This River in Four Seasons is something I've wanted to make for a long time.
People are forever asking me to make a snow diorama or a winter diorama or an autumn diorama, so I thought, 'Why not do it all in one river diorama?'
I'm happy with how it turned out - especially the water effects - though I would make some improvements to the epoxy resin water effects next time.
Overall, I think this is an awesome model river and I hope you enjoy watching it come into being!
Music (main theme): Riot by Pressure (KZfaq Audio Library)

Woooooow. I absolutely love this one. This is by far the greatest thing I’ve seen on my fyp in a while. The way you made the fall and winter parts of the river was incredible. This video really inspired me to actually try and start making dioramas. I absolutely love your content. Keep on going.❤❤❤

Love your video and your dioramas. I just have a little tip to cut the ends of your resin. I always use a nail file to rip those ends, works great.

@HighEyeWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

Good tip. Thank you! Cuticle scissors would work a treat.

Thanks very much. It was fun. I just wish I had more room to make big things! Like your Shire (which was awesome, by the way).

@@HighEyeWorkshop Thanks man. :) And yeaaahhhh. I'm quickly moving out of space myself lol. Especially now that that Shire board is done. Going to be moving onto some smaller stuff again but I think I might look at renting out a storage unit pretty soon here. Big or small though, your work is stunning and I think these pieces are the perfect size to showcase that. :)

Ah, thanks a lot. I haven't been able to commit the time I'd like to my channel and my projects over the last year, so engagement is suffering. But I've had to prioritise my mental health and hopefully I'll have chance to move things forward a bit now. Appreciate your kind words. Really good to see how your channel has grown. Well-deserved.

Also as you said, the river effects are amazing - I really enjoyed how you transitioned to the still winter ice (and how you placed all the snow on the rocks there) Lovely video as usual, good luck with your next project and have a wonderful day!

Hi Merrick, a quick question for you. Is the mod podge gloss supposed to be a little bit runny out of the bottle, or a medium thickness? The last two bottles I have bought have been quite a bit thicker than yours and Luke's. When I tip my mod podge bottle it barely runs out of the bottle. I wonder if this is just really old mod podge and could be the reason why I keep getting bubbles after spreading it. It is frustrating me profusely! The first bottle I bought was much runnier than the last two bottles I bought, and that one produced the same effect as in your video. Yours looks very easy to spread...mine, not so much😥

@HighEyeWorkshop Жыл бұрын

Depends on the ambient temperature. If it's cold here, the glue is thicker.
