" Got an uncle named Herb..." I love the dialogue you add to these scenes, they are hysterical!

[@Feathered_Goose]

I think that was my favourite line in this whole video

[@MrIWannaLaugh]

That whole segment could have been a Monty Python sketch. I kept waiting for an African Swallow to perch on the fortress wall.

Gotta find where this was said

I would try to befriend the big jackalope

[@branchcore]

I would try to eat it.

[@joelmagnuson3138]

It would make for a great mount.

[@kyomi_exe67]

Roll for persuasion

[@georgejung4115]

Idea for next project: PLEASE DO A RODEO. Since you have the western theme, make a rodeo where you have an actual mechanical bull people would ride or take down. Put it inside a circled fence with some spectators around it!

[@Jumbobloke]

@@kyomi_exe67 you would need to roll a 19 at least, not to mention it would be chaotic neutral

[@frog8220]

“Stoic but with an affinity for it’s kind” is a detail I love!

I love the back story he creates while building the models, it really brings the diorama to life and gives it a feeling like your part of the build!

Mythical?

[@ghostriposte2977]

@@BlueGillagethey’re not a real animal unfortunately, any taxidermies you might’ve seen are just Jackrabbits with small antlers glued on.

[@HolyCowCreates]

I love the little rabbits with antlers 🥺Thanks for hosting the art challenge, Boylei, and for taking the time to jump on a call with me to make a cameo appearance in my video 🐮which should be up on my channel in a couple of days. It was a lot of fun being challenged by the deadline while making my first diorama!

[@MinnesnowdanSniper]

I agree with George jung. only makes sense for a holy cow.

[@elfbait3774]

Your Weird West never fails to please. You always come up with such fun idea and execute them wonderfully. I'd never have thought of swarming, locust jackalopes, yet here they are and they just make perfect sense in the setting. Have you considered producing an art book featuring your Wild West work with accompanying lore and story?

[@bv657]

Yes I have

[@Caudex.Itz7]

This sounds like a great idea

[@modelermark172]

I think the folks in the fort could use a Gatling Gun or two, about now. That said, this is incredible, as is everything about your Wild Imaginary West! Please keep 'em coming!

[@annbrookens945]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@myarmsrgone]

It'd help to deal with the massive Jackalope swarm

[@carrie4910]

Looks awesome! That’s the cutest ‘omgrunforit’ monster yet lol😂

[@melindajohnson3394]

I'm so glad we never flushed out any of these while I was at a desert military base out west. We prepared for rattlers but these critters always gave us pause.

[@jamesrauch9103]

The death stare of the gigabun is just down right frightful... Always enjoy your builds.. thanks as always...

[@SPQRKlio]

You (and then Bill Making Stuff) have done so much to get me out of my creative slump and “what is the point doing art” depression (because the back of my brain says loving doing art isn’t enough), and I’m grateful. Including giving me a motivation boost this morning. I can create a world that’s a story, and that satisfies the back of my brain and adds another layer of fun for the rest of the brain cells. Plus I’ve learned so many techniques here, and have gotten over my fear of watered-down white glue and alcohol. And giant little herbivore jackalope with its cute ears and nose looks so adorably menacing 😊

[@Im_Coral]

the fact that the 3D printer made such fine antlers! that's amazing! these video's are so inspiring :3

[@Penguinishy]

Normal 3D printers cant do that level of detail, I believe he uses a resin 3d printer which can do fine details.

[@Im_Coral]

@@Penguinishy I need to get me one of those :P

[@bredcubed1161]

Yup, he uses a resin printer I believe! It essentially shoots beams of UV light into liquid resin, hardening the resin at specific points to make a print. It does have some drawbacks, like there’s not really any commercially available resin printers with a bed as large as your normal filament printer, and the resin is toxic so you need a mask and gloves, but it’s perfect for models and very smooth and detailed stuff.

[@JM.....]

How he got it off the supports, I dont know 😂

[@mikeluther60]

Absolutely adorable and hilarious!

[@moderatelyamusing94]

We all need a friend like the big jackalope

[@wAwCreator]

This piece is truly an impressive contribution to the May 5 Art Challenge and demonstrates a love of creativity. From choosing unique themes to the use of different materials and techniques, all have created a unique and admirable work of art.

[@tuananhshduc4616]

Not quite Knights fighting a bunny rabbit but close. Love the paint job on the giant Jackalope.

[@danielecampbell7850]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to get one of my favorite art/diorama/sculpture KZbinrs to do Jackalopes, and I love what you have done with a Jackalope swarm!

[@aarons.]

Love the unique and fun theme! Excellent build!

Blood thirsty Jackelopes?!!? Heck yes!!

[@gypsypunk333]

One of your funnest builds yet! Always had a soft spot for jackalopes, and this build is hilarious (and well-executed, of course). Nice work :)

[@horizonsforge]

"Jackelope swarm" naturally. Love it.

[@debbralehrman5957]

I remember the first time I saw a post card with a Jackalope after I moved here to Az. This looks very cool and so do the ones done by your Patrons. 👍🏼

[@TheDualTatorz]

This one is definitely among the cutest ones you have ever done...which aren't many cause the Wild West is super scary, but still! The thought of a large horde of Jackelopes attacking all Helm's Deep style is hilarious to me.

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Dude! I remember suggesting jackalopes a while back on one of your past videos! This is fantastic! The idea of the hive mentality just lends this such a great amount of visual storytelling. Well done! God bless!

[@HomeOnTheRanges]

Never knew I’d turn on my favorite hobby channel and immediately learn a fact that blew my mind! I feel like we all should’ve know that locust are just grasshoppers! We’ve been lied to 😂

[@Ask4kuntz]

I like friends that look out for their pals.

[@justahappystone26]

I would love to see a group of bandits ambush a mech travelling through a forest or something similar. Also awesome diorama as always.

[@dragon_ninja_2186]

Awesome. Love to see you make a full fort or additional parts to this.

[@davidstreicher1103]

At the start, I thought the idea you were going for was that regular rabbits turn into jackalopes when they become gregarious. I know it’s not what you’re going for, but the idea of a mythical beast being the gregarious locust form of a regular animal is potentially really interesting world building.

[@M0UNTAINEER]

Such unique ideas and awesome storylines 👌

[@lionessoftor4139]

I absolutely ADORE Jackalopes. So excited to see them!

[@timwright3592]

On the grass hopper/locust thing - if I remember correctly, grass hoppers turn into locust once an area has a big density of grass hoppers in it. They develop wings to travel greater distances to find new feeding areas

[@Player_36C]

1 of my wifes uncles used to run a jackalope store... Makes this build all the more awesome to me 👍
