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

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.

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.

last few days i was thinking man i wish there was a new vid out, and then tonight i saw this ... so stoked.

Watching your videos has become my happy place... Please start doing this full time and just do a monthly thing on patreon...

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!

Getting a notification that you have a new video out feels like when I was a kid and woke up on Christmas morning.

That road makes me extremely jealous. The roads I've lived near for the past decade are full of potholes, both filled and unfilled. Amazing work as always!

Haha still waiting for the _"Flipping paint bottles for the camera bloopers and out-takes!"_ bonus video! 😄👍

Thanks, Luke. I have no interest in making dioramas myself but I spent hours binge watching your videos during lockdown whilst cuddling with my sweet doggo, Oscar. He passed away last Friday and I just watched this video and remembered how it felt to be chilling out with him.

New videos always show up at the perfect time.

Hope all has been well. Glad to see you’re back. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

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 is THE PIONEER & if not the MASTER of Dioramas.

In a word....BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Thanks Luke. Your techniques produce excellent results. Plenty to learn from here.

I've never commented on any of your videos and there's no special reason for this comment. But I just wanted to let you know that I respect your massive talent.

Hi Luke. Wieder ein geniales Diorama. Finde das Maßhaltigkeit des Gebäudes ja extrem das man da so viel spachteln muss. Hast du wieder genial gebaut. Grüße Tino

One of the best builders going.

Filling that seam could actually be a feature if it covers some bricks. I'm sure we've all seen brick buildings where somewhere along the line the owner decided to fill in decaying bricks with cement instead of fixing it with brick

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!

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

I'm so excited for this video!! Thank you

Another wonderful build. Well worth the wait!

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

It’s really awesome to see you get better over the years luke!

Hi Luke, This is my first ever comment on any KZread channel. That is because my 6 year old Ibraheem was insistent that we should convey you, you are really doing a good job. Excited to see many more from you.

Love it, I would suggest to add one thing. A red balloon next to drain... If you has seen movie "IT" it's very know so well for red balloon and paper boat next to that kind drains :)

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

I was watching the thumbnail trailer and I thought this was real. Like, really real... Even after you said it wasn't, my brain couldn't unsee it as a real building. I was intrigued by a run down 6 foot hotel but now I'm blow away that it's a diorama AND tutorial! Awesome! Thanks:D
