Making a Wild Imaginary Monster Hunting Cowboy Rifle

#WIldWest #Monster #Rifle
To wrap up the year, I decided to build my first 1:1 scale prop from the Wild Imaginary West; a customized, lever action, monster hunting, cowboy rifle. I used an air rifle as the base of the build.
If you enjoyed this build and would like to see more prop builds from the WIW, please let me know!

[@wowitscoldout1119]

Absolutely epic!! I'd love to see more 1:1 stuff. Theres something so cool about seeing a canon tool from this world!

[@BiggHefty]

THIS!!!

[@joeyRaven201]

Yes

[@Adamant_Consternation]

A Gatling pistol!

[@CaptainTak]

absolutely

[@skyrie_on_talons]

YES MORE

[@pbutternj8921]

Would love to see more “monster trophies” at this scale. Like a cabinet of curiosities of different monster parts and technology as a way to expand the lore.

[@JWMStopMotionAnimation2010]

That sounds awesome!!! Great idea @pbutternj8921!!! I like the way you think, pal!

[@IceDragon978]

Yes, seconded, this is an amazing idea.

[@DaniKing72]

Yeah or take a monster he's already created but it's skull on a mount in 1:1

[@vaskur8998]

there is a guy in germany who does this. He made all kinds of conserved speciments based off folkloric creatures and started an exibition

[@headsetsquirrel2581]

@@vaskur8998 That sounds really cool, do you know what I could type into google to find it?

[@StudsonStudio]

Great video! Looking forward to visiting your 1:1 scale Wild Imaginary Westworld amusement park once it's completed

[@Chaosgremlin69420]

That’s how he’s going to store all the dioramas, because it would take an amusement park to hold them all.

[@lucasschulz3572]

Well he’s gonna have enough money to make after selling the rifle

[@keliideleon]

I love the idea of getting a “zoomed in” look at some of the tools and objects that we’ve seen on a miniature scale in your other Wild Imaginary West videos. Helps bring it to life even more as though it was truly a historical time in America

[@Miraak0Konahrik]

As a cosplayer and owner of that exact rifle myself, I do very much enjoy these kind of props and I would love to see more of these :)

[@J-Amadaeus]

It’s a nice rifle, hope to get one in the future.

[@Miraak0Konahrik]

@@J-Amadaeus Its great fun to play around with so I can only recommend it personally ^^

[@J-Amadaeus]

@@Miraak0Konahrik :)

[@coltsaacowboy]

​@@Miraak0Konahrikwhere can I find this rifle

[@Miraak0Konahrik]

@@coltsaacowboy I suppose that depends on where you live. I live in Switzerland and I found it at a shop which sells airsoft rifles and such. Mine was sold under the name of "Umarex Legends M1894 Lever Action Co² Shell Ejection Rifle" I hope that helps :)

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Yes! Please do more 1:1 projects!!

[@b1air77]

1:1 is such a cool change of pace. There’s so much tech in the wild imaginary west that you could explore in that scale. Love the content as always!!

[@aliasbillsmith7200]

My daughter says “you’re so good at what you do.” I think she’s going to make her own imaginary world one day. Thanks for the inspiration ❤❤

[@Boylei]

Tell her thank you for me!

[@pjhb_microsoldering_portugal]

Those gold bits are named pogo-pins, are used in industry as electrical contact points, usualy you have a pogo-pin inserted in a sleeve so you can change the pogo when is damaged. Love your videos greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@travismiles5885]

We call them spring pins where I work in the US.

[@RedfieldCoast]

Interesting, I’ve heard them as pogo-pins in the US, but it was at a German owned company.

[@JohnDoe-420]

Pogo pins here, also in the US. 🤷

[@ctw30002000]

Hot damn, didn't expect to see this in here! I've got the Walther-Umarex lever action air rifle, but almost got the one you were working on! It was a decision between "shoots a little better" and "has little loading cartridges for the pellets". Mine's got brass furnishings for the lever box. It is a lot of fun to do some plinking on the balcony! Anyway, what I wanted to say: Yes, I would like to see, hear and read a lot more of the Imaginary Monster-Infested Steampunk Wild West, no matter the scale!

[@JanTuts]

Personally, I feel like having to futz with cartridges is the whole fun of a lever action or revolver replica.

[@ctw30002000]

So you're saying I should give the other candidate a go? I did buy a Colt Single Action Army CO2 that does have cartridges, but it is a bit pointless since you can just reload them while leaving them in the chamber...@@JanTuts

[@JanTuts]

@@ctw30002000 Ah, right, because air gun pellet cartridges load from the rear. I'm more used to Airsoft, where such cartridges load from the front, and so the quickest reload really is to simply dump out the cylinder and inserting new cartridges (optionally with a speed-loader).

[@ctw30002000]

I deliberately go for air guns that shoot these Diabolo pellets. I just like them. Maybe it's a childhood thing. @@JanTuts

[@rigatoni8189]

I have fallen in love with this universe that you have created, keep it up and I’m excited for what’s next.

[@shakestheclone1995]

More props please. It’s refreshing to see you branch out and do something this different.

[@morningstar9849]

It wasn't too long ago what I actually consider doing a cosplay based on something from your universe. If you do more Tools and gear like this I'll have enough information to try and cosplay for the first time. I would love to see what revolvers from this universe look like.

[@spencerfromthehitshowicarly]

The story, the fun, The everything about the story of the wild imaginary west is amazing ! I so badly want to cosplay and make a character from this AHH!!

[@lordhickory3322]

Oh yes PLEASE more 1:1 stuff! This one‘s absolutely bajonkers amazing, and I‘d totally love to see more! Keep up the great work!

[@Palestrike]

im 47 seconds in and i can assure you i would travel west of the mississippi without a forestall to see you do more 1:1 props. Keep up your amazing work, Broylei! :D

[@jonathandamattamoreira6324]

Would love to see more 1:1 scale models of the Wild Wild West!! Also many more dioramas, and would love to see some in a 1:12 or 1:18 scale to make more central scenes!! Loved the video and this Crazy universe you made!!

[@videomurln]

1:1 is a brilliant idea! This was great fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your time with us

[@halfcrafted]

This is absolutely fantastic, will make such a cool prop/display piece, I hope you put it somewhere everyone sees it.

[@nathanielaustin7268]

Would love to see more 1:1! Somehow enhances the lore even more

[@Kaleb-uc3el]

I love seeing how this series continues to grow and evolve from a couple of fun dioramas to a full on universe with story and intro

[@MrJodrick]

I spent the last 6 months slowly making a diorama using things i learned watching you! I love your work and everything you do. Im so glad to have gotten into this hobby.

[@Mercheri9]

AWESOME! I saw the thumbnail and didn't even think it would be you! But ofc it is!

[@HolyCowCreates]

Oooh awesome project and I'm glad you left it functional. I wonder what kind of looks you would get if you took it to an actual airsoft game. And thanks for doing the patreon art challenge, it's always fun to participate! Sad I didn't completely finish my project/video on time, but the Christmas season is a busy one.

[@Boylei]

What you submitted looks great even though you aren’t finished! Thanks for participating. Look forward to watching your video when it’s done!

[@annbrookens945]

Your patrons who submit projects are so talented! They were all impressive and I'm glad you share them! I loved this 1:1 project and would LOVE to see more! Your Wild Imaginary West is a lovely creation and I have really enjoyed watching it grow! Happy New Year to this entire community!

[@severalbees5115]

Stunning as usual. Especially love the cloth wraps, there’s something beautiful in the simplicity of solving things with what’s on hand. I’m also a sucker for waxed canvas (apply beeswax to canvas with a brush and heat gun) which this reminds me of. It doesn’t fray easily and it crinkles beautifully. Cheers

[@brittonbell5909]

never in all my days did I ever think I would see a modeler do 1/1 scale. Epic Man

[@cameronpetti7495]

The 1:1 work definitely is SO cool. I feel like the obvious next project would be a real-world Forestall!

[@Milxfanta]

Dude you inspired to make my own model p51, the stand I made is drying right now and for my second model it looks so good! It has weathering and feels and looks so real! It looks just like on of yours just without the detailed interior! It looks so cool! It’s a dogfight double me 262 vs p51, could you pls feature that me262 vs p51 on the channel?

[@Milxfanta]

Yo dude it’s 12:05 for me right now! Happy new year!

[@grumpymonkey9489]

Happy New Year Bud, Its been great to see your channel grow over the last 3yrs, your models are awesome and you Wild West is somewhere I could loose myself in. Keep up the fantastic work!!

Until a monster comes for you lol

[@leonardneubeck1003]

Amazing. Please more 1:1 scale videos!

[@eighth08]

I'd love to see more 1:1 props. Could be weapons, outfits, etc. It's cool seeing pieces of a world at scale.

[@liamjones9492]

I'd love to see some more 1:1 projects. What would be cool is a radio receiver/backpack that the hunters would use to communicate with each other whilst out in the wilderness

[@ian3314]

Yes please, love seeing 1:1 props.

[@revol2933]

Honestly, you should make more weapon crafting videos like this one. It's awesome

[@skonk5408]

This is amazing! I love both 1 to 1 builds and large scale 1 to a bajillion builds. Would you ever consider doing a video on how you organize your stuff, greebles, tool, etc.

[@ziggykillroy]

Would absolutely love to see more 1:1 WIW props.

[@pmedic523]

That was absolutely incredible. I’d love to see you go outside and shoot it too! More 1:1 weapons please!

[@Br0ck3n]

I'd love to see more 1:1 scale WIW stuff. This is a really cool design, and I'd like to see what else hunters would use.

[@jayerskine3485]

I absolutely love the universe you're created with the WIW. The way you create the backstory for your pieces is very enjoyable to hear. Great work!

[@LovJinxx]

Life size props are so fun! Would love to see more 1-1 size projects every now and then 😁

[@ScrapCrafty]

Loved this build and am super excited to find out what comes next in the WIW adventure you are having. I'm glade you are bringing us along for the ride.

[@rooster4382]

More 1:1 props would be awesome. I think an air soft Broomhandle Mauser would be a perfect base for another one of these.

[@Alphaseen]

This came out great, can't wait for more 1:1 and more stuff in the Wild Imaginary West universe.

[@Frozenkoldfury]

This is some truly awesome stuff, Boylei. I'd love to see more. Also, that little bit of lore about the crystallised tree sap for sedation is fascinating!

[@PILOTPLAYSS]

this was fun! I enjoyed hearing your lore as you fitted greeblies and got creative with it. I'd love to see more 1:1 creations!!

[@Ech_The_Sentiant]

this is so cool! i love how every detail in your wild imaginary west builds tells a story, even just via the amount of wear-and-tear on things - it makes the world feel so full and lived-in. very excited about the prospect of more 1:1 builds as it lets you pack in even more of that detail!
