Beautiful Hot Spring Epoxy Resin Art

[@zoellaanne9101]

I would love to see some more variety in coat colours for the horses in future builds! They’re almost always bay and I feel it would be fun to have a pop of something else eventually

[@KnightlyWizard]

I agree!

[@jimroberts3009]

I agree. I love the builds a lot but wish he would use more brighter colours for the animals and people figures, sometimes. I feel that he uses too much of the Autumn colours like browns, yellows and ochres, etc.

[@sprucehouse9]

Me too! And it can be done - I recently painted some of the horses from the IMEX Sioux Indians set, a Buckskin and an Appaloosa. They came out great and added a really cool touch to the scene. There are some good horse coat color charts online.

[@dapperdanny2957]

How about you guys do some horses and send them ,that way you guys can see them in future builds.

[@OnlyAnairaGirl]

Those colours are the hardest for monsters to spot, so people try to only have bay horses and drab colours. Maybe. I just made that up. Lol

[@The_Cranky_Painter]

I recently found your channel after stumbling across North of the Border, and I've been glued to it ever since. As a hobby painter of middling skill, your tricks and techniques have been incredibly helpful. Thanks for what you do! The Wild Imaginary West is awesome, and tremendously encouraging as I work on a setting of my own!

This is basically the same way that I found this channel! Only for me it was much less recently.

[@adamlichtenberger5277]

[@beebitbit3080]

what makes it even more terrifying is that this thing comes up for air, so it does need to breath It *chooses* to live in these pools.

[@4ae109]

there are mammals that live in the water and have to come up for air

[@beebitbit3080]

@@4ae109 none of them have hands

[@Lovelessh3art]

​@gfries4906 they also don't *leave* the water, nor do they live in acidic and near boiling temperatures. Yes, whales and dolphins breathe air at the surface, but they're ocean borne and restricted creatures. This thing is actively choosing harsh environments to live in when it *could* choose to live elsewhere.

[@endersquid1132]

I mean it could be a walrus type creature that can spend extensive periods out of water but is still built to survive in water, who knows if this thing has legs maybe it just flops from pool to pool lol

Your Wild Imaginary West series has become one of my favorite modeling series to watch, each time I see one I stop what I'm doing to watch

[@vanessarider5708]

When you said no animal can survive in the hot springs, I immediately thought of flamingos. Can’t find anything on them interacting with Yellowstone specifically, but they can drink boiling water and chill in water so acidic and salty it would melt your skin. Terrifying!

[@MacMeaties]

Exactly! Flamingos for most people are just silly pink stilt birds but they are actually goddamn flying fallout ghouls.

[@WilliamG09]

Well they are 400f though

[@Tidalyze]

You should do a model of two gangs fighting eachother, each with their own tamed hulking beast!

[@IronTiger58]

That’s a really good idea

[@NickG6623]

I’ve read about 12 books now about early American mountain men and their adventures, hunting and trapping through the Rocky Mountains. All of there tails about first stumbling along Yellowstone and the natural wonders there are amazing. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. And no one back east believed them, when they described the geysers.

[@travispratt1857]

This video is my 13 old son's favorite of all the ones that we have watched.

[@cafefoxx]

I still absolutely love how the paint job on this turned out alongside the gradient color of the resin showing the depth. Everything came together so nicely.

[@Aikurisu]

Ha, gotta love it when those happy little mistakes end up good for the final result. Love the colours, too!

As someone who has been watching your videos for a long time now, it is really astonishing to watch your progress during the years. This diorama is stunning and I’m so proud of you for finding your groove with the resin. Great job!

[@wyatthill2802]

How time passes, I remember the last Yellowstone model, I didn't realize it was YEARS! ago lol, very good job boyli

[@ClarkeDesign]

Would love to see you do another video about airbrushing your minis. Hints, tips, techniques about how you go about getting them so realistic.

[@natewoodford]

gosh YES i need this series back ... wild west creature stuff and mythology >>>>>>>>>>

[@8pumpchai]

I'm so glad you practice safety while you create your masterpieces... I'm always so worried for those who don't.

[@modelermark172]

Well done, Boylei! Even if you omitted the monster, this hot springs diorama would be a winner! That said, the monster is the only sign that this diorama is part of your Wild Imaginary West, and not a depiction of an actual, historical scene. (Maybe if your miners had a Forestall on one of their mules . . . ?) Regardless, this deep-pour resin scene is incredible, and I'm looking forward to more of your Sunday Morning videos! Thanks for sharing your imagination and techniques with us! 158th Like.

[@thisguyhere44]

I'm a huge fan of Yellowstone and love visiting these boiling hot and extremely acidic waters of the park's hot springs when we're able to make the trip. I often remember that first video you did and was happy to see you revisit another one. Love the videos and your work!

[@carrie4910]

The hot spring (and sneaky creature) looks AMAZING 🤩 You’ve done a phenomenal job recreating the hot spring!

[@PKTCrafts]

Looks beautiful man! I’m glad you used veneer. I was like «nooo» when the xps showed through.

[@LaleiraGranite]

I love these spooky and atmospheric builds.

[@Kaleb-uc3el]

I just now got the notification of this video because I have been in Yellowstone all day, neat timing

[@ikeduley6361]

3:13 I found it quite funny that you mentioned we were thinking “no animal can survive in the hot spring pool” like you did because at that moment I was in fact thinking “man that monster has to be so tough and wicked to live in a place like that” pretty much just before you made a comment about it lol

[@TophSinex]

Been a watcher for a while, and wanted to thank you for your hard work and creativity. I love the Imaginary Wild West set, but I'd like to ask if you've considered doing any more Biblical dioramas? I know you've done at least one in the past for the channel but I always loved artistic expressions of faith and personally I'd love to see more of it. Your diorama videos are always a delight either way and help brighten my day, and thank you again.

[@Will_Lesher]

This was a particularly good diorama. I love the resin ones.

[@kyr_taap]

Your art should definately be shown in a museum 😮

[@Trashbash_Creations]

Outstanding as usual! Your "wild Imaginary West" concept is just brilliant!

[@pinetreerebellion]

I’m not sure if you’ve been to/heard of the Superstition Mountains in AZ. Legend has it that there’s buried “lost Dutchman’s” gold somewhere in the mountains. There’s also a natural phenomenon where the sun casts a shadow on the rocks that looks like a giant cougar. A diorama with treasure hunters coming face to face with what is in fact an actual giant cougar seems like a perfect addition to the W.I.W!!

[@darrylhilbig6459]

Subtle as always. Especially with the horror elements.

I love that this channel has blown up in such a small amount of time (comparatively) and is getting so much love. Even more, I appreciate the time you put into it all, doing something I definitely can not do but tune in immediately to see.

[@jovishark]

another hot spring cutaway yessss! yes! your first hotspring video was the first one i ever saw of yours. i was really pulled in by the soft voiceover and the respect you have for nature. i havent been to yellowstone in a few years but i think you capture its colors and its gestures so well.

[@benjaminspannagel4327]

That resin pour was top notch!

[@billyspringbok]

Gorgeous! And I love the subtlety of the hand in the darkness 😊 I might have commented this on the last Yellowstone video, but these deep pools really remind me of my local folklore (Sussex, England). We have a water dragon called the Knucker which lived in knuckerholes. These are smallish, very deep ponds that are supposedly bottomless.

[@Straswa]

Masterful work Boylei! Love your resin productions.

Amazing work Caleb. The hint about tinitng the hardner then mixing with the main resin later is excellent. LED's that only switch on when motion is detected in front of the diorama would have been epic. :)

I also took a road trip that had us visiting Yellowstone last year, and you've really done an amazing job. I haven't seen either of the ones you've created so far in person, but based on the hot springs I saw I can say they are incredibly well done and really look like a proper hot spring!

[@lionessoftor4139]

Yo, Boylei! Apparently local folklore holds that dragons live in Yellowstone. Maybe you could make a Yellowstone dragon diorama, or even have the mystery creature be one of these dragons if you wish

[@snsnplpl]

what better place for a dragon to incubate it's eggs than in a hot pool? The dragon should not look like a european or chinese dragon, but more of a cross between a grizzly bear, porcupine and eagle.

[@KirkHampton-zu9zk]

Great work Jack

[@majstks3333]

some of the best content on youtube!

[@funwithmadness]

I think it might have been me that suggested adding the pigment to half of the resin in a large batch to keep the colors consistent. I know I've suggested to people in the past. If it wasn't me, I'll still take credit. ;) That, by the way, is an amazing resin pour! Very hard to do something that large with no bubbles, boiling (yes, folks, this stuff boils when poured too thick), or noticeable pour lines.

[@Leescreativeart]

Sheesh. Imagine hanging at that pool and whatever that creature is sort of jumps out and grabs your buddy or worse yet, you! The heat and shock would be terrible and if you are still conscious the dragging down through boiling salty water as your flesh boils… ugh…. Just a terrible mess. And this is really gorgeous too! Very pretty piece. 😅🎉🎉❤❤

[@danzoo6711]

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

Another great build.

[@TheFinalFailSafe]

Something that might be fun to do, in your next diorama with a more forest/nature theme it'd be cool to see some "forest critters" with your Wild Imaginary West twist. Animals that aren't too dangerous and probably would be more common the further East.

[@mikeseba7817]

Another piece of art!

[@Kaimad3it]

Wonderful as always. Cowboy themed horror is such a cool genre It would be cool to see an Oregon trail themed diorama, maybe with a zombie twist due to the infamous tale of the cannibalism that took place in snowy mountains.

[@abeldigiorno4836]

[@IstasPumaNevada]

The layer between pours visible beneath the surface in the spring reminds me of those haloclines you can sometimes see in flooded caverns near the sea. I imagine there'd be too much mixing in a hot spring for something like that to form but it's still at least semi-realistic. :)
