Build an AWESOME bridge - Realistic Scenery Volume 10

If you’re looking for inspiration to build and design a bridge for your model railroad or for a scenery diorama then you’ve found the right video. In this tutorial I take you through every step of the process to create an awesome realistic looking model diorama or a scene that you could incorporate in to a model railway layout possible even a wargaming terrain piece.

Also if you want more specific details about what measurements I used for this bridge and all the types of scale lumber I used you can find all that information here at boulder creek railroad:

The model is built to HO scale which is 1:87th scale however the same techniques could be used for N scale right through to O scale and larger.

A little story about the diorama:

There were a couple of things about this diorama that I would change in the future, the first being the color of the bridge.

This leads back to good lighting when building and painting models, the lighting I was using at the time of painting the bridge gave a false impression that it was more grey than it actually was, so at some stage over the next month or so I may repaint the bridge by adding a coat of grey over the top.

Secondly I would have liked to make the diorama longer, that way I would have been able to get better shots looking along the track whilst filming the run bys. This is not a major issue but just something I would likely improve upon on the next diorama.

I hope you enjoyed watching and managed to pick up a tip or two.

This is by far one of the best channels on YouTube.

As humble and as down-to-earth as you seem to be, I doubt if you realize how incredible a modeler/diorama maker/teacher you are. It's seems impossible, but each video is more amazing than the last. When you started curving the track with your simple homemade block, I was saying, "Come on! Who thinks of something like that?" Genius. You have a lot of subscribers. You deserve triple the amount.

From a qualified bridge and wharf carpenter, i have to say this is an incredible reproduction. Beautiful work mate.

Not only are your build tutorials of the highest quality but most viewers will not fully appreciate the time it takes set up the video recording equipment, lighting, editing, adding text and sound overlays that make your YouTube videos outstanding. I'm awestruck!

I just live your work...trains and landscape....its the most beautiful combination...

I always say that every single section of a model railroad layout should be built as detailed as your dioramas in order to look realistic, your fantastic videos show how to achieve great results. Takes time, practice and patience. Thank you MASTER for sharing !!!

What's the name of the background song by the way?

Thank you for a great tutorial Luke! Nice to see how the diorama came together so nicely. Especially love the weathering of the bridge!

The precise details make this kit fool proof. I will be building it for N scale as it is a matter of dropping the scale down in half. Thanks for the post.
