I Made a Star Wars Battle Diorama With a New Explosion Technique

[@daybreaker_koa]

The idea that there’s one clone named Roger makes this whole era of Star Wars sound like an absolute nightmare for him.

[@TheRyujinLP]

Roger-Rogering intensifies...

[@Meemstation]

What if he was a commander

[@azynkron]

@@Meemstation Roger, Roger-Roger!

[@captainF0Rd0]

I feel like it wouldn’t be a nightmare. I feel like he actually took on the name to strike fear into the battle droids by taking something they own… “roger”

[@thebeatls09k]

One thing I learned years later is that the Droid itself is called Roger. So they aren't saying Roger (copy that) twice they are saying roger( copy that) to a bot also named Roger. Roger,Roger.

[@Aikurisu]

Okay, those shield bubbles came out extraordinarily well. With the light reflecting off them they're pretty much perfect for the job.

[@shanerountree3623]

A thought just came to me for lighting the bubbles. Have a blaster bolt actually impacting the shield and at the point of impact hide an surface mount UV LED to illuminate the shield at that point. That should have the effect of the shield glow around the blaster impact (as if the shield were taking damage there) and let you illuminate it without having to have an external source above.

[@danielrodriguez-lx1qi]

@@shanerountree3623 THIS! genuinely a good idea!

[@tripghl0]

Best scale modeling channel ever

[@tonylovesmusic]

can confirm

[@Cimmerian415]

One of the best for sure.

[@TrimericRaptor7-hb4mw]

Yep yep

[@mrskeet7307]

Agreed

[@videomurln]

I look forward to the clever writing as much as the craftsmanship... "and it sounds like they're looking for you, Roger" 😂

[@Citadel.02]

Honestly this is the best diorama KZbin channel

[@jeremiahward9999]

This is by far one of my favorite builds besides the wild imaginary west!! You should do more with the Star Wars legion models!! Like an assault on a rebel base of your creation by the empire!!

[@SpencerGilland-wm7tt]

Wild imaginary west was the best. We need more!!

[@samueljacobson1181]

wow that ambush set up was pretty legit. even had the shoulder fire RPG the explosion on the vehicle depicted that very nicely

[@katmom49]

The shields and explosions are fabulous!

[@wallabaatar]

This diorama captures a moment and tells a story in a uniquely exceptional and beautiful way. Thanks for another awesome build Boylei!

[@petelawson3670]

Your rock and terrain painting skills are almost better than actual nature. Those shields are on point. Great work as always. You have definitely attained the rank of grand master.

[@johnnydoe66]

You should call this planet "Saharion Prime." Maybe they were fighting over the only area to have a deep water source below the surface in some sort of cavern.

[@caseyynelmss]

According to Wookiepedia, the planet looks similar to Pasaana. Which we only saw once, in The Rise Of Skywalker, but we could assume the clones got there once or twice.

[@thevoiceinyourhead97]

@@caseyynelmss Since we know that Skywalker was on Ryloth and with that the 501st, it would make more sense to assume the planet is Ryloth based on its "deserty" apperance which was seen multiple times in the Clone Wars.

[@squelch13]

Love how this came out.. A tip for the clear resin shields.. if you brush back over them with the clear resin again, it will make them more clear and see through.. just give them a quick set with the handheld uv light after to cure them

[@Anyad911]

no need to print and struggle with clear coats... cheap xmas ornament clear balls in many different sizes can do the trick

[@josiahcochran8290]

@@Anyad911but what about the seam on those?

[@Anyad911]

@josiahcochran8290 plenty of sizes are available without seams, molded in one piece, not two halves

[@ni-dirus]

The 3d printed explosion really adds to the feel of all the clone war series being animated in various styles - it may just be me, but when I think of the clones, I think about all the different appearances they made in the animated series' even if they first appeared in the live action. And those shields look so good! You always nail the right amount of color and washes and everything in between, I'm terrible at colors. Great work boylei!

[@bushyboi2k9]

One trick for masking, that find works. After putting down your masking tape, spray over a light coat or two of sealer. This means when you go over it with your normal spray / paint after, none should be able to leak under the tape.

[@that_one_helljumper]

The lighting effects with the droideka bubble shields worked out really well The whole scene looks really cool

[@ABeardedPanda]

Another Sunday with Boylei, it's gonna be a good day.

[@DugdoesDigging]

The way you create terrain... its magic man, I could never, not with 100 years of learning and study

[@readingking1421]

That is incredible! This is my all-time favorite model you've made; the explosion on the tank, the shield bubbles, it's all amazing

[@rharbarenko]

"the clones were done and ready to be expendable" LOL Clearly the Clones are going to win this fight. They have the Hight Ground. Another awesome Diorama

[@scottywan82]

Love it when I refresh the page just as one of your videos goes up!

[@dawn_8691]

I've been following your channel for two years I think, and seeing your gradual improvement in builds is exquisite. Beleive us when we say this is the best diorama you've done so far : using resin instead of cotton is actually a great upgrade, and even more appealing when the LEDs aren't on ! Bravo !

[@ajschwartz3924]

Rex!!!! My all time favorite clone. I love that little Easter egg you left in.

[@ezragrey9212]

Huge Star Wars fan here. I make 1/12 scale figures so I was stoked to see this upload! This is one of the best Star Wars themed pieces I have ever seen in this scale!

[@Straswa]

Masterful work Boylei! Love the Droideka shields and the rocket damage on the AAT.

[@kcman08]

Nothing better than opening KZbin and seeing a you uploaded a new star wars diorama video

[@robertreynolds930]

that clear resin explosion was genius, it looked great!

[@mistac5050]

Another awesome build. Love the terrain as usual. Hope you're getting ready for that one million subscriber extravaganza!

[@g0ldenant]

That is SO COOL!!!! The explosion turned out amazing and the shield bubbles look really good

[@MichaelJaeYT]

You make it look so easy. Very nice work! I don't know if you've done it before but a cool challenge would be doing a blaster shot deflecting off of a droideka shield, it already looks great though, really enjoyed this :)

[@Vanret255]

I love the wild imaginary west, but your Star wars legion Diormas are always my favorite!

[@mrcurious555]

This video is epic! Boylei set to rule them all, One Hobby at a Time I would love to see a Jurassic Park Diorama, the one with the upturned Jeep and the T-Rex. May the force be with you 😂

[@cartercraw2968]

Bro I love how you did the tank. The paint job looks amazing and the damage looks pretty realistic.

[@joshburnworth8101]

This is so Cool! I love the Explosion on the tank. The glowing blaster bolts are a fantastic addition as well. Makes me wanting to start making dioramas again.

[@malikbleak9113]

The shields are really good. Really impressive!!

[@p11_studios]

The explosions are brilliant!! Love to see some more clone representation

[@SJ-0044]

1 million subs must be a collaboration diorama

[@mbrombert]

Absolutely obsessed with this channel and every video but would LOVE to see way more Wild Imaginary West stuff!

[@CyberVikingGaming]

The sickest thing to roll up on my feed. That was amazing!

[@soluciones11s.a.s81]

Outstanding. And as always…Rex leading from the front of the formation.

[@AemJaY]

your priming technique is always mindblowing. i was never thinking of priming a structure in a dark color. i may have to try this.

[@whitedire_-Wolfgaming]

A clone Vs droid battle on felucia would be awsome, lots of vibrant colours and cool shapes

[@nils-peterwihlney8732]

Loved it! The lack of a smoke trail is not a bad thing since I doubt the clone troopers use smoke-emitting rockets. It could even be that he never got the chance to fire and that the droids inside caused the explosion themselves in a funny way and everybody cheered on Roger who in confusion looks at the ammo inside of his unfired rocket launcher but doesn't say anything.

[@paperdoll1982]

One of the parenting moments I have been looking forward to happened last week. My daughter is in 4th grade and they are studying habitats. They got to pick a habitat and make a diorama. She chose The Boreal Forest (we live in Canada). I was able to help her out making a bunch of cool coniferous trees using, wire, jute fibre and a drill. I feel like I learned that from you but if not I’m sure you linked to someone else’s channel who had a tutorial. Thank you. We spray painted them black and she added some green shades and they looked great.

[@scnichols65]

Turned out great! Look forward to seeing what you can do with the glowing resin.

[@brandonrobinson1603]

The 3D printed blast effects just changed my life. I would be so thrilled to be able to print my own transparent blast effects for figures

[@yellowlabrador4918]

Those printed explosions are really neat!! For me, I personally like the cotton ball explosions you’ve made a little better, I like the way they look. But the new kind is really neat too

[@PeterJL]

It could always be the Twi'lek homework of Ryloth if you were looking for a desert like planet that had lots of clone wars battles

[@manuelkress8554]

Awesome work! I essentially like the rock texture and the reddish brown color of the droidekas 👍🤟. And the explosion of course.

[@toodlesX14]

Really really impressed with that tank! The paint work is fantastic and that entry -> exit explosion is so good.

[@darthjump]

Man that paintjob was quick and effective. Back when i was into tabletop Lord of the Rings i spent hours just on a single Goblin!

[@carrie4910]

Looks amazing! That explosion is freakin awesome.

[@PKTCrafts]

Dude! I have never thought about gluing plaster/resin rocks before cutting the foam around it, then the sculptamold 🤯 so smart! Came out looking so beautiful man!

[@theoneandonly8967]

This is most definitely one of my favourite scenes you’ve done so far. The explosion looks super cool. Thanks for the great vids

[@Atmoseeker]

That's wicked. Love how simple the wiring for the lights was too.

[@paulkim8651]

you are both truly inspiring and a brutal reality check. i'm glad i'm old enough to know that whilst i'd love to try to make/recreate/improve your works, i know it would be a colossal waste of my time and money trying. please keep up the amazing work! i love when you use lights!

[@Shtubbly]

As someone who’s a world war 1 and 2 nerd I’m hoping one day I get to see you make a diorama using one of those time eras

[@pyrerock]

Those shield bubbles work really well. I've always thought those type of droids were really cool too the way they roll up, transform and start blasting. Your printed blast effects are great too.

[@jairoantoniogomez7335]

Amazing, what a talented fellow. I wish I could do that for my grandsons. WOW!

[@Trashbash_Creations]

love it so much - outstanding job man, well done as per usual!

[@wildbill2703]

Man, you keep upping your game. Love the growth in technique since you've started. Keep it up!

[@capatainnemo]

You could have mounted some mini uv leds under the droids with shields, apart from that and the smoke trail a great looking diorama

[@cerisekappes580]

Love how you used new techniques!!! Looks awesome 😊😊😊

[@goobseum]

This may be your best work yet

[@scarcosplay]

you really upped your game with that shield and explosion!

[@petermitchell7914]

Absolutely stunning. I make stuff for my tabletop games, but this is totally next level stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. When I saw you installing the laser blasts I thought, "There's no way they're going to light up." Boy was I wrong.

[@steviemcdonnell]

Tank explosion looks class

[@JayhanLordofCats]

Aww brilliant This is most impressive, amazing work and love those clear resin explosives 😻👍🤘

[@benmiles00]

Fantastic! When the lights came on I actually gasped. Amazing work as always sir.

[@Food24112]

I like the resin explosion. Sure the cotton one always looks amazing, but the resin one looks amazing too! I love how how shields turned out. Like you mentioned the only thing missing is the smoke trail from the rocket launcher, but it looks so good!

[@edanwallgejw]

Wow wow wow! I loved the landscape on this diorama, it looks so realistic! The minis are also beautifully painted. (although it does make me a little sad thinking about how they will never be used in mini combat):( The shields are also a really cool idea and look great! Thank you Boylei!

[@jonnysee2948]

Wow! I’m so impressed! This looks amazing! So cool!

[@whateveryoda]

As awesome as ever! Love your Star Wars diaromas!

The glowikg shields for the da kas was genious. The way they look under the light is perfect

[@BDZman1069]

The explosions are really awesome looking!

[@AcoylteKraven82]

10:16- That’s actually another awesome idea! Which is normal for this channel lol But yeah, if you stuck a little light in front of the shields and pointed it directly at them then you can see where the shield is obviously getting hit by the blue! But then it goes clear and the further back you go!!! That’s awesome!!!

[@wifipigeon01]

Thaaaat's dope 😍😍 switching the light on was an epic moment

[@captaindecounting8239]

I love Clone Wars era Star Wars. Excellent work, love all the details, and the suspended blaster fire is insane. Definitely love the new clear printable resin, those blast effects are so perfect. Grade A++ content. CHEERS!

[@Gokou3036]

That smoke technique is awesome, very well done.

[@AcoylteKraven82]

0:16- Yay!!! SWL!!! I love this game and I love most of these model’s!!!

[@Ilithilich]

Awesome work as always! I have a couple of suggestions for thing you mentioned near the end: Put some fishing line with painted cotton between tank and the rocketlauncher as a smoketrail. And put some appropriately colourfull washes over the droideka shield.

[@TekGeekDad]

Looks absolutely awesome - the shield bubbles are slick and wonder if you could put an led inside to light them from the inside along with maybe a filament bouncing off of one. Sweet over all.

[@graefx]

The UV shields are awesome, im gonna save that for if I ever have a printer.

[@tonylovesmusic]

you reignited my love for miniatures
