Alligator in Epoxy Resin | Diorama

[@Food24112]

I love all the little bubbles in the "water" it makes it seem more realistic to me even though it wasn't the intended purpose to have any bubbles in it.

[@Chris-rt6yq]

@Boylei What they said exactly, and absolutely. With mucky bottoms (🤔), in bodies of water, there is a lot of decomposition going on and the gas this produces comes out in little steams of bubbles. Just how you so expertly recreated. It was very humble of you to play this off as a "mistake". 😉❤

[@Gio98art]

Anyone who has lived near waters like these knows that bubbles like the ones in resin actually do happen when plant matter decompose

[@Jay-ql4gp]

The bubbles coming out of the sand work though. I like it. I lived in New Orleans for 20 years. You know how to tell if the water has gators in it? You move slowly up to the edge of the water, any body of water, and bend down to put a few fingers in it. If that water is wet...it's has gators in it!

[@just5fornow]

You can also tell if there's gators by seeing if one chomps your fingers off!

[@dragonQueen0]

I've heard that before! One of my best friends is from the Chalmette area

[@Is_This_Really_Necessary]

We have a more effective and safer method here in Australia. Walk along the river bank, staying at least 3 metres away from the water's edge, and throw a stick or rock about a water into the water. Repeat this process every metre you have walked. If there is no reaction from the water after 10 mins, it probably means there's no croc in the area ... ... probably ...

[@Arxn23]

Dang the videography has improved ever so slightly but it makes the overall experience all the more beautiful

[@crawbag0311]

Best part of my Sundays on overtime. Well done!

[@Dr.DasutinKeri]

After my doubleshift the day before, my Sunday's catalogue gets me up in the morn.

[@MickMontgomery]

I actually like the look of the trapped bubbles. Makes it look real.

[@animaldenminies]

Wow so cool to see my alligator in you project, I'm honored!

[@feb1839]

i adore the accidental touch of the bubbles floating in the water

[@igothesilversmith]

That first shot <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="690">11:30</a> after you said "I called it good" is insaaaanly atmosphere💀

[@AB-mw8oz]

The bubbled unintentially make this look less like a diorama and more of a live piece of art

[@JMsWork]

You know it‘s gonna be a good day when Boylei Posts

[@danielberger6271]

Thanks!

[@mairaineplayzgames2205]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="177">2:57</a> small tip, might prevent bubbles: instead of a doing an instant deep poor. do a tiny poor instead. just do enough resin to cover the ground texture and nothing more. if bubbels get created, the inmediatly pop because they dont have to trave l through thiccc resin thats curing. it inmediatly finds a way out because the layer is only a hair thick

[@BigRedUS]

Or you can use a brush and paint on a layer of resin.

[@JDWidhalm]

Came to the comments to make this exact point. Well said mate

[@mairaineplayzgames2205]

@ thats basicly what i meant

[@aliasfakename-mf2jh]

the bubbles actually add a lot of life to the resin!

[@josephdeese5298]

That first reveal shot was absolute cinema 🔥

[@iain.sm.c]

I love how kids tell stories hahaha. The detail of dad coming to fight off the gator with a spatular, the fantastic underwater environment, the kids. All perfect.

[@Ya_boi_jasper]

I like how you never intend bubbles but they always add to the creation. Like very rarely has any of the bubbles significantly affected the piece. Water isn’t bubble free, especially when there’s creatures lurking just below the surface. It honestly gives it just a bit of realism than a perfectly see through piece

[@Powershelley]

The fact Deinosuchus likely was about that size is terrifying and awesome.

[@carrie4910]

Daaaaaang that is AWESOME! Those glamour shot were amazing

[@MrKoocanusa]

All of the viewers' dioramas were awesome.

[@ashleyscott4054]

Oh my goodness, Boylei answered my question in his video 😵😱 I feel so thrilled right now 🤣 thank you!

[@kemp9842]

As everyone else is saying, the bubbles beneath the surface really add to the presentation.

[@carrie4910]

Yeeeaaah lil tiny alligator…10/10 would try petting 😂

[@saveusmilkboy]

The bubbles made it better, actually! I feel like it is a living body of water, none too calm, so the boys could not have seen the massive alligator before they got dream-eaten.

[@stuartpurdon7190]

the bubbles actaully add to the effect because some swamps to bubble due to trees and stuff fermenting so its not totally unrealistic Love this

[@beverleybee1309]

Many, many eons ago,.. my parents were looking at houses in Mississippi, Biloxi I think, my sister and I were sent outside to play. I was about 3 years old, my sister was 2. In the backyard was a large alligator. We ran back in and told our parents. They told us to go back out and play. We did not. We put on our "best behavior hats" and stayed in the house. Mom said she didn't believe us, not until it made the news that a six foot alligator was seen leaving the area.

[@jadedragon1406]

Man the beauty shots in this are just amazing!!! The cinematography of it looks absolutely wonderful! The opening shot angles behind the dad and seeing the boys, slowing turning to reveal the hidden danger of the alligator is magnificent!! And it really calls attention to how well you did posing the figures both when you made them in Hero Forge and when you placed them in the diorama! To so elegantly turn the beauty shots into something which furthers the mood of the scene is a rare thing to see done general, let alone done this well! Hats off to you!

[@thomasohanlon1060]

The bubbles that are being released from the ground covering look good and add more motion to the environment. Great video and diorama.

[@Fauntleroy.]

Anyone else who can't help wondering what he looks like when his voice is so dreamy and soothing?

[@MiscMitz]

Very cool! 😎

[@gtv6chuck]

The dioramas by your members were really fun to see.

[@Omerta-cm4zv]

From the day I subscribed I don't believe I have missed a single video. You really are an inspiration

[@vagadagadingdong]

as a deino player in the isle evrima, I absolutely loved this one.

[@ni-dirus]

Honestly I love how the bubbles came up from the sand, it wasn't a lot that got stuck but the ones that did gave the water life imo

[@hazonku]

I REALLY liked that first backlit shot through the resin during the turntable at the end. Great project!

[@IJS433]

Yes like others mentiond, the small amount of bubbles floating around help the scene! The alligator would make bubbles by swimming or bobbing up and down in the sandy murky bottom

[@validore1]

Damn how coll would it have been if the gator was lying low on the bottom with his snout poking up just above the water surface ready to strike? ugh chills

[@Maximum-qn1dr]

This looks awesome

[@nilsexplorer]

I still remember that video two years ago when you unboxed the stuff from Diorama Presepe, as it was my first Boylei-video!

[@chroniclesoftinybattles]

How is it that these scenarios featuring monsters in tension-filled situations always strike a chord and are so captivating?

[@Scenejellybean]

I’m a huge fan of this voiceover. It’s like you’re half asleep and maybe a little flu-loopy and it’s fantastic

[@MiddleoftheIsland]

This turned out really clean! I've just started a channel of my own doing similar stuff that you do (but worse) and my first two videos have done surprisingly well. Thank you for being such an inspiration! ❤

[@PearlJam2k6]

One thing id suggest is to airbrush the grass when you're done with a few shades of different greens or adding a bit more volume with taller clumps here and there, static grass tends to look really bad when its just flocked on its own sadly and it really takes away from what is a gorgeous diorama. The little bubbles from the sand actually work really well i think too, almost like there's actual motion in the water that shifted them out from the soil or other.

[@swollasaurusflex7671]

Would absolutely love to see the WIW venture up north. Ice, snow, Inuit tribes, monstrous polar bears, giant snow owls, killer pods of orcas and leopard seals. The possibilities are endless

[@glizzymcguire4849]

Did training at Ft. Polk, LA several years ago. During down time, me and a crew of guys went exploring. Came upon a small pond just off the road. There was a hill at one end of that allowed you to overlook the pond. From that hill, I was able to see the shadow of a massive gator just about the size of the pond just hanging out at the bottom. I don’t do dark water now.

[@goofyguyOhYeah]

Thinking about the dads dream is horrifying! fantastic visual representation!

[@jcbro86]

That first rotating shot of the finished diorama silhouette gave me just a touch of fear as the father of three boys.

[@patrickmulcare2410]

I was watching some videos shot in Japan of people buying items from gatcha vending machines. I was surprised that there were so many different miniaturized versions of commonplace items. There were public payphones, office supplies, camping supplies, meals from restaurants and so on. All I could think about was how they would be good for making a diorama and talking about it here.

[@Dummythxc]

Your patreon supports make some really awesome things !

[@danielberger6271]

Keep up the great work....I love watching your creations that you do.

[@elitster]

Somebody needs a hug! 🐊

[@wallabaatar]

This is the coolest and most delightfully-terrifying micro-giant alligator I’ve ever dreamt of seeing!! Seriously, it’s such a great build and video! Thanks Boylei!

[@Aikurisu]

Their dad must have been the greatest fry cook this side of the galaxy for how he went about saving them!

[@chicgeekery]

Dad gonna save them with a spatula! I love this.

[@TheScarletteWhisper]

I always love seeing your uploads in my feed. I watch usually before sleeping as the videos are relaxing and your voice is the perfect narration voice, not too loud or staged - just relaxed and calm which is great. Your creations are so awesome, it’s amazing seeing what you come up with each week! Have a great week 😊☀️

[@Shawshank11]

Would love to see a Big Trouble in Little China Diorama....Great Work!

[@mightymax1337]

Amazing! The camera shots at the end are also very well done!

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Man, oh man! That first rotating glamor shot?!? Chef's kiss, my friend. Excellent work as always, Boylei. God bless, man.

[@Hextrill]

That's an amazing piece, the light though the resin gives this so much depth!

[@PineAsassin]

Such a crazy true story that actually really happened wow

[@therainbowoak3465]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="175">2:55</a> LOL, words are non-existent! I get like that sometimes!! 😂 Great Video man!! always love to see it!

[@sandwich_slap1847]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="694">11:34</a> it almost looks like the surface of the water has raindrops hitting the surface and it looks awesome.

[@mitchelmcarthur1662]

aweseome build and loved your patreons builds this month, so many and they all smashed the theme out of the park

[@MBuchanan0119]

I really like the small bubbles in the water. Really sells it.

[@philippojer4293]

Once again great work and yes, love the theme. Just to add, for xmas my partner got me a few of your tshirt, very nice overall in quality and design 😊

[@matthewcochran3325]

Another banger brother! I had a close encounter with an alligator about that size in the Honey Island Swanp. Actually it was a baby that was probably a foot long, but when you are paddling through the swamp and come by one, it looks like it is 35 feet long.

[@thedandy6765]

honestyle the bubbles that are in the resin are nice they make it look more real like lil gas bubbles from under groujnd

[@lightboxlife]

Lovely diorama. It really is all about perspective😂

[@jeremiahward9999]

It’s crazy I’ve been subscribed to this channel for 2 years.

[@michavanbodegom1197]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="549">9:09</a> love the rally close encounter from hummersepp

[@garzilla7123]

That was a creepy but fun one this week. 🙂👍👍👍🐊

[@GnarfletheGarthok309]

My Sunday is made. Love your funny commentary and building skills! The lighting in the end display is perfect.

[@markmillham483]

Love your content. While watching this, I have another suggestion. How about a giant snapping turtle or catfish under the bank and somebody noodling about to get a surprise.

[@kurtlindner]

Joshua Larkins' Crab Encounter is freakin sweet.

[@YiminyCricket]

i still wanna see you create a resin diorama but with something like a Z'Gok, Zee Zulu, Zaku Mariner, Waterproof Gundam or something of the sort. great work as always

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Great diorama and that turn out fanstastic !

Incredible video as always. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES ON I GOT NO ALERTS THIS WAS DROPPED.

[@Jaykus13]

Awesome work as always!

[@christophschuster4695]

I haven't seen a video of you for like 5 weeks. Great job looks good.

[@michealgrzywinski4959]

Sundays have quickly become my favorite day. Great video

[@bloocheez3]

I'm from the deep South. When I look back on some of the waters me and my cousins would wander off to play in, I'm amazed we had never gotten *got*

[@TheGreatBlub57]

I love being early enough to see the likes go up one by one. Just a bunch of people enjoying a fantastic diorama on a Sunday.

[@Loki-965AD]

Two by land one by sea hahaha good history reference!

[@dragonQueen0]

The look of the gator in the water reminds me of the ones I saw at the Audubon Zoo, New Orleans

[@stumpy314]

This has quickly became my new favorite Sunday morning activity, watching the latest Boylei Hobby Time video. As usual, you've outdone yourself, sir. I'm in constant amazement at what you create.

[@benblank6434]

Since you have so much plant stuff you should make a jungle diorama with a hunter and a massive leopard or tiger, might be cool

[@KaijuBiologist]

Fyi: a 300 ft long alligator is big enough to give Godzilla a decent fight. Beautiful diorama, btw.

[@Orion9856]

Wow, this is a great one! Kudos!

[@Retaxal_Miku]

You should make a skibidi toliet diorama because that would be stupid, plus skibidi toliet is getting official army man figures like those ones in buckets at Walmart

[@marcelw2139]

Thanks to you I startet making dioramas of my owne from the Jurassic Park movies. And knowing that bigger dioramas take a lot of time I can appreciate yours even more.

[@magicwoodjewelry]

Great work Man 👌

[@reddogterrain]

That turned out real nice.

[@zacateck]

Awesome work as always 🎉

[@JosephHannon-d2m]

Amazing diorama! Love the details in the water, like the plants and bubbles!!! I think a cool diorama idea would be that soda can in a mini vacuum chamber 😂

[@Enoxix.]

Very cool!!

[@seankearney2592]

Thats one Scary Alligator...

[@TheGalantHamburger]

Bubbles definitely add to the effect in this case, a Bob Ross style happy little accident

[@rccarguy3696]

I love the bubbles. That’s called ‘a happy little accident’! It needs some trees though. 🌲 🌲 🌲

[@johnatkinson755]

Another great diorama

[@jst1man]

WOW That's kinda eerie!
