      Its looks like something ILM would have done in the 70s/80s orbthat I'd see if a Model Railroading magazine about scenics. So amazing.

    BRAVO. I have never seen anything so realistic or beautiful in my entire life, and I'm 72-years old. This surpasses CGI, photo realistic painting, anything. This is true art... amazing!!!

      ​@@HighEyeWorkshop Haha. I ended up waiting until the video was over. It was like that great book that you just couldn't put down. The results of your work are so amazing! Jawdropping, in fact. It's something that I'll have to work up to. Not due to lack of skill. I'm sure I can crush a project like this, now that I know how it is done, thanks to you. But I see there are a lot of products that go into such a beautifully realistic creation. None of which I already have at home. So I'll have to build up my arsenal after lots of researching and price comparing. Thank you so very much for sharing. I subscribed in the first 5 minutes of watching, so I'm going to check out your other videos now.

    One of the finest dioramas Ive ever seen. This video is really really good. You can learn a lot of techniques and learn about a lot of products and what you can do with them. I guess the 48 thumbs down were a result of jealousy. Peace

    Watched this entire video with my mouth open, drooling a bit onto my notepad. This is the best choreographed and edited lesson on UA-cam, bar none. If anyone has difficulties with painting oceans (esp Atlantic Ocean that changes on a blink) and seas and beaches, this video has incredible instructions on color and form and even lighting (with the glossy resin mix). So impressed, will watch again and again as a master class. Thank you so very much ... lovely background music (not intrusive), terrific audio balance, the closed captioned details, and straight-forward product info ... wow. Checking out Patreon right now!

  • @SBKNO1
    @SBKNO1 5 років тому

    Hey Merrick. Terrific work. This is the greatest hobby ever. Here's an idea I just tried and it works. After the resin pour hardened, I used gloss medium on top of the resin along the river's edge. Then my grass applicator. It looks like grass growing [IN] the water. I lightly added leaves to look like other plant growth in the water too. Cheers everyone !

    As somebody who has had to make all kinds of landscapes/debris-scapes etc over the decades I have to say this is one of the very best and deeply nuanced builds I've ever seen (and, as they say, I've seen a lotI). Beautiful work. I am now dealing with making a miniature alien-ish jungle that has to "behave" in reaction to high winds and lashing rains (jangling leaves, vines etc), that has to hold together for quite a while under a lot of physical, mini-storm torture without disintegrating (or at least with minimal disintegration). It has to work in moderate forced perspective...I sure look forward to the continued work on this...and find your detail, patience and acute visual skills a real inspiration (Also confirms that I am not the one lone landscape "nut" around). Thank you for your extraordinary posting.

    11:33 that looks really good, like a recently dried up river bed. I love the water features in models. They’re my favorite because they always have a large amount of depth. It feels like it’s the easiest part, or rather feel like you don’t need a huge amount of specialized equipment like you do with the grass.
