This Beautiful Underground Lake Holds a Terrifying Secret

#boyleihobbytime #wildwest #diorama
This week, we’re underground in the Wild West with another spooky monster encounter! The explorer has descended into a large cavern and is contemplating wandering deeper in. Hopefully he reconsiders.

I have an idea for a diorama, a small mountain road with people walking on, further up, a rockslide is tumbling towards them and a large creature caused the rock slide.

[@Ashy-te6bz]

That large creature could be like a mountain lion?

[@xellosmakuzo2586]

That sound like the Slide-rock Bolter

[@moehoward01]

Make it!

[@deanought3695]

Whale. Land whale thingy I heard about. I think it's a cryptid

[@Faraway994]

@@deanought3695the slide rock bolster i think you’re talking about

[@HolyCowCreates]

This is the most well executed cave diorama I've ever seen! The greenish colors at the entrance really sell the look, I think. Keep inspiring us next generation of hobby KZbinrs, Boylei!

[@dylantomlinson218]

agreed

[@christophercombs5977]

Totally agree. The cave looks very natural which is truly hard to mimic.

[@scarlettredwater6014]

The footage of regular superglue every time he says he's using foam-safe superglue is so funny 😭😭

[@Frozenkoldfury]

I like to think that, Like other Octopi, the one on the pool is actually reasonably friendly. It's perhaps curious, but not actively hostile. Unlike the other giant monsters of the W.I.W, the Octopi are just as intelligent as their smaller cousins, and capable of emotional maturity. I think the cave dweller here is mostly just curious about this strange man and his portable light, and might even throw some rocks up onto the shore to see if it can engage in a passing exercise with this strange, not very well camouflaged creature.

[@jonathonellis5604]

Maybe it's even smarter then that of the regular octopi, with it's bigger body, obvious access to more food (if it has been able to surstain itself in a mostly closed cave system) and it's longer more dextrous tentacles, Maybe it's actualy as smart as that do-do like bird in the circus diarama (around the level of a perticularly smart dog), or even smarter like the Tulkun on A:TWOW, i mean if a whale can learn to say "Get Out" while in an aquareium, i bet you any money a simmilarly sized Cephalopod could do the same

[@Necromi]

My favourite friendly octopi is the kraken, it hugs every ship it sees with all of its love :)

[@Necromi]

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Jesus was the friendliest octopus.

[@modelermark172]

Even without the obligatory, Wild Imaginary West monster; this is one of the best cave dioramas (shadowbox?) that I have ever seen! The fact that the monster isn't immediately apparent makes this a well-executed "Delayed-Reaction Piece," that takes viewers a moment or two to realize that there is more to this excellent spelunking diorama than meets the eye. Looking forward to your next diorama!

[@tsundor1]

i agree! the way it was shown also reminds me of one of thalasso hobbyer's dioramas where the process of making the monster was not shown at all so you didn't know it existed until the reveal at the end

[@mikecrowe9888]

As someone who has never made a single model that didn't look like a 5 year old built it, I am in awe of Boylei. every week he amazes me with a new creation that makes me feel so happy and so damned useless at the same time. Keep doing what works sir!

[@starsixseven9259]

_Beneath the town of Treason lay a vast network of caves and ravines; some flooded, others dry. Miners and adventurers alike delve deep into the earth in search of their salvation, but few ever return._

[@ReviewerKid90]

I'd be all for a D&D session set in your Imaginary Wild West.

[@3thanplaysgam3s92]

Yea

[@KincaidCalder-vn6bo]

Definitely, it reminds me of The Hunt Showdown, so maybe using some guns from that could be interesting.

[@gitays]

I swear this man builds such cool things. And he uploads quite often as well. Great work!

[@och70]

Pretty much every week, we can look forward to another great video.

[@Reverenddelzao]

He's the "Bob Ross" of Dioramas.

[@pmedic523]

I’m the words of Director Krennick, “Oh, it’s beautiful.” Marvelously done. The water is just clear enough for the outline and smooth as glass as a lake in a cave would probably be.

[@dbam2814]

I like to imagine this is your version of the Oklahoma Lake Octopus cryptid. Except rather than lakes, it's deep underground pools. Excellent diorama! 👏

[@none3662]

I love these types of builds, very big, very detailed, with the right amount of story and creepiness. The video is very educating, calm, entertaining and with a pinch of comedy. These videos will never get old, keep up the good work Boylei! (If that's your name)

[@leohahn5835]

Hey! Leo from Saint Louis here! Just saying I appreciated the cameo in todays video. You do you great work and I love the calming effect of your narration and construction. Keep up the great work!

[@RobinShiSummers]

oh my god that first shot of the finished diorama with the lake reflecting the cave entrance was BEAUTIFUL. holy shit. this might be my favourite piece of yours to date!

[@belrondbaker3644]

It’s nice to see someone who is not about to be unalived in a diorama! I hope this isn’t the last installment of Leo’s adventures

[@persianking44]

One of these days, I'm gonna be a billionaire, and I'm gonna build an art museum and hire you to make an entire hall dedicated to the Imaginary Wild West 😂

[@bernardskelton2705]

One of your best dioramas in my opinion. Well done, very simplistic but with tons of character.

[@samanthadean1083]

You never know what lies below calm waters!!! Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@nemobille5954]

Your storytelling and diorama spark my imagination in such wonderful ways

[@wallabaatar]

This cave is stunning, and I love everything about this build! I’ll watch it again with my mom to celebrate Mother’s Day 🙂. Thanks for what you do Boylei!!

[@0023hunter]

Hands down one of the best builds ever. The contrast between light and dark, colorful and bleak, and the just out-of-sight octopus that almost can't be seen is so nuanced it is perfect. Just perfect!

[@kaylakaphingst6371]

I love that you made a What about Bob reference!!! Love that movie!

[@rhyslewis1887]

Another fantastic build from one talented gentleman!! 👏🏻 Love how the WIW is coming along

[@mistac5050]

What a great build, I love the depth of this piece. Very atmospheric.

[@Paul-uc8qj]

This diorama is amazing. Intrepid pioneer explorer, Leo, seems incredibly calm for having an idea as to what lurks beneath those dark cave waters.

[@carrie4910]

Woah 😮🤯 Looks phenomenal! That cave lighting ❤

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Simply incredible, C! I love your airbrushing and color choices. The fact that you painted in a shaft of yellow light to pick up the natural light rocks my world man. Also, the mirrored reflection on the surface of the still lake water is beautiful. This is so inspiring. p.s. I saw a movie with Leo!! He was attacked by a bear and crawled like a billion miles back to camp while being attacked by ants, ravens, and other assorted biting insects. It's a pretty depressing film, but he made it... barely (pun intended). You would think that Leo would have learned his lesson and just retired, but apparently he's exploring dangerous caves now. Sigh. Some people. Insanely cool work!

[@karlarose536]

Haha! Clever reference, there Ti Nu.

[@marshawargo7238]

the Colors the Blending the Depth! These then all reflected in the still water! The imagery all so realistic. I couldn't watch the documentary about Leo knowing it was a real life. But this one little snippet of Leo's life, as realistic as the film, brought tears!

[@Nathanm7977]

@craftastophe T-nu, You 2 should really get together and do a short film using his town and your filming skills alog with some of your (dont kill me) puppetry. Can not think of the correct term . its 1am almost.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

@@Nathanm7977 Ya' never know what the future could bring, but yeah, that would be cool! BTW: Since you are exhausted I will overlook your bizarre comment about puppets. People always mention puppets... so weird... : )

[@noahchiaravallotti6510]

Never thought I'd hear a "What About Bob?" reference here! Good one Mr. Boylei

[@tamasmihaly1]

Oh wow, what a blast from the past. I loved the "What about Bob" reference. It's one of my favorites.

[@indosfinest]

Great video shooting and the background music at the end makes it special. Keep up the good work!

[@unpronounceable5020]

“Foam-safe superglue” **sizzle sizzle**

[@TheGamingSpartanA113]

I knew what regular super glue did to foam, but it's always nice to have that comedic timing of the melting for visual reminders.

[@NotOnLand]

Fun fact, that plaster-glue mix you make is basically gesso, which explains why it's such a good primer and painting surface.

[@thaispublio7879]

In the end, the way you shoot with the camera was so amazing! Really looked spooky!

[@DungeonBricks]

My jaw dropped. Literally. As the cave came together. Ill never not be amazed by craftsmen... Craft expertise.

[@PocketChangeInspector]

So cool. Not just a hobby but that's talent. Impressive!

[@broadwayace]

I adore the cave lighting in the back so so much, and i hope leo knows i love and support him and his wild west journeys

[@Thatmangobird]

By the way you have some of the coolest models I've ever seen in my life❤❤❤❤ I am obsessed

[@lionessoftor4139]

This is simply stunning! I also love that even though resin has been a pain in the past you learn from it and get better. It shows us that it's okay to try new things and even if you fail you can always learn from it and it was never a waste. Love this series.

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

That styropian piece with the super glue looks wicked. You should absolutely use it in a diorama.

[@RookBytes]

The regular superglue is like the effect Xenomorph blood has to the steel decks of space stations and star ships. IDEA!!

[@SnoopyTwo]

WOW! What a beautiful artwork! Many thanks for inspiration (as I am a aquarius, my spirit is 110 percent now). :)

[@mrragge7986]

This is so high quality!

[@estherk2343]

something so simple and beautiful about this one, it's so haunting. I love it!

[@georgeboaru5935]

What a masterpiece. Top skill with proper storytelling. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@russellrollain5295]

I love how you display your finished product. And getting to watch how you create your dioramas are fascinating and mesmerizing to me. Wow. I can get lost in your work.

[@jesmarina]

VERY well thought through. Untraditional and very effectful.

[@thedumplingsculptor5293]

Thank you so much for making these videos. Watching someone like you so skillfully create beautiful art works has inspired me, and I'm sure so many others to just sit down, and do art. Please keep the videos coming.

[@chasonlapointe]

That may be your most evocative piece yet! Absolutely fantastic.

[@LiterallyJustTheNumberSeven]

I love that every time the foam safe super glue was mentioned the normal super glue clip was shown LOL

[@landonbench8496]

Thank you for the WHAT ABOUT BOB reference!!!!!!!

[@abhinavhajra]

Dude never misses. Another beautiful diorama.

[@nickrogers3111]

lighting is amazing bro, it's probably my favorite piece you have done

[@voiceofalkimos6853]

Every Boylei video I watch makes me motivated to actually do the T-54/55 model I bought 3 years ago but never did because I didn't have any good glue.

[@goldenmanstudios]

I can’t wait until all of these are done and we unlock the full Lore or even a video explaining it

[@BobaKnut]

WOW!!! This has to be one of your best dioramas so far... simply amazing!!!

[@MyCatInABox]

8:13 Oh man- That looks so f***ing GOOD. You have talent, no doubt.😁👍

[@superspicygummybears5700]

I hope we get to see more of Leo's adventures, it would be cool if he became a recurring character..

[@curator3539]

Beautiful, I love that you can see a hint of the monster in the murky depths.

[@brandonrb]

I love the lighting tricks with this one. One of my all time favorites.

[@anglerfish658]

I wanted to just say thank you for one thing in particular, I remember showing your wild imaginary west train videos to my grandfather, me and him watched it together and he loved it as we both shared an interest in model trains unfortunately, he passed away recently, but despite that whenever I watch your videos , it reminds me of him and all the joy he had on his face when he saw the finished product, it cheers me up. Thank you and love the build❤️

[@brett.c]

All of your diorama's are pure art. I appreciate all the videos you do and the small details!!

[@user-hh5zi1tt4s]

I love you’re channel so much, I have been watching your videos forever!

[@personified5102]

I love this so much. It's definitely my favorite. Simple and masterful

[@gnollman]

What an amazing paint job, you just really set the atmosphere with a relatively simple paint scheme. You really do just make it look so easy, I love seeing it.

[@kathoakes929]

Absolutely amazing!!

[@crimsonkaiju7085]

What an absolutely fantastic diorama and world building too. Thanks for all your awesome work!

[@KitsunenoHibi]

Wow, this was GORGEOUS. The cave was so realistic, the panning shot of the final piece gave me shivers!

[@JacknifeModelWorkshop]

a MASTERPIECE of atmosphere! Congrats!

[@pigcatapult]

I love your water builds so much. They perfectly speak to how I feel about bodies of water.

[@BPCustomCreations]

The light shining into the cave is too cool! Very well done 👍

[@RedCaio]

0:26 I love the "What About Bob?" reference LOL

[@kingmi92]

This one was so simple but turned out incredible. Might be one of my new favorites. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@lofiworkshop]

This is so nicely done. It's more peaceful than spooky to me, even with the octopus. And the lantern, it's amazing what you can do at such a tiny scale.

[@DJMarcO138]

Got my coffee, got my vape pen, got my Boylei Hobby Time video - Sunday starts off great again!

[@christinecarter4979]

This is my favorite so far. Beautifully done!

[@mythal0620]

Whow, that's really beautiful! I like the atmosphere of the diorama, and I think it's even better that you've given your explorer a whole story. And the colors in the background are super nice.

[@PKTCrafts]

Very cool! The light and colors makes it for me the most. Incredible looking vibe.

[@robinbryde3038]

Fantastic Diorama!!The word spooky explains it perfectly....the hairs on my neck stood up while viewing the pix at the end 🫣 Thanks for sharing this...

[@mmatgat]

This might be one of your best one yet!

[@dejahdanger]

It’s beautiful. Great work.

[@trapezoid5810]

I was excited to see this diorama ever since you gave a sneak peak in last week's project! Hope you do more reference stuff like that (and this project, for that matter)!

[@volttherobot]

MIndblowing! I love the way the reflections work and his little light SO much!!! wow. xoxo

[@leonardodicaprio8150]

the “what about bob” references are killing me 😂

[@Epoartist]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@CheesyballzTM]

I just love how the way how talk it is so relaxing. Keep going king 👑

[@Beschaulichkeit]

This one is fabulously lit. Usually they look good but this one is 10/10.

[@LaloRuelas05]

I absolutely love watching your videos. They’re so intriguing, relaxing, and just amazing. I especially love the dioramas with the hidden creatures. They all tell a story and my I imagination goes wild. Keep it up!

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

The level of story telling on your work is fantastic. If I found out you'd be making a movie around your wild west dioramas, I'd be in the theater in a heartbeat. Awesome work as always, my friend. Go's bless.

[@filmsfluent5848]

I've been watching your channel for a long time now and this is one of my favorites you've done so far! Always excited when you post a new vid. Keep up the great content!
