Anaconda in Resin | Riverboat Epoxy Diorama

[@bryal7811]

I want that captain to be a reoccurring character who drinks his way into danger but through dumb luck, always survives for the next diorama!

[@nairbvel]

There's a stop motion animation channel I watch (legoanimations6370) with a recurring character like that who add s a sort of "oh no, what's he do *this* time vibe to each video... but the Wild Imaginary West has such a great backstory and canon, I don't know if it's necessary!

[@Tharus12]

Or a really good first mate who's always got his Captain's back.

Basically Captain Haddock from Tin Tin

That just goes to show how hi his quality is

I’m one of those people - there’s no reason not to. Boylei’s just so reliably lovely that I know I’m going to love (and rewatch) his videos before I’ve even really gotten into them

I live in Thailand and the other day saw a 15 foot Reticulated Python swimming near a boat used to take tourists on short river trips. That was enough to really scare me, but your snake takes it to another level! I love this so much! Great build Boylei!

I’m watching this video at the airport coming home from Thailand!

Snakes are so cool

[@artsyscrub3226]

if you see the snake then that's a good thing means you aren't a target (Not that ypu wpuld be anyways its incredibly rare for a snake to eat a human in fact its never been recorded in history there's just some rumors of it, at most they kill people later on not in the moment

[@crimetimeproductions6340]

I feel like one of the most underrated aspects of these videos is the sound design and lighting of the final product. The subtle crickets in the background and the one directional lighting simulating moonlight does a lot to set the tone and atmosphere for the diorama. It's just a beautiful detail that I feel like gets overlooked

[@missjddrage1111]

I hope it's not overlooked. It's the best part of the video.. the slow zoom, the little music and lighting is key. It's tremendous care to detail and, you're right, does deserve recognition.

[@CheapCheerful]

Yep, the music is wonderful. And of course the lighting as you say.

[@BuckHudz]

The wild imaginary west has to be one of the coolest and most creative fictional worlds I've ever seen! I can just imagine a open world adventure or strategy type settlement building game. Or even a novel or comic! Would be so cool to have an in-depth lore written about the WIW. Seeing Boylei's new vids always make my day 🤠

[@JD_16939]

I'd play the hell out of a TTRPG set in the Wild Imaginary West.

[@katrinagray855]

I watch all his videos because as a dungeon master I love all his pieces and want to use them for game nights😅😅😅😅😅

[@createdmanpainting]

I am currently coming up with a DnD campaign set in the Wild Imaginary West. It's gonna be awesome. 🤩

[@blackwolf249]

@@createdmanpainting I hope to see a video about it.

[@abelboronkai448]

imagine the main character coming from the steam area where electronics are banned. Would be a cool story how they learn to accept and use it to defend themselfs

[@aGoshDarnTravesty]

I really like how you've started incorporating the electrical switches into the build to disguise them. It may be worth trying out different switch types depending on the disguise, where buttons or knobs would be easier to hide.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

I very much agree, I love the hidden switches, it's so much better than an obvious switch sticking out of the base, background, etc. And yes, it's worth looking into different types of switch - there are some low profile push button switches for example which may be more suitable in some cases.

[@MetalGearAusInd]

“After hiding the switch under a barrel, it was time to move on” does not do justice to the creativity of incorporating the switch in such a fun and intelligent way. Nor the effort in building the little barrel is such a way that the switch works perfectly. Your work is amazing because of little touches like this.

[@plutoisaplanet19]

"i used whatever method this is" is such a mood. Great plastic+paint+clay+resin mixed media piece as usual!!

[@encouragingthings]

Looks amazing! It's great to hear a little more lore about the places that aren't covered in dangerous beasts all the time. It's interesting that we sometimes forget how "crunched" time is and how many famous and influential people who are responsible for today's technology and culture were jammed right up against a chunk of continent that was still "Wild and untamed" even in the real world. Great work!

[@pubertjones8093]

I love how you build these dioramas, not only physically, but within the minds of your viewers with the stories you tell. Beautiful build, can't wait to see more.

[@ZackHuff-ve8sn]

I have only discovered this channel a month ago and I am hooked!! Everything that Boylei creates is amazing and inspiring! I especially love the Wild Imaginary West! I cannot wait to see more of those in the future!! I don't know how often Boylei reads the comments but I would love to see more imaginary wild west stuff, like a Texas longhorn minotaur creature in the midst of a cattle drive or something. Just an idea. Love this channel!!

[@fully0p]

Plot twist: The anaconda is friendly and is just making sure the drunken captain doesn't fall overboard and drowns

[@BlueBeetle1939]

Id be really interested to hear more about imaginary new orleans it still holds onto that old timey charm even in our modern day so id love to see how we adapted to giant monsters and mech wagons!

[@Stonedogg1]

Would really like to see a playlist of all the music you use for your Wild Imaginary West dioramas!

[@mw8392]

I don't know which I love more, the soft glow through the windows or that wonderful duckweed painting technique. ❤❤❤ But I think the best part, aside from the builds themselves, is the stories you give the people.

[@plixplop]

Love how simple and effective the duckweed technique is

[@mistac5050]

Really cool build, love the hidden switch in the barrel!

[@zaykalayka1796]

Outro song at the end is called 'Go on Blues' by Bo the Drifter. Awesome build as always. God I love this series.

THANK YOU. Was looking all over trying to find

Thanks!

[@modelermark172]

This is a great diorama that tells a simple, self-explanatory story that still takes the viewer a second or two to realize just what's going on. (I hope that snake doesn't get alcohol poisoning . . . .) As a sidebar, I have seen this kit at my local hobby shop, but hesitated to get it, not sure what it was like. I'll definitely be adding this to my list, now! 500th like.

[@danwest3825]

I love this series on the Wild Imaginary West and how you keep adding to the lore and world-building. As someone else suggested, turning this into a graphic novel would be awesome!

[@MorganRambo723]

This one’s my favorite. I loved this movie as a kid.

[@aestinoct]

I love this fantasy west series more than anything else you do. The creativity, ingenuity, and quality visual storytelling are so appealing. I will say with this one build, I feel like some weathering and grime on the windows would have lent a bit more to the aesthetic but otherwise it's absolutely perfect

[@mikea556]

Here for the lightsaber snow globe video… this is my favourite of your older videos and the first one I saw that got me hooked on your channel!

[@gunnarwilliams3202]

I’m from Mobile so really cool you mentioned it haven’t lived there in years I miss it sometimes

[@DanteYewToob]

One cool effect that could add a lot of life and detail for very little work would be some paper cutouts to cast various shadows from the inside… like other crew members talking, or random papers/maps hung in the window, or even just some curtains that are partially open. Just so the windows don’t feel so blank and uniform. This is incredible and better than anything I could do, so I’m not complaining. Just offering tips that I’d use because I rely on small tricks to add more detail and life where I can since I’m not as skilled at painting and stuff. Like when I sculpt eyes i always stab a hole for the pupil and make the iris part a shallow “bowl” so that when the eye is painted and filled with uv resin, it looks way more realistic even with my crappy paint job.. if I could paint well it would look super realistic! The pupil looks actually black like a hole because it actually is and the depth of the iris sells the illusion better at angles other than straight on, because that’s how real eyes are shaped. Very small details that are super easy to implement that add a ton of extra “value” is how I like to work. Poking a hole or adding a little cardboard cutout takes an additional 5 seconds but gives way more detail value.

[@dean_4.6]

I always find myself listening to the stories as you build, but I don't watch the building processes, once I see the final results, I always rewarch to see you build, and hear the story again! Great work!

[@Dysiode]

The return of Stuart Semple's Black! A whole new version even! That's almost as exciting as the diorama itself! The paint job on the riverboat is incredible

[@kross517]

The details in the smallest pieces is really incredible. Such dedication and mastery! 10/10

[@Tellemicus]

You really need to make this whole 'alternate world' you're making into an ACTUAL book series! I'd definitely read it!

I've built that riverboat about four times over the years. In its current iteration I extended the hull for better flotation, added better bollards and cleats and a wooden deck. It still needs very calm water, but it doesn't sink the way previous iterations did! Chugs along very nicely.
