My in-laws, who live in Seattle, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last November. At their party one of their long time neighbors who is 80 found out I liked model making too and we started talking. He loves your channel and your videos got him into 3D printing parts for his stuff.

It’s always a nice day when I see one of these pop up! Best videos before sleep or when I’m working on something tedious in my workshop!

Hearing STARSHIP makes me think: A starship diorama made by you would be awesome!

A tip for when using the plaster filler to fill the gap: mask off the gap. Add a strip of masking tape on either side of the gap, the tape won’t stick great to the wall, which is to your benefit. Fill the gap as usual and then remove the masking tape while the filler is still wet. The amount of detail you need to recarve should be minimal 🙂 Great build mate, enjoyed it immensely!

This is brilliant, Luke. I love how you left in some of the "juggled" fails. This is better than seeing them all succeed, as it brings more of a human touch to the video. We all know you produce take after take to get that final perfect "cut" scene. A few errors adds so much character to these tutorials. Again, another great success.

BEcause i had fun searching for him, the Waldo/Wally sightings: 00:38 under the glass below the square plaster wall with two windows 3:34 behind, what looks like, a couch to the left of the building as the camera pans left 9:06 inside the building as seen through the window above what would be the door 21:00 peeking behind the corner of the model's base 21:38 behind the 2 stacked palletes of bricks

Hang on now.... Maybe Bob Ross is the Luke Towan of oil painting.

If there was one video I would recommend for other hobbyists to watch, it would be this one! All of your work is great, but so much detail and techniques packed into this one. Love it.

I am an old retired codger who now sits and watches KZread videos while listening to Audiobooks. I just mute your audio and watch. Your attention to detail is awesome and your fastidiousness (is that a word?) to getting everything right amazes me. The only critism I might have and it is probably me age is the constant flipping of bottless and cans. :/ I will eventually binge watch each episode as I listen to my books and openly be envious of your ability and my inability to do the things you do. While time is something I have aplenty, the tremors in my hands would not bode well with your hobby. Keep up the good work!

This model is reminiscent of the “World’s Littlest Skyscraper” in Wichita Falls, Texas, USA. I recently watched a KZread video regarding its history… quite interesting. Fantastic work as usual, Luke. I love the brick and concrete weathering.

Awesome job Luke! 😍👍🏻👊🏻

your 3D printing work and small details gives more character to the diorama , looks beautiful

That sidewalk and road are REALLY nice shape for being a bad block... no potholes, no repairs, no tilted walks pushed up by roots....

I think a diorama of a set piece similar to The last of us would look cool, just an old, ruined, overgrown city type of thing

Wonderful worlds to escape to and lose yourself in not only the building process, but setting up as well. I love setting up new dioramas. Letting the world come to life with each new decoration. I love it for 1/64 scale diecast. I'd like to build a Japanese mountain drifting scene one day.

Luke, I discovered your channel during the early days of the pandemic. What a joy it was (and still is) to watch your videos. Your craft mastery has taught me the value of patience and enjoying the little things in life. Keep on creating. Thank you!
