Noch gifted me the following items for use in this video:

Gras Master 3.0 Profi static grass applicator
Lasercut stinging nettles
Super Trees
Foam and Spume
6mm Beige Static Grass
Static Grass Glue.

The only Noch product I paid for in this video is the bag of Boulders for the riverbed.

You can purchase these items and much more from their website: https://www.noch.com

A big thank you to Noch for supporting me with their products. I was not paid by Noch to produce this video other than by being gifted these products.

One other point: I'm informed the 'punched leaves' I referred to are actually birch seeds! You can collect them from the seed 'pods' and they make great fallen leaves.

For a while now I've wanted to remake my most popular project on YouTube. Not because I think I can repeat the same success, but because I feel my techniques have improved and I can do a better job now than I did then.

This ultrarealistic river diorama video shows you how I started with a wooden tray from a hardware store and turned it into a beautiful natural scene, complete with a large wire tree and amazing water effects.

I hope you enjoy watching this model river coming to life and I hope it helps or inspires you in some way.

Many of the materials and tools I use come with safety instructions. Please always read and follow these rather than simply copy what you see me or other people doing.
