Volume 3 of my Making a Scene series is about how to make a stunning river canyon diorama. The step-by-step guide will show you exactly how I made this hyper-realistic looking model.
It involves modelling a narrow waterfall, creating rock cliffs (or canyon sides) with bark, making an epoxy resin river, and most notably building up layers of foliage to create an amazing, overgrown and mossy look.
Once again, Mod Podge and epoxy resin made for some amazing water effects, but for this model the focus was on the banks of the river - or rather the sides of the canyon. I was after a look of very dense green foliage without losing a sense of this being a rocky landscape. I achieved this by making vines and layering several grades of flock and ground foam. The ultra-real water effects play second fiddle to the greenery without being swamped and lost from view.
Although I called it 'Green Canyon', it isn't specifically THE Green Canyon in Turkey. Kind of looks similar, though.
This diorama took about 8 hours to build.
Thanks for watching. I hope you find it helpful, but most importantly I hope you enjoy it!

He’s like the Bob Ross of dioramas. The soothing voice, the creativity, everything. Also, while I’m making this, it is Bob Ross’s birthday!
Bob Ross is the ultimate. Thanks for the compliment! Happy Birthday, Bob.
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me
@Alejandro Alejandro Instablaster =)
@Kayden Richard I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I have no clue how I actually got here but I will probably not leave so soon because your work and love for detail is truly inspiring. It's really soothing after a long work-day to just watch you build a peaceful beautiful new little world.
I didn't understand at first why my mouth was so dry until I realized I had watched the whole vid with my jaw dropped open. So amazing to see what can be done with a true artistic hand. Well done sir, well done. I'm going to get some water now. ;-D
I always think he’s adding to much vegetation but at the end. It looks perfect
Are you quoting the usual comments on Bob ross's video? If not that's funny!
If anyone is looking for branches/twigs and can't find any, get some grapes. The stems (vine?) that they're on works great for trees. You can get awesome natural shapes, just let it dry. + You get to eat grapes!
Great tip!
You can see the history. The water level has changed over time. And rocks show the weathering. Stunning.
I’ll have to say my fav thing I’ve learned from you is using landscaping bark for rocks. I think it’s the best! Your vids are a nice change of pace from all the other idiotic things on the world stage. This channel is my therapy!
Thank you 😊. I started watching diorama videos as a way of managing anxiety, so I'm always happy when people say mine are relaxing.
Landscaping bark as rocks is an excellent tip that I can't wait to try.
Matt Becker looks great and best of all usually free
What a perfect way to create vines. This is absolutely one of my favorites. At our flower shop we always know how our original design in our minds eye will take off. It’s great fun to experience how an idea can morph on its own.
My pieces always tend to evolve as I go. Thank you 😊
High Eye Workshop It’s amazing isn’t it!!! Your one of the gifted ones dear sir
Fantastic as usual! I am enjoying how you're choosing these small little scenes and building these highly detailed dioramas. A lot of great techniques. Cheers! Kaustav
Thanks Kaustav. I like smaller scenes and lots of detail. Glad you liked the video 😊
these videos really help me with my anxiety
I started making these pieces as a way of managing anxiety. Thank you for sharing and I'm so pleased these videos help in a small way 😊
Yayyyyy! 💙💙💙💙 Finally got some peace and quiet in my house to take this beauty in!
Thank you 😊
Just started model railway modeling in lockdown and considered myself newly retired. Came across a few of your tutorials and have to say that they, and you, are brilliant. Your calmness and gentility is so soothing and relaxing that gives me the patience to just chill and get on with new adventures in my shed.
Thank you and I will continue to be inspired by you. Cheers.
Great looking slime on the rocks near the water surface. I think many dioramas should have more glossy surfaces.
THIS DESERVES MORE LIKES! 😯😯😯🤯🤯
Another stunning piece!! I'm always in deep awe of your great talent for these models!
Just wonderful! I'm Brazilian and I really like making models.
Damn! I watch these videos from start to end and still can't believe the results you achieve - unbelievable! Great work as always, thanks for all the great videos 👍
this music reminds me of my childhood when my dad would make home videos on iMovie of our trips
Toll gemacht. Felsen und Farbgestaltung sind sehr eindrucksvoll ausgeführt. Respekt.
I mean...everyone can afford resin and styrofoam, but very few people have the patience and skills to make something like this. You have my respect
gees I thought it was a picture or something when I saw the first shot. look insanely natural
I cant believe This is a Model😮Amazing Work keep it Uppp🙂
sometime i wanna give credit to youtube recommended video.. i come across really good channels like this
he makes it look so real!
Absolutely brilliant, I'm a falconer and I can quite easily see how you could capture the moment in your Art.
Thank you 😊
@@HighEyeWorkshop my friend makes miniature sculptures of the Falcons and the falconer in incredible detail, but putting them together to create a full scene would be great.
That was a great video tutorial of the Landscaping was awesome can't wait to see if you make any more.
I would love to see a vulcano with dead or burned trees/bushes and a lava waterfall near it.
I would love it if you make it and if you do then I hope you will enjoy making it as well.
An interesting idea... 😊
Alles was sie bauen ist so mega schön.😍
Das ist ein Talent und echt angenehm anzusehen

Wow, a compliment indeed! I love Bob Ross. Who doesn't?
You are fabulous. These videos have helped me through some tough days in the last few weeks. Thank you.
Thank you. I came to this kind of art in dark times myself, and I'm so happy to have helped in a small way.

Some of your best work yet! And that's really saying something.
Love you work! Very inspirational and very educational for building dioramas.
I have learned so many tricks from your videos to get more realistic effects. Keep up the great work!
Simply Amazing
Thank you for some great ideas I'm just getting back into kitset models and I'm wanting to put them in a scene to make it look more realistic and you're teaching me a lot. Thanks

I always wanted to make something like that but I am not talented like you and I don't have all that stuff also but.... You are amazing!
Really awesome.
MERAVIGLIOSO.😍
Do you ever include things like fish and human debris (the traditional shopping trolley, for instance) below the water? Would be interesting to see how you’d keep a fish floating the right way - would you do it in multiple pours?
Thank you. I don't add human elements at all as I like to keep my pieces wild. It's more about creating a piece of nature for me. Embedding fish would require pouring in layers, I guess, and placing the fish into the semi-cured first layer.
That would be interesting to see, in case you find yourself short on ideas - or a really dense, dark, mossy forest, maybe with a little tarn... :-D
Excellent work as ever, anyway. Nice to see algae and moss turning up.
Brilliant work and great commentary. The quality of your work is outstanding. One slight niggle, I found the jangly background ‘lift music’ guitar quite distracting and not needed. Now , off to watch another!!
Fantastic!
OOOO....MMMM.....GGGG !!!!! You are and ARTIST !!!
Sie sind wirklich talentiert!
Yet another brilliant video. I really enjoyed watching this and learning new techniques. Yet again idiot's are giving it a thumbs down when they themselves couldn't stick a pin in a board !
Thank you 😊
I just subscribed...... what beautiful art work you did !!!! 👍 Like others .... this calms me ... I am inspired !!! I am going to apply some techniques on my ho scale train layout 😁 !!!
Hermoso, excelente trabajo.

Thank you 😊. At some point soon I will probably make a desert scene.

Could you maybe do a winter terrain with mountains and valleys in deep snow? Im attempting one soon and would love to have any tips. Love your channel and work thanks!
Thank you. I'm planning a snow scene 😊
I wish this was a real place... It's so amazing.
