How to Make Star Wars Scale Models More Fun

[@wallabaatar]

It takes an expert craftsman to make a diorama look like it’s 1:1, and Boylei, you’re as good as Ive seen. Awesome build!

[@esmemayich3595]

Best comment ever

[@PClizard]

this video is exactly why the original trilogy was the best, miniatures and special effects

[@darthkek1953]

Plot Twist, it is indeed 1:1 scale and Boylei is a jötunn.

[@MoonfireXD]

Oh man that final footage of the ship being placed down made me think how cool that whole thing would be as a custom wireless phone charger. Place your phone down, lights turn on and it starts charging :o

[@jcombass53]

Now that you mentioned it….that does sound really cool! 😄

[@alienfac32]

might need him to make a diorama phone charger.

[@BaseDeltaZero1972]

Boyel's narration is always friendly, relaxed and informal...clicking on his vids is always a chill experience. 👍

[@havoc5756]

Bob Ross vibes

[@calelastyles825]

I play his videos to sleep. It works every time ❤

[@Albenhart]

Boylei

[@hazelnut747]

Maybe the best Star Wars diorama you've ever made! I think it's one of my favorites and I would love to see more in a larger scale!

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding video, build and presentation.

[@Nat1videos]

Love the oil washes on the rocks, those colours just look amazing! So natural :D

[@BasicPaul]

This is one of my fave older vids.

[@mattcouey2572]

Me and my 10 month old watch the boylei hobby time every Sunday morning! I have to say we both get a little giddy for Star Wars projects. Love this one!

[@cadehol]

The Y-Wing is absolutely one of my favorite ships from the OT, and I love the paint job you gave it!! Great work man!! 🫡

[@cameronwalton5858]

Star Wars ship landing pads are probably my favorite type of model kit to put together. Great build!

[@ethanedwards7834]

It looks awsome!

[@garyperkins2345]

Your skill as a craftsman is unreal. But your usage of led's in your builds truly elevates them to an entirely new level. I keep coming back to your videos because of the led's. Truly top tier youtube content, video's like this is what youtube should be about

[@ducatisti]

You are, absolutely, the KING of lighting. Amazing build, but seriously, the magnet idea is flipping genius and takes this to a galaxy far, far away. Brilliant.

[@Luca-ub3tq]

I love the idea of integrading magnets into the build to start the lights! The invisible switches make the whole project come togetehr so well

[@graefx]

Definitely saving this to reference the rock and lighting. The magnet switch really makes this come alive. I love that little extra bit of playability

[@davidbarwick2078]

What i like most about your modelmaking is that you use things that are, relativley, easy for the average modeler to have or aquire. Rarely a 3D printer in sight. My nearest hobby store is 6 hours drive away so most modeling has to be done with whats on hand.

[@qalak7782]

That looks amazing!! The magnet light reveal was so good!!

[@weihnachtsmann7699]

What a genius idea to use the magnet under the model for switching the lights on and off.

[@Leescreativeart]

This one was magical. I’m on my morning walk and the moment you placed the y wing on the platform and all the lights engaged…. This child like smile crept and then sprinted across my face!!! So so so cool. I need to try the magnet trick for my own projects now. ❤❤❤❤

[@hudsonball4702]

The Y-Wing was always my most favorite Star Wars fighter.

[@ericsainte290]

This Is one of the best star wars dioramas I have ever seen. The Y-wing is really nicely done, but it's the landing pad, the rocks and lighting that makes it even better. With the water painted red to simulate lava and a Tie advanced or an imperial shuttle and you'd have a Mustafar diorama...

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

Boylei is here & as always he brought Sunday with him. Accidental discovery = Eureka is a Game changer. Wündabar Mineral spirits are important, odorless even more so. Sometimes out of focus hands help for content. It's okay.

[@christiankreuzig1098]

Man, seriously, this is so beautiful. This is heart and soul of the galaxy far far away. I'm just imagining what kind of adventure this pilot is facing :) Thanks for sharing

[@robertschorry1052]

Very well done and an inspired diorama base for the Y-wing.

[@oisinholz]

This build is phenomenal! So simple but so well done. Looks outstanding, and the forethought to with the magnets in other potential ships is genius! 10/10 as always

[@krzysztofmathews738]

The compass scoring technique is an excellent discovery!

[@raymondo162]

a compass 'with two pointy ends' ........ is called a set of dividers ..............

[@jordanjones2046]

I couldn't agree more... Those are the most realistic rock tones I've ever seen! Awesome job and great video!

[@remigrare1067]

Waouh!!!! Amazing build!!! New lighting system is just awesome!!! Always a pleasure to watch your video!!!

[@davidsamford4711]

That's so great! I love how the Y-Wing engages the lights. You should make a phone charging base like that. Or an amazing Star Wars charging dock for your laptop!

[@CraigPoulsen-r9y]

I love seeing the way you expand the Star Wars universe, don’t stop! It’s super inspirational for us legion/diorama types.

[@CTDioramas]

Dude! This is hands down my favourite Star Wars build so far! There's just something about a well painted Y-Wing. Great job, as always 👍

[@jacobhorne1112]

Love the resinless water! Honestly looks amazing

[@TheLetterbomber]

This is absolutely gorgeous! The weathering was the most fun part, you absolutely nailed it. I'd love to see you do a sequel to this build sometime, maybe a U-wing or something with a different location along the seaside? Excited to see what's next!

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Dang, C. I love your imagination. The compass-scoring trick on polystyrene is genius! Also, the washes on the rocks came out fantastic. Your lighting is as always... inspiring. Killer work!

[@lunap7029]

The things you think up for your models every week just blow me away. Thank you for sharing your craft!

[@InterstellarModeler]

Wonderfully creative. The hardest part for me is coming up with the idea of the display. You make it look so easy. Congrats on another beautiful build.

[@xgymratx83]

You make this look so fun. Always enjoy watching your builds.

[@chandlerchandelier]

I love the colors on the rock formations! Great job!

[@kvader]

I love and hate how effortless you make this look.

[@davidtorok8388]

This is one of my favourtie videos. Y wings are one of the ships i love the most in star wars

[@jfragale03]

The magnetic lights, while simple, are cool as hell!

[@garzilla7123]

I gotta say my two favorite fighters of all the Star Wars fighters ships are the X-Wing and the Y-Wing, and you never see enough of the Y-Wing, so this was a great build my friend. And the rock formation paint is beautiful. That is also such a cool way you lit the landing pad up and braced it with the original stand it legit looks like it was meant to be used that way. 👍👍👍

[@jackneiner7322]

I think this is my favorite build you’ve done. I know I’m 10months late here but still. You really captured what I like about star wars. This would be a great sene in any SW movie! What an inspiration your vids are. Thanks a lot, keep it up, and keep looking UP.

[@nathancollier6182]

Your builds continue to get more seamless each week. You’re a true craftsman in this field!

[@leaverpool8059]

That magnet switch is great! Now I have an idea for my library shelf, thanks 😂!

[@patrikhjorth3291]

That was beautiful. Understated, but not underwhelming. I'm still waiting for those chupacabra mermaids, though.

[@stevestogsdill5791]

Well done. Thanks for giving the Y-Wing some love.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Well done. Nice interactive use of the reed switch.

[@MCMXCI42]

Easily your best Star Wars build yet, love the rock painting technique!! The simplicity and smoothness of the magnetic lighting effect is just mind blowing, excited to see where you take it next!

[@pr0digalsun]

I am always in awe of how good your builds are. You do a great job of making it look effortless.

[@wAwCreator]

as always. Toys become more beautiful and attractive than ever through your magical hands

[@jasonshiers5771]

That was awesome when them landing lights come on it actually made me smile.

[@mrknittle532]

Your content, skill, and creativity are always impressive, but you outdid yourself with your calming voice and naming the paint colors. You became the kit bashing Bob Ross.

[@wolfgangschumann8710]

I am speechless. What a fantastic work.

[@clappy33]

Reeling off the colours for the oil washes it sounded like the start of joy of painting with Bob Ross. Excellent video as always

[@joelconway8517]

The lights and sensor are a brilliant dynamic touch!

[@HolyCowCreates]

Awesome project Boylei, always an inspiration. As always much to learn from your techniques, but also just great fun to sit back and watch and admire the results.

[@mrluisr]

wow, just blew my mind introducing me to magnetic reed switches. you are on another level my friend!

[@Ricardo-go7yu]

Beautiful. I can look at your videos all day long.

[@xellosmakuzo2586]

I love watching these builds, they’re so cool and calming

[@MRgrimlock84]

This is one of my favorites thus far! Keep up the fantastic work, good sir!

[@AviationPhotog]

Another phenomenal build, love the star wars dioramas

[@wally81000]

Would love to see something done with a Sandcrawler.

[@stephencase5160]

You have definitely upped your painting game sine I first started watching your channel. It's good to see you continuing to learn and try new techniques.

[@stephenullman4534]

Those rocks and outcrops are definitely looking good! As usual, awesome work. The lighting adds so very much to the overall look!

[@hedgyhedgy]

I am always up for watching Boylei's videos no mater my mood he is always so calm and his art is amazing.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very well done. Simple, clean but with a ton of details

[@calumdowse864]

Love the custom paint job on the Y wing!

[@hazonku]

That was awesome. I REALLY like how those rocks came out. As someone who painted rocks for Galaxy's Edge I appreciate the effort you put into the rocks.

[@diwright8716]

Amazing! The oil wash part blew me away. Purple drops, then blue drops, then boom! Rock color.

[@johncook538_modelwerks]

Very nice! That's a really nice diorama you've got there, gives the ship a great background to sit on.

[@ThrawnsClone]

Maybe my favorite one yet. Amazing finish

[@bazzatron9482]

Looks incredible B. I was surprised by how natural those rocks looked when you were done, all those very saturated reds and blues really worked!

[@ScoobaSteve451]

Well done! I especially like the lighting on this one, and the paint is spot on.

[@paulguthrie4857]

Y-Wing, for some reason, has always been my favorite starfighter...I have no clue why... excellent dio. Thank you!

[@grandmoff.alligator]

i dont have the words to describe how beautifully well done this is

[@Quiz_NETV]

Wow... Great! I can make it with graphics... but I'm really jealous of making it with a real model. What a skill!

[@Hawper_]

Those are some of the most gorgeous rocks I've ever seen in a diorama. One of my favorite videos from you, wow!

[@XxEvolutionMCxX]

This has gotta be some of the best work to come from this channel. The rock coloration is mildly mind-blowing. Superb diorama!

[@henrikfalkner6619]

Awesome build as always. You are so talented and have a great eye for details. Not to mention a the humour in your commentary - always a pleasure to hear. Well done mate!

[@FrazerBennett]

This looks absolutely amazing. I was into AirFix as a kid, so this brings back those memories of intricate paint brush detailing. Now, as a Star Wars Lego fan, I am very keen to replicate this in Lego form!

[@keith_makes_stuff]

Your skill set is just going from strength to strength. I love all your creations, but I’ve a soft spot for the old Y-wing, so this is magnificent to behold! Thanks for sharing.

[@baleksander000]

Awesome build, great video. Excellent theme and execution. I’m always learning tips and tricks from your builds, so thank you. Keep up the great work. More videos/builds like this, please.

[@flynnmckee8442]

Twas not expecting to see today what is probably one of my favorite of your builds! Looks amazing.

[@Dysiode]

Reeeeally nice! The water turned out way better than I would have guessed what with all the poured resin water everyone does. I feel the Black 4.0 helps it feel dark and deep. Love the magnetic switches you've been using recently too. One day people are going to be UTTERLY baffled by how to turn them on and I think that's just wonderful

[@phil73805]

I think this might be my favourite build yet. Beautiful work!

[@CaptainShack]

This looks fantastic. Well done.

[@cabe_bedlam]

Always amazed at your creativity, another great build.

[@ricardovazpereira7207]

Amazing build! This fighter is one of my favourites! Great build ,!keep em coming!

[@thenymphomancer5592]

It’s been cool to follow this guy for so long and seeing how he’s improving on an already great skill set.

[@precioushobbytime]

the rock color scheme is *chefs kiss* - just amazing. just like the rest of the build and all your builds too. thanks for that video.

[@herbveitenhans3285]

Very nice, probably one of the nicer builds you’ve made lately.

[@petelawson3670]

Straight mindblowing. Love your work.

[@jonathancorley2414]

You must have nothing but time. Another awesome build.

[@annbrookens945]

It was amazing to see the lights come on when you set the ship on the landing pad! And the rocks look really beautiful!

[@MrMagicchrisi]

Another beautiful and Inspring build!

[@concernedcitizen1395]

very enjoyable watching you do your magic

[@dpswets]

Absolutely loving this one! Makes me want to see a Star Wars air base like seen in the Mandalorian filled with Y-wings, X-wings and other craft.

[@Andwesaybyebye]

Love the song throughout and cinematic choices made on this video. Thank you for another great build!

[@lynnelewis9605]

Wow great job the light makes it stand out.x
