Realistic Scenery 5 - A Drive Through Yellowstone

During the process of making the paved roads video I decided to make a complete diorama and film the entire process, similar to the previous 'Realistic Scenery' videos this one will be an all encompassing tutorial. What you see is what you get. 

It took a while to finish this model for a couple of reasons!

• Firstly, making the road is a process that requires patience. When you first lay the road using the 'smooth it' you'll need to give the road 24 hrs minimum to dry. I had to give it 2 days due to the cold and damp area that I was working in, then when you paint the road with the top coat you'll need to give it another 24 hrs as the paint moistens the road again and if you try draw the road markings on the surface too soon you'll leave a groove in the surface!
• Second, I had a busy week at work, as much as I love making models unfortunately it doesn't pay the bills rather it creates new bills! So of to work I go :) 

However... if you would like to throw a helping hand you can support me through patreon, completely voluntary but I will always appreciate any assistance. www.patreon.com/luketowan

The paved road turned out fantastic, the trees and surrounding scenery fit in well and do a good job of complimenting each other. The filming of the entire process took quite some time, and I have many hours of footage to sort and edit but the good news is I'm about one third done with the editing.

Stay tuned for 'Realistic Scenery Volume 5 - A drive through Yellowstone'... the name might change? Should be finished in about a week from now :)
