you’ll find the files I used to create this awesome diorama. Because all of the interior details were downloaded from Thingivers.com I’ll provide links to the specific files however the exterior details were all designed on Tinkercad.com, I’ll provide the actual STL files for those items on the downloads page and they’ll all be HO scale.
In this tutorial I take you through the process of building a laser cut wood structure that is typically used for model railroad scenery and then I’ll demonstrate all the techniques used to create an awesome dystopian themed diorama.
Nearly all of the tiny details I use not only to model the interior but also all of the exterior details were printed on the Anycubic Photon 3D printer. All of the interior details were downloaded from Thingiverse.com whereas all of the exterior details including the garage were designed using TinkerCad.com and then printed. It’s quite amazing what can be built and designed using such a simple program with basic building blocks.
You’ll also see me using the Noch Gras-Master 2.0 to add the static grass, it’s quite an expensive unit but you are paying for quality and assurance. The grass applicator was sent to me for inclusion in the upcoming eBook and I decided to get a head start and try it out on this diorama.

Hi
makes a building
@29:27 Garage is also 3D Printer? Lol. Absolutely love the videos. I'm wanting to try my hand at making some scale models and I think I'm driving my wife mad talking about it and looking up information and materials, etc. Thanks for the inspiration!
I think time stamps are not working
you need to post more often bro, and also have you ever thought about seling diorama kits like a pre made scenery or a pre made theme i would buy that for sure. warm regards from brasil
I can't believe these videos are free, this paid-quality content.
Shhhhh!!!! Don't say that, he will get ideas...
Some of us do pay. It’s a pleasure to support, well worth the couple of bucks. Brilliant.
Shhhhhhhh
He earns money through youtube already by doing this
It's like therapy watching this stuff lol
"as most of these details will be inside the house, I wasn't too worried about them being absolutely perfect..."
*reveals absolutely perfect mini furniture*
:o
Hahahahaha if those aren't perfect then what is????
I was thinking the same thing ha ha perfection
Thanks for saving me from having to make the same comment.
hahahaha true
OMG I know right😂
Oh! I just had an idea! At 22:49 when you add the fence, I realized that you could attach some extra long strands of grass there, to simulate the edge that naturally occurs when mowing lawns; whenever I've mowed a lawn up to the edge of a fence, the blades have never managed to get all the way perfectly up to the edge, and even if they're hit with a weed-whacker it doesn't tend to have a 100% perfectly uniform surface. I think that having some slightly taller grass at these edges (including the house) would help a tiny bit more. :D I also wonder if you have a kind of super-stubby dead grass (either static or using your awesome chalk-scraping technique) that could be used to blend the high-traffic areas like where the tires roll and crush the blades of grass. I've noticed that unless a path gets an incredible amount of daily traffic, it tends to still have some withered strands of grass remaining, so perhaps this could help, too! :) Please keep up the phenomenal work! I'm glad to hear that Noch have taken notice and sent you some freebies, you definitely deserve it! Even though I don't think I'd make much use of these techniques, your videos are always so pleasant to watch while I relax.
Dam
You say this is a lengthy video but you could make hour long episodes and I wouldn’t complain XD
21:09 Australian bug, scaled to the model size accurately
Beautiful job, Luke. The length was necessary to show all the detail that you gave in this video. The level of detail that you included on this little diorama is absolutely fantastic.
Who watches this but never does them
Me lol
Me.. 🥴
Your useless member of society here
elyk llieno typically his vids help me fall asleep.. lol
elyk llieno me I just like small stuff
“I wasn’t too worried about making them absolutely perfect”
Has a bookshelf with individually painted books
This looks awesome! Will you ever make a winter diorama?
That'd be awesome!
Yea I'd love to see that!
agree
That is just an ozzy winter
@@manunathan12 hahaha he maybe doesn't know what snow feels like. Just kdn oc
14:25 I cant believe how well that rock fits there : O amazes me.
Oh and please make more of them! The longer the better!
Since I am really into dystopic scneries right now and working on one myself, I would really like to see you make one! Like something dark and damaged.
Legit won't ever use any of the knowledge I get from these videos but I keep coming back.
I havent touched models in my life but I watched all your vids its like a spiritual meditation/relaxation
(sooo u might keep this kind of audience in mind too) great work!
I've done wargaming scenery and dioramas before, and I can honestly say his work is top-notch. Not only does he do amazing work, but he presents it so clearly... :)
I could not agree more! I wish I had a creative bone but I dont so instead I too eagerly await the next video from Luke!!!
I think the amount of effort given to building the model house, was more effort put in to building my actual house.
Same
But if done well, both will end up looking real fine
I know, these tend to be better than muddy caves.
Wow. Another amazing diarama Luke. I can't even add a 'I love the ...' sentence here as there isn't anything on this diarama that I *don't* like. Excellent job 👍
A wealth of great tips in this video too 👍👍
21:10 gate crasher on the lattice :)
I think its Luke's pet from an earlier diorama!
Holy crap how'd u catch that!!
Was looking for this comment, I knew they had big spiders in Aus but I think I will stay away after seeing that monster.
That's just the small ones,at night i don't let the dog go out in case the really big spiders get him:)
Nooooooope. Nope nope nope nope nope nope NOPE.
Just came across this & when i seen the length of this video i thought, "i'll skip around & watch a min or 2...but not all of it." Boy, 30 minutes went by fast & i enjoyed every min of it! You have talented & patient hands my friend
Was that thing REALLY 30 minutes long?! OMG you are right.... I agree--it went by SO fast!
Those three roots are a great detail. It wouldn't come to my mind.
lol... I almost didn't add the roots! It was literally the last detail I added and that was because I almost forgot 🙃
I was super pumped when I saw the new upload! Great work as usual.
thanks mate, it's been a while since the last one!
I honestly though your profile pic was the flex-seal logo
These videos are like therapy for me.
I'mma 3d artist, I love watching diorama videos while working, it also helps my dynamic environment planning skills. It all carries over :P
48 people have no imagination and are stuck in a strange joyless trollscape of dusty hopelessness.. The skill, patience and care to make such wonders is astonding. Thank you for these videos
Dusty hopelessness? Don't be so cruel to Australia it does it's best.
I am obsessed with miniatures and this is where I come to fuel my hunger.
When I first saw the photo of the diorama on You Tube I thought it was real! Excellent work and tutorial. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm happy to see that you're receiving products for free! These videos always make my day.
holy cow!!!! This is probably the best diorama I've ever seen in my life
Nice work bro ireally admire you
Have you seen other videos from the Realistic Scenery playlist? There are real gems in there too!
ua-cam.com/play/PLA1bRusvoCbQH3FDWBYn4w5TCCKzMFXU7.html
I really like that you show your materials and tools in a speed, which allows it to find the things on the market.
Another thing is, that you show the details. Slowly and clear. That isn't natural for many video authors.
Thank you!
I watch these when I'm feeling anxious. Thanks for the assistance! Beautiful!
Isnt a true Boulder Railroad Creek video without some kind of 'giant' bug showing up.
The bug at 20:10 is a scale monster!
Well, the model does seem to indicate some sort of fallout, whether nuclear or otherwise, so it does seem probable that mutation resulted from such an incident.
I was scrolling for way too long before finding a bug comment lol
Who else watched the whole thing? I can never skip on any of your videos man. I love it.
Your work deserves museum attention. Very intricately detailed. Never seen anything like the architectural quality you create outside of one. I was a draftsman and appreciate the attention you use.
So happy that there is another one of these, it's great
That is really cool luke.
A professional architectural model builder in Adelaide once taught our class that to get an excellent scale effect never use vivid black or vivid white on models, always go off white or off black.
Love your work!
I fall asleep every night watching your videos. I have no idea what's so calming and relaxing about them, but I do. Thank you.
Once again.. Simply Amazing!
thanks mate, glad you liked it
No it's simply amazing....
It's detailed'ly amazing
Please do some disaster dioramas, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE,please
No replies that's sad
@@ajdhjaoakdn2ndgoogleaccoun929 you just replied
Your long "please" is a disaster
AGREED !
@@RMSLusitania ah, yes, I see your a man* of culture as well.
*or woman
I love to sit and watch your tutorials even though I work in 'n' gauge. You really are a very talented man
I don't know how I got here but I am thankful that someone like this exists. SuperUltraMegaFantastical work!
Your house will eventually look like this if you keep collecting dirt around your garage. lol. Great content and excellent presentation 👍
Smooth as always!
thanks mate
The most satisfying part of this video is how it is exactly 30:00 minutes long, not one second more or less. Beautiful.
What makes you one of the best is you attention to detail. People skip the small things which are most important.. I love this build. I’d like to see you do a stone house sometime
This is a great idea, I really love the dystopian twist. I always enjoy your videos, beautiful job
Eye catching indeed! Even the thumbnail is beautiful! Keep up the great work
Thanks Jim, I was undecided on the title for ages because I didn't want it to be misleading so it's good to know you liked the video and the title 😀
My great grandpa made miniatures. That's actually what got him into college, and he'd probably love your creations
Anyone who thumbed this down has to suffer from excessive jealousy that they can't accomplish the same quality of Luke's outstanding work.
Great work man. I will never make something similar but I watched it carefully and with delight.
Amazing clean work as always! Well done!
thanks Matteo 😉
What a great idea to use magnets to glue parts together. I haven't seen anybody use this idea before. Until now I always used clamps. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something.
Miniature painter and terrain builder here. The furniture looks great. Of course so does everything else as usual!
You are the Bob Ross of modelling
Bob Ross wishes he was this good.
I love the lengthy videos, awesome stuff. I appreciate all the hard work you do. How do you find the time to do all these masterpieces and fly? Keep em coming Luke!!! 👍🏻
haha i love the authentic dirt! while watching your videos sometimes i forget theres a whole real world out there too 🤗
You're an absolute magician, Luke. Brilliant work!
I love your videos you always keep me inspired and I wish I can be like you one day! Keep up the great content!
Thanks Ian, it's just practice really. I was a pretty average modeler but after a while with lots of trial and error I gradually built up my skills.
Luke Towan thank you
Luke Towan I got a challenge for you make a WW2 inviorment including the guns and bombs there is not any videos I can find on that that’s you challenge good luck!
21:12 that bug looks huge compared to the model it freaked me out when I noticed it was actually moving
Luke, you are a true artist! I hope you are not being affected by the wild fires.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Hey all,
I'm currently working on my next video and also moving house.
While waiting for my next video, I've created a new Instagram account for my fans to post completed dioramas you've created (Conditions apply).
You can check out the latest activity via: instagram.com/bouldercreekrailroad/
See you soon.
Cheers,
Luke
Nice mate
thank you
Hey man I really like to watch your shows, you make beautiful art. I’m just curious roughly how many hours does a project like this take you? I know you make a lot of your own pieces like trees and such so it might be hard to say.
Cheers.
It’s so satisfying to watch everything fit together so perfectly!
You are like the new Bod Ross, every time I watch your videos it's a mix of art class, ASMR and utter inspiration. Thank you!
Nice
Thanks mate 😀
*_43 + 27 + 9 = ?_*
Why not try a scene from Lord of the Rings, with this much detail, it will be awesome.
Your work is amazing. I’d watch a three hour video if it was you making a diorama. You’ve inspired me...
I'm glad I stumbled upon this channel, it got me heavy into model making
Hey Luke! I've been set a project in art where I must create a sculpture of some description, and have decided to try my hand at making a diorama! The project comes in three parts, research, practical and evaluation. Is there any way I can get in touch with you to get some help with completing some of the basic questions for research?
I think the easiest way to ask any questions is by sending me a message through my website, I'll do my best to give you some useful responses 🙂
It's hard for me to make any firm commitments due to my job, I'm an airline pilot when I'm not modeling and it takes up a lot of time. I'm flat out over the weekend and then again mid week but if you have questions I can try answer them when I get spare time (usually late in the evenings)
Luke, any chance you'd ever do a Q&A video? I had no idea you were a pilot which makes your videos even more amazing give the time commitment of being an airline pilot.
AND you're an airline pilot?!? My mother was right - I've wasted my life... :)
0:45 this house costs $78? Oh my dear God!
Im sure it was cheaper than the 3d printer! Haha
I mean it's laser-cut
Pretty normal price for the good quality you get
Awesome job!!! I've been modeling for almost 30 years and seing your video, gave me some new ideas!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful diorama!!!
I like this grass. It doesn't looks as desolate as the Australian out back ones
Is the bug at 21:10 part of the model? Jk, another great model!
Look at that huge spider
He came to see the property and decifer whether or not the cost of rent was too steep
Bug just wants to check the house out
Loot Lake PREDICTED
Wow, this is amazing! I actually am happy that this amazing model got (almost) full 30 mins of attention :D
Luke, you're the Bob Ross of dioramas. Such skill and such soothing videos. Love your work.
Thanks for the amazing compliment Rafael
You should make the gorillaz flying windmill

"A massive earthquake drastically shifts the landscape of the Morioh-Cho coast" (2012, colorized)
Easily one of my favorite channels! Amazing stuff as usual
This is the first video of yours that I have watched; you are amazing. A true artist.
It's cool to see the "archive footage" bits, nicer than just mentioning a previous project, makes me want to watch everything!
Good to know how I can make John's house from Homestuck now
Very nice job!
I adore this! Thank you so much for working so hard to build and film these! I’d love to see more fantastical builds like this in the future.
My favorite day of the month! Whenever Luke uploads a new video!
I would crush those windows just looking at them. I loveeeeeeee watching these 😍
Once again sheer perfection! Your ability is amazing.
Over 516k subs and still growing...that's fantastic Luke! Great job. Cheers. 😊
I am watching the entire series all over again because every episode is just magical 🙌🏻
I have watched this video, at least 10 times (possibly more) and it's awesome every time!
It's such a thrill watching your creations slowly come to life!
When life gets me down I watch luke make a tiny world where bad things don't happen and all seems right with the universe, at least for a little while.
THE HOUSE AND THE FURNITURE ARE SO CUTE OMG OMG OMG
Blooming amazing.
I am blown away!!!!! Amazing.
I think you could say this is the land of the condemned! Brilliant Luke, just brilliant!
Oh man cant wait to watch new video. These are so relaxing thank you.
20.03 that looks really satisfying.
An oldie but a goodie. Love this channel
I seen someone suggest making disaster dioramas & I agree 1000% ! That’d be super cool.
Brilliant as usual. I could watch this for days.
