    Things to spot in the video…
    1: My daughter
    2: A horse eating some grass
    3: Where’s Wally 3 times
    4: A bird with its wings spread out and his 4 buddies
    5: A wandering ant
    6: A jumping spider - it actually jumps!
    7: A Koala… It’s near impossible to see so I’ll give you a clue, it’s in a tree very close to the dirt road (last clip of the video)
    Let me know in the comments if you managed to spot them all

      What would an ant walking trough a diorama think.. "oh WOW i'm finally HUUUUGE..". Gets to end of diorama.. "Yay i'm gonna crush those darn huma... oh.."

      My mom has these collectible ceramic houses that she always gripes about having to set up each Christmas, I’m hoping to do a kind of interlocking snowy diorama that can be easily set up and taken down. Would love to see tips and techniques from Luke.

    • @pherja
      @pherja 5 років тому +2

      None of your Business it’s all about scale. Get the scale of the detail right and you’ll get a realistic diorama. Everyone likes to use thick, flaky white stuff to replicate snow, but if you shrink snow down to that size it’s really pretty smooth so it’s actually better to use plastic and then stipple it or use some very fine white powder. Also snow is made out of water so it has a clearness to it, a translucency to it. it’s not opaque white, so there’s also that that you have to think about. But again, at that scale, the translucency is reduced. Hahaha. This is what makes dioramas fun and what makes the GOOD ones so realistic!

And please ask the Lord Jesus to bless you with wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment. And please ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you for all of your sins and transgressions.

    I always get those feelings of wanting to live in a fantasy world or dioramas. And always get excited on super realistic ones.
    And kept telling myself I can find the real life version in the real world. This made me slow down in my routines and stop time to time to just grasp the views I often overlooked.
    Also, you're awesome, dude. Keep it up. Looki g forward if you decide to make fantasy ones.

    Love this video - I watched it some time ago but returned to it after I had Sculptamold problems. I used it directly onto a plywood board, layers no thicker than here and certainly less wet, it went hard but not plaster hard (indoors in a dry home). After several days it went mouldy and I had to rip it all off - I would think twice before using it in future. Thanks for the great videos - always inspiring.
