty of those around here in Oklahoma and those are spot on.

matthias de boer I’m sorry, but can u explain to me what a “Haybal” is?
(PS I’m joking. Not a grammar cop)
Thank you so much, now i made first bale and its awesome! Nice tutorial! :-)
I'm a novice at best. Just one interested in the "how right now. I have to say that was just cool.
Thank you for this great tutorial 👍🏼😎👍🏼
that a fantastic idea Luke , will look great on the big Holstein farm I am planning to add to a my train layout ,
+sparky107107 cool, I'm glad I've been able to give you some ideas and inspiration for your farm scene :)
Cheers
Luke
amazing FANTASTIC, wonderful
This is So beautiful!!!
I thought i would make some for my schleich scaled horses but they are quite small heh.. I WILL TRY ANYWAY THIS IS SO GOOD
What I've been watching?
Someone creating a 15 mm hay bale .
And I liked it!
Great way of doing this! Thank you! :-)
Hey Luke, I used 2mm static grass instead of the jute twine, cuts down the construction time immensely.Cheers Bill
Genius! Thanks for sharing 👍
Super technique! Thanks.
Your the best Luke. I love ya.
You've no idea how much I looked forward to a new video from you. And it was worth the wait
+Abshar V.P Wow thanks, I'm glad you enjoy the videos I post. I haven't decided on the next one yet???
Cheers
Luke
Whatever is next, I'm sure its going to be good. All the best for your wonderful channel
That was like watching a magic trick! Great work!
Luke you are a wiz. I have been trying to figure out how to do this, I was part the way there with the twine, but your method really nailed it. well done. I'm going to make heaps, or should I say stacks of em!
Pete
+Peter Pocock lol, thanks Pete, I tried making round bales a few weeks ago but was never happy with the result and then one day this idea just sprung into my head.
Cheers
Luke
Thank you! This is was just amazing ❤️
Gracias, otro maravilloso vídeo. Muchas gracias por enseñarnos tantas cosas
Thanks Miguel 😀
What a great idea ... ;-))
Many thanks for showing and keep up the good work.
thanks mate, glad you liked the video
Cheers
Luke😊
Great job
Great work! Seems like the result of the chopped twine is something that would sell well to scale modellers in general for use like this and in animal pens on farm models too.
+Bewareofthephil good idea :) It takes a while to chop up though! I considered using static grass but wasn't able to get any 1mm grass in time for the video. I guess that could be a future video.
Cheers
Luke
