I Made an EPIC Dragon Attack Diorama

[@ChickensTabletopCrafting]

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you on this great project. That was a lot of fun and an honor. Greetings Chicken

[@python2198]

The tavern looks amazing!

[@mistac5050]

Love your tavern, what a beautiful build!

[@wallabaatar]

Just finished watching your tavern video. Excellent craftsmanship and painting! Love the collaboration!

[@ChickensTabletopCrafting]

​@@python2198thanks a lot

[@ChickensTabletopCrafting]

​@@mistac5050thank you

[@Leonagraphy]

The idea to turn the switch into a fencepost was brilliant. It feels almost like those secret levers in old mansions.

[@KeysoftheLord]

And when flipped back it looks like it broke during the attack (or its just old and falling apart).

[@isaknilsson71]

Would have loved it even more flipped around such that the light is off when the post is askew. Then, an unknowing person trying to ”fix” it back in place could be surprised by the fire lighting up XD

[@Heroasteral]

It was the best thing I have seen all week! And I've seen soe pretty neat things!

[@thatotherguy7596]

I would suggest dropping the rails down at the switch end of the fence so it doesn't look like they're floating when it's switched on. Excellent piece of art regardless 👍

[@darrelld.paveyjr.1477]

Yes Sir Same Here!!! Just like the Abbott & Costello's or Vincent Price's horror movies.

[@MCMXCI42]

The dragon being kept aloft by his own flames might be the single most impressive effect you've created yet, and the fence-post switch is so clever I almost can't believe it! Incredible stuff!

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

Not to mention that this is, by far and away, his best flame effect implementation yet.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

And to add to that, the effect still looks nearly as great when the LED filaments are switched off, such is the high quality of the painting on the smoke.

[@AlexDiesTrying]

It's a very cool trick indeed.

[@modelermark172]

The way you suspended the 'flying' dragon AND the clever way you hid the light switch is nothing short of inspired! Your diorama really does Chickens Tabletop Crafting Tavern justice! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@corbindoesthings1795]

we need more fantasy/medieval dioramas

[@wallabaatar]

“This dragon hates merriment”. Well, then this dragon hates how I feel every time I watch a Boylei video! This collaboration is incredibly cool, and the dragon fire is straight up 🔥! Love this!!!

[@mistac5050]

With as epic as this build is, the thing that I enjoyed the most was watching you turn on the lights at the end by gently moving the fence post. Could this be the beginning of "Crazy Imaginary Medieval Town"?!?! A man can dream.

[@setoace]

Others may thing I'm exaggerating, but I'm always left speechless seeing the end-result of your diorama... Amazing as always and so satisfying to watch.

[@morganw.4711]

Using the fire to hold the dragon up reminds me of those “magic” water faucets that look like they’re pouring water with no plumbing. Elegantly done as always. Gotta admire the little motley crew defending their favorite watering hole. A good inn is worth its weight in gold.

[@carrie4910]

Freaking awesome. Very clever way to make the dragon look like it’s airborne. Great collaboration build!

[@Blibers]

This feels like one of my older brother's artworks, his style is so cozy and fills me with nostalgia. Absolutely Wonderful!

[@WeltenbauerClub]

Great build. Love the Story it is telling. And great collaboration. It does not look like 2 people worked on the diorama ❤

[@jasonshiers5771]

It isn't Sunday till this man uploads

[@upbgenoob5488]

Amazing job!Especially when you throw that switch on....Oh my....!

[@wcox4]

Your work and ideas are out of this world. I'd love to see you do a diorama of the 1953 War of the Worlds Martian tripods and attack scene.

[@SereneJoy42]

That dragon model has a special place in my heart! When I told my husband I wanted to get into painting minis with him (he was already interested in this stuff, and I showed him your videos. Turns out he was already a fan of yours!), he got that for the both of us to paint together. It took two years to find the color scheme that we both liked (my mind kept changing what colors I thought looked good) but we finally settled with a black dragon, with the wings and frills being this cool color-changing pigment of blue and purple. That dragon is on our shelf now, with our diorama projects. Thank you for all the lovely videos! Without them, I wouldn't have told my husband that I wanted to share in his hobbies in the first place.

[@karengilchrist9774]

Fabulous diorama! The whole thing is so great! Love the way the Fire breaks on the heroe's shield, love the dragon suspended in the air, love the little thief! And, the Tavern is amazing!

[@TheBiomedZed]

This might just be one of my favourite pieces you've ever made!

[@RoadWarrior_John]

Wow, those flames turned out amazing, just a great all round diorama.

[@StewartFletcher]

Straight up, your fire effects might be the most impressive part of your already thoroughly impressive channel

[@jadedbailey]

The diorama is amazing, but the dragon's fire breath was top notch!

[@samueljohnston9639]

Probably one of the best dioramas I’ve ever watched be made on KZbin, I absolutely love this one

[@chasonlapointe]

Fantastic work, you really did Chicken's amazing Tavern build justice!

[@archiepops]

This is fantastic! What I really like is how you just don't build, but tell a story during the Diorama build and add comedy too! One of the best channels on KZbin by far!

[@harryhamilton298]

This has to be the most "realistic" fire breathing dragon diorama I have seen on KZbin. Congrats!

[@SuperChevy187]

My 5yr old son and I watch a video of urs every night before he goes to bed. He loves watching you work and hearing the stories you tell. Every time we go to the hobby store and see figures like the ones you paint he asks me if it is one you did!! Excellent work sir and thank you for making these memories for me.

[@Cleo_101]

I could watch you build these awesome dioramas for hours! ❤ I feel like a few scattering sheep or a couple of pine trees would fit the background nicely🤔

[@Phanterinos]

And when i think you can't "elevate" the level of your creations more than you did already. BAM! You deliver. Love dragons and medieval fantasy dioramas. Amazing

[@SturleyArt]

That was sick. Another amazing Diorama my friend.

[@erintoal2018]

I could listen to this guy's voice narrate a Dungeons and Dragons campaign all evening. Its so relaxing to listen to instructions and story.😊

[@sugarsammy7209]

Bro picked the wrong tavern to mess with. Also love dioramas that tell multiple stories at once, the guy sneaking out the back with stuff is a good little story that we could see happening in a crisis

[@davestinyworkshopotherprojects]

great work to both you and to @ChickensTabletopCrafting!

[@ChickensTabletopCrafting]

Thank you so much

[@coulsonharris2059]

So awesome! You should definitely team up with a stop motion animator and all these fantasies to life!

[@xrodr2]

This absolutely RULES! the switch being part of the scenery is huge! Not to mention how dope the fire looks. And the dragon. And the tavern. And the landscape.

[@Misha..K]

The levitating dragon looks magical 💜

[@A_Final_Hit]

That looks nothing short of incredible. Hiding the support rod within the dragon's flame is a stroke of genius! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@zachariahtri]

One of the most glorious scenes you have ever made! Love it!

[@ApertaVulnus]

Enjoying the way your sense of humor has been coming out. If you don't do this for a living, it's a darn shame.

[@HoverMelon2000]

Idea I had: What if this diorama is in the same universe as the wild imaginary west but it just takes place in Europe much, much earlier?

[@TheKnottedBranch]

Impressive.

[@wAwCreator]

Form is temporary, but class is permanent 🎉

[@CF_Joel]

The most epic nightlight ever!!!

[@bottlecaps2741]

Another fantastic piece. I was wondering if in your imaginary west. are there giant worms similar to the Graboids from Tremors or the sandworms from Dune? Would be interesting to see a diorama like that.

[@elliotdingus]

Incorporating the switch into the scene as a fence post was dead clever! Definitely my favourite to date 😁

[@antoniogiliardi5057]

Ótimo trabalho! Curto muitos seus vídeos,um abraço aqui do Brasil!❤

[@Ryiah87]

Absolutely incredible. You did that tavern an honor

[@Frozenkoldfury]

As someone who plays too much D&D, a green coloured white dragon with a red dragons breath attack is... cursed. Saying that, this diorama is absolutely smashing!

[@JackBarlowStudios]

It’s a hybrid. Dragons notoriously get around; where do you think all those sorcerers come from?

[@dakotahoker1922]

There's I comment I knew I would see.

[@josephupchurch7138]

I like to think this takes place in the same timeline as WIW, but in the Medieval era of that world. Well done, sir 👏

[@Musapro786]

Where do u get ur figurines from?

[@Blitz9H]

I thoroughly appreciate how you expand our knowledge of the craftsmanship, and expand our base of knowledge by including others in the hobby. Inspiration, knowledge, and merriment!

[@toddguenther1568]

Dang, I love watching this one - taverns, dragons, complimentary scrolls, hidden toggle - what more could you ask for? Nice job!

[@Michel-7.7.7]

This is beyond awesome. The flame breath looks amazing

[@johngraham8865]

I think that's the most realistic fire you've ever done. Amazing work. That would be displayed at the head of my collection.

[@mrgizmo182]

Probably my favourite of all the dioramas you’ve made. The fire spewing out is absolutely gorgeous and genius at the same time!

[@renzesparza6281]

Hiding the light switch in plain sight and using it as part of the scene is something ive truly not seen before in a diorama and i watch a lot of these. Awesome work. The fire looks great as well, the black turned out perfect

[@olezha8269]

This is INSANE!! It's so beautiful!! Just wow!

[@markc.7984]

THANK YOU for everything you do, and for setting the tavern diagonally to the base.

[@boutinboy]

Fantastic job. Such a cool build. The hidden fence post switch was genius. One step further would have been to make the two horizontal fence planks that connect to the switch post movable. Pivotable? Is that a word? lol My thinking is when the switch is upright, the horizontal planks remain how they are in the build. But when the switch is on, and the post is angled, the horizontal planks can be made to rest on the ground as if they actually fell off on that end, due to the post being ajar. If that makes sense. Either way, beautiful work as always!

[@Liamrups]

Definitly my favourite one youve done to date. Its so simple (aside from the wiring) but so cool at the same time and really captures the magical essence of the scene

[@Equinox051256]

Very impressive. The artwork is off the charts. Great job!

[@professor4477]

True

[@EveryGoddessALetDown]

One of your best creations yet! And the fence post lever was just genius.

[@garybuettner7920]

Love the way the dragon is supported. Fence post switch is awesome too.

[@onkelgroen]

Beautiful diorama! I really love the realistic groundwork you do, with shades and flocking.

[@ifga16]

Every new diorama is better than the last. The dragon fire reminds me of the blast from a 16" naval gun. The colors are very accurate.

[@thomasblouch352]

Wow!!! Outstanding and many more words to describe your work.

[@wanton-strumpet]

this is so incredible love the fire breath felting idea

[@TheCrafsMan]

Mannn I'm out of synonyms for *phenomenal*!!!!! Fantastic collaboration. So glad the felting needles and heat gun trick worked. If I do another filament+felt project, I've got to try the airbrush detailing - that gives such "fire" depth and character.

[@DreamBigBuildSmall]

Awesome build! I learn so many new tricks watching your videos. This was a great collaboration with @ChickensTabletopCrafting. Now to head over & check out his channel. Happy Modeling, Cory

[@davework4400]

that IS SOOO incredible!! i love the fence post switch, but if you turned the switch around 180 degrees, it would be standing in the upright position when its on, and leaning when its off...

[@jaredboone8648]

Love the new handheld beauty shots. Really lets the details sink in

[@Sugar3Glider]

Can you give us a KZbin Short of you cleaning that mat? Shit was spotless.

[@deanr2169]

I've been watching your channel for quite some time now and it inspired me to get into my own crafting stuff (i still kinda suck and don't have much space for a setup but I've been 3d printing and painting. I know you like your western themes, but I would love to see you really do an underwater themed thing, ideally with resin. Your ability to create a story combined with your practical skills could be an awesome creation. I know you've made water based things before, like the watering hole from your western, but maybe a flooded swamp with dangers underneath or fantasy themed would be great.

[@tannimkyraxx]

This was absolutely fantastic. I really love hiding the switch with the fence post.

[@GTDScala]

Your creations literally give me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@chivumihaibogdan1964]

Every week on saturday, i patiently wait for your video, and right just before bedtime, i open your weekly video and watch it peacefully alongside my wife. Then we go to sleep. It has become sort of a ritual for us. It's nice, thank you

[@chriscooper654]

My compliments to both collaborators: an amazing creation / composition and story! And the surviving patrons of the tavern are going to have a great new story to wow all the noob adventurers with for years to come... Plus, no doubt, a truly amazing trophy to hang over the fireplace / bar!

[@mantisnebula6593]

Using a step bit to clean up the burrs inside the brass pipe can give you a clean perfect chamfer in seconds. Exquisite build as always, and I agree that this might be your finest gout of fire yet! I love the fence post switch being incorporated into the world.

[@lilliankeane5731]

That’s excellent, thank you for showing us.

[@estherk2343]

from the thumbnail I was sure that there would be barely-there fishing line or something suspending the dragon in place - it's absolutely incredible how it is suspended by the fire it's breathing! and my mom does needle felting, I never even thought of using those needles for something like this. It turned out so amazing! I'm also *so* charmed by the fencepost switch, that's so cute.

[@oldman7452]

I love this piece. Dragons have always been a favorite creature of mine. The fire setup is very well thought out and executed.

[@TheStricklander]

This might actually be my favorite diorama you've done! The "levitation" of the dragon is incredible, coupled with the fencepost switch! Definitely my favorite one so far!

[@josearellano6843]

Absolutely amazing

[@annbrookens945]

Wow. What a great job cleaning up your hobby mat till it looked like new. Completely different, even!

[@the_chomper]

i really love the hidden switch idea. id love to see more of that in the future. maybe do secondary switches for different things as well.

[@helenannviccora7743]

Just WOW!!! That's amazing!!!

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

Very nice. Greg Hildebrandt did some nice illustrations along these lines.

[@R3LOADlikesgames]

Big Shields, Large Dragons, and Blocking Fire Attacks.. God I love the combination of those things.

[@clellasher7473]

Amazing result!! The Dragon fire looks so real! You have some awesome friends. Thank you for sharing your time, your skills and your incredible adventure.👍🤟🪡🎨

[@FunnyAnchorman]

An amazing electrican once told me, "Never not ream". Im very happy you went back and cleaned up the end of that brass tubing for your wire. Well done.

[@stiffk666]

Amazing. Hidden interactive items should now be a staple. What genius that was!!!

[@textoys-n-mayhem]

Absolutely amazing work.

[@ironbomb6753]

An X-Acto knife #11 blade removes that burr inside the brass tube wonderfully. (An old model airplane builders technique). Excellent diorama! 👍❤

[@clouddog2393]

Great diorama . One of your best and they're all excellent which tells you how good this one is .

[@SweetTooth8989]

Gorgeous. It's amazing how convincing you can make smoke/fire etc. it would have been cool if there was a way to get a bit of light in the tavern. Or even a lantern hanging on the porch for some additional light and variety.

[@mikej557]

This is one of the very few channels on my subscription list that i always watch every episode from start to finish. Love it!

[@MadHatter-jm3cu]

holy wow!!! That dragon fire is so amazing. So was the whole process but that fire wow!!!

[@morgandusin2401]

That fire is incredible.

[@jadedisaster]

the way you suspended that dragon is so incredibly clever!!! I had my mind boggled seeing the thumbnail, it just wasn't clicking that the fire was also a solid object, incredible diorama again!!! thanks so much for sharing it with us!

[@reddogterrain]

Wonderful collaboration from two great channels. Nicely done, guys.

[@Kopie0830]

Insane idea using dragon breath for flight! Awesome!
