"You'll have your shed covered before you know it." "I did this over a couple of days." I have just discovered your channel and have been watching a lot of your videos. I really admire your patience with tedious work.
You're my new Bob Ross. From now on I watch your channel and your wonderful creations whenever stressed or down. Bravo sir, your talent and smoothly delivered instructions inspire me. I may have to invest in trains and modeling.
Sad but I'm modelling on Z-gauge scale (1:220) so many of your wonderful ideas for dioramas are just too big! On the other hand many of your lovingly created details cannot be reproduced, they would be too tiny! But I love your skills, ingenuity and dedication to all the details. It's just fun watching your tutorials, and always I take home good ideas that I can realize even in small size! Thank you for the good job you are sharing with your followers. I'm happy to be one of them!
I find these dioramas to be so charming. i get nostalgia from when i was just a kid reading the old “I Spy” picture books, which all used this style of miniature scenery. It's quite a euphoric feeling actually.
G'day Luke, As an Aussie who grew up in the bush and has been living in the UK for 15 years, you have done 2 things. 1. You have inspired me to use your techniques to build the model farm as a gift for the oldies, and 2. You made me homesick! All the best mate!
I've done the same corrugation technique by investing in a (much cheaper) sheet of Evergreen corrugated siding and cutting off my own "mold" and "embosser". Works fine. Just in case some readers are shy of investing in this commercial product. Very nice work as always, Luke.
Yet another great video. A very handy tip with the foil. A coal tipple, roofing and the list goes on using the foil technique. Your skills and patience never cease to amaze me.
How the hell can someone dislike this? The details are awesome. It‘s like watching the revelation of a riddle. How did he that corrugated iron? And then you see it and you think it‘s genius
Totally blown away by how much time and work to make this build. its truly AMAZING!!! Luke. You are truly a Master Modeler. Thank you for showing us your work and talent. Your the Man.
+John Bellucci Thanks John, glad you liked it. I've got some less terrific videos coming out soon... just general type ideas and tips videos but I will have another big scenery guide out in about 2 months on making a waterfall scene. Should be ok. Cheers Luke.
"So let's get started and make some corrugated iron. First off you'll need a way to make corrugated iron" You had me in stitches already. This must be the step I've been missing
+Richard Redcastle lol, no worries mate, that's why I post the videos so others can copy and adapt the methods I use to their layouts. Thanks mate. Cheers Luke.
For weathering the wood, you could also do this. Get a bucket, or a cup, fill it with vinigar, then put steel wool in the bottom. Leave it over night, then just dip the wood structure in the bucket and leave it for a couple minutes, and it will turn out looking weathered.
Amazing work and superb results. - you have patience beyond compare and a brilliant eye for ultimate detail. Love the video work as well makes it easy to watch and get the most from. Keep up the good work.
+VooDoo Nights wow thanks for the great compliment mate :) It takes a while making these dioramas not to mention the video editing side as well. I assure you it certainly tests my patience at times! Cheers Luke
Another really excellent project, and video. I am impressed by how well you compress information, and adding in all the pips and links.. well, I know that takes time. Really nice. I love the acid etching of the foil for the corrugated roof. You can't get more realistic weathering than that. :) The foil crimping tool is pretty cool. But I shuddered at the fragility of the panels. It's hard to argue with the results though. As a funny aside, I really like your black cutting mat for a background. I might steal that if you won't take offense. ;) I've been thinking a lot more about my bench background and really need to clean it up visually. I've been thinking of white, but black is much closer to my heart. *grin* Nice weathering on the tractor as well. You didn't mention it, but I noticed. It really added a lot to the scene. Overall fantastic scene and content delivery. I always look forward to your videos.
+Terranscapes Thanks Mike, the foil is obviously very fragile but for the type of scenery I'm building which hardly ever gets touched once it's finished it's ok, but if you used this on a gaming board I'm sure it would get destroyed very quickly. I use a couple of different cutting mats, I really like black as you said it provides a nice clean background but I also like the light blue because sometimes the black clashes with other dark details. It's funny that you noticed the tractor! It was your comment on the last scenery video about adding a little weathering to the tractor that made me ensure I did it for this video... That one was for you ;-) Thanks for giving such great feedback as well, you're one in particular I like to watch and I always take your feedback on board. Cheers Luke.
Hi Luke, I have been watching a lot of your tutorials and I think your work is absolutely fantastic. I learned a lot I can put into practise. Greetings from the Netherlands
eBay might be your best bet? There are a few places that sell them, although I'm not sure if they are from overseas so it might take a while for them to arrive.
thanks for making me spend a few hundred quid on something i will no doubt move on from before long lol, great video's though, cant quite believe how real you make stuff look.
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?
I guess I missed this one! I am always looking for way to do things better and this prompted me to put in an order with Brunel Hobbies (although the shipping was more than the order!) . It should be fun to use. Thanks
It's beautiful work. Very, very realistic. Tires look overinflated though. Sanding bottom of tire makes it look like a real rubber tire under load. It does produce a bumpier ride though.
Awesome built and marvellous scene, as always. Maybe its just me but i think a little less trees would look better. Maybe a area without trees on one side.
Wow! What more can I say than what has already been said by everyone else? Fantastic job, mate! Ever do any modeling in N scale? HO is definitely a nice balance between size and detail, but N holds a special place in my heart due to the cramped spaces that I have always lived in. I love the realism and life you bring to your models, but I nearly had a heart attack at the thought of doing those corrugated sheets in N scale size! If you have any kind of tips or tricks for going even smaller, I would love to see some videos with your thoughts. At any rate, first rate video as always! (I showed my wife some of your vids, and she loves how you often drag the rest of your family into them as well - I think she was smiling because I often drag my family into my hobbies also.) I'm new to your videos, but glad I subscribed. I look forward to watching the rest, and seeing what new ones you come up with. Thanks, and keep up the fantastic work! Cheers!
+El Chick thanks again for a fantastic comment. My wife and especially my daughter really enjoy getting involved, making models is a bit of an introvert activity and hard to get others involved at times... especially due to the fact I'm a bit of a perfectionist so doing videos and getting them to help me and get involved is good. I built a small N scale layout but its been dismantled for a while now, I still have the buildings and trains though so some N scale videos are not out of the question. I still have a list of HO scale videos in the works at the moment but once my current layout gets finished I'll try to include some N scale as well. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos, I'm on holiday at the moment but once I'm back I'll be posting a couple of new videos, should be home in one more week. Cheers Luke
I've got a building near me with a large tiny model lol ironic. It's got 2 running trains around and through the whole model, a carnival with moving rides, and many homes with unique things about each of them and people everywhere. I want to make things like this and I can only imagine how much patience it takes.
Fantastic. Love your techniques and detail. Going to try to get one of those tools - I've been laboriously making individual bits of iron with a cocktail stick gig!
+davie maclean Thanks Davie, yeah this little tool makes light work of making corrugated iron, the cocktail stick gig sounds like a great idea though! Cheers Luke.
+Luke Towan Thanks Luke. Like all great ideas, it was someone else's, for O gauge, which I scaled down. I've been using cut down takeaway food containers, which is more sturdy than foil, but probably a bit thick! Cheers, Davie
+davie maclean Got a corrugated iron maker from Brunel. No one seems to do one this side of the planet. Glad I did, it works great and my cocktail stick jig, while still a good idea, would have been a good bit over scale for OO. Cheers, Davie
Kudos for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin finally got astronomical success with it.?
Luke! Love your videos man! You have a great narrating voice. Also, the amount of detail you put into your explantations and sceneries is very admiring! I don't participate in creating model railroads or making small sceneries but I find attention to fine details very fascinating and soothing to watch. Keep it up man!
"You'll have your shed covered before you know it."
"I did this over a couple of days."
I have just discovered your channel and have been watching a lot of your videos. I really admire your patience with tedious work.
cyrfung not to mention the tenny tinny scale hes working with
I hear there's zero crime in that town, mind you, they're all model citizens.
ha ha ha :) love it! Thanks for the laugh :)
Cheers
Luke
Luke Towan glad it made you chuckle ;)
Luke Towan can I mix some paint and add water to it and add it to the metal instead of the dangerous chimical? I spelled that word wrong by the way.
Debbie Meyer You'd be safer by hiring a team of really, really small painter and decorators, I did and the bill was tiny!
These puns are killing me.
there is something extremely calming about your videos!
Can you do a snow scene? It'll be so helpful.
Yesssss

+carmium Thanks mate, I had a few people share that method with me, each with a different technique, I'll have to give it a try.
Cheers
Luke
Yet another great video. A very handy tip with the foil. A coal tipple, roofing and the list goes on using the foil technique. Your skills and patience never cease to amaze me.
I had no idea there was a tool for making corrugated sheets! Thanks for all your great tips.
+gaza2421 yeah, I only recently discovered it and it does a fantastic job.
Cheers
Luke.
Thank you for sacrificing a small foil sheet to show us some miniature destruction.
im a happy guy, i just discovered this channel
😊
i simply love your videos! Great, i keep watching them again and again, you have loads of patience!
Dear Sir your videos are therapeutic. Such a precision and calmness with the superb final result. Bravo! Thanx a lot
How the hell can someone dislike this?
The details are awesome. It‘s like watching the revelation of a riddle. How did he that corrugated iron? And then you see it and you think it‘s genius
The guy at my local railroad model store says he loves your work, I do to keep it up👍🏻
Luke Towan:
These creations are blowing my mind. The roof assembly was so damn impressive. Amazing.
thanks mate, I'm planning on doing a few different building using the corrugated iron in the future.
Totally blown away by how much time and work to make this build. its truly AMAZING!!! Luke. You are truly a Master Modeler. Thank you for showing us your work and talent. Your the Man.
I'm not into hobby craft, but these videos are great for procrastination viewing.
You are a master. I am a fan. Thanks for all the modeling tips presented in a fun way. Rob
Can't believe how much that tin shed looks like the real thing! Great job!
I watch these to fall asleep yet i always get way too into them and end up staying up all night 😂
Very cool man!!! The corrugated sheets turned out great. It was cool to see your past work come together in one scene.
so nice work Luke...send some snow and desert miniature...luv you.
Watching this is better then yoga - makes me very chill
Glad this relaxes you. Thanks for your compliment 😀
Your work amazes me. The detail and realism is exceptional.
I just found your videos and have been bouncing through some of them. Your attention to detail is very enjoyable to watch. You have a great talent.
Another wonderful video, chock full of terrific ideas and techniques! Thank you, Luke!
+John Bellucci Thanks John, glad you liked it. I've got some less terrific videos coming out soon... just general type ideas and tips videos but I will have another big scenery guide out in about 2 months on making a waterfall scene. Should be ok.

"So let's get started and make some corrugated iron. First off you'll need a way to make corrugated iron"
You had me in stitches already. This must be the step I've been missing
"Looks quite good"... Not only a brilliant artist, but modest as well.
Grade entdeckt, bester Kanal seit langem! :O Kann nicht aufhören mehr zu gucken!
Very nice bit of work Luke. That's another one for me to copy. Thanks for these great how-to vids.
+Richard Redcastle lol, no worries mate, that's why I post the videos so others can copy and adapt the methods I use to their layouts. Thanks mate.

what a beautiful art form
Absolutely the BEST Chewtorials on the Internet!!!! These are just watch videos for anyone building a Layout that they can be proud of.
Trabalho incrível!! Nunca vi algo parecido!! Você é um artista profissional e tem um dom extraordinário! Parabéns!!!!!!!!
Awesome. Thinking of doing a replica of my grandfather's old work shed (now abandoned) on our property out in the west. This looks so cool. Good work.
Another really excellent project, and video. I am impressed by how well you compress information, and adding in all the pips and links.. well, I know that takes time. Really nice.

This is one of my favorite episodes.
Sweet 😊 Good to hear this. Glad you enjoyed and liked this episode.
Luke Towan omg hi
G’day nice video this is going to help me make my 1/64 scale farm thank you
Hi Luke, I have been watching a lot of your tutorials and I think your work is absolutely fantastic. I learned a lot I can put into practise. Greetings from the Netherlands
Hi Frank, thank you, glad you enjoy watching my tutorials. Have fun with your new learnt skills 😀
your videos are my happy place
Luke, your work is awesome! Keep the videos coming!!!!
+maxanddad1 Thanks mate, got a new video that will be posted on Friday morning US time, it's about making wire frame trees.
Cheers
Luke
Very cool! I'm still trying to find bag feet for the lights you made a video on. I am having a tough time finding them here in the states.
eBay might be your best bet? There are a few places that sell them, although I'm not sure if they are from overseas so it might take a while for them to arrive.
Really superb as always, appreciate the clear instruction and great videos.
Thanks for the great feedback Daniel, glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers
Luke
Very Aussie scene, excellent as always.
Thanks for the video. The scenery is close to perfection.
This is amazing. I don't know why this came up in suggested viewing, but I am glad it did. I subbed for sure.
thanks for making me spend a few hundred quid on something i will no doubt move on from before long lol, great video's though, cant quite believe how real you make stuff look.

When you said ,before painting the shed, it sounded like, before I paint this shit. Had me rolling.
Awesome built and marvellous scene, as always. Maybe its just me but i think a little less trees would look better. Maybe a area without trees on one side.
Great video Luke, thank you.
I have recently found your channel and I love your videos I wish you could somehow connect all of your models into a mega model!
I'm inspired to get a scenery kit going. Looks great when you can get it as good as yours.
Let's put in some clouds ... Yeah, some nice happy clouds
Another great video! You should do a wheat field with a tractor driving through it, that would be super cool!
This is amazing! I have been watching to your videos for days and I'm just passionated for your works!
Everytime i watch your vids i just cant stay on one video because they all look awesome!
I really like you work, congratulations
In not into trains
But I love working with my hands and wow what you do is amazing...
BRILLIANT!!! Wot utter paitience and skill
+Matthew Snowden Wow thanks Matthew! Thanks for the encouraging comment, always good to get such positive feedback.
Cheers
Luke.
this is my favorite so far
The lighting effect makes it look pretty realistic:D Good job Luke👍👍👍
Great job Luke. Very helpful video. Thanks for posting.

Your videos are so satisfying.Also your dioramas rock!
Wow! What more can I say than what has already been said by everyone else? Fantastic job, mate!

cool, it takes massive amounts of patience! But often the end result is worth the time and effort :)

Your works are amazing
Beautiful work!
Thanks :)
It would be so cool to make a model of a historical battle of some sort.

I thought the thumbnail was real. Wow your impressive! :D
Luke! Love your videos man! You have a great narrating voice. Also, the amount of detail you put into your explantations and sceneries is very admiring! I don't participate in creating model railroads or making small sceneries but I find attention to fine details very fascinating and soothing to watch. Keep it up man!
