A step by step guide in creating a super realistic suburban scene with a twist (HO Scale). In this tutorial I take you through the process of building a laser cut wood structure that is typically used for model railroad scenery and then I’ll demonstrate all the techniques used to create an awesome dystopian themed diorama.
Nearly all of the tiny details I use not only to model the interior but also all of the exterior details were printed on the Anycubic Photon 3D printer. All of the interior details were downloaded from Thingiverse.com whereas all of the exterior details including the garage were designed using TinkerCad.com and then printed. It’s quite amazing what can be built and designed using such a simple program with basic building blocks.
You’ll also see me using the Noch Gras-Master 2.0 to add the static grass, it’s quite an expensive unit but you are paying for quality and assurance. The grass applicator was sent to me for inclusion in the upcoming eBook and I decided to get a head start and try it out on this diorama.

Downloads:
If you visit the downloads area at BoulderCreekRailroad.com you’ll find the files I used to create this awesome diorama. Because all of the interior details were downloaded from Thingivers.com I’ll provide links to the specific files however the exterior details were all designed on Tinkercad.com, I’ll provide the actual STL files for those items on the downloads page and they’ll all be HO scale.
