Build looks great as usual. I think an interesting setting for a build would be a redwood forest. For a monster I think you should go with a northern spotted owl. I think this would be a good contender for a avian monster.
Could not possibly agree more. Like it was scooped straight out of the bayou. Absolute perfection. The only thing missing is a little more scenery, some river bottom, muddy banks with a dead tree or two, logs on the bottom or even better an old ship wreck.
Okay, hear me out. Realistic Coyote on an Arizona desert cliffside setting a trap for a Realistic Roadrunner. Other than that, awesome stuff as always!
I am *loving* this universe and your crafting skills are unmatched IMO - my personal suggestion is maybe a ‘full-size’ steamboat (ie, in scale with the main dioramas) with the crew fighting off a boarding action from some giant crabs or similar? Maybe put it on a stand if that would be too much resin? :))
Y'know what steampunk scenes usually have? Airships. Maybe the crabs are breaking out of crates while the ship is trying to land on a much thinner resin river with paint to add fake depth. Big ships landing in water always looks cool
Well done, as always! Sure, you COULD have 3D Printed the giant catfish, (which was nicely sculpted.) But sometimes, the 'old ways' really ARE the best! Your project videos always inspire me to be a better model builder. But this time, it also made me hungry . . . . I can just imagine a person on the boat saying, "Not only are we going to need a bigger boat. We're also going to need a bigger box of catfish breading mix!"
Obsoletely love this 'Weird West' setting of yours. Makes me reminisce about Edition one of WWX (Wild West Exodus tabletop game). Keep up the amazing videos.
Damn Caleb, I thought you were a hobbyist just like us until you casually pulled out your de-pressurization chamber apparatus like it was nothing. Wasn't expecting this one today! Comedy gold all around!
And it was G O O D! And substantial kudos for the Jeremy Wade shout-out. Had assumed he was far too “eccentric British TV” for an international audience. But apparently not ... cool!
I just went back and watched your alligator video, I had no idea you did any digital sculpting! And very well done to boot! That said, the sculpey catfish turned out amazing so you're super skilled in both mediums!
Well done, my dear! Please do name her Lulu, after the giant catfish who was a pet at the local pet store. My cousin owned her for a while, and I loved to say goodnight to her and sleep near her when I was there. She had to go back to the store when she got too big, but we visited her regularly. Eventually, however, the pet shop owner’s Great Danes broke into the shop and wrought havoc. Lulu was never found, I like to think when the dogs smashed her tank she gave them what for, got to the nearby river, and there she is immortalized!
So as a person that is pretty scared of water and big water things in general this is terrifying to imagine BUT it's still really cool regardless. The color of the "water" is perfect for a nice muddy river. Good work!
I work on a tugboat on the upper Mississippi River and trust me that catfish isn’t far off 😂 We once thought there was a dead buck floating in the water but once we grabbed the binoculars realized it was a 100+ pound catfish that probably got caught up in a line boats wheels because the water was pretty low.
There a long tradition of tales of man-eating catfish in the Mississippi, so you're not far off. Great job, as usual, I really enjoy the Wild Imaginary West story you're telling with your dioramas.
Absolutely stunning! Love this series ❤️ Would you be able to do a diorama with either a bayou or the everglades as a setting? I think they would be excellent set pieces to depict ambush
Do your skills know no bounds. You just casually sculpted an amazing sculpture of a catfish. These videos are always so impressive and cool. Great job.
Love the build. I think a cool idea for a build could be an alphine cliffside with a large direwolf destroying a mech-wagon of some size. It would finally let the monsters show their full potential by destroying something.
This is very awesome. I came across your channel a couple of days ago and cant stop watching, I would love to see a diorama featuring something like a bull, mastadon or gorilla!!!
I love your channel and all your builds. Personally your my favorite model builder, I can’t wait to see what else you come up with once your channel grows. (Great build)
Over the last three or four days, I've watched maybe the majority of your "Imaginary West" project and I'm feeling so inspired by it! I kinda want to do a dnd game in that very setting, bit more Cthulhu-Esque with some magic strown in between the rough machinery and the space travel, but yeah, it would definetly make a lovely world for games or movies!
@boylei hobby time I absolutely love watching your videos! You've inspired me to pick up my brushes again and start getting back into my hobbies! You're so very talented! So cool dude! Thanks, Stephen Penor
i really love how it looks like the sun is shining down in the water with the lines that you can see from the side :) and as always your videos are always wonderfull and the same goes for the builds
that is some North of the Border-level of sculpting the catfish! Awesome Diorama. The guys on that tiny Tug Boat need to have nerves of steel to travel on murky water knowing that there are so huge Monsters in vicinity.

Please make thissss!!!! this is the best suggestion-idea I've seen
Maybe a cool winged owlbear.
I strongly suggest a gigantic crow at a scale where it's the size of a 6' tall person.
or a snoroan owl, they live in the ground, could be some cool ideas with that
This is such a brilliant idea! Love this
Really nailed the murky water. I would love to see some landscape elements in these like fallen logs, branches, plants, etc. A+
Maybe a flooded town?
Exactly what I was thinking
Could not possibly agree more. Like it was scooped straight out of the bayou. Absolute perfection. The only thing missing is a little more scenery, some river bottom, muddy banks with a dead tree or two, logs on the bottom or even better an old ship wreck.
Okay, hear me out. Realistic Coyote on an Arizona desert cliffside setting a trap for a Realistic Roadrunner.
Other than that, awesome stuff as always!
The Coyote is a lawman and the Roadrunner keeps robbing travelers around canyon towns
Why stop at realisitc? Could be a type of Strider mech that people call a Roadrunner Vs a giant monsterous coyote.
@@RiderManX0, yes yes. I just want to see the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote integrated into the Wild Imaginary West!!!
Don't forget Bugs Bunny was an antagonist against the Coyote for a bit...maybe Bugs driving the RRMech?
@@RiderManX0 the one in that Green Day music video

Sounds like something straight out of Return of the Obra Dinn, would be epic for sure!
Love Death & Robots episode?!
I LOVE that you sculpted the catfish...it's perfect!! And I'd like to see a noodler go after that monster!! Another great build Boylei!!
I agree
Paul Bunyan would noodle this fish
Finaly the boats got their redemtion arc! Amazing as ever. Love the hand sculpting, hope to see more of it!
The light streaming through that cloudy resin is incredible looking.
I watch every video with my 3 boys when they come out. It's become a fun weekly tradition. Thanks for what you do!
Aw man, now I want a third piece with a crawfish monster... Love seeing this imaginary west series expand, always great build after great build!
Or Maybe a giant gar

This build is awesome! The smoke really brings it all together. I can’t believe the wild imaginary west has been around for about a year already.
This is fabulous! Your style of modelling has really inspired me and i love your videos. 👍👍
I just went back and watched your alligator video, I had no idea you did any digital sculpting! And very well done to boot!

Very cool project mate. 👍 thanks for sharing
Love the combat builds but these sort of "slice of life" ones really add that lived-in feel to the world, really great work again
Love the Imaginary Wild West, and your delivery is so chill with just a hint of funny. I could only wish the videos were twice as long!

Why not Big Mona in reference to "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island"?
We need a diorama of Lulu fighting the Great Dane in a smashed up pet shop
Not everything is about you my bad ma’am
you are the most talented person i have ever seen bravo!
i'll never tire of watching your vids
Always awesome! Every video I learn something new! Everyday’s a school day! 🐋🐈⬛🐟
Add some E-guitar and this is my kinda tune!
Oh btw: if you wanna safe some time, just clearcoat the matt resin. Makes it crystalclear.
So as a person that is pretty scared of water and big water things in general this is terrifying to imagine BUT it's still really cool regardless. The color of the "water" is perfect for a nice muddy river. Good work!
Oh man that side view where you can see the godrays in the water, just magnificent
A catfish was the perfect choice for that murky water. I'm also glad you remembered to credit those wormy dealies!
This is how Boylei catfishes his audience. Well done dude!
A "simple" build overall from your normal, but fantastic as always. Loving this alternative Western Universe
I'm addicted to the way the water rippling refracts the light shining down from above
I work on a tugboat on the upper Mississippi River and trust me that catfish isn’t far off 😂
We once thought there was a dead buck floating in the water but once we grabbed the binoculars realized it was a 100+ pound catfish that probably got caught up in a line boats wheels because the water was pretty low.
I love your wild imaginary west series. Makes me want to delve more into that world
There a long tradition of tales of man-eating catfish in the Mississippi, so you're not far off. Great job, as usual, I really enjoy the Wild Imaginary West story you're telling with your dioramas.
My 9yr old son loved your "Among Us" build. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with us!!
Nice little diorama! That murky water looks awesome!
I like the paint job on the tugboat. The red and black goes well with the antique, brown weathering.
i love watching these, would love to see you do a creation where some poor people are stuck between 2 giant monster's fighting.
My grandpa was an avid fisherman, but he hated catfish. called then "devil fish". This diorama would be his worst nightmare 😅
This guy has quickly become one of my favorite RUclipsrs
Absolutely stunning! Love this series ❤️
Would you be able to do a diorama with either a bayou or the everglades as a setting? I think they would be excellent set pieces to depict ambush
Yesssssssssss. Love the giant water creature builds. By far my favorite.
Once again an epic build, love the water with the sea creature. I call it great!
Boylei Hobby Time: single-handedly keeping the steamboat model company in business.
A very short and sweet video with amazing results the bayou is one of my favorite terrains so seeing swamp builds is always welcome
Paint and sculpt on the catfish are amazing, ive been binging your vids for a few days and I love it!
The 'Wild Imaginary West' needs to be brought to the screen. How awesome would a series be? 🤘
So long as it's done with love and true passion, then I'd LOVE to see it as a series!
I want this wild imaginary west to become a thing. You need to make a book of these models with some flavor text! I'd buy it :D
Do your skills know no bounds. You just casually sculpted an amazing sculpture of a catfish. These videos are always so impressive and cool. Great job.
The thing I love about these videos is just how truly immersive and PERFECT they are, amazed me once again
I will never see Mississippi River the same way again! Inspired and cracking job!!
Love the build. I think a cool idea for a build could be an alphine cliffside with a large direwolf destroying a mech-wagon of some size. It would finally let the monsters show their full potential by destroying something.
The catfish and boat came out great. Happy Easter bud
Looks absolutely amazing you actually insured me to start making dioramas keep it up
This is a catfish even Jeremy Wade wouldn't go after. Well done as always!
Dude you're really good at this! Very calming!
I like the murkiness of the water. Unsure if it was intended, but it definitely works for the theme.
Incredible work, I'm immediately reminded of Resident Evil 4's lake scene very atmospheric
Both builds were amazing, but going from the steam boat to this one back to back shows how much you’ve grown!! Beautiful work
This is very awesome. I came across your channel a couple of days ago and cant stop watching, I would love to see a diorama featuring something like a bull, mastadon or gorilla!!!
Boy, growing up in Louisiana, I have to say that your video title of not swimming in the Mississippi is spot on.
The paint job on the tugboat was pristine 👌
I do like the way the light filters through the water 👌
A fish sculpting a fish, wonderful 👌
Yes another Epoxy Resin diorama.
Your dioramas including boats have got to be my favorite
Always a pleasure to see more of the Wild Imaginary West.
The Jeremy Wade mention made me chuckle. Nice build once again! Been binging your videos the past few days
Tried the torch-advise for fixing my bicycle‘s rear light which I struggled with for quite some time.
Worked perfectly! 🤩 Thank you so much!
loving these builds. cant wait to see the next one that goes into the wild west
Loved it all, especially enjoyed the "wormy dealy" @NorthOfTheBoarder reference...
I love your channel and all your builds. Personally your my favorite model builder, I can’t wait to see what else you come up with once your channel grows. (Great build)
You really NAILED the color and clarity of the water. Really impressive stuff here.
I love to watch your videos and simply relax. Thank you for your hard work
Over the last three or four days, I've watched maybe the majority of your "Imaginary West" project and I'm feeling so inspired by it!
I kinda want to do a dnd game in that very setting, bit more Cthulhu-Esque with some magic strown in between the rough machinery and the space travel, but yeah, it would definetly make a lovely world for games or movies!
The things you make are awsome
Your model work really has become my favorite.
@boylei hobby time I absolutely love watching your videos! You've inspired me to pick up my brushes again and start getting back into my hobbies! You're so very talented! So cool dude!
Thanks,
Stephen Penor
Wonderful, wonderful. Resin builds are some of my favorites
Love it ! Don't know why but the song and your creation's mood reminds me of the show true detective !
love the commentary, i've seen a lot of craft channels but yours is my favorite, bring more craft plz
Really great work. Love this universe of yours. Great work with the catfish. Looks really amazing.
Build turned out amazing! The catfish was so cool. Loved the River Monsters nod lol.
That steamboat video was the first video of yours I watched, and I’ve been hooked ever since
Masterful work Boylei! I enjoy your resin works.
i really love how it looks like the sun is shining down in the water with the lines that you can see from the side :) and as always your videos are always wonderfull and the same goes for the builds
Yaaas steamboat is my favorite imaginary Wild West video, v. glad to see a similar diorama! :D
An airship fighting something like a coyote like monster would be epic.
I love the lore for this Wild West World you have
Nothing makes me happier than a Boylei Hobby time... but Boylei Hobby time - with resin sure does come close!
As someone from Mississippi, the water coloration is PERFECT.
you remind me of North of the Border, great channel love the videos keep it up
these never cease to make my jaw drop. never stop doing what you love mate.
You killed the paintjob as always. nice work!
Love it I can just picture myself on that boat
I love the merkey water! So cool!
I just love your videos, they always blow me away.. great work..
I remember when the first one came out. I’m so happy
that is some North of the Border-level of sculpting the catfish! Awesome Diorama.
The guys on that tiny Tug Boat need to have nerves of steel to travel on murky water knowing that there are so huge Monsters in vicinity.
Thus build was great! A thought for a build. A fishing dock and bait shop. The focal point being a crand pulling answer up out of the water.
That steam boat was the first video I watched so this would be the anniversary of watching your amazing videos
