    I'll be starting work after Christmas on a brand new animated diorama which should be ready by early summer 2020. I think you'll find it just as fascinating. If you keep subscribing to my channel I'll be able to afford to buy the parts to start building it and you'll be notified when its ready!

    That’s really quite brilliant, I’d have been fascinated for hours by this as a child trying to understand how it worked.

    Extraordinary. In all the diorama videos I’ve watched on YT, this is the first to have a plot and moving parts that aren’t the usual train tracks. I’m stunned that they’re controlled by magnets. What an inspiration, a shame I don’t understand half of what you’re describing.

    I really like how well-hidden the transitions between each 'scene' of the cyclist are implemented, using the bushes and the concealment of the original, "healthy" cyclist, with the falling-into-the-bush being a clever way to hide a tunnel.
    Nicely done!
    (Oh, and CZcams Recommended brought me to this video before the original. Thanks for that, Susan Wojcicki!)

    I am now a very old engineer and as a child I was fascinted by Victorian 'Automatons'. The detail they put in them was outstanding. Yours are the modern version of this OUTSTANDING. My late father built me the most detailed train layout on a big board using the old bakelite 'TTR' (Trix Twin Railway') three track railway. He included stationary cars and as i grew older I tried to devise a way to 'animate' my cars. The closest I got was scalaextric buried in the roads but it couldnt handle tight curves - this was back in the 1960's. Definitely had to subscribe!

  • @davidhughes4448

    Fantastic animated diorama, with beautiful modeling. If the magnet conveyor for the ambulance could be made to slow to a gradual stop at the accident scene (and then start up again with gaining momentum) its movement would be much more convincing. Likewise, the cyclist's speed could vary here and there for a more realistic presentation. As is it's a little toy-like. That said, mine isn't as nice as yours!
    All in all, great job. Thanks for posting.
