I'll never forget how when my channel was pretty new and I sheepishly asked you a question about what materials might make good water effects and you immediately called me and chatted with me for a while as I walked through home depot, giving me a full rundown on what would work well and why. You have always been incredibly generous with your vast wealth of knowledge and your status as an all time legend in this space is graven in stone for eternity. Your impact and influence can never be understated! I wish you all the best in your next adventure. Love Love Love brother

We'll miss you mate, KZfaq can be tough, and though I'm sad to see you go, I'm grateful for all the inspiration you've given me and so many others over the years. Wherever you find yourself, I hope it's the perfect fit and brings you satisfaction and happiness! ❤

8 months have passed and I can feel the emptiness in my feed... hope you are doing great. Big up from Spain.

You was, are and will be THE reference of terrain building here on KZfaq. Love your spirit, courtesy, professionality. Good luck for your next Adventure, mate. Cheers from Italy ❤

Sad to see you go, Luke. I always appreciated how you and I could get nitty and gritty about camera gear. It was amazing to see how quickly you went from total noob to insanely knowledgeable in the cinematography space. Good luck with your future!

You'll be missed Luke, but I'm happy for you. It takes a lot of hard work to accomplish what you've done and you certainly left a positive mark on this community. It's also hard to leave once you've built yourself up in the way you have. I appreciate all our conversations, and your help throughout the years. I wish you all the best! Take care my man!

I've been with you since the Luke's APS days and I still go back and reference those older videos for terrain projects. This channel helped introduce me to MS Paints, Benji's Hobbies and The Pickle Jar and I thank you for that. You will be missed and I wish you nothing but the best and good fortune for the future. Love love love.

You're a legend mate! The community will be poorer for your absence, but the mark you've left on it will be enduring. Now get out there and find what you're looking for! I'll wish you luck in whatever you do, but we all know you won't need it. You're are, and always will be, an amazing and talented bloke, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Be happy in what you do Luke. You will be missed.

You’ve been a legend on the scene. Inspired so much creativity, passion and hobbying out in the community. Good luck!

Geez Luke, I can only say you’ve had a profound (and positive) impact on my hobby progress (even when I actively stepped out of the hobby for much time). Hobby content or not, wishing you all the very best, and again, many thanks for all you have done!

I hope it all works out for you and you find the peace of mind and tranquility in life you need and deserve, have loved watching your videos and they have been of a great help in my journey in this hobby, all the best mate 🙂

Gutted mate. You've been an inspiration, a teacher, a catalyst and a source of much entertainment and interest for over 5 years. You've given so much to myself and many many others. Its a very sad loss for us all. Best of luck to you, you are going to be very sadly missed :o(

You were a huge inspiration to me, Luke, and to thousands and thousands of others. I hope whatever comes next for you brings you joy! You deserve it.

One of the best terrain channels on KZfaq-learned so much watching you, Luke. Best of luck in the next chapter and thank you for all the amazing videos that will live on for more gamers to discover for years to come!

My family will miss hearing your "How do, guys!" every week almost as much as seeing your amazing works of art. You'll continue to be an inspiration. Best of luck in your next chapter!

GGS was one of the first channels I discovered when I got back into the hobby during lockdown, and I built my first boards following Luke's videos. I even managed get my hands on the wallpaper for the cobbled streets! lol This channel makes the hobby so approachable, and its a true shame that Luke is leaving. Best of luck in your next adventure. love, love, love.

Always best to leave on your own accord. I hope even though you are burnt out your love for the craft never ends. You've done such amazing work over the years. Best of wishes, and I hope your can rest your mind. Good luck!

All the love Luke. Im still gonna want to talk to you, you know. And I’m exited to hear what you will be doing next. Love to the family 💜

I really admire how long you've been in the game for and all of the incredible work you've done for and in support of the crafting community. I'm new to the scene, but I can only hope that I can one day have the level of impact you've had on all of us. All the love and respect to you for making such a difficult decision for your own well-being. Good luck with this new chapter!

I've been watching your videos since the very first one, your work was one of the catalysts to start my own channel. This is sad but understandable. Take care

Very sad to see you go, but there’s no point doing anything if you lose yourself. You’ve provided so much inspiration and education - so many of your videos are saved on my favourites to revisit - thank you! Good luck in the real world, and make sure you have an escape hatch that includes tiny little soldiers! Only way to stay sane out there.

There's something liberating about knowing every job we work can come to an end when we really need it to. Good luck out there, keep yourself safe!

Luke, you've done more for the gaming and modelling community than you realise, and your down to earth way of explaining things is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so so much for all you've taught me over the years, for all the times I've doubted myself, just to have you being all casual and "Yeah so this is how you do this" has been the kick up the arse for me to do the thing and get things finished! You're an absolute legend mate, and I'm glad you're doing this for you, and you're taking care of yourself! Thanks so much again Luke, you genius!

It's gonna be crazy not having you around on youtube in the hobby sphere, you were one of the og's. Wish you luck, Luke.

You were one of the main people who inspired me to start my tiny little channel, thanks so much for all the content and lessons over the years, you will be missed!

The end of an era, It's been quite a journey seeing you go from a custom battle board maker to hobby scenics supplier to full time youtuber. The improvement in production quality alone has been amazing to watch. We all thought you were living the dream, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Luv luv luv mate.

Feels like I'm losing a friend. Love your content, your talent, and your character. Take good care, you will be missed! ❤

Hope you keep doing whatever makes you happy man! You’ve been a staple and a HUGE help to so many people in the hobby so I know you’ll definitely be missed. Glad to have connected with you to chat every now and then. I appreciate you Luke!

This is unfortunate, but understandable. I have been watching you for over 6 years, and I have learned a lot. The most important thing though is to be true/happy to yourself. I hope things turn out for you, and if you return, we shall be there.

Loved so many of your builds and your no nonsense guidance. All the best in your future endeavours!

Literally gutted, one of the first channels I found when I joined the hobby several years ago, back when it was Luke APS. Have learned so much from your channel and have gotten so many great ideas. I hope this change is everything you want, and I hope we see you on KZfaq again at some point. Even if it’s as a guest in another channel. Thanks for all the knowledge you shared. Best of luck

You were the first scenics youtube channel that I ran into. You got me into terrain, from that Mini painting, from that wargaming. The hobby has brought so much joy to my life. You are an inspiration. I hope you get a good job and your life is amazing!

Finding your channel brought me back from 20 years away from the hobby and I am enjoying it even more these days thanks to you and your followers. Go enjoy yourself, we hope to see you now and again. Best of luck and thanks for everything.

Between you and lukas from Bards Craft, you opened my eyes to how fun and accessible terrain crafting and miniture painting can be. All the best with your future journey.

I lost my job a while back during the lock-down here in the Rep of Ireland, and started painting other people's minis for them, and hit burn out earlier this year, myself, due to the amount of time I spent painting other people's minis but not actually enjoying myself anymore. So I gave up full-time painting, started doing other stuff that interested me outside of the painting/hobby world, and made new contacts, new interests, and life just began anew for me. I do still paint minis (I have the three new sets of Zombicide Undead Or Alive slowly being painted for my own collection on the table) for myself and others, but only on a part-time basis now, and am back having fun, but not under as much pressure as before due to other people setting time limits for me to finish minis in. It's amazing what a change can do for you, so I applaud your own decision to change your professional work from making KZfaq videos and all their amazing content. It's sad to see you go, but if you've hit the wall, you've hit the wall, and need a break from the norm. So hopefully you'll find future happiness in your new job, will find your hobby interests renewed again once you're no longer under so much pressure to produce so much in a certain time, and your terrain making business will also hopefully thrive along with you. I've followed you for a good few years now, and you've inspired me so much to experiment, create and explore so much in the hobby, that seeing you leave will hurt, but it's a good kind of hurt, as we aren't "losing" you, as much as seeing you evolve into something more than just a terrain video maker and influencer. All the very best in your new endeavours, and also to you and your wonderful family and friends who helped you along your journey, and we'll all still be here, supporting you while you get on with your new phase of life. We will still have your history at our fingertips to link in and watch, and find even more inspiration from, as watching your videos just once isn't enough to get all the hints, tricks and experiments that you've shown down the years. Love to you and your beautiful family and friends, from ALL your fans, not just from me :-)

Luke, you're definitely one of the heroes of this hobby - thank you for everything that you have taught us all on this channel. Good luck mate.

Sorry to see you leave bud. You've accomplished amazing things over the years and left a legacy of videos to be proud of. Best wishes for whatever the future holds.

I feel like I just found this channel. You've been a huge impact on me starting in on this hobby. I wish you nothing but the very best and I hope the next chapter of your work is something that makes you happy, content, and unstressed. Love, love, love.

Thank you Luke for all the content, scenes and worlds you have created. Good luck!

Thank you Luke for all the inspiring projects and videos. You amongst others inspired me to get back into this hobby and I owe you my deepest gratitude for that. It profoundly changed my life as I rediscovered this dormant passion. It’s incredibly sad to see a hobby legend like yourself leaving the stage. I wish you all the best and good luck in your new chapter of life.

Form a fellow Yorkshire man who’s watched you for years. I can honestly say it’s been a pleasure to watch and learn from you in all aspects of the hobby ( and the music video of your old band) good luck fella

I've learned a lot from watching your videos, and I'm sorry to see them come to an end. I just want to say thank you for everything you've done, and good luck with whatever you choose to pursue next.

It’s been fun and educational watching your videos. But I understand the pressure and wish nothing but the best in your future endeavors! Cheers!

I'm usually a silent viewer, but here I have to write something: thank you for your great work and inspiration. Only the best as you continue on your journey. Love

Sad to see you go Luke, you were one of the first hobby channels I bumped into when I started getting into miniature gaming. I hope the "real world" treats you well!

Luke thank you. I have learnt profound amounts from your videos. You pulled down so many barriers to entry and inspired me to take chances and make my own material when I simply couldn't afford the package equivalent. Not just that though.....your not a gate keeper you are a leader of the hobby your the kind of person who not only has tons of talent but invites us to take our own journey too and remember it's supposed to be fun. I will honestly miss your videos and have really enjoyed seeing your take on...well everything. Good luck from down under mate I hope whatever's next is rewarding and fills your cup.

Thank you so much for all of the amazing content, you have been an inspiration to so many people! It's a hard choice to move on from something you have put so much into but sometimes you just reach a point that you need to move on to something else. I hope it all goes well for you in the future :)

I lost my job back in 2008 and did terrain for a year and it was the most stressful year of my life. I still do a ton of terrain but as a full time thing its just to hard to make it all work. Much respect for what you have done!!!

Good luck Luke. Thank you for all your content over the years, it’s been an absolute pleasure watching your stuff, learnt loads. Congratulations on 8 years of excellence 🎉

It was you and your channel that first inspired me to start mine, years ago. You've been amazing for the community, and you will be missed. And a lovely project (this table) to see you off!

Thank you so much for your content and inspiration that you have provided to all of us in the hobby. Congratulations on such a long and consistently good performance in the KZfaq space and I wish you all the best for your next stage of life!

Thanks for teaching me how to *invent* my own paints and washes for cheap, and how to warm up spray cans for a more even coat (and better spray priming in't middle of winter). A true hobby legend. 'Ow do, my dude... 'Ow do forever.

Best of luck in your new life, mate! I sincerely hope you find a great new job. I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who's pushed the boundaries of this hobby more than you this last decade. You've certainly inspired me! Love, love love!

Wow, I don't know you personally, but you've made a huge impact on my mini painting skills, and for 3 years (Wow) you've been a part of my kiddo and I's painting life. Wherever life takes you, you'll do awesome!

All the best Luke. You were one of the first KZfaqrs I subbed to when i got back into the hobby about 4-5 years ago and I have love love loved every video you have put out. You have taught me so many little tricks and you will be missed by us all. Good luck for everything in the future and again all the best. God Bless you mate

you will be missed

Thanks for the love Luke. Hope you keep your discord active so you can still chat

Great project, thanks for all the tutorials and the very best of luck for the future

Thank you for all the tutorials! Best of luck in future projects!

Sad to see you go. I've learned a ton from you and I've appreciated everything you have brought to the miniature community. Cheers to a new chapter!

Good luck wherever your path takes you. Thank you for all the knowledge you've shared over the years, you magnificent human.

Voy a extrañarte. He seguido todos tus videos allá por los años... que ni se sabe. Verdaderamente, fuiste el mejor maestro que podía haber encontrado. Tus consejos, siempre presentes en mis escenografías. Divertido, ameno y como dije mi gran fuente de inspiración. Tu futuro está marcado por la palabra triunfo. Suerte 😘

Thanks heaps for all the content you’ve put out over the years mate! You’ve been a massive inspiration in all my modeling and wish you nothing but the best in your new adventure.

You will be massively missed brother you were on of the youtubers that inspired me to make my own terrain and boards

Well done for having the courage to pursue other avenues. Good luck for the future, I'm sure there are many more exciting chapters still to come👍

Ive been wanting to do this for a while. Looks amazing!

Thanks man for all your great and inspirational material. Good luck on your journey.

Good luck, take care, and thank you for all the great videos!!! You've inspired me to try new things out. Thank you so much.

A great teacher in the terrain craft! Thanks for sharing your time and hobby with us!

Thanks for all the great videos. Good luck on the new journey.

Thank you for all the tips and content over the years! Good luck with everything! Love love love!

I'm gonna miss your stuff. You've been a big influence on my hobby since I've been it. You're content even inspired a 15mm game I'm making. Best for you. Thanks for the years of awesome vids.

You're going to be greatly missed Luke. I started the miniature hobby around the same time you started on KZfaq so you've been a fixture in the background as I've painted for years now. Wishing you loads of success and happiness wherever you go from here, and thank you for the volumes of entertainment and learning.

Thanks for all the great content and tips thriughout the years. Sad tp see you go man

You will be sorely missed, Luke- you were one of the first channels I found when I got into miniature painting in 2017 & you've taught me so much since then! Your base ready & other terrain ideas were a total game changer. Burnout from youtube is real, and it totally makes sense because once you make your hobby your job, its bound to suck the fun out of things, especiallyon top of running a busy business on top of another full time job. Wishing you all the best in the future, and I hope once you've had a good break and a rest you get some games in with mates 😊 Love love love from Cork, Ireland!

All the best Luke! You've been a true pioneer of the hobby scenic scene and will be missed!

i do terrain for myself for fun often working at my retail shop on little figures and houses while customers look on and ask questions. the ability to engage with my hobby to distract from the stress of running a business has been a godsend, and i frequently wonder how you manage to consistently produce at such a high level without giving your brain a break. take care man, you have been, you are and im confident that one day you will once again be an inspiration to thousands when you return. godspeed luke!

Thank you so much for all your content, I have loved watching it all over the years

Good luck out there man! And thanks for all the videos! Seriously I still find something on your channel I never knew was possible before.

You will definitely be missed, I think I've watched every video you've ever put out and I really enjoyed seeing you grow as an individual over the years, wish you all the best of luck, there is definitely going to be a large hole in the terrain community with your departure.

You are the sole inspiration to why I started doing terrain and using your products. You will be missed greatly and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Totally get the change of pace, thanks for all the great content over the years and best of luck.

What an amazing project to finish on. Well done for taking action to make a change. It's not easy and I hope you enjoy the next stage of your life! Cheers

Thank you Luke for all the content over the years. You will be missed here in the community, but the knowledge you have shared will live on. Good luck with your next endeavor.

I've never built a single piece of terrain but I love watching your videos thanks to your creativity, passion and positive attitude. Good luck in all your future endeavours.

Best wishes in whatever you choose to do in the future. You've been an absolute legend and inspiration in the hobby for many years and you'll certainly be missed, but you do you, mate! Take care of yourself and thanks for all the great content and tutorials!

Best of luck for the future Luke and thank you for all the great content over the years 👏

It's always sad to see one of your favorite content creator leave the scene but I thank you for all you work and that you shared it with us and my your future be even better than you can even imagine.

Sad to see you go - you were one of my inspirations to start my own channel. Best of luck in your future, Luke!

You have been one of the very best content providers since I tuned into KZfaq. You will be very missed. Best of luck in whatever the future brings you.

Love love love. I’ve been following your videos for years and truly appreciate the work you’ve done for the hobby. Best of luck in whatever is next for you!

Best of luck with this new journey in your life. It's been a real pleasure watching your crafting videos.

Yo! Your content is what got me into enjoying the terrain part of mini painting. I have even started doing dioramas because ive learned to appreciate adding a cool setting to my cool little dudes. Keep on keeping on brother. Stay happy. Proud of anyone who moves on to more fulfilling things.

Learned a whole heap from you, and still learning from all your previous videos. Thank you for all your work. I hope wherever you next adventure comes you have an enjoyable time.

Absolute respect for making what is no doubt a tough choice and for all the amazing content over the years. Just want to say as a cautionary tale, as someone that works a "normal" job, it might not be the 'end to stress' that you hope it is. But I do wish you all the best and hope you are able to find something that brings joy into your life.

We're going to miss you. I have learned a lot watching your videos, thank you very much for everything you have taught on your channel, and good luck in the future!

Like everyone else says, you've done legendary work that will stand on its own for a long, long time. Here's hoping that you get back into this stuff at some point as a hobby rather than a job. Maybe it can be fun again that way. Best wishes, Luke.

Sorry to see you leave! I’ll have to watch this video again as I didn’t really take any of the build in, I was too busy processing that this is the end! You’ve been such an inspiration in both terrain building and painting. I wish you all the best for the future and hope you’ll consider dropping by here from time to time! Luv luv luv to you! ❤

Thanks for all you've shared and created over the years, and all the hard work for our benefit. Hope the next phase of your life brings you much happiness, you deserve it. Thanks for everything.
