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

I love your work so much! The amount of detail that you put into everything is unmatched and I can no longer watch any other diorama channels. I do have one suggestion though! To add even one more aspect of realism, any of your dioramas that include splashes, mists of water, and waves, I think it would look really neat if you brushed on a thin layer of clear resin to the lower parts of the rock formations to add the effect of wetness!

Not sure if this is something you would try, but for Christmas, it would be neat for a diorama for something to due with the Polar Express. Perhaps the frozen lake with the train on top. You could do cracking ice, and have tracks coming out from the ice to look like the frozen over tracks. Again, not sure if this is in your wheelhouse, but it's an excuse for a pretty neat icy/snowy scene with some interesting techniques to use.

Luke, as someone who works for Walthers, and builds a lot of our models, I have to say you did an absolute bang up job on the lighthouse. It’s always a treat to see how our models can shine (no pun intended) in the hands of a skilled modeler such as yourself. Keep up the amazing work. You’re a true inspiration to many. Cheers.

I can't think of a reason why any of these videos would get a thumbs down, they are informative and mesmerising.

Your videos are the only videos on KZread that don`t trigger my media adhd. I am mesmorized at every minute with your precision, talent, and perfection!!

I literally only watch these videos while i do dishes. It’s so relaxing. In the beginning of every video i have this tension like it doesn’t look right but by the end i can’t believe it’s not a real place.

Really beautiful, If I had anything worth suggesting, it would be to raise the darker grey from the bottom area of rocks a little higher and give it some irregularity, as the rocks right at surface of the water look a bit dry, which shouldn't be the case if they are wet from all the waves splashing. Also, rocks at or just below the surface of the water often have seaweed/moss, so it could be worthwhile to add a bit of that 'grass' on the rocks below the surface before adding the resin (would that even work?). Finally, I assume this is high tide, but if it were low tide there would be some staining of the rocks up to the waterline of high tide, with some various kinds of flora and fauna on the rocks below that level. Just a couple thoughts. Love your work.

Seaweed etc. is a top suggestion!! Would love to see Luke experiment with this.

12:20 now, that's skill! Also, one of the best dioramas yet, that water blew my mind

A work of Art. Probably much more fun than mucking around painting a picture using oils, and you can see it in 3D.

damn i want my dioramas to look like this well i guess i just need to try over and over again and one day maybe my dioramas will be at least a bit like yours but this was really incredible as always man keep it up you inspire me too keep making new dioramas

so realistic !

WTF! You have outdone yourself! The work, especially on the water was awesome.

The water seems a little too fake on the finished product. I look back at the start of the video where the diorama has a proper background and the water just does not blend in with the rest of the sea. The color is off, and the wave behavior doesn't match. However that problem could be remedied with a different background. Otherwise the set looks awesome m8
