Check Out My New Logging Mech!

#WildWest #Diorama #MECH
This week, I built another mech for my wild western world. It's the same class as the Wandering Watchtower Mech I built last year, but this variant was customized for use in logging operations. It was inspired by a suggestion from my friend, Max.
I get my miniature foliage from Diorama Presepe: www.dioramapresepe.com/en/

Its funny, the tank hull is a sherman tank, historically they put wood on the sides like you did sometimes to counter magnetic tank mines

[@killianharrah3745]

Like how the germans put that weird paste on their tanks for the same purpose.

[@DarkHunterjohn8]

I think it also served as more armour so enemies wouldnt be able to destroy the treads as easy

[@siy1580]

When it came to adding logs to the tanks it was done for 2 reasons 1st one was the more practical which is a anti diching log that can get the tank out of mud when it's stuck, the 2nd reason was as extra armor in all reality it didn't help at all mostly giving the crew the feeling better protection, and at best it would have a chance at defecting a poorly aimed panzerfaust.

[@AlbertoDsign]

@@killianharrah3745 IIRC zimmerit wasn't to separate the magnetic mines from the metal, but to shake them off due to the vibrations of the vehicle.

[@killianharrah3745]

@@AlbertoDsign that's good to know. Thanks for the information.

[@JagoHazzard]

This is great. I love the sort of weird and wonderful machines that were used for logging in the real world, and this totally captures the feel of those.

[@phoebe_trss9632]

Hello Jago!

[@adiuntesserande6893]

What a surprise finding my favourite London rail historian here!

[@ryanparker4996]

This is a 10/10 crossover my good man

[@herrakaarme]

The Timberjack company actually made, back in the day, a functional six-legged walking harvester prototype. I believe it was inferior to the wheeled ones in pretty much every way, especially the speed, so it never became a produced vehicle for the market. You can still find videos of it in action, though. And it's indeed terribly slow.

[@jasonmanley5287]

Looks great! The base would’ve looked cool with a few cut tree stumps to suggest ongoing logging ops.

[@Ben-Carr]

That would have been a nice touch. The saw mech should have some on the base.

[@josesoria2072]

I imagine the next one with a path of them, that would be nice

[@exitsignman5348]

Maybe he could make a second diorama that attaches behind this one with another mech that Carry’s logs

[@LightsCameraAnts]

I love how realistic everything actually looks! Great job man!

[@LaserGadgets]

Next year you will need 2 gaming tables for all those lil masterpieces!

[@69adrummer]

When you mentioned a saw I thought "wow!!" I could see this with a "swinging saw" for felling trees but could be in a fight with a monster trying to attack the logging crew out on a job somewhere! A swinging saw like the one used below our modern helicopters to trim the right-of-ways along large power transmission lines!!

[@SabrinasWorkshop]

I love seeing the imaginary wild west expand! The challenge was sooo much fun and all the builds turned out amazing. 🤠

[@haruka6844]

me too it's my favorite craft series he makes xD

[@KnarbMakes]

Hell yeah, great mech Caleb. Wonderful watching this come together with my Sunday coffee.

[@mofotos]

Love the Wild West theme! Great work, love the community builds too!

[@brianchristyb]

These videos are so relaxing to watch to wind down from the day. I just wanted to say, how I love how everything looks cobbled together, granted that will happen when using different models and media, but it adds to the story telling. No singular construct looks likes like it was made in a factory. Parts might have been, but the end result feels like the builders were figuring it out as they went.

[@watermelonhelmet6854]

The "Anybody? No? Dust." caught me off guard. Congratulations, sir.

[@northmcqueary6608]

The wild imaginary west is my favorite series, its truly amazing! I feel like it would be awesome to see if maybe there is like a secret mech in development that fights monsters head on and could possibly be made by the Pinkertons in like a sort of workshop far from the town so no one knows

[@URBOIPHONE]

It be sick if you made some kind of hunter going through a forest in the rainy night with some huge monster lurking in the shadows. I love these wild imaginary west crafts!

[@timmason3988]

What I do not understand is how this man paints in all the little nooks and crevices that come from gluing down unpainted figures and greeblies and yet gets such clean lines and fine detail. Truly a master.

[@howdepressing2495]

idk why other diorama makers dont have my full attention unlike this channel. 10 mins is just *cheffs kiss*

[@penguinista]

I love how well integrated the driver and the crane operator are in the action of the mech.

[@tcemedic100]

Love the Biggest Mech yet, I call it awesome and amazing. Shout out to the Patreons Mech, looking good!!!

[@debbralehrman5957]

You can see your patrons really get their inspiration while watching your videos. Very impressive work from all of you.👍🏻

[@PKTCrafts]

I find that when something fails, it still always end up looking good, because you have to add more and more layers to hide whats already done, and layers makes it look richer. Great job as always!

[@BlondieHound1]

God, these wild imaginary west videos always make me want to write stories in your world. Or to add the mechs and ideas to my own world. I haven't had this amount of sparked inspiration in a while. Man thank you.

[@nurulnatasha2216]

The fact that you use your creativity to make the robot legs is cool. I cannot have the same mindset as yours

[@reedy446]

My friend recommended this channel to me because I like Star Wars but now I can’t stop watching every video you have, I have probs binged around 30-40 videos of yours. Your skill and commentary make the video really fun to watch. Keep it up !!

[@MCMXCI42]

Holy crap, the full set of walkers look so great together at the end! Phenomenal work man, love this series!

[@williamporter7596]

It's fascinating how all those odd elements combine to make a cohesive whole model. Good work!

[@cliffwood7386]

Love the colors - with the shading and drybrushing they tie into the "realism" of the world, but still provide good visual interest. Well done as always!

[@windingclover3562]

I'm really loving the fantastical world your creating. Especially the town, different mechs, the damn monsters that roam this western world. I think a look at the military would be interesting, all we've seen are civilian mechs, and while they are big and intimidating I'd imagine a union mech would tower over. Whether their would be to repel native tribes, protect forts or towns from monster attacks. Hell, I imagine the union could utilize the mechs and have like, walking forts just roaming the countryside. Idk, just rambling. Love what you do man.

[@meganoverby4321]

Have you thought about doing a large wild western diorama? I think a landscape with several different things going on would be really cool.

[@johannisson77]

I am so glad that you channel is growing, been here since the video "Then vs Now". You deserve all the praise you get! Love the slightly dry humor and the western series and star wars builds are so good. Keep it up! I am enjoying every video!

[@truthlesslouw]

My favorite Sunday activity

[@Raw-Yamato]

I honestly don't know how he does it. You're simply a god Mr Boylei, another amazing build to the collection.

[@buggoroni_animations9297]

Hey Boylei! I love your vids , I watch them as soon as they come out , this is amazing . I know it sounds crazy but you actually got me into stopmotion , due to the whole dioramas and clay sculpting junk , I found out what claymation was and found my hobby in lego stopmotion, I just want to say thank you, you made my future career Without knowing it. I hit 10 subs yesterday and it's all thanks to you, thank you for being an amazing person.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

I love your imagination, C! Also, nice post production FX with that motion tracked text. : ) The logging mech came out beautiful. You have great taste.

[@felixallstarbass7663]

I'd love to see some more mash up builds eg star wars X assassin creed or something like that. Love the video

[@TheSnailfeeder]

Big Armadillo. I imagine there is some monsters that are like gentle gaints. Maybe a few hunters walking by it?

[@aidelaer2017]

Please make a video explaining the rules of your universe, I think it’s very interesting, and want to write something with the rules of your universe, so please, I’d really appreciate that. Also love your work!

[@JessieorQuinn]

Honestly there's something about this wild western universe that makes it scary yet peaceful and with the mechs almost majestic and beautiful. It's Honestly such a great universe.

[@minustaco42zero24]

This world just keeps getting better and better

[@jst1man]

I like watching your creation so much I became a Patron! It never gets old and I even share it with my students!

[@kinoko6096]

Your mech builds are so cool!! Can’t wait for more of this series.

[@invaderoz]

Here's me imagining model kits I could buy from your weird wild west world. On my coffee table an accompanying artbook with background information, pictures and stuff ,😂

[@mistac5050]

Man, another fine addition to your wild imaginary west. Love how the ropes turned out wrapped around the legs and such a beautiful paint job on the mech. Looking forward to what's next!

[@Ytcontrivedcone69]

You should make a sunken pirate ship with a kraken. I think that would be dope. Keep up the good work

[@SH-qs7ee]

Another cool wild west mech. When you make the saw-mech to go along with it, maybe you can make a sawmill/lumber camp to match it and your wild west town too.

[@samsonite1224]

Its wild wild west here!

[@rushhour7170]

You should totally do some type of abandoned overgrown mech or vehicle! Covered in moss or fungi, buried deep in the forrest, left to be forgotten… could be pretty neat!

[@kappa6109]

All these builds have inspired me to do my own Wild Imaginary West display.

[@mixererunio1757]

You can burn strings with a torch a little so that they look better in scale. But as usual wonderful build, mechs are my favourite.

[@geophrie8272]

Ive love to see a little worker in so sketchy AF power armour with a saw as a logger. Also this setting would make a good survival game

[@IWillRock2021]

This guy is always finding himself at the lobby store, love the work!

[@carrie4910]

Nice! I love how you can just add bits here and there and boom! Mech!

[@bwop3369]

I really loved the use of extra colours this week! Super cool to see the final shot of this “family” of creations too, keep up the beautiful work mate

[@BPCustomCreations]

I really relate to the part where you didn't know what you were doing for the base ground! I never know what to do for earthy tones! Great mech!!

[@Dingo_Winterwolf]

Black Armor from the Space Engineers community made your tundra mech. Nothing like the best mech engineer building one of your designs in game! Was awesome to see it in motion.

[@dtksoulchaser1]

You could have a couple guys on the ground cutting, and these rad mechs doing the lifting. These turned out so good. Being a millwright, I’m always drawing stuff like this and weird tools etc, so, it’s really cool to see someone make something like this. Badass man. Cheers.

[@irish3335]

Love the comparison at the end of your other builds, you definitely have a wonderful style and standard, great to see you bring them to life!

[@wbcundiff]

If those mech legs are made of wood there would be mechwrights selecting trees as ideal timber for mech legs. You'd then have logs that had been sawn into large slabs laying in yards where mechwrights shape them with broadaxes and adzes. Kinda love the idea of seeing little people hand hewing giant cocktail forks from rough timber.

[@burroamoroso]

Thank you for the "Dust" reference - you clearly have a good sens of humor!

[@vulcher7927]

I wish someone would actually make a movie or something of your western universe So cool

[@GogglesTyresandTrainers]

Great build as always Boylei.. and I love the Little Britain reference!

[@paulguthrie4857]

You never fail to entertain! Thank you for sharing your skills with us! I actually liked the fact you included the setback, you are truly talented, but it's nice to know you're human as well ;) Thanks again!

[@euansmith3699]

This mech looks ideal for any outlaws looking to make off with a heavy safe.

[@gargapapa1867]

Man I just failed the exam i worked 24/7 for for the last 4 years so you better not stopping doing your videos because I don't planned to lose anything else in my life at short notice

[@nickademuss42]

if you ever want to make your string look more like rope, pull it through some bees wax, its the only way to make scale ships look great! Love this channel and the builds.

[@kokonutkolaiah]

i have bin watching you for over a year and you never fail 😁😁😁😄😄😄

[@christoffermonikander2200]

Love the red cab. Makes it look more real somehow.

[@garzilla7123]

I have to say every time your videos end I have a smile on my face they always looks so awesome when they are done. Another Great Build.

[@tylerhikara2905]

Finally a new upload. Getting fed up with hospital shifts. Your videos always helped me with stress :)

[@Benjaminsmith6723]

this is one of the best dioramas I have ever seen

[@karengilchrist9774]

I love the Wild Imaginary West! Another awesome Mech. Thanks!

[@philtobin9510]

Don't worry, I got the reference. You can eat as much dust as you like. Love your builds....the Bob Ross of stuff building...building stuff.

[@owenmcalevey7206]

You should definetely make a pirate ship being attacked by the kraken I think it would be really cool

[@xKarma_411]

I'm really enjoying this wild-west mech series

[@Visigoth_]

Aww... the crane operator gets a cab, but not the driver (time to unionize!). 😉

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

Oh gosh! Another one. Just keep them coming, this is so much fun. Looking forward to the builds you do, mainly because you scratch build so much and let your imagination run wild...

[@crawbag0311]

That's great! I like the addition of colors. They're muted, but there. And it gives it a more civilian vibe. Just an idea, maybe a smaller follow along, saw mill mech that does the cutting. Half as tall with a single driver and one giant blade.

[@cfbn1]

I love your imaginary wild west builds. They inspired me to make my own world called Wastorle.

[@Patrickpoopcat]

Whenever I need inspiration or am feeling down I come to your channel as my first choice and I’ve never had to find another channel to give me that satisfaction.😊

[@lostmooseswe2715]

To the creator of the "martian fighting machine" i absolutly love it!

[@ethobbyshow]

I'm always impressed by the lack of tooling marks and glue joints in your builds, everything. Always look so seamless.

[@saint.venant]

OH BOYLEI! IT'S HOBBY TIME!

[@BustingSomeBuffers]

Every time I watch your videos, it always inspires me to build something crazy and steampunk-y

[@tinnedsouls9272]

I love that watching these videos always gets me in the mood for Red Dead Redemption, love your work, and keep doing what you love!

[@newtz.]

i love how this perfecly gives me "Iron Harvest" vibes

[@BSG99]

Dust? Anybody? No? Dust. 😂 a classic scene

[@potatopoison1130]

Really love the colors on this one

[@brendanoconnor2522]

This is some of your best work. The creativity is unreal.

[@TheCatanzaroShop]

Awesome work! I love the style of these, I wouldn’t mind a full-size version….Maybe someday?!

[@benpine8597]

Loved the Little Britain reference. Great build!

[@lizsteeds6697]

Such a good eye for when to stop and what to add ...

[@amberharvey4566]

did not expect to hear a little Britain reference in one of your videos that's some real early 2000's nostalgia.

[@lordbored2706]

Anybody? No? Dust That was the first episode of Little Britain I ever watched. Brilliant work dude!

[@istmirwunst]

I am impressed each and every single time you come up with a new video.

[@alexbooyse9053]

This one is particularly pleasing, especially that dirty and aged finish.

[@Amphiron]

One of my favorite series! I hope you decide to make this a game or something some day.

[@theeccentricadam]

Man!! Bittersweet.. It’s Boylei Hobby day…. but now Ive watched it…😖 Let the countdown begin! Great job man!!

[@jasonwaltrowski2315]

Pretty creative, love your style, I build mostly cars and I do kit bash them, been building for over 40 years and I dig how you kit bash everything into something it wasn't meant to be, very cool

[@jackmacauley1918]

I cracked up when the mech fell over and you put the little rubber duck sound effect.

[@radmcgnar]

That little Britain reference was gold lol

[@jordandugstad4526]

I love the dystopian Wild West theme a lot!
