Realistic Scenery Volume 10 has just been released on YouTube and you can watch it right here 😉​
It's a complete guide showing the tips and techniques used to build an awesome little bridge from start to finish including all the techniques for building up the scenery around the bridge as well.

Recent Release

We all want perfect details for our models and the current line-up of 3D printers are close but not quite there....
That's where the Anycubic Photon steps in!
It is just about the best printer on the market for price vs quality and after owning this printer for nearly two months I have been more productive using it than I have with my regular FDM 3D printer over the past 2 years!
This is a must see if quality is what you want in a 3D printer .

What's Next...

A lot of you have been asking for a water fall and it has now begun!
Over the next few weeks I'll be working on a small to medium sized diorama of a waterfall using the above photo as a reference for what I want to achieve.
There are a few design features I want to incorporate some of which include:
  • Multiple waterfalls cascading from different spots along the edge of the cliff
  • A small cave behind the waterfall
  • A walkway with a viewing platform, for example the person who took this photo was standing on a dedicated decking that snakes around the cliff edge up to the base of the falls. (cliff edge is just out of view on the left side.
With those key features in mind I have now started drawing up rough sketches to get an idea of how the composition will piece together. I'm very excited for this tutorial.
