Beautiful job. Always happy to watch you work. I admire your patience and ambition with each piece. Then again, I'd be happy enough watching you create whatever you wanted to create - be it an outhouse or a mountain.
lol... thanks heaps Merick, an outhouse sounds fun... I'd have to include sound effects 😄 Likewise, I thoroughly enjoy watching your awesome projects as well 😉
@@BoulderCreekRailroad I'm very interested in making one of these but I have 2 questions...(one is kinda a favor). 1# is it ok to give me a list of what I need to build the diorama and as well the links? 2# is this project hard? you can send question 1 at my gmail: eggyfried5@gmail.com

Obviously the model takes a huge amount of time, but then you go and do all this extra stuff on top like bottle flips and have 3D text that's perspective tracked and blurs realistically when it's obscured by plastic tubs... Just because you can. That's not even to mention the work that filming and editing takes. It's just mind-blowing how much work goes into this! Amazing 👍
He’s back... Wally couldn’t resist checking out what I was doing. I’ll give you a clue 🔍 He is in the video 5 times 😉...

Hello, I've been really inspired by your content because it reminds me of wanting to build dioramas when I was younger. I am planning on building my own diorama loosely based on your Alaskan Wilderness diorama. Because I am just trying out making dioramas I don't want to spend a huge amount of money or buy lots of an item that I may not use in the future. One of my main challenges is finding a resin I could use for deeper casts that I don't have to purchase in bulk. Do you know any products that I could use? Thanks so much. :)
The real reason we haven't seen a video in a while is because it took you this long to get the shot of the paint landing in the airbrush cup, isn't it?
It doesn't matter who you are - being able to watch someone create something from nothing in detailed steps is inspiring, relaxing and satisfying. Thanks for another impressive build Luke.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but it's great to see you upload. I for one was getting worried that covid was impacting on you. Wish you luck and again, I wish I was a tenth as talented
I don't even do modeling and I couldn't wait for your next video. Watching a master at work bringing new worlds to life is the pinnacle of entertainment for me. Good to see you back dude!
I greatly admire your work and would you be able to reproduce the map of Red dead redemption 2 in its entirety or part of the map (desert, mountain, plains, a large city) ?
I just worked 7 days straight (10-12 hour days). I am exhausted, and can barely keep my eyes open.. Wha - A new Luke Towan video? Half an hour long? Should I wait? No. Let what must be done, be done... Always worth it! I also love the community shout-outs. Well done, Sir. Well done... :)
I am a huge fan of this guy. The level of artistry and imagination is way beyond. I am a artist and hands down to this guy. Good job as always Luke. Greetings from Killeen Tx 😎
Amazing video as always Luke! Nice work! For those like me wondering what is the channel he recommends at the end here's a link to the Kathy Milliatt channel: ruclips.net/channel/UCK-tzXpJ-rgXugc-eJfCtxg I understood Kathy Miller and couldn't find anything LOL
The timing of this video is perfect! Not long ago I was searching for cave dioramas and didn't find what I wanted. This video is exactly what I was looking for and I am so happy you made it! I hope one day you make an ancient Egyptian tomb diorama, similar to the mineshaft one. I think it would look amazing in your style.
For some reason I really want to make a diorama for some sort of exotic animal Like a tarantula vivarium but a down town metropolis so as time goes on it gets more apocalyptic
Absolutely beautiful! My one opinion is the cotton mist at the bottom always sort of ruins these for me and makes it look a little bit fake/cheap. I mean this in the best possible way.
turning the diorama upside down to glue the stalagmites? -no turning the diorama upside down to smooth in the stalagmites -yes use water waves to built up the water at the waterfall -no use water ripples and let them dry but they're still not good? -yes xD
Luke, this is one of your best yet!! As an Indiana Caver, this hits home for me, as we have some caves that are like this, waterfalls at the entrance and such! Thank you for this! I've not missed an episode! I've shared your video in some of my caving Facebook pages.
You're the gold standard Luke! I appreciate the attention to detail and bits of humor. I create theme park models for the industry and collectors and my techniques have improved greatly thanks to your channel.
So nice of you to give Kathy a call out! What a great modeler she is! I'm also a fan of Marklin of Sweden - perhaps he could get the same treatment! In fact, he just recently did some sea spray with some aquarium filter which is a product that I think surpasses the pillow policy fibre!
The cave reminds me of when I worked at a haunted house and played a dying miner, I was in a dark cave like that for upwards of 8 hours until almost 2 in the morning sometimes, eventually you stop acting exhausted and just become exhausted. 10/10 very immersive
Its come to the point where I don't think its a case of 'How can he top that', because when your already at perfection, theres really no way to go higher, no 'next level'. However, I now think to myself 'Fantastic! I wonder what hes going to model next'. Whatever it is, we all know one thing .... its going to be friggin *EPIC!*
Well Luke....you have outdone yourself. This looks stunning!! I sent the link to my daughters as they were eager to see the vid after your teaser pic dropped last week. Man....these scenes are fantastic!!! My daughter's love all of the hidden 'Lukes' and bottle flips etc. I appreciate your dedication to the craft.

"Why hasn't Luke posted a new video?"
"So anyway, I made over 100 stalagmites and then glued them in place to make this as realistic as possible."
You wait, the next one will have little fish swimming in the water and driftwood gloating in the river. Luke’s dioramas really are next level
These dead leaves and bark are to simulate dead leaves and bark, this is my favorite line of this video!
"Mmm yes. The floor is made of floor" XD
after all the years of modeling, Lukes back yard has to be full of random holes from harvesting dirt, lol
Ya 😂😂😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's thought this 😂
You think he has a backyard left after removing all that gravel
He now has a model of a garden where his garden used to be
Ye, looks like rhyders house

Most of us are told 'Don't go out because of Covid! Luke's answer 'No worry, I'll build my own outdoors'. You Sir are an Artist.

Totally feel the same! My imagination takes me in that perfect colored pool! 👍🏻

Well you just know he gets the bottle flip first time. Sounds like you REALLY watch these vids dude!
The tracking has gotten amazing, the amount of work that goes into making the videos, never mind the models themselves, is just mind blowing.

#Salute #StayBlessd #DontAskWhyItsJustCuz
Have you thought about doing a similar piece based on piccaninny ponds?
5:35 that lil easter egg nice
Never mind the realistic waterfall and cave system, Luke's bottle flipping skills are what keep me coming back
NEW LT VIDEO >< YUSSSSSS!!!
Can't watch.....gotta work out. D'OOOOH!
yeah unfortunately we all need to pay the bills, I hope you enjoy watching after work 😉
@@BoulderCreekRailroad *workout
Work is done for today ^^
nice profile pic
lol... yeah that's important too 😄 Gotta stay healthy.
@@BoulderCreekRailroad Gained some weight during the covid crap but never dropped daily workout :p
Who here never builds dioramas but just enjoys watching these videos?
I don't have the money or space (or skill, tbh) so this is a great way of living vicariously!
I have built one diorama that fit into a wide wine glass, 5 yrs ago. That’s it but I watch Kathy, Luke, Mile High and a few others religiously.
@@58Kym that's interesting, I wanna see a video of a diorama be built in a glass bottle. Sounds complicated

A new Luke Towan: drop everything, grab a cup of coffee and settle in for a half hour meditation session that previously only Bob Ross could give us.
I feel like that flame-less soldering torch is your new favourite toy.
The real reason we haven't seen a video in a while is because it took you this long to get the shot of the paint landing in the airbrush cup, isn't it?
Missed that. Want to see that. What is the time code?
It doesn't matter who you are - being able to watch someone create something from nothing in detailed steps is inspiring, relaxing and satisfying. Thanks for another impressive build Luke.
Well not nothing. Out of a heap of stuff and with a lot of skill. But agree, an amazing transformation.
When the production value is this big, being less than 30 minutes is actually a criminal offense. You're fined with making more.
Beautiful work, it's super inspiring😉👍
At long last! Been looking forward to this!
Hope you enjoy watching 😉
I just stopped what I was doing so fast so that I could watch this.
lol... I hope it wasn't something important 😄
I took a break from my riveting boredom...
I love both Kathy's and your videos!!! Funny how you both have gotten away from the railroad side of modeling and are more into the creative scenes!
I was just thinking the exact same thing! Not a complaint though....its a joy just watching him work!
Boulder creek *railroad* !
Even if nobody else will complain about... I'll do.
What a pity!
@@DB--lv6tt well there’s a creek, there’s a Boulder and the railway is just over the other hill. Lol
I’m new to this channel. I’ve seen multiple people mention Kathy. Is Kathy Miller the person people are talking about for another diorama channel?
@@patrickschardt7724 Kathy Millett.
First I think
Yes
yep definitely first 😎
you are always first in my book, lol
@@BoulderCreekRailroad wow Luke! You’re a huge inspiration! Have a nice day!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but it's great to see you upload. I for one was getting worried that covid was impacting on you. Wish you luck and again, I wish I was a tenth as talented
I agree, I was checking from about four weeks since the last upload. Worth the wait!
Luke: We'll make it in H0 scale.
Me (who has never made a diorama and don't plan to anytime soon): Obviously, I'm not a barbarian
I don't even do modeling and I couldn't wait for your next video. Watching a master at work bringing new worlds to life is the pinnacle of entertainment for me. Good to see you back dude!
I love doing modeling even though I’ve never actually completed one
Finally! Luke remembers he has a youtube channel .
Absolutely amazing, mate. This is some serious talent
Thank you! Cheers!
You know it's a really special video when luke uploads after a very long time
Tbh, the under water tunnel entrance to that cave would be an absolute death trap IRL
I greatly admire your work and would you be able to reproduce the map of Red dead redemption 2 in its entirety or part of the map (desert, mountain, plains, a large city) ?
Luke, you just keep coming up with fantastic new scenes and techniques to model them. Thanks again for sharing. 👍👍
Other people watch baseball or The Bachelor. I watch Luke creating a piece of a strangely familiar world before my very eyes.
Beautiful work! Again!
Agreed! I'll take this over anything on Television currently... :)
The new Caves & Cliffs update is looking good.
Wonderful as always, Luke! We're excited to see your future videos, too. :)
That cave is GORGEOUS!!! Miniature caves, I could see that as just displays to focus on as a series.
There's a place like this under the temple in veng vien, in loas. Its kind of a secret. It's near the entrance to the tham chang Temple
I just worked 7 days straight (10-12 hour days). I am exhausted, and can barely keep my eyes open..
Wha - A new Luke Towan video? Half an hour long? Should I wait? No.
Let what must be done, be done...
Always worth it! I also love the community shout-outs. Well done, Sir. Well done... :)
The dirt facia is so much nicer than the black- good call 👍
Flashlight panning the cave is a great shot, the way the light cast shadows on the ceiling and reflects off the water looks amazing 👏
finally a video :D
yeah it's been ages!
Unbelievable what you can make.......Damnnnnn unbelievable
Like Dude! This is INSANELY AWESOME!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The legend uploaded.
lol, cheers mate, I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos 😉
Each movie proves how unlimited amounts of talent are in you! Congratulations!
Yessssssss. Another video. I love all the content you put out. Hope all is well. I want to be a pilot also. Much love Luke
thanks Devon, it's a very fun and rewarding career! I couldn't imagine doing any other job! 👨✈️
I am a huge fan of this guy. The level of artistry and imagination is way beyond. I am a artist and hands down to this guy. Good job as always Luke. Greetings from Killeen Tx 😎
Go Roos, Beat Ellison!
Could you make an 1950 1960s farm please I would really enjoy that by the way good video
This channel is my therapy.
Amazing video as always Luke! Nice work!

Egyptian tomb would be good. I reckon a river in really bad flood would be interesting too
This is a dumb question... but how many times have you accidentally let go of the nylon stocking and had it get sucked up into your vacuum?
Your voice is so calming 😍
Oh thank you! I'm glad you think so 😊
For some reason I really want to make a diorama for some sort of exotic animal
Like a tarantula vivarium but a down town metropolis so as time goes on it gets more apocalyptic
That one kid when the teacher says you have a project
And then there was me, barely able to stick wool to cardboard
What kind of a little person would waste their time on a "thumbs down" after watching this art in action? What bottom-feeders. . .
Absolutely beautiful! My one opinion is the cotton mist at the bottom always sort of ruins these for me and makes it look a little bit fake/cheap. I mean this in the best possible way.
turning the diorama upside down to glue the stalagmites? -no
turning the diorama upside down to smooth in the stalagmites -yes
use water waves to built up the water at the waterfall -no
use water ripples and let them dry but they're still not good? -yes
xD
I would love to see a mini diorama of the danish Møns klint, and think you’ll do an invredible job!
Hey Luke great video love your content this video was very much worth the wait huge fan keep up the great work.
It would be so neat to see you create a diorama of a historical place, like Rome! It suits your style perfectly
Can you give us a tour of all of the projects you have made over the years
Luke, this is one of your best yet!! As an Indiana Caver, this hits home for me, as we have some caves that are like this, waterfalls at the entrance and such! Thank you for this! I've not missed an episode! I've shared your video in some of my caving Facebook pages.

No worries Kathy, you're videos are amazing so it's my pleasure to be able to share them around as well 😃 Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Luke.
Finnaly a new vid i was thinking it never wił come
I want to collect this kind of stuffs. Since I can't make it, but it's still hard to find one who sells beautiful Dioramas like this.
FANTASTIC work, Luke! Really impressive scenery! 😃
A few 3d printed bats would fit great as well!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Pls make a snow area..and a train which runs on snowy area🙏🙏🙏
Nice sir I am watching everyone iam in Tamil Nadu Chennai
ok are we really going to ignore luke's bottle flips?
Minecraft: Caves & Cliffs
Hello Luke. Another beautiful diorama. The idea of spraying out the wash is great, I'll remember that. Thanks and regards - Tino
So nice of you to give Kathy a call out! What a great modeler she is! I'm also a fan of Marklin of Sweden - perhaps he could get the same treatment! In fact, he just recently did some sea spray with some aquarium filter which is a product that I think surpasses the pillow policy fibre!
Again amazing scenery Luke! I really enjoy your videos, thanks for all the tips and tricks ;)
One of your best dio's Luke, and I've watched them all. Gday from the Gold Coast.
Make some underwater models.
Love this too
Hi I have an idea u should do a snowy ruined castle diorama
This is just beyond amazing. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
This has got to be the best diorama I've seen in a long time... You are a wizard Luke!
Hey Luke! From where did you downloaded the divers? I haven't find any in the main sites :/
Found it!!! :D
27:04 you are just flexing now :P
Good to see you back mate... and a crackin' piece too. Loved the waterfall effects.
What scale is ho scale? It looks like 1/72nd, but I'm not sure
close, it's 1:87th
Can you try to make a fire station diorama next??
Great job! Thank You. Best regards from France
it is one of my goals in life to eventually have a hallway in my home with a bunch of dioramas like this sunken flush into the walls
Holy moly, this is amazing!! Amazing job as always Mr towan.
Thank you! Cheers!
Can we just take the time to thank Luke Towan for keeping the bottle flip alive
Good to see you back bud great work

he is back... i love you video
The man, the myth, and the legend returns and once again doesn't disappoint. Awesome video.
Every time I see an amazing diorama I think there’s no way you can top it. Then you go and release a video like this!!!!!
Amazing work!
Would be cool to see a diver inside the cave with a working flashlight ;-)
I just wandered across your channel and was so impressed with your artistry, talent, imagination, and your patience. Well done!!
Amazing stuff!
Brilliant job as always
as always, I'm in awe of your creativity. This is a nice way to end a busy workday.
the conclusion of this video is: get a soldering torch XD
lol... yeah they are super handy!
