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]

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

[@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!!

[@zandarrthegreat6790]

I love the story telling that goes with the building. Plus the special effects of you shaking the components off of the screws or where you just flicked the paint on the wood veneer. Little things like that improve the videos a lot. Great job as always.

[@Citadel.02]

Honestly this is the best diorama KZbin channel

[@wallabaatar]

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

[@katmom49]

The shields and explosions are fabulous!

[@samueljacobson1181]

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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@MRdragonvr]

First? Let's go also love your videos dude keep at them

[@SCWatches]

The explosion coming out of the tank is superb. First time I have seen that done and it is very inspirational. Thank you.

[@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

[@Crystalswordswinger7865]

@@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!

[@zz-dn3bt]

Thanks!

[@that_one_helljumper]

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

[@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

[@LifesGood16]

The lights and resin shields on this build absolutely blow me away. Gotta be my favourite build of yours

[@Straswa]

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

[@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!!!

[@scottywan82]

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

[@p11_studios]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@samgrawberger1971]

Love the clone wars, we need more dioramas like this. Easily one of my fav's from you.

[@AcoylteKraven82]

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

[@Rossonero-7847]

Love your star wars themed dioramas! They always hit me right in the feels. Truly honoring the movies/shows

[@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

[@toodlesX14]

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

[@karnosch]

I really like how it all ended up! Love seeing Legion dioramas

[@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 !

[@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.

[@ABeardedPanda]

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

[@whitedire_-Wolfgaming]

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

[@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

[@robertreynolds930]

that clear resin explosion was genius, it looked great!

[@kcman08]

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

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

[@cartercraw2968]

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

[@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

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

[@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!

[@ezragrey9212]

[@TheSeishiro1989]

Your work is just breathtaking! That Diorama is a awesome piece for every Star Wars Fan! Great video as always!

[@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.

[@malikbleak9113]

The shields are really good. Really impressive!!

[@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.

[@odelagd7436]

I love the way you painted the tank, I'd honestly like to see if the clones could be done that way for battle damage, the way you did the wear and tear on the tank.

[@501-legion]

Нет слов. Просто лучшие диорамы по звездным войнам. Всегда смотрю с удовольствем за процессом. Удачи и достижения новых вершин!

[@carrie4910]

Looks amazing! That explosion is freakin awesome.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That is super cool. I can the UV filiment being used for blaster shots in other dioramas. Great job.

[@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.

[@zertoil]

If you want to do bubble shields you could look into clear plastic christmas ornaments. They're relatively cheap and easy to cut. Another option would be round silicone molds. You just have to use a fast resin, poor it in, swirl it around and dump out the excess. Just make sure to keep moving the mold around until it's all cured. The same technique is used to make movie monster masks, body parts and the like.

[@benmiles00]

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