Ancient Lake Horror | Epoxy Resin Diorama

#Resin #diorama #Korea
Two weeks ago, I posted a short video recap of my time in Korea and my search for some model kits to bring home. This week, I used two of those kits to create a house on an ancient lake with a scary visitor.
I also recently started a second channel! It’s called @hobbytimecreations. Go check it out and subscribe! • How to Make Grand Pris...

Everything about this diorama is gorgeous and it gives me a feeling of serenity.

[@davidf2281]

Much like the Northern Line... oh, wait.

[@jackbutt9604]

Same

Though shall worship no other gods. Materialism is not good.

[@pranavvarma9117]

Yes, because a water dragon attacking a monastery invokes a sense of peace

[@rasmuswittsell10]

For once, a monster diorama where the monster is not about to devour someone. And it looks great!

[@adkjeep1]

I wish I had your patience and attention to detail- I’d love to build something like this! I’ve got so many crazy ideas! 😊

[@rickylafleur9855]

His first project was probably extremely bad too he became a master through practice. I believe in you!

[@johnhanley5546]

Go for it - everyone has to start somewhere - then learn from your mistakes (if any) and go on! Any project you do will always be better than any project you dont do

[@nfgrova6434]

do what u gotta do i most definately am the most impatient being on the planet and im definitely not an artist so…. do with that what u will

[@GuamBaybe97]

You'll get there!!! Take notes of his process and just practice. I'm sure your accomplishments will grow your patience level. It has for mine lol!

[@Lea-xw9uz]

I have a patient and the attention to detail but I don’t have concentration or energy 😅. I hope that when/if you end up making things they turn out well 😊

[@Hanok_diorama]

hello. I live in Korea and I'm making a diorama of a hanok. The Hanok and Octagonal Pavilion diorama of this work is really cool. And thank you for making a diorama of Korean hanok in such a cool way. My goal is to promote hanok. Thanks to this, it seems that Korean hanok is known more quickly. I always admire you

[@dubuyajay9964]

Are there any 6mm scale kits?

[@Hanok_diorama]

​@@dubuyajay9964 I'm working on drawings myself, not kits.

[@dubuyajay9964]

@Hanok_diorama Yes, but in S. Korean Stores I mean.

[@Hanok_diorama]

@@dubuyajay9964 It is sold over the Internet.

[@Hecatolite_]

Hexagonal pavilion.

[@mrfantastic407]

Glad you stuck with the authentic Korean kits. I lived in South Korea for four years, and while I'm no expert, I do remember reading that Korean temples are unique, and there are quirks about their design and architecture that are absent in temples built in China or Japan. This makes your design uniquely Korean, and I appreciate that.

[@polrua]

This is a really lovely project. The sense of movement in the dragon model and the water ripples is a wonderful contrast to the stillness of the woman and the rest of the scene. It really tells a story. A lot of your builds have strong story elements, but this one feels more strongly thematic... as though there's a lot more going on under the surface (if you will) beyond the visible scene.

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Definitely bring an extra suitcase to Japan. I haven’t spent too much time in their hobby stores but from what I’ve seen you’ll definitely need that suitcase! A wonderful diorama BTW!

[@earlware4322]

From what I have seen of Japan's hobby stores, if I ever go there I will be bringing at least two suitcases and just wear the same clothes for my stay there. 😁 If it comes down to having clean clothes or more models...models will win every dang time. 😊

[@jacobhesse981]

This is probably one of my favorite builds you have done! Love it when you mix terrain, structures, people, and monsters!

[@Shugo5775]

Your pronunciation of Korean words and locations is spot on! Glad you enjoyed your time and found some kits while you stayed here!

[@wallabaatar]

Can’t even express how much I love the look of this build! And so thankful you continue to make things that matter to you! Beautiful!

[@mistac5050]

What a beautiful build and a great way to memorialize your trip to Korea. Thanks for sharing, it looks like you had a nice time.

[@ShotofDespresso]

I lived in Korea for three years as a kid. To say this makes me miss my time there would be an understatement. Lovely work!

[@dylantomlinson218]

I love it!!! one thing I love most is how you keep the try to keep it authentic to Korea (such as the houses) love your videos they always are something I look forward to

[@aarons.]

YES! LOVE lake monsters! Was hoping for a Loch Ness w/a plesiosaur sneaking-up on a fisherman or something, but this is extremely awesome!

[@redwitch12]

I want a Nessie peeking over the shoulder of a researcher studying a book titled something like "The Loch Ness Monster Doesn't Exist". For humor :D

[@Rogn1]

Beautiful! I spent almost a year in Okinawa in 1981-1982 and very much remember beautiful buildings like these while visiting the different areas of the island. Your diorama videos are the highlight of my Sunday mornings. Thank you for sharing your visions and your talents. Be Safe and Be Blessed.

[@shouheishun2239]

Okinawa is Japan. These structures are uniquely Korean

[@annbrookens945]

I would guess that these structures happily reminded him of his experiences 40 years ago in Japan even though they are from a different country.

[@Rogn1]

@@shouheishun2239 yes… I know this and I just knew that someone like you was going to point it out. Okinawa and Korea each have beautiful artistry in their architecture history, and I was recognizing that fact. But no, you just had to point out the obvious. Well done.

[@Rogn1]

@@annbrookens945 thank you for your comment.

[@WM-dg6kp]

I'm korean and always thought those kits are only for the kids. But you make me change my mind. Thanks for the awesome work!

[@TacKnight]

I have been watching you for a while now and I can tell the difference in your voice overs and how you have grown in confidence and the jokes. You who got me in on hobbying and I'm glad I can see your channel grow.

[@wolfform]

If you steal North of the Border's realistic rock texture secret by using real rocks, I promise to not tell Adam XD This is an amazing sculpt, I envy your confidence and bravery in all of these projects. I can only hope to achieve such skills one day. Stay brave, good sir! ( Seriously, I won't tell Adam! )

[@onionwateroriginal]

Watching your videos is always so calming and interesting. You also always add a unique story in some way and it really improves the experience. I hope you have a great day!

[@Nathanm7977]

Glad you had a safe trip. I have to say that this is a great one. Between you, T nu, Bill, just say that yall come up with some of the best build videos with story to put us in your mindset for what you are doing. Truly gifted

[@HolyCowCreates]

Yessss, another Boylei video!! You are one of my top three favorite KZbinrs who I study to learn how I should make my videos! Another banger of a video, keep it up man! ❤

[@mrragge7986]

Can your next diorama be a small fishing boat about to be eaten from underneath by a giant monster?

[@LishyCards]

Boylei coming out with the bangers. Keep it up my man

[@2CraftySeniors]

I love this diorama. It was really interesting to watch as it came together... and then at the end, it made me smile. The "elder" person speaking with the "elder" dragon... passing knowledge to each other or just enjoying the company. Either way it is beautiful. 😇🥰

[@maxwray7882]

Such a calming channel to watch. Love your builds!

[@GuamBaybe97]

Amazing! I love how well the lady fits into the diorama! Overall looks incredible!

[@opheliafinch4887]

i think this might be favourite diorama of yours yet, it's absolutely beautiful!

[@KutWrite]

To me, each one is better than the last.

[@halfcrafted]

Beautiful work! A lovely idea to get a model from a place you've visited to make it into a physical memory of your trip.

[@PestiMash]

wow that WATER!! just lost all words. this combo looks amazing

[@piperatthegatesofdawn]

I love that she's talking to the dragon, this is my favorite build of yours!!

[@tachi98lep]

Excellent Asian-themed diorama! This was entertaining and an excellent motivator for model makers!

[@samanthadean1083]

This is like the legend of Shim Chung!!! Awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@loh7085]

absolutely love your content, narration/humor. the references back to your experience in south korea were a great addition

[@leviathanu099]

This was a great diorama as always. I really like Eastern designs so im glad you did something like this. Get well soon as it sounds like youre a little under the weather.

[@scarlettredwater6014]

I got sick yesterday with a bad cold and I came here because your videos always calm me down and make me feel better!

[@shaynecarey915]

I wish I was this good at anything. I would buy any of these in a heartbeat they are all done beautifully. so satisfying to see the end product each time!

[@wAwCreator]

Excellent! I didn't expect such a beautiful product from two kits found in Korea. The scene of ancient lakeside houses with scary creatures is truly impressive.

[@JakeIsBetter5535]

I SEE BOYLEI, I CLICK! MONKE NEURONS ACTIVATE

[@annbrookens945]

I love the Korean architectural models you picked up and I think that's the prettiest dragon I've seen! I DEFINITELY look forward to your upcoming (someday!) trip to Japan and seeing what model kits you manage to bring home!

[@DJMarcO138]

Excellent video as always - love how the dragon turned out!!! Your subtle quips were on point this episode too - they did not go unnoticed.

[@demoths]

I'm a simple man, I see boylei post, I watch, I like.

[@goalstad11]

Best diorama video I have ever seen. You have perfected the experience.

[@heistmoney7923]

This is probably the best resin you have done! Great job! I can see bubbles half way up, but it makes it look like there's stuff living down there like algae and other stuff that produce air bubbles because of how dark/murky the water looks!

[@user-xo5du9fb4c]

this is art, a master piece. This is perfection.

[@charelwagner8382]

I love your Wild Imaginary West series and all the other cool stuff you do❤❤❤

[@signoguns8501]

I love the words used in these videos. Like "apoxy resin" and "Isopropol alcohol" Love the sound of them

[@oddsparten13]

This is one of my favorite builds that you have done! Nice work!

[@lokins253]

your videos are beyond perfect, and there's something about them that makes it relaxing to watch

[@ericrawlins8444]

Cool scenario! I really like all the wry humour you add, I watch a ton of these diorama-creation videos, and yours are the only ones that make me laugh, let alone multiple times per video.

[@toodlesX14]

Such a beautiful diorama, it's definitely one of my favorites you've made so far. I love a peaceful monster encounter.

[@jaymiller6803]

I watch this while on break, working at a State Park on a lake. Nice.

[@EnteriiGame]

8:40 it is kind cute when he says that he is inpatient why talking in the world's calmest and most patient voice

[@tipchaser1341]

Thank you I now have 1 place on my bucket list that I want to visit.

[@felixbelanger2659]

I think that's possibly your best one yet! And look how good that pour came out, great job

[@garzilla7123]

That was absolutely beautiful, one of your best so far. This was well worth the 2-week wait to see it, absolutely amazing.

[@davidf2281]

Absolutely nailed the murkiness of the water to create the real feel of the two worlds.

[@scaleffect]

The rubber roof material is an interesting bit of solutioning. Great execution by the manufacturer.

[@andreweverett]

these videos recently have really been giving Casually Explained and I love it

[@masterchiefe117]

What a great build! Just like the one from Tibet, the build that have some backstory or real life inspiration are great. Keep it up! And God bless

[@Magikarp_king]

Resin is a fickle mistress and I love it because for every 3 fails and 2 ok pours I get one absolutely stunning and mind blowing pour that just makes me fall in love with resin all over again.

[@DaLi96]

Thats honestly amazing, love the fantasy type stuff

[@straswa]

More masterful work from the Master himself. Amazing diorama Boylei.

[@megamike420]

Amazing work and i'm glad I watched this, It is downright beautiful

[@katmom49]

He looks mad, but she is sweetly serene! Very nice!

[@ajschwartz3924]

This came out so good! The water came out great too

[@darkerpink3403]

has anyone ever told you you sound like a much chiller middle aged version of tuffnut from how to train your dragon? i mean this in the most complimentary way possible. i like it

[@sgauden02]

ONE WORD: PERFECT!

[@timberry4709]

Excellent work! 11:30 - - The finished diorama, with the woman talking to the lake dragon, gives me a "Lake Placid" vibe for some reason. 😁

[@colinroman_]

i think this is one of my favorites that you've done. beautiful and very pleasing to the eye, it's not simple but there isn't a million things going on. fantastic work!

[@user-op6ek7fs4n]

I think thats the best you ever did, well done!

[@1x1.studio]

Another cool piece! I love that u keep going and adding til it works for you. Great metaphor for life too! Thank you for that reminder!

[@carolynbroughtonmusic]

It's at the very end when you see the finished piece of art that the true magic happens - not a single detail to pull you out of the scene, the perfection transports you all the way inside. I got chills. Amazing work.

[@karengilchrist9774]

That is a wonderful scene. Very peaceful looking.

[@thomaslally2242]

I like to think this is during the same time as the Wild West series, just on the other side of the world. Cool to show different relationships with the monsters across the world

[@modelermark172]

Welcome back, Boylei! I missed you last Sunday. I hope you're feeling much better! I see that you are using the kits you showed us in your last posting that at first I thought were reference books. They look very fun (and different) to build, and as always, you did an excellent job with your diorama's composition and construction! I hope it was as relaxing to build as it is to look at. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@epiclolman57]

This is by far one of my favorite Dioramas I've ever seen. Just absolutely gorgeous and awe inspiring.

[@bollinjosiah6243]

I love the Monster theme but I would also like a nice calm theme

[@DizzyBee]

I don't think I'll ever get over how amazing your dioramas are. Every time I see you've posted a new video I light up a little knowing that I can relax and just enjoy your beautiful art and videography. I can never get enough of the entire process. :)

[@Gen_Kael]

I gotta say, this is one of your best works

[@user-xs4ij8ou8x]

Huge fan from Korea! Great work and keep it going

[@gnollman]

Dungeons and Lasers makes some great stuff. I've never seen that rubber roofing before, I'm already a big fan of that for laser-cut MDF buildings, I'd love to see that in more kits.

[@VimVinyl]

The water looks so damn good, murkiness is perfect

[@robertnorton8519]

Brilliant job as always

[@Littlestraincloud]

Really soothing diorama this time, I love that you're branching out

Oh, I've never noticed you had been to korea before! I hope you had good time here with your wife. Big fan of yours since the almost beginning!

Absolutely stunning! One of my favorites. Please include more dragons in future projects! 🐉

[@comusrules1244]

How can you say you have no patience! The amount of detail you put into your projects is far from an impatient person/artist. 😊

[@scribbleknit]

Another lovely piece of work! Thanks so much for sharing with us.

[@animeator]

I like to imagine in this diorama, that the dragon is excitedly telling his human daughter about an adventure at sea

[@peterjozsef448]

This might just be one of your best works

[@ToddMakesModels]

Beautiful work, that is a big resin pour and it came out fantastic. The lichen also looks great as leaves
