How to Make a Geode Crystal Mine Miniature Art

[@skullkid5686]

I really like how there isn’t a featured monster in this build- the oversized crystals, the generally isolated/claustrophobic vibe of the miners in such a contained, unexplored space, and the suggested depth of the cave (as well as what might live within it 👀) make it sort of contextually eerie as opposed to highlighting a specific threat. Fantastic work as always!! Can’t wait to see what you do next!!

[@justinblin]

To me, at least, the entire cave almost seems like the monster that’s swallowing the miners

[@SlayertheDandyMan]

Same, I saw the thumbnail and it look like a monster posing as a mine

[@deethwarrior]

Ummmmm is it meant to be spooky????

[@epickingedward7378]

Pov minecraft

[@countryfriedminis]

The little lantern is absolutely adorable, and contributes so much to the immersion in this scene. What a fun build!

[@earlware4322]

Agreed! I am amazed at how bright that teeny-tiny led was. Even with studio lighting you could see its glow on the miners and the surrounding amethyst. Until the final shots I was thinkimg he needed to backlight the crystals or some way to get more light/glow into the diorama.

[@TheTrueSignpost]

I think you still should have turned all the external lights off for at least one shot of just the lamp.

[@purplemosasaurus5987]

Using the amethyst crystals was so creative, and when the crystals reflect the light from the lantern, it looked so good. It's similar to the amethyst geodes in Minecraft.

[@Sarumouse]

Just amazing how the whole scale changes once you put the humans in! And the lighting is just sooo nice.

[@meiken417]

Agreed the LEDs are amazing wish I knew how haha

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

Just one more lantern would light up the rest of the cave beautifully.

[@Redfern42]

Yeah, that's something that could not be achieved when I was a kid during the 70s. At that time, the tiniest lighting solutions were incandescent "grain of wheat" and "grain of rice" bulbs that would have been almost half the size of the figurines used here.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

This turned out amazing! Plus, I'm pretty sure just having it on display it has the added effect of rebalancing your energies.

[@jessicaodomwilkie7580]

First

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Man! That was awesome! The lantern was definitely a nice touch! The “teeth” on the top and bottom look really cool as well, almost as if the cave has a mouth.

[@apexminiatures528]

This actually looks so good. The real crystals make it look so good instead of fake ones. Good job love what you do

[@apexminiatures528]

@melissaridings1290 hey

[@teamarcaniun336]

Yes yes yes always a nice Sunday treat

[@minigocreator]

The light of the flashlight makes my heart flutter🤤😄

[@magicreate5940]

Absolutely stunning! This thumbnail really caught my eye, the real amethysts really add a kinda magical sense too it as well as make it pop. Makes me feel like I’m inside that cave myself, gazing in awe at the huge crystals around me. The warm light supplied by the lantern really compliments the amethysts too. Great job, can’t wait to see the rest of the Wild Imaginary West series, it’s been awesome so far, keeps getting better and better!

[@seyyedamirir4977]

I wasn't sure about how it would look at the beginning, but it turned out great.

[@DiggerPrints0814]

Looks so good, was waiting for some red eyes to appear in the darkness.......

[@DRToysCreations]

🔥🔥🔥 The dry brushing on the rocks looks amazing and I love the lantern light reflection on the crystals! Also “plaster recessing gum line”. 😂😂😂 Love it!

[@MilkyClayGALAXY]

It is one of the most wonderful creations I have ever seen

[@kaewierdoni4640]

I really enjoy how you managed to make the cave itself seem monstrous without needing a monster

[@ralphoto8466]

Wow one of the best models I have ever seen

[@poopybutt2824]

Babe wake up boylei hobby time made a new video

[@_Anakin_Skywalker]

Oh, it's beautiful.

[@jeccalou9894]

I'm just... wow. Seriously blown away by how good this turned out. With all the bits and pieces I wasn't sure you'd get them to look so seamless. And that little lantern makes the crystals glow so nicely.

[@Opalisk_]

I'd love to see more of like underground theme of the wild west

[@CthonicSoulChicken]

Definitely. Mines, caverns, mining camps IN caverns, all kinds of fascinating things to explore.

[@the_junk_shop]

Same, maybe some kind of train tunnel diorama? Mole people?

[@theolddragon2830]

I didn’t even realize until he added people it was Wild West I thought it was just a cool rock they saw at a museum

[@MisterMeaner3000]

He did do a mine a while back.

[@mqrx]

Same

[@Tylermac364]

I don’t know where in the rabbit hole that is KZbin I found you but I’m glad I did. Your videos are mad entertaining and super sick. You should do something military.

[@nchanin]

Love the Beau Jo’s reference!

[@mistac5050]

This is completely amazing. It turned out beautiful. The illuminated lantern is the cherry on top.

[@gameyybuilds]

It’s fun watching you experiment with new materials. I wouldn’t have thought of ever using amethyst in a build!

[@MadeInFranceASMR]

Love this one! Incredible colors

[@paintswithlead7517]

My favorite video so far!

[@ronbrumble6493]

That lantern really makes this whole diarama. Looks fantastic as always.

[@animatedstudios4041]

just woke up and was happy you uploaded. starting my day with a good vibe :)

[@TheKrisg50]

It’s one thing to have the skills to build these dioramas, it’s a whole other thing to have the vision to see the story and scene. Well done.

[@toodlesX14]

This is such a fantastic build! I was just thinking about making a crystalline diorama yesterday, but it never occurred to me to use real crystals. The little lamp light refracting around the cave looks stunning.

[@katiewaterrose]

I absolutely love how this turned out! It's just beautiful. The glow from Beau Jo's little lantern is a perfect addition. Bravo sir. Bravo.

[@frankierzucekjr]

The little light makes this. Great idea all around

[@evac.705]

The added LED really adds some sparkle and depth to the cave!

[@bettsdn]

Wow. The scale change. The lighting. The whole concept. Just a 10/10.

[@annbrookens945]

Oh, VERY good! This is beautiful... and no monsters! Those miners are soooo lucky!

[@logansfury]

I don't know what is more impressive, the images you envision or your ability to craft them from the ground up. These miniature pieces of art you create are amazing and the video of the creation process is fascinating.

[@trevorwelsh3946]

I would love to see a GIANT mineshaft diorama that connects your previous mining builds and makes it feel like a connected vein.

[@paulguthrie4857]

Beat me to it!

[@Gandalf_Goes_Hard]

Always love a new Boylei video

[@codeearth9820]

I love how the light hits the crystals around it, it's very pleasing

[@bluedog843]

I always love the LED lights you add to your builds. They add another layer of depth that isn’t seen many times elsewhere

[@lucindaharmsen6265]

WoW realy Nice

[@flyingkage]

So glad that you showed it to us in the dark. It brings out that slight 'horror' of being in a place too dark.

[@OdonataOfficial]

This is by far my favorite in the wild west series.

[@guleri]

This looks real good, with the real crystals you get a shine to it that can't be painted on. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@Alan2E0KVRKing]

Awesome build, the light from the LED lights the crystals up lovely!

[@lucpar23]

Cool diorama. The geode is a surprise base but now I'm like, "duh"...how perfect. The lantern is perfection

[@voodrin]

That little light really made a difference with the build ... awesome job.

[@sebastienruhlmann3917]

Awesome blend of colors between paint and crystals 😃

[@pheonix-rosedockrill]

I’m a crystal collector and amethyst is my fav crystal!! I absolutely love this

[@CthonicSoulChicken]

Fantastic. This is the kind of thing that always stood out in model train boards. A mining scene within a mountain, adding a little wonder to a spot of the diorama that was usually blank and empty. Good stuff.

[@9daywonda]

Great work. The finished miners all long remarkably like Freddy Kruger.

[@Daniel-oh2ug]

It's always a really cathartic moment seeing the final product and how the lights work so well! Awesome piece, as always.

[@Ohraff]

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I love the little light inside

[@jenskarlsson80]

Thats awesome! Just the feeling you get from being in a cave like that, really feeds the imagination 🙂

[@renegadetla9331]

The spooky hole in the back is perfect, it lends so much depth and makes your mind fill in what it thinks could be there. Beautiful and somehow spooky!

[@philRminiatures]

What a fabulous destiny for an amethyst! Inspired and gorgeous!!😍😍👍

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

pure Genius! That turned out sooooooo goood! That lantern makes it x1000

[@konoikurozora5851]

This is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to see more natural rocks or metals used in your builds from time to time!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Awesome display of natural geode to boot 👍👍

[@KalashAesthetic]

The crystals look so pretty. And of course the whole build is amazing.

[@GermanNightmare1976]

♥ the little lyrics quote added in. Nice touch and strait to the feels.

[@nomaddamon2001]

You blended the real crystals into the surrounding rocks so well. It all feels so nicely cohesive. And the LEDs always bring the pieces to life, especially in this case with the light bouncing off the crystals.

[@dero4378]

I love this. I think this is so far my favorite build from the Wild Imaginary West.

[@z0eshi]

The concept of this is simple but still blows my mind on how much effort you put into every project, absolutely addicted to your channel, keep it up!

[@birchthefox8499]

what an amazing little diorama, i want to see more people using crystals in their own personal way like what you have done

[@agenda3854]

YES, HE DID IT!!!

[@Shatterpath]

Man, this is a beautiful set! A pair of dim red lights in the darkest corner of that hollow would have added to the touch of fear of that black place.

[@funnymahem]

Missed opportunity to make the cave Neo Cortex fell into in Crash 2.

[@lionessoftor4139]

Another amazing build. The Imaginary Wild West is my favorite!

[@katmom49]

Wow!

[@TheDragonQueensLair]

This looks super cool. I love how the light plays against the purple of the amethyst

[@E_Platypus_Unum]

Stunning. When you dipped the piece forward and we could see the light illuminating the cavern it made me really wish you had done a few shots with the overhead light off

[@MB-st7be]

loved this

[@JonSteitzer]

Very fresh and original addition to the weird wild west

[@Papasmurf193]

It looks great

[@faithcantrell8378]

This might be my favorite WIW build so far!!

[@marksayers8867]

You're work is really awesome . The ideas about the alternative West would make an amazing movie ! Amazing imagination and skill .

[@ryanharris2167]

Wow! This gives me Dark Crystal vibes! I love it!

[@stiftarcory4364]

This is so simply but has such a dramatic impact, great job!

[@scottphillipy9831]

Pretty amazing my friend. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@angelx9724]

i bet that looks great in the dark with the lantern on. So pretty!

[@elitster]

Great!

[@Ojoperdiz]

Awesome

[@mommakhajiit9317]

This came out SO good!! Completely blown away! 🤯🤯

[@nathanvilla3339]

Such a fantastically looking place! It looks like somewhere you’d want to visit!

[@fantasticbrit3515]

The crystals looked amazing with your rock work.

[@AndrewKuntzman]

Wow that’s amazing. Turned out great

[@0_killjoy_078]

The "true" light reflections from the lantern add such a realistic touch! As noted previously, when you added the miners the scale altered, and the lighting absolutely sold it! Great work on the Imaginary West.

[@dpswets]

Stunning diorama with the light effect on the crystals. Very beautiful!

[@gargapapa1867]

yeah the void hole in the back really brings up some scary dimension, good job !

[@ejansen6969]

I really like the use of the real amethyst crystals that is super cool!!!

[@GanjjaCat]

The way the light illuminates off the geodes in low light at the end there was astounding. Amazing build man!

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Sooooooo pretty! Shiny, sparkly. I saw a video of someone putting small cotton wads between rocks and then using super glue to glue rocks together. Beau-Jo never dissapoints. The end result looks fabtastolous!

[@RetroRoboland]

Very clever build. Gems great. Lighting great.

[@iusedtomosh]

Genuinely think this is the best one yet! The light from the miners lantern really makes this look awesome!

[@ornfreetaa2887]

I am blown away by how awesome this is. Nothing else inspires me the way your builds do. Thank you!

[@SmexHex]

You could make a mineshaft in the western town with miners bringing up crystals via mine cart with a small tent hub nearby

[@heather4142]

This turned out awesome! The addition of the little lamp is perfect, and the "teeth" in the front look great.

[@CrabOfDoom]

Utterly gorgeous.

[@kessone3400]

This is one of the Coolest dioramas I've ever seen! Love the use of real crystals! 🔮
