I purchased this model from Custom Model Railroads in the US and I spent a good month putting it together.
It’s laser cut acrylic so all the part fit very precisely and there was very minimal sanding or gap filling required. The model is HO scale but the techniques I used to construct the model could easily be applied to just about any other scale.
A model building like this would look awesome on a model railroad although it will need a few friends beside it to make it blend in a little better and not look so lonely 😉 It’s only a 20 story building but in person it looks surprisingly big! Just imagine what a 90 or 100 story building would look like in HO scale!
The kit isn’t cheap but it sure looks good once it has been assembled and adding extra details just takes it to a whole new level. If you’re wanting to try building with acrylic and do know where to start I can definitely recommend the CMR kits

"Furniture won't be visible, so I won't paint them in too much detail". Paints in the most amazing detail, like books and bedsheets of different colors.

You're like the Bob Ross of Model Scenery. You even have a calming voice.

Luke Towan: "Most of the interior detail will be hard to see, so I don't spend too much time painting them" Luke Towan: Proceeds to paint every last piece of furniture in elaborate detail Love it 😋

Glad to see this guy is actually a human and not an android and misses putting the USB in on the first try like the rest of us at 7:52

That's beautiful. How you managed to cut this video down to 20 minutes I do not know

Model New York City skyline coming soon? Imo, the mix between the ambient led's and detailed room led's looks alot more realistic from a modern standpoint. Not everyone buys the same type of lightbulb so it makes it seem as if there's a mix between incandecent and cfl bulbs in each unit. Mixed with your tape idea it would be very believable.

The hidden switch! 😍

Now that is what is called "Dedication" ! Another mind-blowing scenery masterpiece.

start of the video: huh he's only assembling a kit... that should be easy when he started making rooms: h o l y s h i t

I’d love to see a modern skyscraper like the Sears tower. Most cities are a mix of the old Art Deco and the more contemporary styles after all.

Luke towan: the perfect channel to watch during quarentine

if a robber ever breaks into your house with the intention of stealing models, they'll spend so much time gawking at the amount of detail and realism that they'll forget why they broke in and leave

Luke: "Most of the interior detail will be hard to see, so I don't spend too much time painting them." Also Luke: Paints them in detail anyways omg, this piece was worth the wait. keep it up! 💕

Wow I can't believe my eyes. You created small world.

The time this man puts into the detail of his models speaks volumes. His touch breathes so much life into these models.
-
I'm not in the slightest bit interested in scale modelling, but I could watch your videos for hours on end. Your skills, dexterity and no nonsense explanations make it look simple. More power to you, sir.

I have no words 😶 ❤️

7:50 is a beautiful jab at the bob ross model video and I can’t stop laughing
-
On our next modeling adventure, we're going to make an ultra-realistic diorama of the entire city of Tokyo. seriously though this model is an incredible achievement.
