I have an idea for a diorama, a small mountain road with people walking on, further up, a rockslide is tumbling towards them and a large creature caused the rock slide.
This is the most well executed cave diorama I've ever seen! The greenish colors at the entrance really sell the look, I think. Keep inspiring us next generation of hobby RUclipsrs, Boylei!
Even without the obligatory, Wild Imaginary West monster; this is one of the best cave dioramas (shadowbox?) that I have ever seen! The fact that the monster isn't immediately apparent makes this a well-executed "Delayed-Reaction Piece," that takes viewers a moment or two to realize that there is more to this excellent spelunking diorama than meets the eye. Looking forward to your next diorama!
i agree! the way it was shown also reminds me of one of thalasso hobbyer's dioramas where the process of making the monster was not shown at all so you didn't know it existed until the reveal at the end
I like to think that, Like other Octopi, the one on the pool is actually reasonably friendly. It's perhaps curious, but not actively hostile. Unlike the other giant monsters of the W.I.W, the Octopi are just as intelligent as their smaller cousins, and capable of emotional maturity. I think the cave dweller here is mostly just curious about this strange man and his portable light, and might even throw some rocks up onto the shore to see if it can engage in a passing exercise with this strange, not very well camouflaged creature.
Maybe it's even smarter then that of the regular octopi, with it's bigger body, obvious access to more food (if it has been able to surstain itself in a mostly closed cave system) and it's longer more dextrous tentacles, Maybe it's actualy as smart as that do-do like bird in the circus diarama (around the level of a perticularly smart dog), or even smarter like the Tulkun on A:TWOW, i mean if a whale can learn to say "Get Out" while in an aquareium, i bet you any money a simmilarly sized Cephalopod could do the same
As someone who has never made a single model that didn't look like a 5 year old built it, I am in awe of Boylei. every week he amazes me with a new creation that makes me feel so happy and so damned useless at the same time. Keep doing what works sir!
I’m the words of Director Krennick, “Oh, it’s beautiful.” Marvelously done. The water is just clear enough for the outline and smooth as glass as a lake in a cave would probably be.
_Beneath the town of Treason lay a vast network of caves and ravines; some flooded, others dry. Miners and adventurers alike delve deep into the earth in search of their salvation, but few ever return._
I can not lie. I'm addicted to your videos. Everyday I come home from work I watch at least one. Doesn't matter if I've seen the video before. Your dioramas are so amazing and it's so cool being able to watch your process.
Hands down one of the best builds ever. The contrast between light and dark, colorful and bleak, and the just out-of-sight octopus that almost can't be seen is so nuanced it is perfect. Just perfect!
oh my god that first shot of the finished diorama with the lake reflecting the cave entrance was BEAUTIFUL. holy shit. this might be my favourite piece of yours to date!
I love these types of builds, very big, very detailed, with the right amount of story and creepiness. The video is very educating, calm, entertaining and with a pinch of comedy. These videos will never get old, keep up the good work Boylei! (If that's your name)
I like to imagine this is your version of the Oklahoma Lake Octopus cryptid. Except rather than lakes, it's deep underground pools. Excellent diorama! 👏
This cave is stunning, and I love everything about this build! I’ll watch it again with my mom to celebrate Mother’s Day 🙂. Thanks for what you do Boylei!!
This is simply stunning! I also love that even though resin has been a pain in the past you learn from it and get better. It shows us that it's okay to try new things and even if you fail you can always learn from it and it was never a waste. Love this series.
Simply incredible, C! I love your airbrushing and color choices. The fact that you painted in a shaft of yellow light to pick up the natural light rocks my world man. Also, the mirrored reflection on the surface of the still lake water is beautiful. This is so inspiring. p.s. I saw a movie with Leo!! He was attacked by a bear and crawled like a billion miles back to camp while being attacked by ants, ravens, and other assorted biting insects. It's a pretty depressing film, but he made it... barely (pun intended). You would think that Leo would have learned his lesson and just retired, but apparently he's exploring dangerous caves now. Sigh. Some people. Insanely cool work!
the Colors the Blending the Depth! These then all reflected in the still water! The imagery all so realistic. I couldn't watch the documentary about Leo knowing it was a real life. But this one little snippet of Leo's life, as realistic as the film, brought tears!
@craftastophe T-nu, You 2 should really get together and do a short film using his town and your filming skills alog with some of your (dont kill me) puppetry. Can not think of the correct term . its 1am almost.
@@Nathanm7977 Ya' never know what the future could bring, but yeah, that would be cool! BTW: Since you are exhausted I will overlook your bizarre comment about puppets. People always mention puppets... so weird... : )
Whow, that's really beautiful! I like the atmosphere of the diorama, and I think it's even better that you've given your explorer a whole story. And the colors in the background are super nice.
I love how you display your finished product. And getting to watch how you create your dioramas are fascinating and mesmerizing to me. Wow. I can get lost in your work.
Thank you so much for making these videos. Watching someone like you so skillfully create beautiful art works has inspired me, and I'm sure so many others to just sit down, and do art. Please keep the videos coming.
The level of story telling on your work is fantastic. If I found out you'd be making a movie around your wild west dioramas, I'd be in the theater in a heartbeat. Awesome work as always, my friend. Go's bless.
I wanted to just say thank you for one thing in particular, I remember showing your wild imaginary west train videos to my grandfather, me and him watched it together and he loved it as we both shared an interest in model trains unfortunately, he passed away recently, but despite that whenever I watch your videos , it reminds me of him and all the joy he had on his face when he saw the finished product, it cheers me up. Thank you and love the build❤️
I was excited to see this diorama ever since you gave a sneak peak in last week's project! Hope you do more reference stuff like that (and this project, for that matter)!
What an amazing paint job, you just really set the atmosphere with a relatively simple paint scheme. You really do just make it look so easy, I love seeing it.
After watching your channel for as long as I can remember, you are well on your way, (if not there already!!), to becoming a master craftsman, a honed storyteller, and master manipulator of the visual arts. These short videos only encapsulate the monster amount of work that you must put into each one of your pieces. Than you for sharing what you do!!
Hey! Leo from Saint Louis here! Just saying I appreciated the cameo in todays video. You do you great work and I love the calming effect of your narration and construction. Keep up the great work!
I am a Korean who makes hanok diorama. Among the works I worked on today, the water shadow is really amazing. I really wanted to learn, so I'm learning like this. thank you
I love that paint job on the octopus. The blend from blue to pale blue gray, with purple/pink accents was a great touch. Your wildlife paint jobs are some of my favorite and you have a way of making it seem so casual. The whole piece is stellar. Well done!
5:15 - I spy with my little eye an elegant weapon for a more civilized age ✨ Also, that final reveal has me smiling so hard. I'm always in awe at the results!
I absolutely love watching your videos. They’re so intriguing, relaxing, and just amazing. I especially love the dioramas with the hidden creatures. They all tell a story and my I imagination goes wild. Keep it up!
I think what I like about this so much, is that technically it's a very simple project compared to a lot of your other stuff. And yet its an extremely good representation of the reference you were going for. Well done as always
Fantastic Diorama!!The word spooky explains it perfectly....the hairs on my neck stood up while viewing the pix at the end 🫣 Thanks for sharing this...
Can you make a separate video of this particular work comprise of beautiful video shots combine with the music with no narration. I just want to sit in my dark room and just watch it and be at awe at how great your work is. It does not even need to be long a 3 minutes would be amazing Ps. 8:54 that shot is amazing!
That is really cool. I wanted to make something similar and wanted to see what others had done for ideas. Your video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting it. You have given me inspiration.
I've been watching your channel for a long time now and this is one of my favorites you've done so far! Always excited when you post a new vid. Keep up the great content!
This is so nicely done. It's more peaceful than spooky to me, even with the octopus. And the lantern, it's amazing what you can do at such a tiny scale.
I liked Leo the moment we met him. He's well-mannered and will give anybody the time of day, but won't take crap from anyone. He's quick-witted and has got himself out of plenty of scrapes - I just hope he hasn't taken on too much with that octopus. I'm rooting for Leo.
Man you knocked that one out of the park. That came out absolutely beautiful. Don't know where you keep getting these ideas from but I hope you keep coming up with them. Absolutely beautiful and amazing.
Once again i am thoroughly amazed at the depth of the lore for the imaginary wild west. Gotta get this set up as a tv show or book seried or something!
That was fricken' awesome Boylei!! Nearly every video/build I find that you have outdone yourself. The tiny lantern was fantastic and having the octopus just below the surface, and hence barely visible, was a super nice touch. I had thought that you were going to light up the creature as well, a bioluminesent cave dweller would have been wicked. Yet, having the potential threat not so obvious was the better choice. Keep up the fantastic work, I will be looking forward to the next one!
This is probably one of your best imaginary wild west dioramas to date. I would love to see you put all of the dioramas together into one huge landscape. Like a real terrain hobbies deal. That would be a cool collab!
I really like the "simplicity" of this diorama, just ... black, without too much paint, but the result is beautiful. I like too the ending of the video. It is very clean. Thank you for your videos. Allways great to look at.
Gosh dang that looks amazing. I haven't built many dioramas at all.. But I hope to make some just like yours one day. Thank you for sharing your brilliance with us.
I have an idea for a diorama, a small mountain road with people walking on, further up, a rockslide is tumbling towards them and a large creature caused the rock slide.
That large creature could be like a mountain lion?
That sound like the Slide-rock Bolter
Make it!
Whale. Land whale thingy I heard about. I think it's a cryptid
@@deanought3695the slide rock bolster i think you’re talking about
This is the most well executed cave diorama I've ever seen! The greenish colors at the entrance really sell the look, I think. Keep inspiring us next generation of hobby RUclipsrs, Boylei!
agreed
Totally agree. The cave looks very natural which is truly hard to mimic.
Even without the obligatory, Wild Imaginary West monster; this is one of the best cave dioramas (shadowbox?) that I have ever seen!

My favourite friendly octopi is the kraken, it hugs every ship it sees with all of its love :)
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Jesus was the friendliest octopus.
Cave dweller! Like from Minecraft?
@@weswolverine Uh... no? A cave dweller, as in something that lives in a cave.
The footage of regular superglue every time he says he's using foam-safe superglue is so funny 😭😭

I swear this man builds such cool things. And he uploads quite often as well. Great work!
Pretty much every week, we can look forward to another great video.
He's the "Bob Ross" of Dioramas.
I can not lie. I'm addicted to your videos. Everyday I come home from work I watch at least one. Doesn't matter if I've seen the video before. Your dioramas are so amazing and it's so cool being able to watch your process.
I love how this dude creates his own story and worlds and monsters and scenes all within the world of creativity and design.
Hands down one of the best builds ever. The contrast between light and dark, colorful and bleak, and the just out-of-sight octopus that almost can't be seen is so nuanced it is perfect. Just perfect!

I'd be all for a D&D session set in your Imaginary Wild West.
Yea
Definitely, it reminds me of The Hunt Showdown, so maybe using some guns from that could be interesting.
I like to imagine this is your version of the Oklahoma Lake Octopus cryptid. Except rather than lakes, it's deep underground pools. Excellent diorama! 👏
This cave is stunning, and I love everything about this build! I’ll watch it again with my mom to celebrate Mother’s Day 🙂. Thanks for what you do Boylei!!
You never know what lies below calm waters!!!
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is simply stunning! I also love that even though resin has been a pain in the past you learn from it and get better. It shows us that it's okay to try new things and even if you fail you can always learn from it and it was never a waste. Love this series.
Your storytelling and diorama spark my imagination in such wonderful ways
0:26 I love the "What About Bob?" reference LOL
That What about Bob? Reference caught me way off guard, it’s so hard to find people that have seen that movie
Fun fact, that plaster-glue mix you make is basically gesso, which explains why it's such a good primer and painting surface.
What a masterpiece. Top skill with proper storytelling. Thank you for the inspiration.
One of your best dioramas in my opinion. Well done, very simplistic but with tons of character.
I adore the cave lighting in the back so so much, and i hope leo knows i love and support him and his wild west journeys
Another fantastic build from one talented gentleman!! 👏🏻 Love how the WIW is coming along
Simply incredible, C! I love your airbrushing and color choices. The fact that you painted in a shaft of yellow light to pick up the natural light rocks my world man. Also, the mirrored reflection on the surface of the still lake water is beautiful. This is so inspiring.

Whow, that's really beautiful! I like the atmosphere of the diorama, and I think it's even better that you've given your explorer a whole story. And the colors in the background are super nice.

Ill never not be amazed by craftsmen... Craft expertise.

Wow, this was GORGEOUS. The cave was so realistic, the panning shot of the final piece gave me shivers!
I've been binging a bunch of your videos lately, and this has to be my favorite so far. Absolutely stunning.
All of your diorama's are pure art. I appreciate all the videos you do and the small details!!
The time and effort this man puts into his builds for our entertainment is insane!! We all owe him a big thank you for his dedication.

WOW!!! This has to be one of your best dioramas so far... simply amazing!!!
personally don’t have the patience or hands to work on something so small but you have got me into diorama stuff man, so much detail!
I love your water builds so much. They perfectly speak to how I feel about bodies of water.
Never thought I'd hear a "What About Bob?" reference here! Good one Mr. Boylei
Absolutely stunning!!! Enjoyed every second of this video. Your commentary is really on point!!!

Another masterpiece Mr B. I’m a big fan of watching you creating these amazing dioramas- all with great backstories. Thank you.
I knew what regular super glue did to foam, but it's always nice to have that comedic timing of the melting for visual reminders.
I absolutely love watching your videos. They’re so intriguing, relaxing, and just amazing. I especially love the dioramas with the hidden creatures. They all tell a story and my I imagination goes wild. Keep it up!
By the way you have some of the coolest models I've ever seen in my life❤❤❤❤ I am obsessed

So thoughtful. My son and I love watching all your videos. Keep up the excellent work! ❤
So cool. Not just a hobby but that's talent. Impressive!
Wow! The lighting combined with the tint of the resin creates such a powerful effect! Seeing the final reveal made my skin crawl a bit 😅
I love this so much. It's definitely my favorite. Simple and masterful
This kind of brilliant work, coupled with the humor, and story telling has got me going back to into the hobby. Thank you!.
One of the greatest interesting hobby content creators on RUclips. Thanks for all the quality content Boylei!
Your work gets better and better!
Such a simple idea but bucket loads of work, time and talent.
Bravo my friend. 👍

Every Boylei video I watch makes me motivated to actually do the T-54/55 model I bought 3 years ago but never did because I didn't have any good glue.
Oh wow, what a blast from the past. I loved the "What about Bob" reference. It's one of my favorites.

This diorama is amazing. Intrepid pioneer explorer, Leo, seems incredibly calm for having an idea as to what lurks beneath those dark cave waters.
I love the lighting tricks with this one. One of my all time favorites.
I immediately thought of the cave in Vietnam when I saw the thumbnail. Very nice job. The lighting through the opening is beautiful.
Once again i am thoroughly amazed at the depth of the lore for the imaginary wild west. Gotta get this set up as a tv show or book seried or something!
Loved it!! 😍😍😍
This looks like a Cavern you would find in the Peak District National Park ( What is a beautiful place in England. )
That was fricken' awesome Boylei!! Nearly every video/build I find that you have outdone yourself. The tiny lantern was fantastic and having the octopus just below the surface, and hence barely visible, was a super nice touch.

This is A nice build. Reminds me of an inverted version of the dweller in the lake. The doors of Morior in the fellowship of the ring. Very beautiful.
This might be my favourite of the Wild Imaginary West series. The idea is so simple but looks so gorgeous. Well done!
Your talent is truly on another level.
I really like the "simplicity" of this diorama, just ... black, without too much paint, but the result is beautiful. I like too the ending of the video. It is very clean.
Thank you for your videos. Allways great to look at.
This is my favorite so far. Beautifully done!
Beautiful again, I love how the whole thing looks.
This was simply awesome and just seeing you drip in the colors for the resin was cool to watch happen...
Second: I love your projects so very much. First, though: A WHAT ABOUT BOB? REFERENCE! YES!
Absolutely gorgeous. Love your videos and I’m skyways beyond excited for new wild west stuff.
