Giant Anaconda in Resin | Riverboat Epoxy Diorama

#Riverboat #Anadonda #Diorama
This week, we’re back in the Wild Imaginary West with a riverboat captain who got off course and foolishly decided to wander into a river system near monster territory. The monster that happened to find him first was a massive anaconda.

I want that captain to be a reoccurring character who drinks his way into danger but through dumb luck, always survives for the next diorama!

[@nairbvel]

There's a stop motion animation channel I watch (legoanimations6370) with a recurring character like that who add s a sort of "oh no, what's he do *this* time vibe to each video... but the Wild Imaginary West has such a great backstory and canon, I don't know if it's necessary!

[@Tharus12]

Or a really good first mate who's always got his Captain's back.

[@endersquid1132]

Basically Captain Haddock from Tin Tin

I love how so many people like before they reach the 15 second mark that I can see it has “no views” but 47 likes. Shows how dedicated this community is.

[@Spaceman20150]

That just goes to show how hi his quality is

[@viscounttudon68]

I’m one of those people - there’s no reason not to. Boylei’s just so reliably lovely that I know I’m going to love (and rewatch) his videos before I’ve even really gotten into them

[@maxwellsmith1578]

I always like his videos before watching it

I love how 1 hour after drop 11,000 views.

I live in Thailand and the other day saw a 15 foot Reticulated Python swimming near a boat used to take tourists on short river trips. That was enough to really scare me, but your snake takes it to another level! I love this so much! Great build Boylei!

[@Gonzo_Rc]

I’m watching this video at the airport coming home from Thailand!

[@Sparks263]

Snakes are so cool

[@artsyscrub3226]

if you see the snake then that's a good thing means you aren't a target (Not that ypu wpuld be anyways its incredibly rare for a snake to eat a human in fact its never been recorded in history there's just some rumors of it, at most they kill people later on not in the moment

[@Z_Diavolo_]

@@artsyscrub3226there are some records of snakes eating humans just not live ones

[@crimetimeproductions6340]

I feel like one of the most underrated aspects of these videos is the sound design and lighting of the final product. The subtle crickets in the background and the one directional lighting simulating moonlight does a lot to set the tone and atmosphere for the diorama. It's just a beautiful detail that I feel like gets overlooked

[@BuckHudz]

The wild imaginary west has to be one of the coolest and most creative fictional worlds I've ever seen! I can just imagine a open world adventure or strategy type settlement building game. Or even a novel or comic! Would be so cool to have an in-depth lore written about the WIW. Seeing Boylei's new vids always make my day 🤠

[@JD_16939]

I'd play the hell out of a TTRPG set in the Wild Imaginary West.

[@katrinagray855]

I watch all his videos because as a dungeon master I love all his pieces and want to use them for game nights😅😅😅😅😅

[@createdman9889]

I am currently coming up with a DnD campaign set in the Wild Imaginary West. It's gonna be awesome. 🤩

[@blackwolf249]

@@createdman9889 I hope to see a video about it.

[@abelboronkai448]

imagine the main character coming from the steam area where electronics are banned. Would be a cool story how they learn to accept and use it to defend themselfs

[@aGoshDarnTravesty]

I really like how you've started incorporating the electrical switches into the build to disguise them. It may be worth trying out different switch types depending on the disguise, where buttons or knobs would be easier to hide.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

I very much agree, I love the hidden switches, it's so much better than an obvious switch sticking out of the base, background, etc. And yes, it's worth looking into different types of switch - there are some low profile push button switches for example which may be more suitable in some cases.

[@duskstone109]

I don't know why but whenever I'm having a bad day, I watch these custom diorama builds. Sometimes on different channels. It always makes me feel better.

[@encouragingthings]

Looks amazing! It's great to hear a little more lore about the places that aren't covered in dangerous beasts all the time. It's interesting that we sometimes forget how "crunched" time is and how many famous and influential people who are responsible for today's technology and culture were jammed right up against a chunk of continent that was still "Wild and untamed" even in the real world. Great work!

[@Stonedogg1]

Would really like to see a playlist of all the music you use for your Wild Imaginary West dioramas!

[@ZackHuff-ve8sn]

I have only discovered this channel a month ago and I am hooked!! Everything that Boylei creates is amazing and inspiring! I especially love the Wild Imaginary West! I cannot wait to see more of those in the future!! I don't know how often Boylei reads the comments but I would love to see more imaginary wild west stuff, like a Texas longhorn minotaur creature in the midst of a cattle drive or something. Just an idea. Love this channel!!

[@iain.sm.c]

Love your storytelling abilities through these dioramas.

[@mistac5050]

Really cool build, love the hidden switch in the barrel!

[@Dowlphin_]

What a sunday treat of a video! Lovely work as always, Mr. Hobby Time! :)

[@JayhanLordofCats]

Amen

[@deaconcaron8133]

Yeah I like his videos coming out on Sunday because I can watch them before church.

[@BlueBeetle1939]

Id be really interested to hear more about imaginary new orleans it still holds onto that old timey charm even in our modern day so id love to see how we adapted to giant monsters and mech wagons!

[@pubertjones8093]

I love how you build these dioramas, not only physically, but within the minds of your viewers with the stories you tell. Beautiful build, can't wait to see more.

[@modelermark172]

This is a great diorama that tells a simple, self-explanatory story that still takes the viewer a second or two to realize just what's going on. (I hope that snake doesn't get alcohol poisoning . . . .) As a sidebar, I have seen this kit at my local hobby shop, but hesitated to get it, not sure what it was like. I'll definitely be adding this to my list, now! 500th like.

[@PKTCrafts]

How you are able to make this in a week amazes me. Awesome paintjob man!

[@plutoisaplanet19]

"i used whatever method this is" is such a mood. Great plastic+paint+clay+resin mixed media piece as usual!!

[@mw8392]

I don't know which I love more, the soft glow through the windows or that wonderful duckweed painting technique. ❤❤❤ But I think the best part, aside from the builds themselves, is the stories you give the people.

[@MetalGearAusInd]

“After hiding the switch under a barrel, it was time to move on” does not do justice to the creativity of incorporating the switch in such a fun and intelligent way. Nor the effort in building the little barrel is such a way that the switch works perfectly. Your work is amazing because of little touches like this.

[@aaronfrahm623]

I absolutely love this build. Thank you for the wild imaginary west.

[@dean_4.6_31]

I always find myself listening to the stories as you build, but I don't watch the building processes, once I see the final results, I always rewarch to see you build, and hear the story again! Great work!

[@carlfrederickbowers]

I love the story behind each diorama it really adds to the finished article, another great model kudos.

[@straswa]

Masterful work Boylei! Love the water details and paint applications.

[@pailhorsegaming6762]

I love the additional lore we got today! And the build is amazing!!

[@Solarcrafting]

What a fun build. Great job Boylei. Stay amazing.

Once again, this master has delivered greatness in the form of this piece of artwork.

I love to watch every section of your Imaginary Wild West come to life. Another great build my friend. 👍👍👍

[@thomasalbion1834]

These videos never fail to improve my mood and the results are always fantastic. Thank you, Boylei, for another twelve minutes of calm in my otherwise chaotic life.

[@okeanos6391]

This is such a cool build!! I love the idea behind it and the world building you got into in this episode.

The Wild Imaginary West has become one of my favorite series that I keep up with on youtube! Always fun and engaging.

[@DisclaimerGarage]

Beautiful work, as always.

[@chriscooper654]

Amazing work as ever, and a great addition to the Wild Imaginary West. Assuming the rest of the crew survive, the captain will become just another cautionary tale about not letting your guard down on the frontier...

[@wylee9]

incredible once again!!! i love the new title card and this diorama is easily one of my new favs.

[@ChrispyP]

Absolutely stunning!

[@Tellemicus]

You really need to make this whole 'alternate world' you're making into an ACTUAL book series! I'd definitely read it!

[@Will_Lesher]

I love all the lore that is continuing to be made about this universe!

[@classicalheroes8910]

this is probably my favorite channel on this hellsite, look forward to watching every Sunday before I head off to my DND session

Every diorama is just amazing.

Love the story with the craft 👊

[@aestinoct]

I love this fantasy west series more than anything else you do. The creativity, ingenuity, and quality visual storytelling are so appealing. I will say with this one build, I feel like some weathering and grime on the windows would have lent a bit more to the aesthetic but otherwise it's absolutely perfect

[@jenniferbrewer5370]

Your work is AMAZING!!!

the duckweed looks sooo cool in this, i cant get over how cool that technique u used is, love the video!
