Build a Museum Quality Train Station - Realistic Scenery Vol.25
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- This tutorial will walk you through some of the tips and tricks for building an ultra-high quality model that could be a feature in a museum! It’s really not as difficult as you might think.
Most of the 3D printer files used to add detail in this scene can be found on my website at:
www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/...
This model is in HO scale however like with nearly all of my previous videos the techniques I use can be applied to just about any other scale, from Z scale right through to G scale!
I use a lot of techniques that you will have seen in previous videos plus a whole lot of new never before shown techniques for creating unique effects, below you’ll also find a list of companion videos for things like the chain-link fence, various trees on the model as well as some tools I use.

It was just last week I was thinking: "hmm... Luke Towan hasn't uploaded in a while". Now I can see why - this was so worth the wait!
Dioramas: Completely and total realistic.
People in Dioramas: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Me just now
Me too once in a while I was checking the channel for new diorama

@@BoulderCreekRailroad use your resin 3d printer and paint them! :)
Maybe highly detailed 3D printed people would look better?

All right
Just wanted to thank you for your videos ! They are brilliant! I am just starting an 8x4 layout with room for extension later on and you have given me so many ideas. Your detailed explanation of steps during construction and attention to detail is genius! Thanks Luke
"No station would be complete without an outdoor dunny. I've 3d printed some giant hunstman spiders for added realism. You can't see them because they are under the toilet seat."
What? Huntsmans hang out in gaps in the sheeting so they can scuttle out and scare the shit right out of ya. Everyone knows it's redbacks that hide under the seat
Wheres the roof?
@@hairymcnipples fun fact: daddy long legs aren’t (huntsman) actually a spider!
@@hairymcnipples bro it’s a joke
@@hairymcnipples There is a song "Redback on the toilet seat" a quick search of RUclips will find it. It comes from the days in Australia when toilets were called " the dunny" and were out side the house in the back yard. In rural areas the dunny was a usually a long drop which when it was full you just dug another one.
You are the Bob Ross of model railroading
TVZ Luigi but what if Bob Ross was the Luke Towan of painting?
I was about to say this!
@@williamreininger7546 No, just no.
Thats like saying you make kitchy crap 😂
I'm watching this before bed to give me a sense of calm
The best part is always you putting your models in front of real scenery. They just blend in so well!
Yeah having a real scene in the background and some natural sunlight is the trick for sure!... now my secret is out 😄
I watch the entire videos just to see that part. Don’t get me wrong there is something very calming in watching the videos, but that end shot is always the best part.
@@williamreininger7546 ...and it´s always too short
When he said that the colour scheme is modelled after Pyramid Hill station, I jumped up from my chair! I came from that very small town and used to wait in that station to take the train coming from Swan Hill to Bendigo and Melbourne. My family still lives there. Dude, I never thought I would see or hear Pyramid Hill mentioned anywhere. Brought back so many memories of my early life in Australia. Thanks Luke for this awesome video! Cheers mate.
Title Says, “Build Museum Quality Train Station”. Everything Luke builds is Museum quality. Another great one.
How... I'm just absolutely gobsmacked every time I see you make something new... This seriously looks like a station my train might stop at
That's quite the compliment 😀 glad you enjoyed it.
I'm in NC and have just begun doing realistic modeling and I want to thank you Luke for the inspiration! Amazing tutorials for a beginner like myself!! I am going through cancer treatments and this helps me keep focused and relaxed, so once again, thank you for the inspiration!
"This belongs in a museum". Most RUclipsrs need a clickbait title to sell their vids.... You're just stating the facts 🙂🙂
Anyone got the Indiana Jones reference?
@@doubledarefan I didn't - I thought he was being uncharacteristically boastful. Not that it is not true.
All your work is museum quality, actually better than quite a few displays in museums now!
Last night: "Luke Towan seems due for another video..."
Today: The prophecy has come true...
Amazing, as always. The work is beautiful, but the way you shoot and edit makes the process so enjoyable to watch. I hope you never get tired of doing these. :)
7:57 plugging a USB key on the first try? Now *that* is impressive! ;)
You really need to make sure that every model has the ability to be joined in some way to others, imagine an entire series of your models placed into a massive display at model railway shows for example. It would win first prize for sure. Great video and great modelling as usual!
Do you know how much work it would be to move these models to a train meet. It's not just something you pack in your van. Love his work
@@timothydore2302 I don't doubt that at all, but it would be awesome to do. I've seen some modellers build great big trailers with drawers and side entry so carry all the segments in one hit. It can be done.
@@timothydore2302 How do you think railway modellers get there layouts to events!? it's no different to what Luke would need to do!
And just when the world needed him the most, he returned
I am almost sure I have stood on that platform in 40c heat and waited for the Vline back to Melbourne. It's so good and detailed!
And my day just got 100x better now that Luke’s uploaded
Wonder if there is a lot of peps like me that don't have this as a hobby or anything, who is just here to admire the craftsmanship and his voice walking you trough the build :)
well i don't have nearly enough patience to build models or anything in that field but i love watching this videos. Great work on this one it looms awesome.
Adds a safety line to "keep people from falling off" and I'm thinking "you silly man people aren't that small". Then it hits me... "this dude is a pilot, everything looks scaled down to him on a daily basis. Small IS reality to him!" Lol
My uncle (an artist for NASA) is quote as saying anyone can be a good artist with enough patience over time. You sir always take the time.
What a convincing model. I"m Australian and i instantlyl recognised this as depicting an Australian location. After watching the video I am just like so many others - in AWE at Luke's understanding of the tiny nuances of what he's modelling. Thank you Luke, this is a study level video that we could all aspire to.
Wow, 100+ hours of work and 28 hours of video. Awesome job! Thanks.
My only negative feedback is that no v-line train is that clean. lol, amazing work. Bloody brilliant.
Not only the modeling work is amazing, but something to notice is how much more enjoyable are the videos because of the editing job. I just have the need to point that out.
Wow this is amazing! The wait for a new 'Realistic Scenery' was long but it's always worth the wait! Keep it up mate!
I find this very relaxing and enjoyable, great job of making the Victoria Train Station diorama Luke, the nature scenery around it gives it an nice touch.
That's GORGEOUS!
I've been away from model railroading a while, and I hope to get back within the next year. This shows some excellent techniques to try.
Another incredible build Luke! I’m glad that you’re back to making model train subjects again. :) Keep then coming. Cheers!
Always get excited when I see an alert for one of your videos. LOVE IT!
Seeing you work on your projects always blows me away Luke. By the time I get to the end of the film I am in awe with the finished diorama.
How could anyone not like this video. It's amazing. And why are so many people so reticent to hit 'like'. It costs nothing to hit 'like'. I wish I had the time and space to make some of these dioramas myself. Watching videos by a master craftsman like Luke will have to suffice.
Your work never ceases to amaze me. You have an amazing talent for capturing beautiful scenes and structures. Thank you so much for sharing your projects with us!
Beautiful scenery work. Every time I see your videos I’m just in awe of the beauty and realism. Amazing video.
Always a joy to see your work Luke. Please please please don’t stop what you do!!
Another masterpiece crafted by an amazing person. I love every work u do and i'm learning so much from your tutorials. Also a great way to end a really hard work day.
Phenomenal work once again Luke. I learn something new on every single one of your videos and this is no exception
This was great! Always love watching your builds and picking up tips.
i honestly love waiting for months to get this kind of quality content! every time Luke updates it’s a 30+ minute trip to pure relaxation, and i learn something along the way that i can use in my own personal builds.
Fantastic tutorial, and model, Luke! I'm really glad to see the Victorian, and V/Line, theme come back :) You've really captured a typical Victorian Railways country station beautifully. And I love the way you've done the track; a few years ago I was looking at, along with a friend, using hand laid code 55 rail with timber sleepers and etched plates/spikes. But the amount of work needed meant I just stuck with peco code 75 instead... I'll definitely need to look at this method for a planned layout though! And you've made me want to get back onto the scenery for my current Victorian branchline layout :)
It's also great to see a few Aussie brands coming up. SMS is doing great work with their paints, powders, and other items (I absolutely love their sprue cutters!). Hopefully more people pick up their products.
I'm not sure if you've come across them, but there's some nice ballast products from Matts Ballast, and Chucks Ballast. Both make great range of ballasts to represent ballast from various quarry locations. You'd be amazed at what we successfully used for ballast in Victoria (loco ash was common; we even had a few branchlines that are recorded as 'sand ballast'...).
Holy moly Luke! You’ve done it again, that has got to be the highest quality ever!!! Well done 👍 Nice touch with having Bullarto changed to Pyramid
Cheers mate, it was heaps of fun to build, glad you liked it 😉
@@BoulderCreekRailroad this video is going to be a great help once I start building my end to end layout based around the small town of Bridgewater. Thanks again Luke for bringing these videos up to the world!
From those life like models to you super clean tools and workspace...everything just inspires and motivates me to keep on improving.
Thanks Luke for doing a video for my Bullarto station kit, Since you have built this kit I have changed the laser cut windows to 3D printed as I have purchased a few resin printers.
He is really good at bottle flipping 😅
Nah... he had just spent 30% of that 28 hours of footage trying to get the bottle flips right... :D
@@razeclp3989 🤣🤣
Oh my god it’s finally happened!! Another upload! Thank you ❤️❤️ I’ve been looking forward to this for an eternity 😂
*Such a HUGE civilian diorama, beautiful step by step built, the mastery of detailing is present on this video!*
Marvelous. Finally, we gonna get the joining modules! Thanks Luke
luke mate. you're lucky its a friday with you uploading it this late!
Lol, yeah I'll have to go to bed soon 😴
Lol It is 5am in the USA and it took me several minutes of listening to Luke's accent to figure out that you weren't joking....
@@BoulderCreekRailroad it's good to be living in india,cause all of my American and western notifications come at 3 am but yours come at evening since I live in India
@@BoulderCreekRailroad hi, what's the time in Australia? Its 7:30 PM in india
@@CANVASARTS123 depending on which timezone he lives in, it is almost 1am or almost 2am (but he posted an hour ago, at either midnight or 1am)
You made my day man! Been very depressed lately and you videos help me alot
Simply amazing. Thanks for posting and all the hard work that goes into it!! Love your workshop, too!
Your work is absolutely spectacular. It's amazing. THANK YOU for taking us along.
I have been asked by my brother in law a very interesting question: What is the channel that you are most excited to see show up in your sub feed? Luke Towan is the answer.
Awesome video! God bless you and yours!
fantastic, the rail dry bushing delivers the perfect finish
Love the final zooming out shot: a perfect conclusion!
Yaaay, a new video 😃 I've found your channel just a few days ago and binge watched pretty much all of your videos, while been in lockdown. Such great content, thanks for the distraction from the current situation. Warm regards from Germany :-)
Mr Luke Towan
The most perfect timing video uploader out there.
A truly exquisite example of modelling done right. Thanks for another fine tutorial. Easy to understand, well illustrated and very much appreciated.
3d printing your own flex track, absolute madness!!
30% of that 28 hours of footage was getting the bottle flips right, wasn’t it?
I’m watching this at school and I’m so excited thank you for making my Friday even better!
Lol 😃 anything is better than an English lesson!
Teachers all over the world are having a fit. BUT, you are learning something. Much better than most kids who playing video games while they should be paying attention to the teacher on zoom or webex during Covid.
@@duanebeyer950 I’m doing in person school btw I forgot to say that
As an architect and scale railway models enthusiast, I love your videos, and really enjoy watching all the details and passion over each model. You did an amazing job !!
No better friday than a Boulder Creek Upload Friday!
Waiting for a long time.....
This is a marvellous model😍
i am watching with no intention of making anything like this but i really like how you make these kind of things
This is the most genuine channel on RUclips, what a nice Chap.
You are an inspiration Luke - thanks for going to all of this trouble to produce such an outstanding model and video
I've recently become a paraplegic your videos have really picked me up in a difficult time,cheers Luke!
Me: You have important things to do today.
Also me: Forget it, Luke in on.
I look forward to every one of your videos Luke. They are inspiring me to try some modeling projects once I have my workshop set up.
Another fine example, well done Luke. You've nailed this one!
Luke, hope the flying has picked up for you down there. Block hours are still way down for us!
Yeah I think I'm quite luck being a regional pilot, it seems the regional flying is picking up a bit faster than domestic. I feel for the international guys! International flying is almost non existent in Australia at the moment!
I stopped everything I was doing when I got the notification for this video.
Love the station building (and associated buildings ) passable as early NZ.
I can picture a "Red Rattler" at your beautifully finished station . I'm 73 and can still remember "SPENCER STREET" station , and some of it's secrets ....lol They use to have weighing machines on them ,...some for parcels and some big silver ones for people.
Cheers Luke , .........keep up the magic .
Only youtuber i give a like before watching the video^^
He makes bottle flipping look good
Another beauty! I watch this just to relax and be inspired.
Luke, your talent and modeling skills are above and beyond any words I can think of. Outstanding.
I would love to see you recreate an 11 Foot 8 "canopener" bridge scene.
lmao same
that would be amazing
Oh my gosh Luke, loved every second of this video. Wonderfully made. Thank you....btw does your wife know where all her clothes pegs have disappeared to 😄😄. Take care as always
Some excellent tips for model makers. I really enjoy watching these videos-and I keep on learning new tricks.
i'm always in awe of how incredibly realistic Luke's work is!
Leshgo always hyped for these so relaxing and interesting!
Nice 😀 I hope you find this one relaxing a well.
“You’ll want to make sure to roughen the foam surface before glueing”
Me, putting the foam in a headlock: “Ok listen here nerd, don’t make this difficult”
Outstanding! A superb diorama! Haven't seen a 600DRC for a while. A great model. Always thinking of a DERM arriving at a station like this.
Ever since I’ve started watching Luke Towan videos I’ve wondered how a whole layout of his would look. It would be CRAZY realistic! Such amazing modeling skills.
8:23 Look at that flex. "I have so much alcohol, I can use it to make 3D prints!" XD
Boulder Creek Station.....with no creek????
Yeah, he should make the next piece with continuing tracks and a creek.
@@therussianprincess7036 Remember the muddy creek diorama he made? ruclips.net/video/HEG3d0cMuv4/видео.html
@@aydoyt but would the tracks be compatible? He printed these out himself...
@@therussianprincess7036 I don't know, he could always switch out the tracks with normal tracks, no biggie
Don't need much water effect from Pyramid Hill station. :'D
Thank you so much for this . Just made my day better .
Awaiting the adjoining dioramas ..
Guessing it to be an Australian tour
Simply mindblowing! Without a doubt an admirable level of dedication and patience Luke. Big up sir, also to the video production of course. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it as always!
Never have I clicked faster
Lol you were onto it so fast! And a super quick comment! Hope you enjoy watching 😉
@@BoulderCreekRailroad I did
5:52 Wally is still curious about your building techniques!
Luke? Is the dunny intentionally left without a roof?
Well done! I was wondering who would be the first to spot him 😉 he shows up a couple of other times as well 🔍
@@BoulderCreekRailroad So far I saw him here:
0:28 Next to the lamppost
5:52 Hiding behind the roof
33:36 In the dunny
36:26 Next to the lamppost
36:51 Still next to the lamppost
37:07 And still next to the lamppost
I'm not saying I'm obsessed by Wally, I just happened to spot him a lot this time...
Railway station male toilets often went without a roof in Australia.
I thought that was a little odd. But I've lived my entire life in the USA so I assumed it must be an Australian thing to have some toilets without a roof. Making room for Waldo definitely makes more sense.
You are THE Master, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I just love those blue high- tec clamps , that you've used .
Now I need to get a set or two .
I feel like he's trying to one-up himself every episode
The mortar dust effect looked amazing!
Surely an Australian train station needs some giant spiders hanging around, with dessicated human corpses hanging from webs
And Drop Bears.
@@johnn1381 and land sharks!
Look out!
The flying 'gators!
AAIIIEEEE!
Amazing as always Luke, thanks for the great tips in all your videos.
I love your channel. This module is the most detailed yet, I'm impressed as usual. Can't wait for the next video.
How do you make this all while upside down?!
