- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Super detailing a model scene doesn’t have to be hard… With these easy to make hay bales you’ll turn the most basic diorama into an ultra-realistic scene!
Although they take time to make they are very easy to construct and they look fantastic. They work great for model railroads, dioramas and even war gaming terrain! The hay bales shown in the video are made to be HO scale however the scale of these can very easily be adjusted to suite almost any of the popular modelling scales.
Don’t forget to check out www.bouldercreekrailroad.com for more modeling videos and information and if you are enjoying the videos you might like to help support the channel by checking out my patreon page.

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
Have you ever thought of doing a farm scene diorama with buildings and animal vehicles all of the above farm stuff
Who all thought that the video buffered @ 0:26
Not me bc its the old animation
I read this like "What?" then it happened I was like, "Oh, it's loading".
I so got fooled by that and was about to comment about it XD.

Lol, love the opening!!!
thanks Ron 😀
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover model railroad track plan try Panlarko Amazing Railroad Planner (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
same here - LMAO
LOL
This channel has awesome work and editing. sadly youtube doesn't promote hard work...
thanks Jason, I'm glad you managed to find my video 😀
8 minutes and 58 seconds of pure heaven
thanks mate 😀 really glad you enjoyed watching
I get so mesmerized watching these videos.
thanks Jeremy 😀
Thank God for that conclusion at the start! I was worried you'd leave us hanging. The suspension of what will happen to that hay bale was too much.
lol... even though I made the video and I know exactly whats coming I get the same feeling of suspense! 😀
Great job like always. For beginner, vid about making a scratch building from nothing have a just picture, with no dimension/measurement. Learning from you is so easy, thank you
I've been a model railroader for 59 years come next month and your videos never fail to amaze me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and technics with us.
I used to make models...houses, ships, and planes for Department Store displays as a kid. My brother did the cars. I found that dental tools were fantastic and relatively easy to come by. Further, my dad was a machinist so he had access to those magnifying lamps and out of the ordinary hobby tools. Anyway I like the thread over the candle trick...pretty slick. Your displays looked very nice. Thanks for sharing,

The opening was sooooo good !!!!
Who else watches this guys video’s, even though you are not into miniatures, but think these video’s are so satisfying.
Oh man my heart was racing for that opening sequence.
lol 😀glad you liked it Johnny
Luke Towan You're really talented btw. Keep it up!
This channel has the nicest comments and community on youtube.
the most detailed worker I have ever seen
The most famous modelist in the world!
lol thanks Bruno 😀
And definitely one of the most talented...
Fantastic... it bought back some not-so -fond memories of my teenage years working on my Uncle's farm during hay-baling season (summer...). I saw and picked up enough of those things to last more than a lifetime!
Love the little stop motion intro!
Finally hay bales where you do not get hay fever! And this is also an nice video! Thank you!
Thanks for this tutorial. I recently was diagnosed with a terminal illness. It is a slow acting illness, but it progressively wears me down. Being disabled for me is new being that I loved Softball, Baseball, snowboarding, etc. Now, well I was lost. As I sat in the hospital I found You Tube to be a help. I was a collector of Marvel and Star Wars, along with other anime figures. But my love was Hot Wheels. I found videos that did racing. These kept me going. I had every intention of doing a channel when I got home but another 2 bouts of Pneumonia knocked that out. So I was a spectator. Then I saw customizing, AND dioramas. I had a idea if making a downhill track with custom pieces but I didn't know how to start. Your videos give me a place to begin. The fence tutorial I saw in the list will be one for sure. I subbed right of. I'm hoping I can learn some neat tricks. Like for one, Highway Signs or adverts off the road. I'm looking to maybe do those. The photo on it is a simple printer image scaled down but the frame work and base. They are metal base with wood or metal signage. Anyway I wanted to say thanks and just say hey. This illness has nailed me and hit me hard. I really hope I find a way to vent my frustration..lol. I used to hunt for Hot Wheels but now even that's stopped. My body has weakened a LOT and well IT SUCKS. But I'm not one to give up so, I have a decent amount of Hot Wheels. No enough rubber wheels or tires though, but I'm working on it. This WON'T knock me down. Thank you again and you might see a few questions from me. If you havw the time that is. I realize these videos are NOT easy to make. The edits and such are hard and time consuming. So take care and the bales looked great!!
That cutter is so satisfing.
I dream one day get to your level of details. Everything is so meticulous. Is really good watch you work.
Love the wobbly wheel on the farm truck! ;-)
The explosion literally made me laugh out loud--thanks for the fun! I'm not even a model builder but I love watching your videos!
Another great Luke Towan how to video. 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks Wayne 😀
stop motion is great, well done.
thanks Alexander 😀
I learn something new with each video
Thumbs up for the stop motion
you stop motion is really good, couldn't even tell it was stop motion until the bale fell off
I have gotten so many ideas for my own table top layout from watching these videos that I swear by the time its finished people will think it was built by you Luke, except for the quality that is lol.
lol 😀I'm glad you're finding some useful info in the videos. Thanks mate 😀
So the animation at the beginning of this video is basically stunning. I would LOVE to see animation with your other dioramas.
Luke, you are seriously a wealth of knowledge!! So many ideas! I've mentioned, I've been doing this for a long time, but thanks to you, at 53 years old, I'm STILL learning. 😵 Thank you for consistently great content!

I love all the train stuff and modeling
thanks mate 😀
They look really good and I learned a lot watching this video. I love the intro. The bale falling off the moving truck and the engine hitting it were price less. Thanks for sharing this.
Just imagining some veteran watching this like "this craft video should be totally free of things unexpectedly exploding in front of heavy vehicles, perfect for relaxing from my PTSD"
Just a random thought. Great video.
Love the opening scene haha
Luke your skits are funnier than any comedy on TH-cam. I laughed at this one
That buffering got me XD
Nice detail that will fit on any layout. Great video Luke.
Hi Luke ! Excellent work as always ! Abrupt special effects ! Well done !
Like that you have done 2 hay bale vids. These would go great in my countryside layout
Lol. I enjoy watching your channel, it is informative and entertaing. Just love your imaginitive opening scenes! Exploding hay bales! Who knew!
This is art.
i have nothing to do with miniture build but i freaking love to watch these vids. keep up the good work!
Can you make some dioramas in the future of 1 or 2 of these ideas!
-Beach
-Campsite
-Shearing shed
-Mountain hut
-Desert
And maybe something with snow would be cool too!
Great video, thanks Luke. As always your efforts and attention to detail yield fantastic results! You are very creative and talented!
thanks mate 😀
I admire your models. Would love to see you model a golf course!
Beautiful detail in the work and layout. Love the Landy.
Great opening Luke.
I knew that bale was going to fall off the truck! : )
But when the train hit it, well... I didn't see that one coming.
ha ha 😀 I thought that would surprise a few people
It's Friday and I am watching this at my desk...I know, I know...But I just LOL'd so loud when that train blew up. I guess everyone knows I am not busy now. LOL
Nice video and good job with making the suspension of the flatbed truck articulate. Get the right front kingpin checked, though!
Your videos are so satisfying! My new nightly routine 😉
The guy driving the truck better check his right, front wheel bearings because that wheel was pretty wobbly...lol
I love watching your videos. I build 1/35 WWII armor, but I'm hoping to use some of your landscaping techniques on a diorama I'm planning on building for a group build I'm involved with. Keep the videos coming sir!
You are simply a geniusCiao from Italy
These are always so relaxing to me. Keep up the good work!
thanks mate 😀
You got me for a sec at the beginning XD
Another EXCELLENT video from a true Master Modeler. Will definitely be using these ideas for my rural supply store. Might look at getting that truck a wheel alignment though first...Thanks Luke...Always look forward to your ideas...
ha ha ha... yeah I don't think that truck would pass a road worthy test! Thanks mate 😀 glad you enjoyed watching
Engineering these projects are truly genius. Good job Luke!
Always riveting.
I love your work, greetings from Mexico
Very beautiful result, almost as difficult as in real life. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
What a creation.....
That opening scene took some work love it
I love your videos, and I’ve learned so much. I make miniature facades of real buildings. Now I’m ready to create wonderful landscapes for them. Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO
Seriously you are the best modeler out there. No bologna but still so fun. Loved the explosion. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Mr Towan, after your Roll bale, this is exactly what I need...scale up to 1/48 for 0n42 ( QGR) 1930s. Luckily hay and straw bales are standard in all of Australia, due to standardised Baling Machines!
Thanks again DocAV
Brilliant Luke, just brilliant
Nice and simple.
My god, the beginning was like the "To Be Continued..." meme and I love it. These videos are absolutely incredible.
I like the videos that do with the cars! Hope to see more!
These are the perfect hay bales. I can't think of a single thing I would change. They look fantastic. I would however take issue with the fake buffering screen. The internet is broken enough with fake loading screens.
Love it, I'll be trying this for my Christmas decorations with added snow. Thanks
When I first seen this video, I thought oh no he is running a older video, but this is something new, and again you make, making such small details on a layout easy. and picture perfect.
Nice sweater you are wearing,
It's brilliant, as always! Thanks a lot, Luke!
Tried making these haybails and they realy do look awesome,,,thanks
Nice job Luke :)
thanks Shae 😀
Hilarious effects! And great tutorial for making hay bales!
He he he he he said "Down and Under" hurr durr! It's funneh because "down under" is Australia... I'll show myself out.
Excellent video, as always Luke! I don't even build dioramas myself, I just enjoy watching you do it :D
Great video. You make it look so easy. Great job Luke!! Keep the videos coming.
thanks Brad 😀
Good trick at the begining! Like
Gotta make hay while the sun shines
Another 10/10 video
Thor's legendary Hay Bale has the strength to stop a massive train in its tracks!
Creative! Thanks!
Best how to ever!
i enjoyed this intro!
This is great! I use a similar method for creating 1/43 bales
You are very talented
I'm always so surprised by how tiny you manage to make things !
Could you do a video for Christmas? Like some winter christmas forest with a Christmas tree or maybe a town with a huge Christmas tree in the middle?
This was one of the better staged pranks ever! And i watch this old tony! Nuff said
Luke you're techniques are amazing I enjoy your channel.
ADORABLE animation in the beginning. You're putting so much effort in your videos. :)
thank you 😀
As usual Maestro at work !
Really superb channel. I'd love to see a video of Star Wars or military theme diorama.
Luke, thanks once again for another great video!! cheers!!
thanks mate 😀
Just wanted to let you know that I have no interest in taking up this hobby but very much enjoy the videos. I add a lot of them to a "relaxing videos" playlist that I use to play in the lobby of the apartment complex that I manage.
Great work... As usual
I use dried grass clippings glued to a block of wood or anything else that's the shape I want you can't get any more realistic than that a coating of hairspray keeps everything in place
