Building my Dream Treehouse in Miniature - realistic scenery Vol.23
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- I always dreamed of building a treehouse as a kid… if my treehouse looked anything like this awesome HO scale version I think I would have exploded with excitement!
This is a HO scale model showcasing a 3 level treehouse and 3 absolutely amazing HO scale Redwood trees, these tree models are huge! Almost as tall as the 20 story building I made in the last video and that’s not even how tall they can actually grow!
Don’t forget to check out Ontrack_Modelrailroad on Instagram, after seeing an amazing treehouse model he made it inspired me to make this video. Here is a link to his page:

Time to get a snack, sit back, and enjoy. I'll never make one of these, but it is so cool watching this master maker.
Johnny Vegas this guy makes me want to spend the $100-$200 just to get the materials to make a diorama
Yeah these are my late night relaxation videotape
I like to watch them while I'm in between projects😊
@@smellsbad2742 Dont forget another $1000 for the tools of the trade. Haha
Exactly that 👌
At least I’m not the only one that sharpens pencils will my nose.
LOL... we're a community 🤣
At first I was like “wut” but after seeing what u guys mean made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A little editing magic and a white pencil crayon could come out green. 😉
Luke Towan hahah keep up the good work brotha.
I saw that also and had to rewind it just to make sure I wasn't seeing anything
Hey Luke I know this is out of nowhere and you dont know me but I watched your videos during a time I was depressed and your videos - they distracted me from all of my sad thoughts. Watching you build miniature scenery kept my mind quiet. Atleast for a little while, I could feel peace. It felt like my life was standing still, so calm and tranquil when I watch your videos. I'm now writing you at a time where i'm mentally healthier. I dont think you wouldve thought or expected that making these videos would help someone with depression. Thank you Luke.
That's so awesome! It makes me very happy to know that my videos have helped you in such a positive way. I hope you continue to feel better and I'm glad you still feel peace and calm watching the videos. That is very encouraging news for not only me but for you as well 😃
I am not depressed but I can relate. The videos have this soothing effect on me as well. Plus I learn a thing or two with every video which is a great bonus.
I love hearing stories like this. I can relate. Just remember to keep on making positive changes in your life. It's tough, but not impossible. I'm glad we all can share in this hobby and be mindful that it's the little things in life that truly make it worth living. Best of luck to you, mate!
Oh I relate here! This time last year I was planning my escape from a toxic relationship. Often the only thing that would keep my mind off everything were Lukes videos 🙏🏻 whenever I need to relax nowadays I always come back to these videos 😊
Exactly why I needed this video today.
Thank you Luke. Your work is amazing.
Bless you.
Never modelled in my life, yet I find these so relaxing and intriguing
Glad you like them!
I have but Im not as good as him
It's RUclipsrs like this that help me keep my sanity. 😌
As always, a masterpiece. I love this one as it is simply FUN. You're building what makes you happy - i.e. where you'd want to be as a kid. Well done. Really nice to see.
ha ha thanks Merrick, yeah it's sometimes hard because there's always that expectation of what the audience wants versus what I want... sometimes they align and sometimes they don't.
This was definitely a fun build, I just wish I had the time and patience to build one thousand of these tall redwood trees to make a forest! I think it would take me over a year to do that many but I'd probably go insane after 20!
I grew up n Northern California with a Large Redwood tree right outside my bedroom window (on the 3rd floor). So of course I am a complete Star Wars nerd and love treehouses as well. You did a great job making the Redwoods, they look very accurate, and the ewok village is really a treat. If you ever make it out to California, make sure to visit the Calaveras Big Trees park where you'll see Redwoods and giant Sequoias also. Not to be missed.
@@BoulderCreekRailroad it's hard when you feel you 'have' to do something your heart isn't really in doing. Hope you and the family are well.
From Australia to California in seven minutes! What an amazing time to be alive!
So true! It's a small world with the internet!
Luke Towan, the Master Of Miniature just said “it’s a small world” to me!
I wish I had more than just one thumbs up 👍🏼 for that comment!
Every time I watch the first few seconds of Lukes videos, I think "Oh, so that's the real environment and he wants to build it as a miniature"
lol... that's a good sign 😃 I try to make them look as realistic as I can
Yep, I got tricked with the high-rise flats. With this one, the birdsong was an extra trick - got me again.😁
This has it all! LOTS of detail, selfmade trees, ground with dirt and greens! One of your best so far!!
In times like this, Luke's videos are a crucial public service
king matt
The best 29:06 I've seen in a long time...
Happy one million!!! YOU EARNED IT !!!!
I know this is old but I just wanted to say hello from one fan to another!!
“A square trunk is somewhat unrealistic” *_laughs in Minecraft_*
"I'm going to be responsible and go to bed - Wait, a new Luke Towan video? Sleep be damned! Entertainment ahoy!!!"
As someone who also wanted to live in a treehouse as a child (and as an adult), this was therapeutic... :)
"Make sure to cut away from yourself to prevent cutting your hand... or worse."
What could be worse?
Ohh..... yeah, that would be worse.
way worse
I watch these to fall asleep but then go back and watch them because I’m genuinely interested in seeing the process. It’s just so hard to stay awake while watching if it’s already late because it’s soooo soothing
I just have to say that I really appreciate your videos. I'm not a model maker, but I find your videos really relaxing. Kind of like a "Bob Ross" of scenic model making. I really look forward to them.
Glad you like them! 😃
This kind of looks like an Ewok village from Star Wars
Did C-3PO and the Ewok give it away? It also reminds me of the video game MYST where they had similar structures.
They filmed the Ewok thing in the pacific north west, so that tracks
The amount of effort put into every detail, no matter how small, is in my opinion the defining quality of Luke Towan. Every model is a masterpiece and the quality is insane.
👍 to you before see the model. Now I enjoy the vídeo. Regards from Spain.
Thank you very much! Hope you enjoyed watching 😉
Luke puts out a new video: 😁
It's 30 minutes long: 😲
He's building tree houses: 🤯
Where is the WALDO!! Its driving me crazy, i cant find him.
When Luke posts, I click. It’s that simple. Another stunning video Mate.
Imagine C-3PO climbing those chains and suddenly: LUKEEEEE!
"An extra piece of dowel is sharpened" wait wait wait. My man. Is that a nose-shaped pencil sharpener?
no, he inserted a pencil sharpener into his nose
Love the pencil sharpener...
lol... I was wondering if anyone would comment on that 😄
Will anyone comment? Who nose?
@@BoulderCreekRailroad : I caught that just as the scene cut to the next, and it wasn't lost on me. I meant to comment, but I didn't want to tease you!😖🥴
That was the fastest 29:06 minutes I've ever had. Time just flies when I'm watching your videos. I absolutely love this. Even more than the subway station. That's saying a lot
Luke: Makes tree trunks
Me: Nice
Luke: Roughs up the trees to make bark
Me: NICE
Still the only channel I don't watch on 2x speed, love the result once again :)
Nice work, congratulations
Brilliant work as always mate👏👏👌
Thank you so much 😀
you should collaborate with serpadesign and include a scenery into one of his paludarium ! just imagine _huge_ fish or geckos around this treehouse!!
Hmmm, I grew up with redwood trees. More likely to find lots of Ferns on the forest floor, and Salamanders and Newts. California red belly Newt for example. Sometimes Banana slugs. At slightly higher elevation, you will find Manzanita bushes/trees with their smooth red bark.
Luke you should giveaway one of your diorama for 1mil subscribers :) just an idea.
Not a bad idea Bojan 😉
My favourite content. Get genuinely excited when I see the notification.
I hope this isn't offensive but... I watch your videos to sleep. Your voice is so calming and I know there's no loud noises or screams in the video and the images are so calming as well.. I love it! I can't even watch half of it! I sleep like a baby... And then the next day I watch the whole video while eating lunch cause its just so fascinating!
My son (11) and I love watching you. Im just wondering how can he get started in creating such art?
Heya, I know you were asking Luke, not me, but in case he doesn't see/ get time to reply i thought I'd jump in :)
I'm relatively new to miniatures myself, but in my opinion, the best way to jump in and start trying some beginner projects is to google/ youtube search/ (the Instructables website can be good too!) simple tutorials that allow you to use stuff you've already got around the house. It can be surprising what can be done with stuff you'd usually toss away, ie. plastic bottles; cardboard cereal boxes; spent matchsticks; old dead pens, etc...!
Other household items such as tissues ( can be used with glue to make a kinda papier mache), aluminium foil, and toothpicks can hold a lot of creative potential too! Add a few bits 'n' bobs, like some inexpensive acrylic paints, and you'll be surprised what can be created :) . A nice side effect of using stuff you already have - especially when it comes to kids- is that you can avoid spending big $$$ on supplies on a hobby that they may just get bored with in a week also, lol ( I'm a parent myself, so I know they can go through phases!). But if your kiddo starts getting really into it, maybe then you can consider branching out into purchasing more specialised stuff.
What I've noticed is that there are soooo many different ways of making any one thing, so there are no real rights or wrongs.Try everything! It all depends on the effect you're after, and what's practical for you. Just take an experimental approach. The first thing of anything I make for the first time is usually a bit crap tbh, lol. But it's a learning experience! Eventually I refine and improve what I'm making. I've managed to make some things that I'm quite happy with, using quite inexpensive materials that most people would just throw in the bin! It takes a bit longer making stuff from scratch, but Imagination is the only limit, really :)
Best of luck! Sorry if my comment is too long ( mine always are, lol). I hope you and your son have a bunch of fun with this enchanting art form!
@@3leggedsharkkickssurferinballs Do you know what your Myers-Briggs personality type is? My comments are always too long also and it seems to be common for my type.
When I was little I had no idea what a diorama was and needed to make one for school. My dad helped me. We made a scene in a large box building up the "ground" with old newspapers and paper mache or plaster of paris, and made a popsicle stick structure for our little guy who was living by the river during the gold rush here in California.
I was able to help my children make their school projects when they came along because of what my dad taught me and my own interest in miniatures.
@@recoveringsoul755 I don't actually; I've never tried the test. It might be interesting to give it a go! At any rate, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who writes long comments! I think this trait in me stems from a combination having a lot to say and an enduring passion for writing. Not everyone has a passion for reading long comments on the youtube, though, haha. But, each to their own, huh ;)
Aww, that sounds like a fun memory. What a helpful Dad :)
That's awesome. Miniatures are such fun for kids and adults alike. Learning how to make them is also a really nice way to spend quality time with the kidlies, I think. To be honest, I am becoming lot more obsessed with miniatures now than my kid- or any kid I know- is!
@@3leggedsharkkickssurferinballs Luke is a master. But I also like Black Magic Craft's channel, as he makes simpler builds out of scrap but look really impressive.
@@CandygramMongo Funny you mention that, I only discovered Black Magic Craft last week, and you're right- he makes some pretty impressive stuff out of pretty basic, inexpensive materials. Pretty inspiring! Oh, and yes, Luke IS a master. I aspire to his level of expertise!
I love watching these videos. They are he gold standard among diaramas. And his accent makes me love listening too.
when you hit one million you need to make something HUGE!!!
Yes please!!!
Just remember, It will be HUGE like the apt. Tower he made...just...in H.O. scale!!😉👍🏻
Ah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, there's John... LOL. I was thinking about your use of ground cover of chopped dried leaves. Why don't you give used dried tea bag leaves a go and let me know what you think? I have an old empty coffee jar already filled with the dried leaves, I have used/drank over the past month or so. I would like to see you do a small diorama using them for ground cover or something else in trying them out. Plus, I'll like to see what you can do with the bags themselves, after cutting the four sides away into flat sheets?. How is that for a little challenge for you Luke? Anyway, I love watching what you make including the homemade tools to aid your building. Cheers, John.
I don't get why people would dislike this... Like Luke deserves the love, man!
Right?! Who are the 43 people that have voted dislike?! Haters I assume, and haters be hatin' no matter what :(
They dislike because they don't and can't ever amount to much so, rather than be thankful for good entertainment, they instead try to tarnish it with a 'thumbs down'. What they fail miserably to realise is that nobody gives a toss about their negative input. We just love Luke and his model making videos.
Looks real nice Luke. Always fun to watch your videos
I’m CONFUSED! Where IS Waldo?? I can’t find him 😭😭😭
Same ;-;
Me neither
Bro you're about to hit the the big one mil, how are you going to top this to celebrate?
Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your skills and experience with us all. Never change Luke, you're an inspiration.
I went and looked at the extra photos on your website and I like the photos you took from above, looking straight down. It's a really unique angle, makes it look like you're looking down from a helicopter!
My online classes can wait. These videos are just the best
lol... I'd definitely do the same 😄
Just wait. There's going to be a test after the video.😋
Woo, Tassie Oak in a Luke Towan video! Time to go home, guys, we've made it as a state
On your way home please bring sculpt-it and copious amounts of isopropyl 👍
@@bigstu80 one day we'll get the big-girl crafting supplies, one day...
Good luck finding isopropyl!
Beautiful work, dude! I loved the reference to The Return of the Jedi! 😃
Stay safe there! 🖖😊
RUclips recommended has brought me here
Same
same
oh that was a quick recommendation from RUclips! I must have done something right 😄
Welcome
Same lol
Great video as always Luke 👍👍 Hey for carving the trunks you could always pick up a cheap Spoke Shave off Amazon or eBay. It would definitely be safer and easier than the razor knife.
Found this in my recommended for no apparent reason, so I just decided to watch, but I was hooked since the beginning. So much detail! That's patience!
I subscribed.
Please keep making videos! (but feel free to do what you want)
hi Luke You aree a true master of modelling keep up the inspiring work you do iam a model builder my self but no where near you. you inspire me many thanks for your tutorials may you grow from strength to strength take care. GOD bless
I didn’t actually realise trees where pointy at the top untill now
Amazing as always! It would be great if you added more time showing the finished product at the end of the videos. Maybe give us a full minute to be able to fully admire your work. Of course that’s just a suggestion. 🙂
RUclips subscribe feed has bring me here.
playbabe theBookShelf Me too :D
Clearly he doesn't actually make these miniatures. It would be impossible. Obviously he invented a shrink ray, shrinks real life things, takes them apart, then runs the video backwards. That's the only explanation for the realism :P
Dude I STILL dream about these places, and I'm terrified of heights! Btw Luke, where do you keep all your miniatures, just in your workspace or do you keep some in another place? (You may have had said before and I missed it)
Also!
4:18 Is that a mini version of Pete Nelson from Treehouse Masters?! 😂
I didn't even know Treehouse Masters was a thing... So Cool!
I have shelves in my studio/garage where I keep my models, sometime when I'm running out of space I'll dismantle the older models to make new ones 😃
@@BoulderCreekRailroad Oh yeah it's a great show, you can probably find it somewhere online (dunno if it airs in Australia). He makes alot of cool treehouses in beautiful locales!
Sorry but it crazy (positiv) and fantastic modelling! 😊😊😊
Any plans to make a road construction site with traffic lights?
tree trunks are too shiny- all else looks amazing
Redwood trees are quite "furry", but if you've never hugged one or grew up with them, you might not know that.
Nobody:
Luke: *flip bottle challenge *
I have been watching videos since the very beginning and I must say you continue to improve your skills with each diorama. You have inspired me to follow my grandfather's passion for model trains. This summer I am going to start it. I remember when you were so underrated and had just started your soon to be amazing youtube channel. What I me by this whole comment is that you help many people in hard times like these and are the bright light in the sky that keeps us going, moving forward in our life whether we are young or old many people appreciate your huge contributions to our world. Keep up the amazing work and stay healthy in these unusual times.
Can you tell from where do you buy the human figures, vehicles, boats, trains and many more mini toys??? Plz name the website
I always dream to have a tree house..... your miniature so amazing
Thank you so much!
🎶 From the Redwood Forests to the New York Islands 🎶
I think we know what Luke's making next🙂.
That’s awesome👏🏻👏🏻😉
Luke, we were on the verge of greatness, we were this close, where are the ewoks?!?
Haha tremendous video 🔥
Hey luke u hit 1 Million Subcibers! Congrats
You should check out the real life guys. They built their dream treehouse "in real life"
Their videos are in german though
There is a bed and breakfast in the state of Oregon here in the US where you can rent out a little treehouse for a night or two. I found their website or channel years ago. Wish I could remember the name of the place.
Fantastic video. Would love to see a "busy" building like a hospital or even a prison
that doesn't sound relaxing at all
This fella must be an amazing dad. Not because he builds cool models. Rather because if he has the patience to follow these 4000 steps he can likely handle a good 80% of what kids can throw at him.
From the thumbnail I thought you where a giant for a minute lol ....🚗 🚘
Another Outstanding video and model keep it up 👍.
"A street house, a neat house,
Be sure and wipe your feet house
Is not my kind of house at all--
Let's go live in a tree house." That's amazing, as always.
Wow! I love the creative flow of this- it’s literally bringing imagination to life.
Hey Luke, just a suggestion, can you just NOT show the final of your art in the beginning. It kind of spoil the surprise element and admiration for me. Other than that, I am big fan of your extraordinary work. Thanks.
Absolutely amazing sir! Thank you for sharing!
Congratz on hitting 1 Million Subscribers Luke! So well deserved =)
Awesome work again Luke, getting very close to 1 million subscribers now, glad I’m one of them 👍
ha ha thanks so much Mike! Also I just saw your motorcross diorama part 3! wow that turned out amazing! 😃
Thanks Luke, it’s still not finished as I can’t find anyone to do the 3D printing, wish I could fly you over for a couple of days to give it the finishing touches, anyway take care and looking forward to the next video.
An hour later , the AT-ST chased some Ewoks through the scene.
Doubt the Ewoks would leat the AT-ST to their home
You show many waterfall and treehouse in videos
Very ewok 👍👍👍
Amazing, stunning, beautiful.
The only “negative” that takes away from the realistic look of it is the size of the chain for the “elevator”.
There are some pretty massive chains on big ships. My dad worked on Aircraft carriers.
Hello luke, your video really makes me a big fan of you right now, because I often watch your videos, now I am interested in doing this, and this is now my new hobby, thanks luke I learned a lot from you and i am very happy to do my new hobby, thanks a lot luke for sharing your masterpiece works
Awesome thanks for sharing Luke. Looks like those little guys from Star Wars house.
ha ha yeah it's roughly based of the Ewok village but for humans 😃
Luke Towan yup 🤣😂🤣
Wow your talent is amazing. Everyone of your “next” videos are better than the last!!!!!!!!!!!! How is that possible!!!!!????🧐
I fail to understand how anyone could give these videos a thumbs down. It is amazing to me how much thought goes into the details on your miniatures. Just stunning and so realistic.
I request you to make a model of an highway
I really want to do modeling in HO scale but I don't have the space or the money ☹️
Same though. It wont be anything like this but I found that using paper mache and construction paper scratches the itch.
ruclips.net/user/DanMonsterMan This is a cool channel that does a lot of paper mache. And its something you can do without a lot of investment. I can't really speak to your space requirements though.
JUST A BIT AGO I WAS THINKING ABOUT REWATCHING SOME OF YOUR DIORAMA VIDEOS
Awesome, now you get to check out a new one 😉
you should make a battleship scene
Absolutely amazing work! My wife thoughtnthey were human size in your thumbnail, until you zoomed out. Excellent!
cut towards your buddy not your body
In addition to talent and patience, you must also have a surgeon's precision. Looks great!
You should make a birtch or trembling aspin forest. Your work is amazing!
The ONE thing that gives it away (for my eyes) is the fact that the actual tree logs are shining like plastic, other than that an image of that would've easily fooled me!
thiss animation very goodd XD
these videos are so calming. i watch them them to calm my mind before i fall asleep.
Glad you like them! 😉
Мне вот интересно,здесь есть кто-нибудь,кто меня понимает..?
Конечно...
Just curous, whats india ink?
I'm loving these big builds. Redwoods have been my favourite trees ever since visiting Yosemite, so thoroughly enjoyed this build. Thanks
I thought that the treehouse was real XD
