Something Scarier than Enemy Soldiers Lurks in this Swamp

This week, I found a box of WWII soldiers in rainwear at my local hobby store. I decided to create a diorama with them in a swamp… being snuck up on by giant snake, of course.

So what you’re telling me is that it’s a period diorama from somewhere in the South Pacific or the Congo, during WWII?
Well, South Pacific saw a lot of combat in WW2, Philippinea, Dutch East Indies, New Guinea, Borneo
I would have guessed that it is a period diorama from somewhere in the South Pacific or the Congo, during WWII. It was nice to get confirmation.
@@DG_427 wild guess! I thought it was a period diorama from somewhere in the South Pacific or the Congo, during WWII, but your assessment seems more precise.
He was making a joke because of how many time Boylie said “somewhere in the South Pacific or the Congo in www2”
Oh, thank God!
I watched the whole thing without knowing if this diorama was from somewhere in the South Pacific or Congo during WWII.
Thanks for the confirmation everyone!
Also, loved the video
I adore that the giant snake in the diorama is a ball python, one of the most harmless snakes there is... not that they know that!
Anaconda*
I think you'd find if a snake* was that large relative to a human, it wouldn't exactly be harmless. There's plenty of animals which are harmless to humans and that's mostly based on scale.
*or any animal, for that matter
@@blakesby imagine if insects were human sized...
@@B3AROTAN I'd rather not 😬🐛
It's not a python, it's a rare new convergent species, the BoyleiHobbyTimePythonidae Serpentes, endemic to this channel. And if you can fit in its mouth it will eat you.
I love the atmosphere of the final turnaround shot. The muted colors and faces hidden in shadows really sells the bleak situation. Also the Snek responding to the knock knock joke was hilarious.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Creating the "wake" of people walking through swamp was executed really well!
Yeah, I was thinking about commenting that he didn't account for the soldiers movement through the water...then during the turntable reveal I saw it. 🤦🏻♂️
Freakin' awesome job Boylei!!!
Hi! Snake owner (not entirely an expert) here, this does infact look like a python! Most similarly a Ball Python given the pattern on the back! The head shape is great!
Love your videos! Keep it up!
That was my first thought, he looks like my 2 year old Ball Python 😄
The baby-est snakes. 💕
Suggestion on the rain effect: try a smaller straw. That might give you a finer rain texture
That's a good idea, I think something like the small plastic coffee straws would work :)
maybe multiple sizes to add a ripple affect to the drops?
Maybe dab some resin and let it dry upside down to create the effect of droplets bouncing back up?
@@Existential_Carousel Eyoooooooo. If it works, that is a sick idea!
There is a French woman who does the most fantastic rainy dioramas - but (of course) I can’t remember her name when I need it!
Wow that final shot was stunning. Very immersive and lifelike.
It amazes me how much story telling you manage to put into every model you make
His imagination is excellent and that of course also comes across in his very creative dioramas.
i really like how he added details such as the location of south America or the Congo during ww2 🤫
I like the Congo shoutout. Not many people give the Congo the recognition it's due when it comes to large snakes since it mainly houses rock pythons, which don't get large. Although Remy Van Lierde's unofficial 1915 recording of a 50-ft snake has its fair share of skeptics, the Congo harboring some of the world's largest snakes seems a reasonable suggestion to me.
*or the South Pacific!
*1959*
Bit awkward though since US soldiers didnt serve in the Congo...
@@thehistoadian Also awkward that there is no large snakes in the South Pacific islands.😄
The detail of the pushed away duckweed after the soldiers walked through it is amazing!
Gosh I love this monster series
the scary thing is that snake isn't a monster in his series its just a normal big snake.
@@benjaminparker4098 I don’t think pythons get quite as big as the one in this diorama, but they do get fairly close. So while it is a slightly larger than normal snake, you’re right in that it’s probably the most realistic “monster” that he has made.
Yeah, this isn't part of the 'Wild Imaginary West' series.
The Army did fight in Burma throughout the duration of the war and Burma is home to the Burmese Python... so I would say this is pretty historically accurate. Well done!
Whose army and for what "duration"?
@@aaronleverton4221 history.army.mil/brochures/burma42/burma42.htm
@@aaronleverton4221 Axis vs. Allies during WWII 1941-45
@@Charles_Bro-son Does not answer the question.
@@aaronleverton4221 KMT China plus the UK and the British Raj against Japan during ww2.
That duckweed tip looked super great!
Always a good day when Boylei uploads :)
I’m such a huge World War 2 nerd. This is an awesome build!! Blending history and fantasy. Great work. I would love to see more World War builds
That snake looks so real, great work Boylei 👍
Laying in bed before going to sleep while watching Boylei Hobby Time making a new diorama is literally one of my joys in life
I think the rain effects look fine, tbh. Lovely work as always Boylei
Those final shots are incredible...
I had never seen anything like this, pure artistry and skills. Congratulations.
Snake skin looks brilliant in the glamour shots
This is not just a diorama model, this is art. This man is an artist!
Legit dude-ur videos are like some THERAPY to me-your great voice over, added to your Brilliant Talent is what makes your video so great. Keep it up man! Love your work
I love the gradient on the soldiers and I think the rain effect and snake scales look great!
As a snake lover, specifically pythons, that's a very accurate python head and one of many patterns they can come with. Great job!❤
It looks so amazing and so real 🪖😉💚
Very cool!
Dude in the back is about to have a very bad day….
God that’s so badass.
This guy would make the best aquariums.
Oh, man. This hit just right in several ways. I love this diorama a lot. It's so simple but really effective at setting the mood.
Do they survive getting ambushed by such a large predator? Do they ever make it back to the rest of the platoon?
I've always liked your projects but I was pulled into the story of this one immediately by it. Good job.
That would be a creepy feeling being in that diorama. 😬
I quote Indiana Jones "Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?"
Great Job As Always!!!
👍👍👍
All your builds are awesome, your world building and story telling are 2nd to none. Thanks for posting!
This is one of my new favorites I think. I absolutely love how glossy and wet the snake looks.
Beautiful, awesome work!
I'm glad you've not given up on Resin!
Looks great. Brilliant job on the snake in particular. Love the atmosphere.
A new series with monsters during World War II ? I’m in !
I love how you created movement with the green stuff growing on the surface.
Came out really good. What a long process and lots of planning. Pretty cool
I really enjoy the little dialogues you create for your figures.
This is absolutely stunning
Ah, the deadly pythanacondoa… Looks awesome!!! The rain effect is a really cool touch!
Another Outstanding build and presentation.
Really wanted to find out the end of the “Knock Knock” joke!
I’m sure I’ve had bad dreams similar to what’s happening in this diorama. So creepy but incredibly cool! Great build Boylei!
Love the wake you made in the pond weed..
I know it would be something I would have forgotten about and just made it look like they were randomly standing in the water..
What you did gave them movement and direction..
Subtle and impressive. Thank you.
You really are an artist. I am happy you can do this as a job
As someone who's done a lot of snorkelling in swamps, I have to say this brings a tear. Swamps are magical, calming and exciting, always teeming, changing, flashing, shadowy. The water's usually amazingly clear till it's stirred. I like the surface in the model, just the right mix of gleaming and murky.
So beautiful and spooky, I love it!
There's something forlorn about this diorama. Well done.
The duckweed addition is sick as hell
That’s really cool, thank you for sharing that with everyone
You _can_ see the scales! I love this!
Fantastic Diorama, a beautiful example of:
Less is more.
Everything has its place and purpose ❤
This is awesome! I love snakes. The pond water affect is always done so well. I like that you showed where they had walked threw and disturbed it with little trails.
I want to see you master the water/rain effects. This was great. Your painting is outstanding.
Fantastic diorama.
We ‘feminine’ gals helped our brothers, cousins, fathers with our sewing and crafting skills back in 60s and 70s first everything from military and D&D to Godzilla Dioramas the ‘mom and pop’ hobby stores used to display for us same as our Christmas etc themes.
The foliage I found most challenging. I showed this video to couple of old girlfriends like me and each made great point.
1. We wish we had more resources back then to teach us how to do this.
2. Even a brother who went in to do CGI fur Jurassic Park marvels more at these physical recreations.
Thank all you boys (we feminine, opposite feminist gals still married to you😘).
Luv it!!!❤❤❤
Man the flow of the duckweed around the figures is super realistic! Lot's of swamp study, I'm sure 😆
Well done, once again, on your hard work. Thank you for sharing with everyone on RUclips 👍🏻
this is fantastic, a work art, I would love a man cave filled with your work bud.
Smart and artistic design
The final image is absolutely terrifying! Nicely done. We knock exactly what’s about to happen
Your work is incredible
I’ve watched your videos before bed so often it’s trained my brain and now anytime I watch them I instantly fall asleep to the point I use it as a sleep aid
You did amazing job. Beautiful piece of work 💖💖
I so look forward to each Sunday watching your videos. Thanks again!
Loved your video as always!:) Thanks Boylei.
Beautiful work
That's lovely... really amazing work!
Thank you for this video! 🙂💐
okay but the metal gear solid bit was incredible. You're my people
You know this channel is amazing when 9 minutes goes by in 3.
You already guessed, the last step was to paint those sides with black 4.0 after that, call it good. Great work! :)
Very cool peice man! The placement of the minis and the snake is spot on 👌
Beautiful piece brother. Your work is always so clean!
You have such an amazing imagination. So many great ideas, very inspirational.
Absolutely astonishing👍
Wow that looks so good
Some of these edits were great man, you're making very enjoyable content!
The epoxy really gave some added life to the snake. Another awesome build!
Besides the fact that these will always be the best miniatures ever, I think my favorite part is always the end when he shows these horrific monsters in this scene with such peaceful music making it somehow even more beautiful
Totally realistic!
This is one of my favorite ones yet. The whole scenario feels believable and the way it's set up is terrifying in a "seconds before disaster" kind of way. Excellent work
GIVES ONE CHILLS AS THE SUPER SNAKE APPROACHES THE CLOSEST SOLDIER TO HIM. POOR MAN HAS NO CLUE WHAT IS ABOUT TO BEFALL HIM!!!
It has really been a while and I freely admit that I only tend to gravitate to your star wars related content, but I remember saying that you will be going places, I am most joyful to see I was right. I wish you all the luck in the world on the road to one million subs and beyond.
This is a really great, simple concept done fantastically well. Nice work!
swamp weeds are a touch of class
This one just hits different man.
Keep it up!
Another awesome build there boss.
I love miniatures, epoxy and snakes so this video is gold ❤❤❤. Great stuff mate
Brilliant build!
I love the little trails of the pond leaves.... like the forward momentum of the soldiers in the water was pulled off really well.
thats so amazing bro, so atmospheric
Diorama idea: A small cargo plane that crashed in a dense swampy area (similar to Louisiana), both pilots managed to survive but they’re now being stalked by a giant iguana like creature
I was going to suggest the LOTR swamp scene next but you already did it! Love it!
I actually thought that the python was a giant leech for a minute until i saw the head. Awesome diorama.
Beautiful!
That snake looks amazing!! It really reminded me of one I saw while I was on holiday with my family in the South Pacific, or The Congo, during World War 2.
Sometimes the ones that seem to be simple are the most beautiful.
Texture on the helmets would be soooo cool to add
Great work
