These Monster Hunters Don’t Stand a Chance

[@kjeldur3119]

The hunter's plan works perfectly, they escape the canyon, leaving the fallen archway in the snake's path. While they are busy celebrating their success, the snake realizes that it's not bound by the borders of the diorama, and simply slithers around the rock to devour the cowboys.

[@annbrookens945]

LOL!!! Beautifully described!

[@justanaveragenoob9293]

Wait but the rock would have pined it with the spike

[@fenixmeaney6170]

Too funny! I am betting the rock was originally an arch and someone already tried this and was never seen again.

[@kazzon5959]

i love the idea that all the figures are friends outside of the universe, like when they snake said “you guys ready for painting?”

I'd love to see a travelling circus/freak show setting up shop or travelling to the town, with caged monsters on the back of carts or mechs

[@milesdugar6920]

Absolutely stunning. You should definitely tap into the “van meter visitor”, it’s an pterosaur like creature that was spotted in Iowa 1903 in the mid west. the monster has a great wings and a horn that glows a blinding light and was said to fly around and would reside in the mines. Reports say it loves to perch on top of roof tops, I think it would fit perfectly into your Wild West aesthetic.

[@andrewzapadka7835]

Keep up the good work you’re one of my favorite people to watch on KZbin whenever I see a new video from you I get so excited and watch it no matter what I’m doing I hope you continue to do what you do best. My favorite is the imaginary Wild West. Have a great day

I love that your dioramas are so story rich, I think that's what sets this series apart. Your work is amazing in and of itself but I love the world building and I'm always excited to see what you will add to this world next.

[@Geordiecrafts]

I agree 100% his story telling is unparalleled in this niche!

[@imtheguardiangamer59]

Another idea for this universe could be a massive trap door spider that has turned a path way into its trap waiting for some unsuspecting settlers. Keep up the good work.

[@reaper2604]

Isn’t it “trap door” spider or am I mistaken?

[@GermanTacos_]

I like this a lot! Imagine this spider has been there for a long time, below her in her burrow is a small little horde of bones and what not from previous victims

[@karlarose536]

He did do a giant spider in a mine diorama already, if I remember correctly. Wasn't a trap door spider, though.

[@reaper2604]

I love this series so much! I love when you show these terrifying monsters

[@chugiakjrtheplaywwright6461]

I know you already get a lot of requests and suggestions for the Wild Imaginary West, but I personally would love to see either more unusual and "fantastical" locales and setpieces, as well as monsters and creatures from the Wild Imaginary West that aren't as aggressive towards people, if that wouldn't be too much to ask. I actually had an idea that I think I would work for both, of a Giant Magpie that uproots trees to make their nests, but also picks over ruined Mechs and destroyed buildings, and if it finds any chunks or pieces that it particularly likes, it steal them and works those parts into it's nest. Over time, the nest becomes a weird jumble of wood and technology, and maybe some salvagers try to sneak into the nest to find anything of value and get out before the bird comes back.

[@Jvegas2281]

Something I stumbled across that I think could be a cool addition to this series is a giant vulture; more specifically the Argentavis. It weighed around 70kg, with a wingspan of about 7 meters. There could be a scene at night of it diving towards a camp of pioneers, with a ring of covered wagons on the outside, with the campfire only just illuminating the beast for a moment before it snatches one of the travelers.

[@popisdeadisagoodsong9997]

That sounds way awesome! I love argentavis, and perhaps he could do pelagornis as well.

[@Tietokone102]

Love the monster builds so much. The Moose is still easily the scariest one imo.

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Wow man I love your attention to detail with the snake and the men! The colors are perfect!🔥

[@SEATACx]

One of my favorite little things about this piece is the guy waiting above to strike the rock down. I love that kind of attention to detail. He wasn't "necessary" to the diorama but it made the whole thing feel that much more alive. Excellent work as always.

[@qalak7782]

I forget just how many dioramas you've made for this world! This snake hunt one has so much character and story, it's definitely one of my favorites! Great work, Boylei!!

[@Drac0blade16]

I never get tired of this semi-Weird West type of setting.

[@richcurtis813]

Can you research "Ape Canyon" ? A group of miners were trapped in a log cabin and under attack from a group of Sasquatch one night in the early 1900s. It's well documented. It would make a brilliant sci fi western update!! please!!

[@mg1342mg]

I had a well-documented relationship with Paula Abdul in the 80s, but it wasn't real. However, it certainly fits in his fictional world.

When he puts all the dioramas together like it makes perfect sense. 🥰

[@eldritchsheep6801]

*checks watch* Oh, it's math time. so using the base length of the front-most guy in this shot (1:49 about 1.5 inches) I am able to determine that the length of the gun that the back grey guy in the back of the shot is around 1.25 inches. assuming this is an 1873 Winchester hunting rifle this means that 1.25 inches in the diorama are equal to 39 inches in real life. To make the math easier I'll divide 39 by five (7.8) and then multiply it by 4 (31.2) to get the length in the diorama equal to one flat inch so now we know that for every 1 IRL inch there are 31.2 inches in the diorama. Moving onto the snake I was able to count the number of inches the snake is (using this shot 2:57) as 21 inches, adding our IRL to Diorama formula (31.2*21) I can determine that this snake is 655.2 inches, equating to 54.6 feet or 16.64 meters, the longest snake ever recorded was medusa who was only 7.67 meters long or 32 feet 9.5 inches, less than half of our canyon slither lad. Wow.
