Brilliant as usual, Luke. The most realistic part was the DHL van cutting off the cyclist at high speed.

28:30 I think she soiled herself. Once (we drive on the right here BTW) I was riding a bicycle downhill and at the bottom there's a curve to the left. If you make the curve too fast, there's a bunch of sand on the right side of the road to greet you. But this was the '90s and I had the worst brakes. Also it was the '90s so no safety gear whatsoever. Anyway, I was just managing this curve and a big camping-out truck comes from behind me, (a) leaving not much room and (b) blowing me off the road. So I voluntarily ditched, and rolled into the sand. I was fine, the bike was fine, the doofus going camping was fine, and I rode home a little slower that day.

Airport scenes are huge. If you have ever been to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg you can see the airport there is as huge as a the cities are. It is about 150 Squaremeters, but still resembles a rather small airport. Even a small airfield would have to be at least 11 m in H0 scale in one direction due to the runway. I think the idea is great, but I don't know whether or not he has the capacity to do this.

Spraying matte sealant overtop of the masking tape so the edges are clean is legitimately a genius technique, I can't believe I've never thought of doing that before!

I learned that painting cars, full sized cars. But I had to see it done in modeling before it dawned on me, it is genius! Just don’t wait too long. If the paint gets too hard it’ll lift off when you pull the tape.

That speed on a residential road is ENTIRELY accurate for a DHL truck

Gorgeous work Luke and I second the fact 3D Printing has been such a game changing tool for the hobby. Also, love the little push/pull switch for the magnarail. I need to give that a go sometime for a steampunk diorama or something😁

“Luke, you have gone farther!” I marvel at the shooting angles of your dioramas where it is so difficult to get the correct sense of scale. At any moment, that Land Rover could start up, some dogs could start barking and now, here you have done it again!

I love how the cyclist moves closer to the curb after passing the cars. Bravo Luke, just fantastic overall.

This is just amazing. Especially in natural light. With the right perspective it’s really difficult to tell it’s not real. Incredible work man, just incredible. Loved every minute of this.

LOL. I think that DHL truck is traveling way too slow for the States. Maybe to add some additional realism, if it could sideswipe a few of the parked cars, that would be great! 🙂

Just have to comment: Well done Mr. Towan!

Thanks for making these videos, makes a lot of people happy.

This model was originally designed and sold by Imagine That Laser Art based in Windsor Ontario. The company was owned and operated by Mark Williams, a local sculptor and model maker. He sold the company to ITLA in Cambridge ON. O scale and HO version was available. .I was fortunate to help Mark on several of his models. The most famous being a 1/48th. full size rendition of the Brooklyn Dodgers Ebbetts Field baseball stadium, since torn down in New York . It was a custom build laser cut excact replica sold to a private collector in California for $175,000. Mark actually designed several of the ITLA buildings.

Well that's where my package is. Stuck in a DHL truck going on a endless loop!

The trucks speed seems right on point for a delivery driver.

Oh man, the little moving parts really take it to the next level. 11/10!

Why do you make this look so easy lol. Phenomenal as always my friend. Looked like the truck almost clipped that girl on the bike lol. So darn cool

i think i watch this like 3 million times!!!

Brilliant, as ever, thank you, this channel is a family favourite!

What's more incredible than these models that you build is how easy you make it all look.

That truck drives quite accurately!

That truck is in a rush to deliver those models!

I liked the way to solve the curtains and the track, pure engineering!

It's DHL, Luke. Drive is fast, delivery is slow. Awesome diorama, mate.

That sponsor integration was awesome lol

Yes Another Video!!!!!!!

ps- just noticed on your ad that you watch The Great Model Railway Challenge - never heard of it before, so will be enjoying that now thanks to you.

Another master class in building a diorama from Luke!

Diorama making is one of the most expensive hobbies but the most satisfying and rewarding when finished.

love your work Luke. What you do takes modelling to another level - amazing!! Thank you

great one! how you slotted in the sponsorship was quite clever too your very good at making these dioramas, and the videos

For the first time since “where’s Wally” started I finally found him once. This whole time I was looking for an actual Waldo figurine. Today is a good day😂

Incredibly meticulous. Your patience is legendary.

Dope as always mate!!! Forget Waldo though, I'd rather have that Talespin Baloo @ 0:35 !!

LUKE...!!! You've done it again! Amazing build...I love all the new techniques you bring every new build. Even though I don't create things....I love how you always include moments of things that don't work or had to be adjusted in some way. That makes you so real and open to anyone who may not be so confident in their abilities. So impressive....and as usual....I'm a proud and satisfied Patreon!!!

Wow Luke, you never cease to amaze me with the work and model building that you do.

This is a fantastic early Christmas present from you, and I hope you have an exceptional one! Take care, and all the best.

Thanks for all the great videos and happy holidays to you!

Beautiful. I'd love to see a post-apocalyptic version of the hotel.

Another fine missive Luke, well done. I reckon a few hay bales wouldn't go amiss!!

Once again, a truly amazing build! Thanks so much for pushing the limits and creating awesome scenes, very inspiring

1:18 doge was like , yeah cheers luke .

Best modeller on KZread. Thanks for the tutorial!

Always excited when I see Luke Towan pop up. I know I'm in for an enjoyable time. Thanks Luke

ever thought about producing a front zipper hoodie with small bcr logo on the front & the full logo on the back . thanks really enjoy your videos , you are extremely talented at what you do .

I love your elegantly simple solutions to the animated vehicle track options. Probably the most unique solution is how you incorporated the NordVPN ad into the showcase sequence at the start of the video - a sponsor's ad I actually enjoyed watching.

Modelling on another level . Great !

Your videos never fail to amaze me, Luke. You're truly an inspiration for me. Thanks for sharing.

Aw that phonebox at the end of the ad is cute!

The editing is so satisfying lol.

The video is one minute in and Luke says 'with a small amount of effort' and I see that box of the hotel with all the tiny pieces and I'm like 'that's not a small amount, not at all'. 😂😂😂😂

Everything you do is always amazing

Gob smacked!!! Amazing work Lukey boy!!!

I just love everything you built.

wow....nice work!!!

Stunning, as always! I'm in the process of doing my first large diorama (probably too large if I'm honest) and your work has given me something to aim for, though I have a long way to go before I create anything as good as yours.

Everytime I watch a tutorial from you I learn a new technique and this provided tons of things I had not thought of before. The diorama is incredible and just fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this and have a Merry Christmas.

Dude, you have a level of talent and precision and realism that really raises the bar. Outstanding job.

Amazing amount of work you have out into this. The results are stunning, thank you.

Great Adelaide background...you are a genious!
