Build & Animate an ULTRA-REALISTIC Diorama - Realistic Scenery Vol.16

If you’ve ever wanted to build a realistic diorama and actually have vehicles and bicycle riders moving along the road then this video is a must see!
In this video I’ll show you every step I took to create this fantastic diorama, including the building, working road with vehicles and bike riders and all the tiny details that fill the scene. It’s all there.
The Magnorail is the main feature of this diorama and this particular starter kit was sent to me from Clyde at Magnorail Oz.
Using the Faller car system is not always the easiest way to get era specific cars running as the size of the car is limited to what battery and motor will fit, the magnorail can work with any vehicle from O scale down to N and possibly Z scale.
The main limitation is vehicles that are too big as weight can be an issue if there are any inclines for big vehicles larger than O scale.
Check out www.MagnorailOz.com.au
Some of the details I use have their own dedicated tutorials and I only briefly describe the process in this video, for a more detailed description you can find the additional JPreporter tutorials here:

3D printer files, for those of you interested in printing the files I use in this project you’ll find them on my website, just be aware that I used an Anycubic Photon to print these files which is a very high detail resin printer, trying to print these files with an FDM 3D printer and not a resin 3D printer will very likely give a less than desirable result.
www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/downloads.html (if the files for this project are not there yet, check back in a few days as I’m still writing the webpage for that area of the website)
A little story for people who actually read the description… thank you
On the day I was taking photos it was pouring down with rain, I was waiting all morning for a break in the weather and when it did come I had about 45 minutes to get the shots, in the final shot 2 shots of the video you can see the rain coming over the hills, about 2 minutes after those shots it started pouring down again.
I would have liked to get better photos before finishing this video but due to the tropical cyclone nearby it was making it very difficult. When the weather eventually passes and we get some decent weather I’ll take some extra footage and post it onto the website.
The music used was downloaded from Epidemic sound.

So I don't want this to be a downer. For the last few months I have used your big build videos to help me sleep. I suffer from anxiety and depression (well before what going on in the world over this last year) your voice and video are soothing and peaceful and help relax me. I do thank you so much as I say I don't want to come across as negative. Keep up the good work and I look forward to future videos. 👍 Thank you.

Great work! I have a question, how did you get the lighting and sky to look so real? I actually thought this was real life footage at the start.

It's so amazing seeing the diorama come to the finished project but it BLOWS me AWAY when it's photographed in the real world, giving it an amazing realistic blend of real and constructed parts allowing for great "perspective" in the background! Just AMAZING!!!!😀

Hi Luke, I get a little OCD when you make tin sheets. It is your only 'non-realistic' modelling process.

I have a 009 layout and had been looking at how I could "retro-fit" a magnorail section. The problem was the depth of the track messing with my road levels and clearances. The idea of routing into the road to lose the depth solved my problem.

Re: Spray painting (even with an airbrush): There was, back in the day, a pretty well known professional model painter, whose name I can't remember at the moment--his talents were often shown off in "Mainline Modeler" magazine, a US model railroad specific magazine. In those days many modelers used lacquer based paints, brand name Floquil (the brand name is still around), and unfortunately this very talented modeler ended up killing himself, because he failed to use adequate respiration protection or a paint booth as part of his regimen. He died not of cancer, which many chemical compounds still make use of and can cause in the long-term...but literally of toxicity due to overexposure to chemically dangerous paint fumes and particulates. Not that even lower amounts of exposure will do you very much good either.... I bring this up because you, Luke, very often seem to spray paint, and particularly paints like Rustoleum, around somewhat haphazardly/casually, and without obvious, adequate respiration (at least where the videos are concerned). Maybe your regulars have already heard your recommendations where sprays are concerned, but as a new subscriber, those aren't all that obvious, even if they are already out there. Paint splattering? Cool. Dry brushing? obviously cool. Dusts, chalks and other dirts? Cool--you are as exposed to those as much as if you step outside and take deep breath (life is dangerous...lol!). But spraying paint inside a confined space is a bit riskier, particularly if you make modeling a life long hobby. Just sayin'. Otherwise, I LOVE your work. You get after it and get it done, which is a talent (and it IS a talent too) I can only envy. Props...!!...and thanks. Your channel rocks!

In America, we use a small cell soft sponge on things like corrugated aluminum foil.. (Not aluminium....) We also use primer so the paint doesn't flake off. But thats here in America where we dont do things backwards or drive on the wrong side of the road and the cars do not have bonnets... K....

Beautiful work mate, but watch out for cutting out pictures off google! If someone is feeling particularly litigatous you could get into copyright trouble. It's a bit gentleman's rules as well, generally you don't want to use images that aren't yours without explicit permission or purchase, especially if you are gaining monetary or reputation gains for it. You may have already accounted for this, not sure, and it's a bit confusing considering the JPreporter circumstances, but I figured I'd leave this in the comments for hobbyists as a heads-up from the artist world. There is a bit of sillyness to it but it's also because all photographers and illustrators have is their visualized ideas and it's hard to live off those, so they have to be pretty protective of them.
