Making a Subscriber’s Dream into Reality | Monster Windmill Diorama

#DonQuixote #Mimic #Diorama
I was recently sent a message on instagram describing a dream in which I made a diorama based on Don Quixote. In the dream, the windmill was actually a ferocious monster! I loved the idea and decided to make the dream a reality! This diorama is chock full of character. I hope you enjoy!

I swear he was adding so much character I was afraid it'd bring the windmill to life.

[@KeysoftheLord]

😂

[@elementalarrow8431]

"Mimics are becoming a real problem in this land. We must act quickly before they become the size of castles." Don Quixote from another reality.

[@modelermark172]

This is wonderful, and captures the spirit of Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote" perfectly! THIS is exactly how I imagined the titular character saw the windmill in his mind. Your diorama does justice to what many consider to be the first modern novel. Great job, Boylei!

[@Iandepian.]

Isnt it called "Don Quijote"?

[@ibandorronsoro8860]

@@Iandepian.The name is Spanish written by a Spanish Man. Americans, English and other people pronounce his name like it has a J because they don’t know how to pronounce it.

[@CristinaAlmarazLopez]

​@ibandorronsoro8860 It is actually pronounced with a J (I'm Spanish), it's just that that back when the book was written the J phonem was written with the letter X. In modern Spanish you will often see it spelt as Don Quijote but if you get an original copy of the text you will see this is the case for every word that nowadays would be spelt with a J (which makes reading the book even more diffucult on top of the old Spanish being kinda different to begin with, I had to read the whole thing like this in high school)

[@CristinaAlmarazLopez]

It's the same thing with Mexico, in Spanish it's pronounce like MéJico even though it keeps the old spelling

[@The_Monke.BloxFruits]

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Eyyyy Caleb!!! Thank you so much for the shoutout. That was extremely kind of you and you definitely did not need to do that. You’re very generous my friend and a very stand up guy. ❤️👊 Hope there are some things in the box you can make use of and have some fun with!

[@fardicus0004]

This diorama gives me major "Monster House" vibes, and I like it. It's got a lot of character. 🙌

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

Monster House is exactly right!!!

[@Fixing_Benjamin]

Literally spws down to the comments after the spotlight to see who thought the same! xD

[@mossyraven6973]

That is literally all I could think about watching this, especially with the broken door resembling teeth

[@johnmasonRCingabout]

Good film that.

[@wallabaatar]

Coyote and his faithful friend Poncho 😂. I love your humor, and it enhances so well the excellence of your creativity and craftsmanship. Such a great build Boylei!

[@kyleh3615]

Quixote

[@TophOpossum]

@@kyleh3615 Don Quixote was companions with Sancho Panza. Dan Coyote is friends with Poncho Sanza.

[@toodlesX14]

I've always enjoyed the story of Don Quixote, and I've especially always loved the form of windmills, they're the most striking buildings. So I especially love this build! It has a lot of character.

[@cainsgalacticcreations]

I love the medieval themed builds.

[@DJMarcO138]

It ain't a Sunday without Boylei Hobby Time!

[@r4dwolf]

That's a lot of character for one video 😁 Love it, brilliant work once again ❤

[@mdoyle1981]

This is so brilliant! The windmill character is so perfect, it could feature in its own universe.

[@volyann3109]

Man I love Dom Coyote. Dan Kenobi is one of my favorite books, and Dim Quatorze is one of my favorite characters.

[@annbrookens945]

Love your take on spelling that oh-so-difficult name!

[@bubbadoom1837]

One of the best lines I've ever read in literature came from Don Quixote. The Don was facing off against some thugs. "Advance! Come on! Molest me as far as ye are able, for soon ye shall reap the rewards of your insolence and folly!" I need to read it again. It's been years.

[@lionessoftor4139]

Amazing job, Boylei! I bet this is exactly what Don Quixote saw. Also my sister used to call him Donkey Oatey which is even funnier because she was in high school when she thought this. If anyone wants to hear a great summery of this story without having to read it (because while good it is a LOT) Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions does a great job, informative and hilarious.

[@theryankruger]

I love that Don Quixote and Poncho opens the door for the outlaw country duo Sancho and Lefty

[@benefimov1980]

wow this build has so much character :)

[@carlosarturrangel8282]

This was such a very CHARACTERistic video, and certainly Boylei's script had countless CHARACTERS.

[@conorduggan6682]

Sounds like he drank too much adversi-tea. It builds character, but it has a bitter taste.

[@waynewallace9648]

Really like how you add a little story to your builds explaining the diorama

[@davidkanengieter]

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies!" Great job! Had a long, busy day, and this was the perfect thing to unwind to.

[@rito_gamer]

It’s giving a LOT of Monster House vibes lol. A lot of detail went into the windmill itself, awesome job!!!

[@Dimensioneer88]

I had this idea for a Christmas theme Imaginary Wild West build: -a cowboy Santa (who I named Santa Fe Claus) driving a carriage instead of a sleigh being chased by a werecoyote or something. Maybe throw in a desert Krampus as well.

[@Nat1videos]

Such a cool idea! That tower has tons of character. A mimic tower :D

[@gargapapa1867]

The character, the backstory, the realization... i love everything about this video

[@williamporter7596]

Excellent storytelling with the diorama. That windmill looks REALLY mean. And Don Quixote and Poncho look very real.

[@elecmagpulse7385]

This build sure shows off that characteristic Boylei Hobby Time charm!

[@pinetreerebellion]

I can’t put my finger on why, but this is one of my favorite builds. It just has a great whimsical fantasy feel that’s really nostalgic.

[@arthurmartel8307]

this video has a lot of character :) great work

[@marcoherreras6536]

I couldn’t stop smiling for the whole video, the humour is seriously challenging the top crafting level! You made me want to re-read back all Calvin&Hobbes...

[@garzilla7123]

You just breathe life into every single project you build, you never fail to amaze me, my friend. 👍👍👍

[@quakxy_dukx]

I can’t explain why but I have this little feeling you wanted to add a bit of extra character to this diorama.

[@chriscooper654]

I find dreams a great source of inspiration as well. Great work, as always, and so glad the rocks were returned to their natural habitat 🤣

[@hlgs88]

Love this build, so much character! Also love the shoutout to RTH, I love his channel and watching him inspired me to start breaking into the terrain building world!

[@MROC66]

I love all your builds. But this one hit home for some reason, the windmill is incredible! I would seriously think about getting it tattooed on me. This is my absolute favorite thing you have done thus far.

[@oliverhaz4549]

Thats one crazy dream from the person who suggested this theme.. Would have been great to see the eyes of the monster lit..possibly with a small red led.. Thanks for sharing..👌

[@ThePixelPear]

This video and craft has A lot of character!

[@mistac5050]

This is awesome, and I assume it's part of your brand new "Wild Imaginary Medieval Town" series! Right? RIGHT? Didn't know that you could paint static grass, it looked great!

[@kyleh3615]

An impossibly beautiful diorama to represent a man mad enough to chase the Impossible dream

[@coward420]

I swear I could watch this as a TV program just the interest the creativeness

[@jodezero]

Absolutely wonderful. Great job. And the word for the day kids, is “Character!”

[@armorhand3332]

Props to Quinn for the dream/suggestion! (Read "Don Quixote" recently, Quinn? lol) Excellent job of manifesting the dream, BHT! (...as usual...) Love your show!

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

It's like you've taken Don Quixote and introduced his world to the .onster house. Love this! Great work as always. God bless!

[@konoikurozora5851]

I never liked Don Quijote, but I really enjoy this diorama - the idea of such a huge mimic is terrifying!

[@user-gb6re9eg3i]

A formidable opponent, no doubt. Impenetrable! Very cool diorama that you created and a fun watch.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Very cool! The grass looked cool on the rocks at 7:43…. And I love that you airbrushed the static grass to the colors you wanted.

[@earlware4322]

Yeah, I was caught a little off guard by that. I thought the original colors were great, but the final painted version fits the scene very well.

[@AidanBlake]

This build is overflowing with character.

[@morharna]

In my spanish speaking country, the colloquial term for blonde girls is macha. So when you said" el hombre de la macha" I laughed, picturing people in town saying " there goes Blondie's man chasing mimics again"

[@marthabace632]

As everyone has mentioned, this one is full of character! But I think you may have missed one thing that would have brought the monster to life... red lights behind the eyes. But might that have been a step too far in the desire for character? Absolutely loved it anyway. "El 'Hombre' de LA Mancha" is a favorite of mine!!

[@AndrewKuntzman]

Wow new style intro. Baby bottom smooth! So much Character I love it.

[@grannyflatgarage7599]

Amazing build, only thing is i think an eerie red glow coming from the eyes would have finished it off perfectly! Love your work!❤

[@that_dude_carson]

It always impresses me with how much character you put into these builds

[@user-iy6lc5oi9o]

Great video Boylei! Please do another medieval-themed build again soon!

[@ezragrey9212]

Watching the color of those rocks come to life was something else

[@BLAZE084]

I love the expression on the monster’s face. Really neat 😎👍🏽

[@waynewallace9648]

Watching your videos calm me down after a hard days work please keep them coming love the creative projects you definitely think outside the box 😊

[@darealnickcage4329]

This definitely gives me ideas for adding giant mimics disguised as buildings in my D&D campaign

[@edanwallgejw]

I loved this build, it has so much character! Your builds are always so inspired Boylei, and all my family looks forward to your weekly creativity! :)

[@Dally_Star-Daisy_Proot]

Imagine if a railroad tunnel turned out to be a mimic of some sort, devouring whole trains with plentiful of passengers. (the reason I said this was because the windmill monster's face reminded me of the skiing/ice tunnel scene from Polar Express, as well as Monster House)

[@marklafferty5319]

Love your builds and your commentary- always enjoyable! Thanks!

[@MorganWasHere3]

It’s Don Quixote!

[@Expialidocious46545]

I LOVE this build! The windmill is so creepy and turned out fantastic.

[@clarke7703]

Watching this video helped me build a lot of character.

[@-Kerstin]

I wonder how well this diorama matched Quinns dream

[@MonolithproductionsT]

Almost exactly! In my dream it had a giant tongue coming out of a window and the windmill was formed out of concrete (dream logic). It was also from a railroad set (dream logic). The scarecrow arms were exactly as they were in my dream and the general shape of it too. He did a good job!

[@-Kerstin]

@@MonolithproductionsT Haha, that's awesome. Thanks for sharing your cool dream.

[@oblivioussenpai8109]

Coming back to this vid to say I ended up buying one of these kits for my dad for Christmas since he’s getting into building diorama’s himself. He was so happy he cried, 10/10 totally worth it would buy again.

[@h3rofy]

i love how much character this build has

[@tomtruesdale6901]

What a cool build. Nice twist on the Don Quixote story and your shoot outs to Neil and Lazor Creation World.

[@lnrmodels]

I’m always in awe of your work and talent. Thanks for yet another awesome video

[@danielmaxwell6676]

I have been moving all weekend. Just stoppedlong enogh to see this build. Perfect, love it. And an interesting twist on the story.

[@udorechner6846]

Ver nice interpretation of the classic "Don Quichote" Story and an awesome Build. The windmill looks fantastic, and the paintingresult of the figures makes me speechless..

[@ShinobiAlphaOG]

Didn't think I'd ever see a mimic windmill, very cool 😎

[@cornflakemonkey]

Windmill monster giving off strong "Come at me bro!" vibes

[@IceDragon978]

Love that you took inspiration from a viewer, love even more that you gave credit. Love the video, too.

[@kevinjones7171]

Awesome!! Super build!! Lights inside windmill for eyes would be super cool!! Really enjoy your work!!

[@disasterpiece8868]

happy to see a video without LEDs shoved everywhere! Nice work.

[@Cleo_101]

This is awesome! The windmill turned out great! Lots of Character ❤

[@ivandimitrijevic6095]

Another awesome build! But if you excuse me to nitpick a bit, you could have easily included this in your Wild Imaginary West, if you instead of supernatural windmill, made it so that the monster was a large hermitcrab who used windmill as its shell. Not sure if that makes a whole lot of sense, but it makes for an interesting imagery, and you are making a fantasy diorama anyway AND the theme of cowboy Sancho Panza fighting a monster windmill sounds awesome.

[@ramboturkey1926]

i feel invested in this story, you should give names to all of your figures

[@brieoshiro]

I love Dox Quixote and I have a vague memory of making a school diorama about this as a kid...this is so cool!

[@Sully3000]

I’ve literally been thinking of doing a don Quixote art piece. I’ll take this as a sign to go ahead and finally do it

[@Hudfilmsproductions]

I always come to this channel to end my day because each video is good quality, relaxing, interesting, has some good comedy, and is always entertaining. Excellent video!

[@scribbleknit]

Very clever, and very full of character! I look forward to your builds and I’m so glad I found your channel.

[@ksmonkeygirl1]

man, this video really builds character!

[@fisherman501]

This looks like a mix between Don Quixote and 'Monster House if it was on a farm'

[@occult.thespians.society]

The windmill monster design gave me Monster House (2006) vibes!

[@AdamWieczorek-Vetinari]

Excellent representation of Don Quixote. This video made me remember Jacek Kaczmarski's song "Don Quixote's thesis" (Teza Don Kiszota) and I've been listening to it and other Kaczmarski's song for a day now, and it made me feel a lot of happiness, thank you.

[@michaellindsey1543]

Magnificent every time! Such a gifted creator!

[@MonolithproductionsT]

DREAMS DO COME TRUE! I have a lot of really weird and detailed dreams, and they tend to be very very realistic. Just the other night I had a dream about a flying flashlight that was reminding campers to follow the rules, then I went off to blow up a bridge using explosive spiders. Weird dreams... Come to think of it, I'm glad this was the dream that ended up coming true, because I'm not sure I'd be enthusiastic about exploding spiders. Thanks again for making a dream come true!

[@In10tionL]

This is honestly weird, because I feel like I've seen this idea and this thumbnail before, maybe a couple of weeks ago. I know I didn't watch it, but when I saw the thumbnail in my subs I felt a moment of deju vu, because I could almost swear I've scrolled past this video before.

[@MonolithproductionsT]

@@In10tionL It's a canon event in all universes I suppose

[@PrinceJack777]

Man the amount of CHARACTER development in this video… 😚 👌🏼

[@earlware4322]

Another outstanding masterpiece Boylei! I love the windmill mimic monster, all of individual bricks shows true dedication to your craft. Though, I do think that had you placed a flickering red or orange LED inside it would have really taken the monster to another level. Still, this was a phenomenal work of art. 💙👍👍

[@TheSlamburger]

Does anyone else remember Monster House? That movie freaked me out as a kid, but that’s exactly what this reminds me of.

[@mossyraven6973]

Take a shot every time he says "adds character" or "visual interest" Jokes aside, this looks great! Makes me really motivated to make something like this

[@Moccason]

This is great! Many a giggle- I certainly developed a lot of character watching this video :)

[@wAwCreator]

🎉Extremely simple all steps. BUT . The results are truly amazing. admire you

[@DutchDaveModels]

This is some awesome Cervantes nightmare caught in a diorama! Excellent ✨🤗✨

[@MGB-learning]

Another outstanding build, video and presentation.

[@miguelsimarrogonzalez2128]

Impresionante, amigo, me encanta, but, in La Mancha, windmills are bright white with perfectly conical slate-tiled roofs. This one looks more like french or english, but its a very nice french windmill monster

[@woodlanderstudios]

A super AwEsOmE build!!! The blades are my favorite part of this one. Amazing work!
