Youcan already do it in blender by just buying enough models to have every item and then in blender they show as separate items and then you can just move around freely. But this is absolutely awesome for the people who don't want to do that process or only want to buy one or two miniatures.
@@draconicdust3435honestly you don't even need to buy. There is a plethora of crazy good models for free. Either because the marker do t monetized or because the makers is giving a sample. From that you can Kitbash.
Apparently they get big around this wreck. Must be all the free nummies the guardians leave floating about. How to make Australia more terrifying: add undead scavenging venomous cephlopods. (Rather than their garden variety venomous cephlopods.)
Ok, I confess, I often skip over the “Sponsor” parts of videos, but this Hero Forge feature is so cool (I watched every second of the video). And this build is incredible on all levels! Thanks Boylei!
@@marshawargo7238Clearly, the zombies died while diving, so they have the apparatuses but don't need them. However, being respectable sailors in life, they still scrape the hull of their ship to remove the barnacles. :p
Revealing the finished miniatures and *then* showing how you kitbashed the diving-specific parts together was really effective. It's obvious you put a ton of work into those but i don't think HF could ask for a better demo of their tool.
I recommend a metal "base" underneath all buildings that don't have a level flooring, so you can put a magnet in the base of the model and have it stick. Otherwise minature games get very complicated because your units are sliding along everywhere >.
The usual Sunday morning post from Boylei ceases to amaze. Blue rings on this harmless octopus… hahaha. Thankfully they don’t get that big. But, on the other hand, that’d make them easier to spot. What a fun project! Looks fantastic! See you next week, sir.
with this amazing ship build, as well as the others, I love to see a diorama with the Black Pearl V. Flying Dutchman, Queen Anne's Revenge, Silent Mary, & HMS Endevor.
This is excellent, Boylei! A gameboard that doubles as a diorama! It also proves that you don't need a clear resin pour to achieve effective underwater scenes. Using XPS to make your ship is a good idea that should also work for an intact wargaming terrain as well as for a wreck. (I'm going to have to make a model ship this way, someday . . . .) Though your Zombie Divers look pretty cool, maybe you could make an alternate set of figures for Ghost Pirate Skeletons, as well. My like is in the 2.6Ks.
BRO!!!!!! DAYUM!!!!!......That came out GREAT!!!!!....simple, neat, but still full of details that make it fun to look at on the game table, or display shelf!🙌
Your weird west stuff is the most original, inspiring and creative stuff out there. This takes it to a whole new level, location and genre. Makes me wonder if there isn't a time or place you couldn't do. Looking forward to more of similar or different... either way keep going!
Can't go wrong with some zombies! Making them soggy, crusty underwater zombies makes it even creepier = better. Fabulous job with the painting, even more than usual. Hmm... does this kitbashing feature mean that we're one step closer to seeing some chupacabra mermaids?
Never had any interest in Hero Forge as I'm a capable Zbrush sculptor and make all of my models from scratch. I've also never really had the time or interest for tabletop war gaming but now that they have a kitbash feature I just might have to check it out. Great build. The airbrushed caustic lighting came out AMAZING!!!
I watch every week and think this is one of my favorite videos so far. When I first saw the thumbnail, I foolishly wasn’t expecting the ship to be hand made. Of course it is! Even the sponsored ad was fun and interesting. Keep ‘em coming. I hope this channel offers you the financial support you deserve.
Returning back to this video to show it some love as it is the very first diorama video that I ever saw and began my journey into the crafting world for myself! No doubt my favorite video for the nostalgia. Keep being inspiring Boylei! 🫶
This concept would be such an awesome game! Make your kit, go treasure hunting in the depths of the sea fight some monsters and use your plunder to improve your gear
A quick line with a pencil through the cut lines in the foam really make them not look like foam, I like using it for blocks and stuff but if you had a sharpened pencil it would probably work well for wood, just don’t press hard or you will tear the foam. Great video!
I know this was a sponsored video so I assume there were some stipulations about keeping their bases etc. Hope to see this base revisited in the future with baseless minis in more dynamic positions with the same underwater de-saturation, and possibly a resin pour.
Another amazing diorama! Whenever I see zombies like these I always think of the scene in the animated cult classic movie Heavy Metal. In the scene a WW2 bomber's crew turns into zombies after being killed but the pilot bails out just in time. After parachuting to "safety" on a tropical island he discovers he is surrounded by plane wrecks that are full of zombie crewmen. The entire scene is less than 4 min long but it has always stayed with me since I saw it as a teenager in the late 80's. This might make for a great diorama. Link to the scene: ruclips.net/video/FEC-Q_HCeNg/видео.htmlsi=ieC0wyhuGmyYikhC
To answer the "quarterdeck vs. poop deck" question, the deck you made is the quarterdeck. The poop deck is just the highest deck on the ship, which means the quarterdeck can be both, although it wouldn't be referred to as the poop deck.
That terrain paste btw is an absolute godsend idea! I used it on a train layout diorama recently and really acts like natural earth and dirt. Love it and all your other tips and tricks
That is seriously insane and you'd never guess started out as just pieces of foam. I've got a bunch of larger Neca figures and I think I'm inspired by you to try and create some dioramas with them❤thank you for your awesome videos
HF pro was worth it for the custom color gallery and community pose library, but damn this new feature changes everything, we've come so far from the old simple custom ttrpg minis
Oh wow, those artificial sun-though-water stripes work really well! I hadn't expected that to be so convincing. Ugh, I wish I had a 3D printer. Great diorama, as always!
Very cool. As someone that wants to get into 3D printing, this looks like the best way to start. You guys make it look way to easy im sure. But I'll give it a try lol
that underwater lighting paintjob is *chef's kiss*
Damn, that kitbashing feature makes a Hero Forge subscription not only look like a good idea, but freaking great idea.
Youcan already do it in blender by just buying enough models to have every item and then in blender they show as separate items and then you can just move around freely. But this is absolutely awesome for the people who don't want to do that process or only want to buy one or two miniatures.
I just checked and the pros don't have that yet..
@@draconicdust3435they no longer show up as separate bits unfortunately.
@@MrAnimateEverything Damn, well I still have all of the old ones saved
@@draconicdust3435honestly you don't even need to buy. There is a plethora of crazy good models for free. Either because the marker do t monetized or because the makers is giving a sample. From that you can Kitbash.
7:40 “little blue rings onto this harmless little octopus” lol’d
Yet no barnacles or zebra muscles? Those blue rings are sooo pretty & mesmerizing, I just want to pet them😢!
Haha, that got me too! So many people are gonna miss that reference.
Apparently they get big around this wreck. Must be all the free nummies the guardians leave floating about.

And this build is incredible on all levels! Thanks Boylei!
That Hero Forge creation tool looks super-intuitive. It's nice not needing a 3D modeling degree to make what you want.
“… and then I started a hard-wood flooring company. We specialize in hard woods such as balsa wood.” 😂
Balsa is actually a hardwood
I read this by accident as soon as he was saying it😂😂
@@thatawkwardfeeling9076which I am ever baffled by
omg the ocean-wave-rays details on the ship and sea-floor are amazing!
I almost didn't catch the pun regarding the zombie's canon, until the divers arrived. Well played, Boylei.
I was stuck with why Zombies needed a breathing apparatus😮!? Also, no barnacles? On the poop deck bridge😂
@@marshawargo7238Clearly, the zombies died while diving, so they have the apparatuses but don't need them. However, being respectable sailors in life, they still scrape the hull of their ship to remove the barnacles. :p
I didn't get the joke until right at the end. Pachelbel's lolcannon. Very clever. Good build, too.
Revealing the finished miniatures and *then* showing how you kitbashed the diving-specific parts together was really effective. It's obvious you put a ton of work into those but i don't think HF could ask for a better demo of their tool.
I've spent countless hours on Hero Forge making tons of characters. And now they're adding kitbashing?! I'm so stoked!
The quarter deck is higher than the main deck, but lower than the poop deck. The poop deck is the highest deck and is located at the rear of the ship.
I recommend a metal "base" underneath all buildings that don't have a level flooring, so you can put a magnet in the base of the model and have it stick. Otherwise minature games get very complicated because your units are sliding along everywhere >.
Zombies and shipwrecks-they go together like bacon and eggs! Thx for the video-EXCELLENT work! 😎👍
You could say EGGCELLENT
More like rancid bacon and rotten eggs!

methinks you forgot a word in that first sentence bud. Boylei *never* ceases to amaze.
There's something about the light refractions that make this build so satisfying.
"Harmless" little blue rings eh... deadliest creature on the entire layout. Well played.
with this amazing ship build, as well as the others, I love to see a diorama with the Black Pearl V. Flying Dutchman, Queen Anne's Revenge, Silent Mary, & HMS Endevor.
"little blue rings onto this harmless little octopus"
THERE IS NO ANTIDOTE FOR A BLUE RINGED OCTOPUSES VENOM
what a sweet little HARMLESS octopus!
nice build as always!

Fabulous job with the painting, even more than usual.
Hmm... does this kitbashing feature mean that we're one step closer to seeing some chupacabra mermaids?
Ok. Chupicabra mermaids just beat out my previous best name for a band: supplicating axolotyls.
Looks awesome! Love the watery ripples paint job.
I'm glad to see that someone is finally acknowledging that the undead do have outside interests other than scarfing the organs of the hated living.

'Ay lads what's that on the Horizen?'
"Sir its a ship"
"Are those zombies lad"
Moon landing or rover on moon or mars
The Venus probe would cool also
Mars landing
I like it
Landing the moon on a rover?
@@Akavir7 Yes
Returning back to this video to show it some love as it is the very first diorama video that I ever saw and began my journey into the crafting world for myself! No doubt my favorite video for the nostalgia. Keep being inspiring Boylei! 🫶
That paint job of the underwater sunlight effect is incredible! Great job and thank you for sharing this video!
Really amazing, the possibility of virtual kitbashing your figures add a new flavor to the hobby!👍
the kitbashing feature on Hero Forge is a game changer! I'm looking forward to use it for some own minis
Great project man! Lovely paint job!
I am BEYOND stoked for the kitbashing feature! Now I'll just need to learn 3D printing, mini painting, and all this other stuff XD
Be like me and only in Heroforge for making a library of cool guys!
7:39
From harmless to harmful.
This concept would be such an awesome game! Make your kit, go treasure hunting in the depths of the sea fight some monsters and use your plunder to improve your gear
This is so amazing! Love your creativity Boylei! Thanks for this awesome video.
Next should be the diorama of a kijou attacking on a city (inspired by movie `Pacific rim`) ❤
Super excited for Hero forge kitbashing! Thanks for showing us.
"harmless little octopus"
Wow! I don’t usually comment but for some reason this is my favorite build you have put out.
The flippers made from capes is pure genius
The wood install jokes are timely as I’m doing flooring today. Haha. Great jokes
It is embarrassing how giddy I get when notified he has uploaded a new vid... Favorite channel, by far.
A quick line with a pencil through the cut lines in the foam really make them not look like foam, I like using it for blocks and stuff but if you had a sharpened pencil it would probably work well for wood, just don’t press hard or you will tear the foam. Great video!
Adding the blue rings to the octopus made it far from harmless lol
Your painting skills are amazing. Another great build. Thanks for sharing.
“Once my work station was free from debris…”
*bars*
😆😆😆
An undersea world like you do the wild imaginary west would be awesome. Divers vs zombies and ghost pirates.
Just woke up and got the notification gonna be a good day great vid as always
I just woke up to 😂
Me 3 😂
Really like the modular nature of this build and being able to use it as more than a standard diorama.
That was an awesome kitbash and build. Love how you did the ripply sunbeams that was way cool looking.
👍👍👍
curious to see what you would have done if the bases to these characters were removed.
So the poop deck is always above the Captain’s quarters if that helps
I know this was a sponsored video so I assume there were some stipulations about keeping their bases etc. Hope to see this base revisited in the future with baseless minis in more dynamic positions with the same underwater de-saturation, and possibly a resin pour.
I'm so glad the kitbashing feature is at the testing phase. I've been eagerly awaiting it since they said they wanted to develop.
As an Australian hearing an octopus with little blue rings followed by harmless, please don’t touch why octopus with blue rings
Another amazing build and miniatures! Love the sunray effect
So the billionaires did explore the titanic in the end how wholesome
if only i had the time and skills kitbashing looks awesome. Good work and awesome stuff
Just amazing Sir! That paint job on the ship is epic!

Awesome build, C!! I love the hardwood floors. Time to check out Hero Forge. - Rick
Oh yeah, octopus with blue rings. totally harmless, suuuuure. 😉👌
Beautiful ship!
I liked making models in Hero Forge, and that kit-bashing function looks like the perfect feature to add!
To answer the "quarterdeck vs. poop deck" question, the deck you made is the quarterdeck. The poop deck is just the highest deck on the ship, which means the quarterdeck can be both, although it wouldn't be referred to as the poop deck.
Pachobels cannon… good one.
That kitbash feature got me engaged. It works similary on how a mod from a game a like works.
Great video! You should make a dune diorama, maybe a sandworm or an exploding spice harvester. Or maybe an ornithopter!
I was expecting a massive resin pour. But the dappled underwater effect is beautiful and really convincing.
That terrain paste btw is an absolute godsend idea! I used it on a train layout diorama recently and really acts like natural earth and dirt. Love it and all your other tips and tricks
Dude, that paintjob on the zombies was god tier, awesome!
Nice inclusion of a fossilized Pink Panther in the sea bed.
very cool, i do prefer when you use models without baseplates as you get their orientation more natural.
still, very nicely done.
That is seriously insane and you'd never guess started out as just pieces of foam. I've got a bunch of larger Neca figures and I think I'm inspired by you to try and create some dioramas with them❤thank you for your awesome videos
Those light dapples are INCREDIBLE. Love this piece!
im usually terrified of the ocean but something about old timey dive suits and harpoon guns really gets me in the mood to do some undersea crafting
HF pro was worth it for the custom color gallery and community pose library, but damn this new feature changes everything, we've come so far from the old simple custom ttrpg minis
I ALWAYS love your work. Totally amazing!!! But this scratch built ship just blew me away!!! ...and the kit-bashed miniatures rocked!!! 👏
I can't be the only one who thinks the undead divers kinda look like the Monsters Inc hazmat crew, right?
Pacabel and his canon are brilliant
The light rays REALLY sold this!! Amazing job. I would feel so immersed (pun intended) playing a D&D encounter on that set
Oh wow, those artificial sun-though-water stripes work really well! I hadn't expected that to be so convincing. Ugh, I wish I had a 3D printer. Great diorama, as always!
This makes me want to make a BioShock diorama and minis. Absolutely loved this, probably one of my favorite of your builds!
Pachelbel and his cannon. I see you.👀
Ugh, I hate when my shipwrecks get infested with zombie divers. They're so difficult to get rid of
That lighting is incredible
looks amazing , thx for resumen 👌👌👌
Such talent and skill. You did a great work 👏👏
Add some blue rings to this "harmless" octopus...
I don't think you can call a blue ringed octopus harmless
Love these minis man. Look like they'd be great for table top wargaming.
Very cool custom minis!
The divers remind me of how Borderlands does their texturing on their models for the games
Very cool. As someone that wants to get into 3D printing, this looks like the best way to start. You guys make it look way to easy im sure. But I'll give it a try lol
Hero forge seems wicked cool
Pachelbel's Canon.....inDeed! Top shelf work, man!
I really like your humor. Balsa wood flooring in a house would be hilarious!
