As a SCUBA diver, I particularly love this dioroma. One thing that I have noticed is that all of the dioramas I've seen no one has ever shown the air expelled by said divers rising through the water column. I think that doing so will add movement or action to ones dioramas. I do agree that your channel is in the top. 0001%.
Absolutely right. Furthermore, everybody struggles to get rid of the bubbles when creating an underwater diorama, when in reality the bubbles in the water are everywhere.
I thought that this would be the one time when you would want air bubbles in the resin. 🤔 Though I am not sure how to get them to appear to come from just the diver...🤷🏻♂️
i think thalasso hobbyer did this in some of their dioramas, you might be interested in checking them out :D they also added background fish by painting them on pieces of resin, i don't remember if they did it very often though
Ooh check out Thalasso hobbyer’s “Dog Lover and the Nightmare” video! He had a really neat technique for making bubbles trailing up from a diver. In his Far: Changing Tides diorama he also used a similar technique to add fish to the background, which was pretty neat as well. :)
Hey Mr. Hobby Time! I had an idea for a Star Wars diorama. It’s that scene from Rogue One when the U-Wing just barely makes it out of the crashing debris on Jehda and into hyperspace. Just an idea!!!
Diver's helmet window/ports made of tube end-cuts was SO very satisfying! I was also been somewhat recently sold on the oil-based washes. Definitely behaves differently than water/acrylic. Oh, and glad one of the Frenchmen came in handy! :)
When an eel bites your thigh And you bleed out and die That's a Moraaaay! Love the video Boylei, Moray Eels are so weird and you did a damn good job on the diver too!
Every sunday I sit with a hot coffee and watch ur videos doing absolutely nothing, it slowly became my habbit on sunday. The videos are so relaxing. Thanks for giving such content.
Quick tip for adhering plastic to plastic: There's this stuff you can get at most hobby stores called plastic weld usually under the name "Plastruct". It works very well and can still be used even after applying a few layers of acrylic paint.
Yes! I love deep sea horror/horror adjacent stuff. And big clunky dive suits. And watching you make and pour resin. So this was a deeply enjoyable video
I was really surprised when you put black tape around the bottom to finish it off instead of the infamous Black 3.0 or Black 4.0. I love how this project turned out (like always). All the little bubbles inside help bring out the feeling it's actually underwater instead of just in resin
I have an idea for a diorama if you’re particularly interested... I think something along the lines of a cross section, showing the interior of a small cabin, decorated with wall mounted heads from monsters the owner has hunted. Maybe a “bear” skin rug, with some kind of unique creature playing the carpet. And if that’s not scary enough for you, you could add a small basement or wine-cellar with some kind of monster waiting for the hunters upstairs to go to sleep. Any way, great work. The stories you’re able to tell in these small dioramas are incredible and always captivating. I’m always excited, seeing a new post. Thanks.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Ive been watching you for 2 and half years and seen some really cool stuff!!! This is definitely one of the top ten bests so far. I’ve got a quick question though, could you make something similar to this but in a snow globe form. Like a dome of resin put on a base. Ik that would be REALLY hard to do the resin in a sphere shape. But still, could you try to make something like this as a snow globe!?
Oh wow! I have that Moray Figure!!! I backed the Reaper Kickstarter years ago, and that mini is one of the ones that convinced me to do it! It's a spectacular piece and you brought it to life in outstanding fashion! Bravo!
Well done again, I'm from Australia & I was also into SCUBA diving back in the day & have come across Moray Eels on more than one occasion & I can tell you that even the normal sized ones are scary as crap especially when they lunge out of their hole at you.
I've been watching your videos for like a year or so now (probably less) and only just now realized that the tools and stuff in your intro spell out boylei. Clever
I really love watching you experiment with new stuff/techniques/colours/tools. It might be scary when they're not as predictable as the tried and true things, but the end result is always interesting.
What a great diorama this turned out to be. Your details on the Astro-FFL-diver really worked and I absolutely couldnt tell it wasn't anything but exactly what you turned it into. I hope the resin goes off properly over the next few days now that its out of the mould. Stunning work, and thanks for the video on oils!
I have a terrible fear of the things that lurk under the surface. And at the same time am absolutely fascinated by shipwrecks and the like. This piece came out great and I like how a couple of simple swaps created your diver to look like he fits perfectly. I wish I could paint half as well as you do, but there's never any harm in trying to get better. Overall a great video! Thanks!
I really like it. I love that the water isn't too dark and doesn't seem to take away from the beautiful paint job and detail, like I have seen in so many others videos when they put all that great work into a diorama and pour dark blues or really mucky water colored resin and it always takes so much away from the hard work put into it. What I always thought would work better in some of the water diorama resin pours is to put a lip on the top of the plastic form then lay it on the back side and pour a layer on the back panel then do the same on both ends and then when those dry fill the rest with either clear or a lighter color pour. Then it seems you would still get the effects of the water but still be able to see the beautiful work put into the diorama. And maybe even a colored layer on top to finish it off. I don't know if that would work for sure but it seems like it would, what do you think my friend? But like I said the resin water in this one came out excellent to be able to see the beautiful work in it. Would like to hear your thoughts on the above. 👍👍👍
Fantastic undersea diorama Mr Boylei!! That resin came out gorgeous, I'd have thought that this would be the one time when you'd want some air bubbles. Especially if they could appear to be coming from the diver's scuba gear...🤔 Also, I must say that the oil washes on the rocks are spectacular and have really upped the realism of your dioramas. Which for you that is saying a lot. Great job!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Right on, C!! Yet another awesome build. Yes, moray eels are somewhat frightening. I had an encounter with one when I was stationed on Guam while scuba diving. -Rick
Nice to see such a good resin cure. A mini spectacular. (Painting is something where you can never stop learning.) I wouldn't worry too much, you have a good skill there.😎
Every time I see the boylei logo under a video, I feel pure joy. Love your videos so much! They calm me, while never failing to entertain me. Keep it up!
I also, made a video a while back where I put an Eel in epoxy resin, it was a Star Wars theme video, with Obi-Wan Kenobi... but it got views about 100x less then this one hahah. Great Project as always.
The eel is menacing yes but what if you made a water spider at some point? This is the Wild *Imaginary* West after all! Love crafting, love Boylei Hobby Time, my daily dose is what helps me keep my sanity :) (sanity part is a joke)

I just got back from a scuba trip today and this is exactly what I needed.

Hey Mr. Hobby Time! I had an idea for a Star Wars diorama. It’s that scene from Rogue One when the U-Wing just barely makes it out of the crashing debris on Jehda and into hyperspace. Just an idea!!!
He did the Jedha explosion a couple months ago - can't remember if he included the U- Wing but worth checking out if you've not seen it!!
@@jj_eringaAhh right! Perhaps the scene when Vaders Star Destroyer comes out of hyperspace and destroys the rebel frigate then. That would be cool!
If you have an idea, especially one you think is cool, you should totally go and make it! Flex those artistic muscles.
The Last Jedi light speed kamakaze image would be amazing!! No clue how you'd do it as a model tho
pretty cool idea, it would be difficult to suspend all that debri though
One of the best parts of my Sunday is seeing Boylei upload a vid
True...for me...TOOOOOO!! :D
the other best part is church :)
You can say that again
Diver's helmet window/ports made of tube end-cuts was SO very satisfying!
I was also been somewhat recently sold on the oil-based washes. Definitely behaves differently than water/acrylic.
Oh, and glad one of the Frenchmen came in handy! :)
When an eel bites your thigh
And you bleed out and die
That's a Moraaaay!
Love the video Boylei, Moray Eels are so weird and you did a damn good job on the diver too!
An Oldie But a Goldie!!!🤣🤣
🎶When the jaws open wide
And theres more jaws inside
Thats a Moray!🎶
When the teeth don't let go
Then you're gonna know
That's a Moray!
If it lives in a reef
And has 6 rows of teeth
That's a moraaay!
Bro you have the BEST JOKES. “After a little practice, I need a little more practice” classic
Every sunday I sit with a hot coffee and watch ur videos doing absolutely nothing, it slowly became my habbit on sunday. The videos are so relaxing. Thanks for giving such content.

Fun fact! Some morays can be friendly and bond with divers who frequent their territories. So maybe the big eel is just greeting an old friend!
Man, how is this channel not at a million subscribers already!!! Has to be one of the best diorama channels on RUclips.
Ive been here since before 10k. Doesn't seem that long ago now. Prob be over a million in a few months or sooner!
I know you've struggled with resin before. Thank you for showing us how to learn from our mistakes and create better in the future. Great work.
Your videos are so relaxing on behalf of all of us thank you
Yes! I love deep sea horror/horror adjacent stuff. And big clunky dive suits. And watching you make and pour resin.
So this was a deeply enjoyable video
Amazing as always. I love the conversion of the soldier. Especially the little flippers.
I was really surprised when you put black tape around the bottom to finish it off instead of the infamous Black 3.0 or Black 4.0. I love how this project turned out (like always). All the little bubbles inside help bring out the feeling it's actually underwater instead of just in resin
That is the best and only eel-cube I've ever seen.
Great work!
I am a fellow hobbyist and a marine biologist in the making (studying it rn), this is so awesome to me! Keep up the good work. :)
And the bubbles that are left look perfect!
I have an idea for a diorama if you’re particularly interested...

That would be cool!
love love how your resin is soooooo clear, I can watch that spinning beauty shot at the end for day! So pretty.
The resin looks great! :) Loved this build as usual.
What if you put them in fishbowls instead of building a temporary box? Could save a lot of time and show your twisted side a bit too
Masterful work once more Boylei. I enjoy your resin builds as well.
I look forward to this every Sunday
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Ive been watching you for 2 and half years and seen some really cool stuff!!! This is definitely one of the top ten bests so far.

Ik that would be REALLY hard to do the resin in a sphere shape. But still, could you try to make something like this as a snow globe!?
Would seem to me that if he suspended the model over a spare mold and then poured the resin in you'd end up with a snowglobe-like dome.
Oh wow! I have that Moray Figure!!! I backed the Reaper Kickstarter years ago, and that mini is one of the ones that convinced me to do it! It's a spectacular piece and you brought it to life in outstanding fashion! Bravo!
Damn ... these underwater dioramas are just something else. ❤
I'm amazed at your ability to week in and week out put out such high quality videos featuring your beautiful artwork. Truly amazing Boylei!
That's gorgeous 👍👍
Who else thinks boylei would never be the same if he didnt voice over 😌
👇
Nicely done, your weekly videos are my Sunday morning moment of Zen.
Nicely done
I have to agree about the Eels. They kinda give me the creeps. Loved the Oil wash it
looks very good.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Well done again, I'm from Australia & I was also into SCUBA diving back in the day & have come across Moray Eels on more than one occasion & I can tell you that even the normal sized ones are scary as crap especially when they lunge out of their hole at you.
Another awesome build! Thanks a lot.
Always an Outstanding build, Video and presentation.
Shoutout to Marco! Not Just Mecha is a great channel. His techniques and grasp of color theory are unparalleled.
Boyle I hobby time is the best
Dude, this is beautiful!
My Sunday morning is now complete!
I've been watching your videos for like a year or so now (probably less) and only just now realized that the tools and stuff in your intro spell out boylei. Clever
Can't wait to see where the painting journey takes you! It's always inspiring to see skilled people working on their skill set
That looks great!
Also that's good to know that slow curing resin may be a better option if I want to avoid heating issues.
This is awesome! Glad the resin worked out.
Another beautiful dioroma great job 👍
Thats real art i want to see in an art museum and my room
Thank you for getting me into models like this
one of my favorite aspects of your pieces is how you capture movement in so many of them. this is really beautiful☺️
looking forward to Sunday to get more ideas from you, Painting miniature is not easy for me.. , THX
I know the deep resin pours are always stressful but they’re my favorite ones so thank you for continuing to make them lol
I really love watching you experiment with new stuff/techniques/colours/tools. It might be scary when they're not as predictable as the tried and true things, but the end result is always interesting.

I hope the resin goes off properly over the next few days now that its out of the mould.
Stunning work, and thanks for the video on oils!
My favorite video on your channel is the battle of geonoasis dirama
Love this realistic diorama of the unfortunately sea diver....That eel is really good....❤
Looks very good!
Have a great week ☺
Marco is really a source of inspiration for us mini painters, glad to know that you discovered him. Amazing project !!
I have a terrible fear of the things that lurk under the surface. And at the same time am absolutely fascinated by shipwrecks and the like. This piece came out great and I like how a couple of simple swaps created your diver to look like he fits perfectly.

Marco's stuff is awesome! Nice diorama, too. :)
Brilliant as always!
Love this Simple and Easy Diorama....
Love the content, would love to see a helldivers diorama with the beatiful explosions you do.
It seems like anything completely submerged in water gives a truly impressive look.
Another fantastic diorama Boylei. Stay amazing, and stay crafting.
These videos really help my lunch break
I love watching these resin projects
VERY. VERY COOL.
This is my favorite channel on RUclips.

Beautiful as always!
Never stop learning. Never stop reaching for better. 😊
Such talent and skill 👍👍
Great vid! That Moray Eel was very cool!
Always fun to see what you come up with
Anther great little scene.👏👏👏👏
A most excellent paint job!
So beautiful
Improving your painting sheesh.... I wish I could paint half as well as you 😂
I would love to see some of these sets placed together
Absolutely amazing I love these water dioramas so much. Anything that uses resin just looks so good imo
Another win! Fantastic color for the resin. Looks amazing.
real pretty stuff i like that
Hey maybe next time add some bubbles around the eel and above the divers helmet and spear gun! I love your art!
Right on, C!! Yet another awesome build. Yes, moray eels are somewhat frightening. I had an encounter with one when I was stationed on Guam while scuba diving. -Rick
Who doesn’t love a giant eel trapped in resin Jello
Guster
Love it!!! The resin turned out GREAT! And the paint job looks extra good. Awesome work!!! 👍
Nice to see such a good resin cure. A mini spectacular.
(Painting is something where you can never stop learning.) I wouldn't worry too much, you have a good skill there.😎
Amazing as always
Love your resin videos!
Woah, black 4.0 in tape form!
Yo! First, terrific little exploration and paint job. Also, thanks for the recommendation for Marco. I watched that video and I was blown away!
Next Stop: Boyle Hobby Time Binge Party!! ❤
Dude this is definitely one of your best dioramas you've made so far! The paint job looks amazing :D
Every time I see the boylei logo under a video, I feel pure joy. Love your videos so much! They calm me, while never failing to entertain me. Keep it up!
Been following this channel for as long as I’ve been hobbying. I never get tired of it
I also, made a video a while back where I put an Eel in epoxy resin, it was a Star Wars theme video, with Obi-Wan Kenobi... but it got views about 100x less then this one hahah. Great Project as always.

Love crafting, love Boylei Hobby Time, my daily dose is what helps me keep my sanity :) (sanity part is a joke)
this is a great video. Just love this.😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another thoroughly enjoyable build. Thank you for spoiling us!
Truly greatness, before us
