Monster Hunting Revolver | 1:1 Scale Prop Build!

#WIW #Prop #cosplay
This week, I made my second 1:1 scale prop for the Wild Imaginary West. This time round, I customized a leather holster with some kitbashed technology. The tech assists cowboys in their ongoing endeavors against the megafauna of the West.
Go check out @TerrainTronics for some awesome tabletop electronic supplies and inspiration!

I wish this universe was made into a video game

[@AmazingSteve1]

This guy is thinking the same as me

Hard West is kinda close. Xcom-like game with undead/monsters/Lovecraft nonsense

[@sarahlongshore2605]

Definitely!!!

[@Tomy_Yon]

Give it a year or so...😊

[@LuceoX30]

An isometric RPG like the original Fallout would be a great choice for such game based off its source material.

[@NeroNyte]

I like how the mechanics of the ammunition really enforces that quickdraw trope. Like I can imagine a gunslinger realizes a monster is charging towards them, they take their stance and flip the switch before hovering their hand over the grip, listening to the hum of the machine as it charges, and just at the last second hears the confirmation that the ammo is charged, and quickdraws on the monster just before it attacks.

[@josephdavis2695]

Love this. What a freaking writing prompt, my friend!

[@NeroNyte]

@@josephdavis2695 Thanks! I've always had a writer brain, I should probably do something with it one of these days lol

[@TheBlakus420]

Yea, that sounds pretty bad ass ngl

[@wallabaatar]

These 1:1s and their stories are like an expansion pack to the WIW, adding depth and dimension to a world that already had so much…depth and dimension. So cool Boylei!! And some pretty good BB shootin’ too!!

[@crazyvikingboy2856]

Just as a note from someone who has worked with costume making / 1:1 props (especially leather), you’re going to want to use lots of mechanical connections rather than chemical connections for worn props, especially with parts that move often and are flexible. Those wires that are holding the battery pack onto the belt most likely will come off at some point because the super glue sometimes doesn’t like sticking to the glossy leather (I like to sand the leather for the glue to bite onto it if I have to use glue). Same with the styrene holding the casing on, if you bump one bad corner it’s most likely going to break on you. To keep your awesome builds from breaking there’s some great solutions out there in the costume making community. (Velcro goes a long way for stuff like this and is easily hidden). Love the video, keep up the good work!

[@jacksclevername]

As a hobbyist leatherworker I agree, though I assume this is more of a display piece than anything. I rarely rely on glue alone, glue is usually just a temporary/supplementary measure to keep things together when stitching.

[@adrianhernandez-ft8iq]

Your wild imaginary west has been one of my favorite projects to watch grow.

[@applecritter]

i love the heart of this big wholesome kid vibe to the channel, we all miss playing with toys and imagining universes so its great to see.

[@pjsines4705]

Cosplaying from the universe you created: 10/10

[@timeturner1300]

In par with the hunting rifle you made, a monster hunter cosplay would be cool to see

[@Mannequin-Skywalker]

If not cosplay, atleast a full outfit on a mannequin if he doesn't want to do a face reveal. Or, could go with a Fish Bowl like in the destruction derby collab. 😄

[@JacksBuildsandstopmotions]

I love to see these real life scale things from the universe. It makes everything feel more real

[@Cimmerian415]

I can't think of a better way to start off my Sunday morning other than watching a video by Boylei Hobby Time. Thank you for your content, smooth, easy oration and wonderful imagination.

[@Tyrexthecreaturedesigner]

I love how you’re doing both dioramas and life size props to add even more immersion to the Wild Imaginary West!

[@jamesmatthews5811]

Recovering from a 5 day hospitalization. This was much needed. Love to see how you create your backstories of the different elements and what appears to be the huge amount of fun you are having at the same time. Hope you feel better soon

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

Just love the tiny bits of lore we get in every video

[@noticedninja1757]

Bro that outlaw on top of the carriage just absolutely deleted. That was amazing, best shootout in cinematic history.

[@user-rm3fi6pv4h]

These Areal Life pieces your building sometimes, make this universe feel very established like Star Wars. Considering the amount of dioramas and figures you’ve painted, as well as the lore already made. That means there are certain rules and other marks of the story. 😍

[@muscifede]

I love the little details like the artistic bent of the cowboy backstory of the handle pattern

[@martinm3474]

Looks like you're ready for a ride out to Cheyenne Wells. You'll be going over some mighty open land, there and back. Good to be armed up.

[@ZalesakVID]

Coming from a gun guy: The 1873 Colt Single Action Army later nicknamed the "Peacemaker" fired the .45 (Long) Colt round, which nowadays is mostly relegated to just Cowboy Action shooting and hunting, but even now is powerful enough to put a man down with a single round. The round delivering an electrical charge would certainly amplify (no pun intended) its stopping power to the extent that depending on the strength of the charge, once it struck its target (say the brain or the heart of some large beast) the combined impact by itself and the "shock effect" could save a W.I.W. gunslinger from (still no pun intended) a grisly death.

[@ghostdragon9473]

You should consider writing a book series on the WIW. I for one would definitely buy it.

[@jacobbritt9528]

I think a monster hunting sheriff badge could be cool or a monster proof cowboy hat! Or some boots to kick some ass!

[@carrie4910]

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Hope you get better soon!

[@copelandammann4815]

The rifle over the back and the holstered iron on the hip. I'm convinced we're watching you complete your WIW cosplay piece by piece. Next we need to see the amulet/necklace made out of leather with a lore accurate monster claw/tooth. We need some boots with some cool in universe spurs that have another purpose or something like that.

[@ericvaughn2617]

The transition to the shooting gallery now makes me hope that there is a smaller scale IWW Borrowers/Lilliputian style civilization that sometimes hires big gunslingers.

[@edanwallgejw]

Thank you for your dedication Boylei! I certainly enjoyed this build, and it looked like you did too.:) Have a great week.

[@NeedsMoreSwords]

What really gets me excited about this is that the electrified bullet concept sounds very similar to a Leyden jar musket ball idea Jules Verne described in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. It just shows how perfectly the WIW setting imagines how 1800's sensibilities would make use of sci-fi technology. I'm a big fan of how you make a point to describe the limitations of your fantasy tech to keep it grounded in a way that's endlessly fun to imagine!

[@danielflamm1930]

each upload is a work of art, not just the craft but the storytelling and presentation of it all, keep up the great work! can’t wait for the next!🙏🎉❤

[@garzilla7123]

A minimal design but yet perfect. And a pretty dang good shot, too, partner. 👍👍👍

My gasp when I saw the thumbnail. I love these to scale projects!

[@user-hq7ui3ob8k]

amazing BB shooting Boylei😎

[@pandoratheclay]

0:49 You sound like the badass cowboy that would wield this thing

[@nils-peterwihlney8732]

Considering the scale of your models the fact that there are not many tech pieces for a gun belt makes sense. It is a practical application and thus the least amount of space used is the best option. The fact that such a small energy source can charge 6 bullets with enough power to seriously harm some of those big beasties we've seen you make? That's impressive. The gun itself could use some gribbles to note where the power is being charged. Maybe a socket, spring, or rod by the pommel of the handle. But that's just minor details. This build was amazing and made me think of the time I played around as a kid. Good gun cowboy, good gun.

[@vharrald]

Looks like you're becoming a real cowboy there boylei.. great job on the holster and pistol... You're just about ready for cosplay now

[@nitegeckoanimations8000]

Hi boylie I'm a huge fan and wanted to say the content is great and we need more 1:1 scale props

[@shoebkhan8459]

Love the 1:1 scale WIW stuff! But I feel like there’s so much more you could potentially add to something that is as crucial to a WIW cowboy as a six shooter and its belt. Maybe consider coming back to this if you can think of anything else that would liven it up!

[@chriscooper654]

Always a pleasure to visit the Wild Imaginary West.

[@BarokaiRein]

The engraving looks awesome, like I would legit be happy to own a gun with that kinda design.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

First off, get well soon. Second, this was a cool build, loved the idea about the electrified bullets. Very nicely done.

[@user-ic4tc2zk1y]

Hope you feel better soon ❤😊

[@darkshibe2044]

Now, you can use the dismembered BB victims for people that the monsters ate EDIT : I have an idea! You should get a pet bearded dragon and turn its terrarium into a diorama. It wouldn’t be smart to put little plastic people in it and the bearded dragon probably wouldn’t care, but it’d be the first time that your universe actually has a living “monster”. You could also make it an opportunity for viewers to come up with names for it. I came up with this idea because there was a time when my brother had a bearded dragon and I had made a couple Lego cacti for its cage

[@dmichealcooper2659]

You totally have the best imagination I love everything you're doing the imaginary West, if I lived in the imaginary West I would have a sharps Buffalo rifle railgun!😊

[@jessicabrauman]

Oh gosh, when I heard the words "I decided to freehand the design using the dremel" I had to wince. I would be terrified! I could never! But your design turned out so good for being freehanded, so it all worked out.

[@chloemeyers1855]

Love seeing when he uploads, everything is always so creative and i love learning more lore to the builds

[@OdysseyABMS]

youtube stopped notifying me when you would upload for awhile but i recently got back into hobby channels and im so glad to see all the new WIW stuff i get to watch what i love especially about your work is that not only are you making stunning pieces but youre using them to create a whole world filled to the brim with lore and i cant express how much i enjoy that because i do the same thing with 3d models for a game project i've been working on for like 7 years and i've never known about anyone else who does the same thing up until i found you

[@DocFleg]

The whole scene with the music and the slow zoom on the outlaws was brilliant.

[@mattdudley8862]

Looks awesome! Would love to see some custom boots with wires that link to the belt and battery and have them power electric spurs for the mule riders? Kinda like a key for a car

[@user-oq6ow9ef4k]

Keep it up! I love watching all your videos especially the wild imaginary west ones, They are very entertaining and I bet you have a lot of fun making them.

[@MuseumsBloke]

Awesome! Was hoping for a proper WIW Monster Turkey shoot, but this was pretty darn decent too. Get better soon!

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

This is like if the monster hunter games took place in the same universe as wild wild west.

[@benparadis3841]

Idk why I’ve not gotten notifications or seen your uploads but now binging from the griffin build to the swamp snake one I just watched!

[@carrie4910]

Very cool. It’s awesome to see a life size WIW build.

[@level98bearhuntingarmor]

Cool build, hope to see more outlandish fearsome critters in this world soon

[@goldenvalkyrie7142]

Wow, what a cool idea! I love the universe you've created, and as I've probably already said in previous comments, I can't wait to learn more about it!

[@YepImThatGuy66]

"You going to pull them pistols or just stand there and whistle Dixie..?" Great job!!!

[@Jay-ql4gp]

You shot there heads off! That revolver and holster are seriously cool.

[@user-rp8oh8ge7t]

Someone needs to make a movie or a movie series about the wild imaginary west or a tv series. Awesome project. Hope you get well soon

[@arrowrandoman]

No way, I thought you were just being cinematic. Anyway, I love watching this stuff. It helps me get excited for the project I'm working on for a local writing conference.

[@josiahsmith7250]

Would love to make “The Wild Imaginary West” into a mini series.

[@adamszki427]

really inspired and loving seeing this world come to life.... i would be interested to see your take on the classic cowboy hat/Stetson to see how you reimagine it to keep telling the story. perhaps some telekinesis based device that allows the gunslinger to control the monsters minds?

[@SamAccess7]

If electricity is the monster’s weakness, maybe larger towns create Tesla coils that fill the air with static in order to create monster free zones

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Always enjoy seeing a post from BHT. Good stuff. See you next week.

[@Mercheri9]

I wish i could sit around a campfire with Boylei and just chat about the west, Jesus, and life, seems like such an awesome guy

[@lorenharwood5137]

I would live in this place ! Great work !!

[@Tscendrik]

I have the same revolver (cuz im a huge western fan) and I have to say, now I really want mine to look exactly as cool as yours! Awesome build!🔥

[@thegreenonscreen]

I love revolvers!

[@WhyutDoStuff]

me too! i'm too young to own any though. My dad gave me a .22 though. I also own 5 different bb and airsoft revolvers 😂

[@darkhorse3535]

5:44 If the Wild Imaginary West takes place around the same time as the real wild west, jacketed bullets would be relatively expensive (It depends on how close it is to 1882 when FMJ was invented), otherwise most bullets would be unjacketed lead. Idk if that‘s something you‘d want to include in the lore or anything, I just thought that maybe it‘d help! Great video, I can‘t wait to see more!

[@Blibers]

This voiceover was Sick!

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

Just stumbled upon this channel and now a new sub. I've got a suggestion you might find interesting - replace the BBs with mini glowsticks! The dimensions are only slightly off. Can find 1in mini glowsticks or 1.5-1.7in mini glowsticks, and the diameter should be ~4mm with most standard BBs being about ~4.4mm. So with either minimal modification to the barrel/ammo cartridges, or the glowsticks, you'll be able to fire off glowing rounds for a raygun kind of effect.

[@fafilingdo]

This was really creative !!!

[@PKTCrafts]

Your world is really coming together man! Got to love the Vallejo Pigment powders 👌

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

You'll shoot your eye out kid!!! Very nice looking. It just hit me that all this is somewhat similar to Evil West, but with less vampires and profanities....

[@edibleapeman]

One suggestion: I think some kind of safety cover over the switch would be present here. Riding on horseback makes accidentally flipping the switch all but inevitable, and that would drain the batteries long before any monsters show up. Still, love your work XD

[@grandmoff.alligator]

love it! amazing vid as always

[@Galactic_Waffle]

This is fantastic! I do agree that maybe a bit more greebling would have been good, but it looks amazing! I have absolutely fallen in love with the WIW, thanks for the amazing content!

[@notfeedynotlazy]

Not so sure about it needing more greebling. This thing is a holster. It needs to WORK as a holster to be convincing. It _already_ got enough stuff around the "work area" of the gun; adding more would interfere with using the gun, and then it would no longer look like a monster hunter's gun, would look like a toy prop. Betwen that and the bullet loops, only area left for greeblies would be the actual buckle. Pimping the buckle is always an option, indeed, but the holster already _works_ (i.e., it looks _convincing)_ as it is.

[@rinnie720]

I would love to see some sort of melee weapon like a machete that's electrified or something similar

[@guilhermecordeiro379]

it looks amazing, great job! i would like to see you make bow with that same theme

[@mikebaldo2321]

Your videos and stories are awesome. If you are going to use a dremel alot check out the Dremel Flexible Shaft (225) it makes for holding a smaller and lighter tool and check out the Dremel Dust Blower (490) it attaches on the end of your dremel and keeps the area you are dremeling clean.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

After the comment for the jokes, a comment for the useful tips: _flexible_ superglue (like Ceys Power Flex or similar ones, the kind meant to glue elastic rubber) is incredible to glue leather. Regular superglue is rigid and cracks when the leather flexes, or worse, makes the leather to crack around the glued area. Flexible superglue, on the other hand, bonds leather to itself, or to rigid materials, so eficiently that the joined pieces will never separate. I used to use it for quick "field fixes" to broken reenactment gear (including sheaths, belts and scabbards), but discovered the fixes were solid and clean enough to count as permanent repairs!
