If you liked this video then you'll definitely want to check out the *'Working with Resin (Rivers & Oceans)'* Playlist, it has all the tutorials that have water features in the scene and will give you a really good understanding of all the tips and techniques when working with resin: th-cam.com/play/PLA1bRusvoCbR1h9Xz5DwW9AuyiaTvzw6B.html
If you want to go the extra mile of details: just add a bit of the white snow mass around the feet of the bear and behind the rocks (downstream) where air bubbles would be sucked down into the water. Overall, just amazing! Your work is stonishing me again and again.
@@Seelenschmiede Great tip! I will be working on a snorkeling scene in the not too distant future and I'll be trying to simulate bubbles coming out from the snorkeler as they float to the surface... I might give your idea a shot and see how it looks 😉
Hello im Juan Pablo Automotive Engineer. Nice to meet you, excuse me I would like to help with this fantastic passion. Could you consider me to design objects or whatever thing you need to print in 3D? Thanks and greetings from Mexico City. :)
Hey Luke, you should do a diorama of the Australian bushfires to raise awareness and maybe get people to donate, or have the proceeds of the video go to the RFS or something. Love your work mate, keep it up
Luke every video with bubble popping with a torch “ just make sure you don’t set your trees on fire” Me “ he’s done it at least once” Also me: I wanna see that blooper!
Seems like we haven't heard from him since last year. As always a lovely build Luke, and a question have you ever thought of doing a space scene like moonbase alpha in space 1999?.
@@BoulderCreekRailroad A few weeks ago, in german tv was a series of an extreme fisherman - fishing everywhere in the world. He said, from northeastern australia westwards the continent started an invasion of poisonous toads, which had been brought from south america long years ago and it's impossible to stop them. Is that true? 😳😳😳 Please excuse my bad english, i'm trying my best
@@nick111 Read the other comments mate your doing better than most. Also yes, their a pest. I believe they were intentionally introduced to combat the insects that bothered the crops, however the insects attacked a few feet above ground making it nothing more than a disaster
My favourite detail in this is how the ripple effect on the surface of the water projects ripple light patterns onto the river bed exactly as it would do in real life. Stunning
My brother (12, almost 13) and me (20) are just now getting into scenery building together. We always like making art together and we've had this on our bucket list for a long while and you are one of our biggest inspirations and learning channels. Thank you for the in depth explaining and amazing building!!!!!
Been looking forward to this one! Well, I've seen it actually from your Patreon, but I was looking forward to it! Stunning execution. Congrats, Luke. You are the guv'nor. Merrick
Thanks Merrick, the water scenes are certainly a lot of fun to make! You too have some of the best water scenes I've seen! Keep up the hard work and I'm really interested to see if you do some wargaming terrain, I used to make warhammer terrain when I was younger... it was terrible but it was still a lot of fun to build!
I'll probably be focussing on display bases as I don't have room for terrain, but I do have some hills I made and can now cast in resin. Just waiting for this dratted laryngitis to settle down!
Oh yeah being sick is no fun at all, I hope it settles down for you very soon! I watch a lot of LukesAPS and The Terrain Tutor who do a lot of wargaming terrain, it's been so long since I did any wargaming modelling but I still find it very interesting 😉
@@BoulderCreekRailroad cheers, Luke. Yeah, I like those guys, too. Mike from Terranscapes was my favourite wargame terrain builder. Sadly he's no longer making videos. His oceans and modular boards were captivating.
With all the negative things going on right now, I’m really thankful for channels like yours. Really inspiring to watch you create beautiful scenes like this one.
I find it fascinating to watch an artist at work, who takes the time to explain in detail, what & why they do things. This is almost like watching a Bob Ross video.
I usually watch diorama videos to fall asleep so i never see the outcome because im long gone. Tonight i drank an energy drink to close to bedtime and couldnt sleep. So i watched this from start to finish, this is HANDS DOWN the best diorama i have seen on youtube. I cant believe how real everything looks! Deffinetly deserved my follow!
Years of patience, dedication and knowledge is what is required to build a diorama like that, and do not forget skill. I am a modeller, but never tried a diorama yet. Would rather watch a few more of your videos and start with a simple idea first, then build up to more technical techniques. Some of that gear and equipment looks expensive though.
Ur Litterally one of the best Diorama builders I have seen so far. I love ur sense of detail and the way u explain what u do for dummies like me... Thumbs up!
I have an acreage and I keep watching the woodsy type ones. I am slowly collecting supplies and bits and pieces of things. Someday I will make a diorama of my property. Something I have wanted to do for a long time. I am so glad I found this channel. The sceneries are amazing!
I had a funny moment a little while ago when I was shopping for acrylic paint but all the proper brands of modeling paint were too expensive for me at the time, so i go into ned's and my mum says why are we going to all these different shops and brands aren't they just the same and i say i watch BCR with Luke Towan and he uses specific brands of paint and seams to get good results from them. So i end up picking up a pack of the exact same brand and type of paint he used for the base coat in this video. 😅 P.s. are you from Adelaide? Kind regards Reuben.
That's what I really love about your pieces, they are so realistic it is unbelievable! This piece is awesome! I still alike looking at a photo of this area in reality. Beautiful place!
Thanks for sharing I always say this kind of art work needs to be in a museum for many to look at and if the artist's want to sale there work they can then put some money back into the building and the security that will have to watch it.
Nice water work and subject matter. Understory should be calamogrostis Kenaica, like six foot tall grass by salmon season. It's where the bears dry off, eat, and sleep, and makes for exciting travel in the woods! Nice work!
I’ve been building some micro-dioramas in 1/300 scale, usually roughly two inches by two inches in size, and the skills he uses are indeed transferable in different scales. Apart from resin. Usually you are better off painting water and applying gloss varnish than using a small amount of resin (in very small scales).
You could use L-shaped bars for the edges you pour epoxy for. You can oil/lubricate the sides facing in; clean smooth mold results, easy release. You can clamp them down on the corner's edge of a table. Or pour hot wax around the perimeter of your bars to lock them in place anywhere on the table. You can shape a minimal amount of clay in the sharp inside corners--to prevent leakage of the epoxy. Might save in prep time.
Fantastic Luke! I also have to add, your video skills are one if the best on the tube! Do you have help or it's all you making these awesome productions? Cant wait for the next one!

@@BoulderCreekRailroad A sunken warship would be good - would a styrene model kit melt in the resin?
I love how he says "we placed" or "what we just did". makes me feel included
It's called the Royal We. Used by humans for the same reason for centuries. Particularly royalty, thus the name.

Love your work mate, keep it up
That's a really great idea!
Love that idea!!
raise awareness of the threat of Doomers aka arsonists and environmentalists?
That's a great idea...
I say "aye"
Luke every video with bubble popping with a torch “ just make sure you don’t set your trees on fire”
Me “ he’s done it at least once”
Also me: I wanna see that blooper!
wow, that might be a great idea, has luke got bloopers ? That could be as entertaining as the behind the scenes video !
Damn its only been one month? It felt like a decade.
lol... yeah I know! I watch some other creators who only post monthly and it feels like ages! I'm glad you enjoy the videos 😉
I agree lol....I've been checking in every 2 days. Feels like a year since Luke's last post !
@@BoulderCreekRailroad One of the only channels I ring the bell for, keep it up!
Seems like we haven't heard from him since last year.
As always a lovely build Luke, and a question have you ever thought of doing a space scene like moonbase alpha in space 1999?.
this is a joke
Thanks Luke,
hope you and your family are doing well during the outbreak
stay save brother.
Thanks Iwang, we live in the tropics in northern Australia which is safe from the fires at the moment.

Yeah, we have enough of that currently and in recent times.

This isn’t a gender reveal party
incredible. the painted plastic along the edges is a very nice touch, looks super professional.
I live for this guy's videos. It's very calming. And the perfectionist inside me just loves his attention to detail. Great job as always🙌🏻🙌🏻

You're the most talented scenery builder I've seen over the past 6 years. I wait patiently for your videos. Thanks for sharing your skills with me.
After watching several of your videos, I am now looking at the real world through model builder's eyes!

You went in on this one. THE SALMON!
Watching the master at work and learning so much from the experience, thanks, Luke.
Luke, you continue to amaze and inspire us. Thanks a mill for another great year at Boulder Creek!
I am a simple man. I see upload in this channel, I click...
lol I don't think you're the only one 😄
the process of making a diorama is so fascinating
Years of patience, dedication and knowledge is what is required to build a diorama like that, and do not forget skill. I am a modeller, but never tried a diorama yet. Would rather watch a few more of your videos and start with a simple idea first, then build up to more technical techniques. Some of that gear and equipment looks expensive though.
You have some of the best skills I've ever seen, really great video. Love watching you working away at your craft, brilliant, cheers.
Thanks for the awesome compliment, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos 😉
Genuinely no one I get more excited to watch lol
Here is a really good idea!!
Do a model of a sunken ship, Or a city line, or the Sydney Opera House
I think his work is best for natural scenes not urban tbh
Worth a shot tho
This underwater moments are one of my favs u ever did! O.O
Ur Litterally one of the best Diorama builders I have seen so far. I love ur sense of detail and the way u explain what u do for dummies like me... Thumbs up!
25:02 very nice, even realistic looking water refractions with the right lighting
bruz words cannot describe the level of talent you have. bravo, i cannot believe what my eyes are seeing

Damn, I love dioramas with water, especially if you can see under the water as well!
"Just make sure you do NOT set your trees on fire" This makes me believe that you have done that already a couple of times... 😂🤣
This is my favorite of your dioramas. I personally reckon it's your best.
the resin part is the best part of every video
This is the second time I watched this and still I am amazed how skilled you are in making this diorama
He has come a loooooooong way
"German Grey"
Oh, I see, Feldgrau.
Such a patience...so impressed
OMG... That was so beautiful.... I don't have words to describe ❤
INCREDIBLE diorama!!
You are the best model diorama builder i have seen! Literly
Great tip using the airbrush to ripple the modpodge.
Patience of a saint.
Amazing work Luke. You are the modern day Malcolm Furlow
! ♥️♥️♥️ Thanks for the awesome videos!
Outstanding video as always, that tip of using numbered pegs for the trees is genius.
This is wild. If I didn't see him make it with my own eyes, and seen it close up; I would have thought it was a picture
This does not look like serious modeling... No Holy Blocks were used.
I've been exposed 😬 Only true modelers use holy blocks...
Never disappointed with a Towan vid. Well done.
Wow! That's beautiful! Now I wanna go camping! Thanks for sharing!

Just one word for you mate........GOAT!!!!!!
YOUR STILL MAKING VIDEOS 🥺 IM SO HAPPY I USED TO WATCH YOU WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL I THOUGHT YOU WERE SO COOL😂
As a Warhammer 40K player I'd love to see what you could do with your mindblowing skills with a Warhammer 40k diorama. :O

Great use of the word undulation. another solid build!
Fantastic Luke..... Inspirational!
Absolutely beautiful!
That mod podge bottle bounced a bit too close to the resin's edge there. Great video, excellent finish. Thanks!

Good job mate
Nice!!

Thanks for the great video
Great artistic and technical expertise.
Really like how you do the fish - I'd been trying to work out the best way of getting that effect.
