We Made It... 100K

​​Back in 2013 I was looking for a hobby to satisfy my need to be artistic and creative, as a kid I used to build all sorts of models (mostly aircraft) but once I left school and entered the hunt for work all that got left behind.

It took over 10 years but once I found myself in a stable job and the family was settled I had plenty of spare time to fill… that’s when trains caught my attention. There’s something oddly satisfying about building a miniature scene and having an actual moving model drive through the scene.

Believe it or not the whole motivation for filming and uploading videos to YouTube was not to create a brand and a following but rather to create an archive of videos on different methods and techniques I used to create specific scenes. Not long after getting into the scenery creation side of model making I’d build this amazing scene using a range of different techniques and when I’d come back a few weeks later to try and replicate what I’d done I would completely forget what I did and how I did it! So now I could step back and clearly see how I achieved a particular result by watching my past videos.

Before I knew it I was seeing consistent growth on the channel and people were liking what was being uploaded, that’s when I decided to step up the game and start putting a lot more effort into the production and started using better editing programs and watching video editing tutorials on YouTube.

Now that brings me to where we are today, I never imagined the channel would attract such a following but one thing hasn’t changed… I still upload videos to remind myself how I achieve a particular method or technique!

So thank you for being here and supporting the channel.

Cheers
Luke

You have earned the rewards. Your guides are very well produced and up there with the top dogs. I have watched nearly all of your videos at least once, some a couple of times. Your eye for detail is fine tuned. I hope my efforts are half as good as yours. One thing that really stands out is you are down to earth and do a natural presentation.
I watched your chain wire fence video again today, being an electrician there were times I needed to get straight wire. Put one end in vice, the other end wrapped around the end of pliers. Leave a little slack in the wire and then suddenly jerk the wire. This will usually straighten the wire. Works for me.
Thanks again for sharing your skills and knowledge base.
