Our Swamp Tour Went Very Wrong | Story Time Diorama

[@BillMakingStuff]

It was my marshmallow white British tan that confused the gators. They're all right really. Great video boylei.

[@StudsonStudio]

It's true. All of it. Even the part where we stopped at Hole Foods, which is just a big pit of miscellaneous "edible" scraps

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

A business named Hole Foods? I would give that one a HARD PASS. : )

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

I trust that you brought some packaging home with you for incorporation into your next masterpiece? 🙂

[@hypocriticalgrammarnazi]

Aren’t donuts hole foods?

[@Werewolf_Korra]

Now I'm imagining Studson eating out of a compost heap...

[@ScratchBashing]

It's also a golf course

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

That was fantastic! Literally. Well done my friend! I love that Bill is a bead bot, Studson is Link, and that you painted Nick with his blue shirt sporting that tres chic pattern of oranges! I also LOVE how you did the duckweed and just how well the whole diorama came out. Kudos on using a small speaker for the fan on the boat and also for using sprues as the railings! Just simply amazing... as usual. : )

My man, you had me captivated the entire time. That was an absolutely *FUN* video! :D So well-done. Getting to shake hands, hang out, and all enjoy a meal together... that's one of those "No, that *wasn't* a dream - it really happened" situations. Very special.

[@Dowlphin_]

For me all the inserts said "None of the events and details of this story have been altered to improve its entertainment value." and I think that's beautiful. So happy that you had such a great time together! Very wholesome to hear that all you crafty KZbinrs celebrated Bill's birthday and had an awesome time :)

[@jacobhesse981]

Great build and what a fun story! You should add a tiny bag of marshmallows floating beside the boat!

[@evynmartin2679]

i love this idea

[@tikettle]

I love that you’ve gained this little community of builders and hobbyists (sorry if the terminology offends anyone, I’m a newb to this craft). Love the swamp scenes and the details from your real life. Oh, and the goofier vids are what I relate to most!

[@Dan_Does]

Scratch building masterclass! That boat was superb! Also... thanks 😊 x

Hey! It's Bill Makes Stuff!

[@Chill1332]

WOO! I was so excited to heard about this get together. I knew you guys would get into some shenannigans. Poor Bill. He always gets the short end of the stick, doesn't he? Hope he can still craft with one hand. Or maybe he'll just build another one. LOVE this diorama! Your builds are so fun, whimsical and dynamic.

[@Emily-mn2bp]

It's so sweet the personalization of the minis representing your friends, such an awesome touch!

[@onionhead5780]

As a South Floridian who lives next to the Everglades I can appreciate and relate to this diorama a bit more than others. Also I’ve never heard the term fanboat before. We call them Airboats down here. You did excellent work as usual. 👍

[@Karl_B]

As a Southwest Floridian I concur on your comment!

[@carrie4910]

The story meld was awesome 😂 Love the build, gives me ‘dont go into the long grass’ from Jurassic Park vibes….only swampier and alligatory

[@chrismonreale4888]

I love that you just made up a new adjective: alligatory !

[@carrie4910]

@@chrismonreale4888 😁

[@modelermark172]

The diorama and the tall tails that inspired it are both incredible! I'm glad you had the chance to hang out with your fellow KZbin crafters, like an old-school IPMS Club Meeting, instead of just correspond online. And as building a swamp navigating fanboat has been on my future projects list for decades, I appreciate the tutorial in this video. And at your ages, worrying about carbs is the least of your worries. At my age, my "future projects list" has recently morphed into a "bucket list" . . . . Thanks for sharing this build (and the tale of your adventures in Louisiana) with us!

[@raymondo162]

OH YEAH !! the idea; the build; the paintwork; the resin work; the storyline........ ABSOLUTELY spot-on Boylei. really brought some grin to my afternoon

[@aaronyoung484]

The idea of a gunfighter, an adventurer, a robot, and a viking all being stranded together on a New Orleans fanboat without a guide and swiftly being surrounded by alligators they are readying themselves to fight sounds like the start to a really *out there* tabletop adventure

[@jondavidev]

Didn't realise at all but Bill appears to be an absolute unit. Great work.

[@earlware4322]

Yeah, its not often that he gets out of his attic/crawlspace workshop. But, boy when he does he's happy as only a beadbotboy can be. 😁

[@Vault57]

Loved this homage to friends as well as the peek behind the curtain! Great build and video.

[@grizzlybirdfpv8549]

What an awesome opportunity to have all of you together! Thank you for sharing your experience! Amazing diorama as always!

[@BlueStar731]

This video was an absolute joy to watch! Not only thanks to your skills but the story was so great. Please, make some more videos like this one.

[@woodlanderstudios]

WOW!!! That's so AWESOME! I love how you made yourself a cowboy. I also love the story you came up with. So glad you guys had so much fun!

[@jamesrauch9103]

Wow! What an amazing adventure with some very special people.. glad everyone made it out alive! Sounds like you all had a blast.. great job whoever put that trip together..

[@hothead1975]

The look on beadBot's face! Priceless! 😄

[@davidbursic6527]

This was such an awesome build, the little back story along with pictures really makes the build come to life! Love your work man!

[@johnmccarrick3123]

Always a pleasure to see the Craft Gang having fun! Glad you guy's had a good time!

Man this guy can really build things I really like him he's great at this

[@Vladtheinhaler-bt3ie]

[@neilharrickey]

What an awesome video! That duckweed addon at the end was a perfect touch too. Great work!

[@raymondo162]

duckweed ............ 10 /10. prolly 11 tbh

[@4THECRAFT]

Great build and this trip must have been so much fun. You are an amazing storyteller, mate. I could listen to you all day.

[@tylerh2499]

As someone who is from the deep south, I think most people would be suprised how believable it is. Great job as always!

[@Li-Nuss]

One of your best videos and an awesome build.

[@TheMattCavender]

This is probably my favorite notification of the week. Look forward to Sunday mornings!

[@raymondo162]

DEFFO my fave. all-time fave, grin-wise

[@lofiworkshop]

Wonderful homage to what must have been a truly memorable trip. Great job on the build, and each character is so lovingly rendered. Awesome stuff.

[@XLR8Yeti24]

I tune in for the build,& stay for the back story! Just amazing!

[@Impuritan1]

Oh man. As a southern gentleman myself, the fire and sound of cicadas at the end made this wonderful video all that much better.

[@alienrobotcommando]

The only I love more than your dioramas are your stories. You are absolutely awesome and I hope you don't stop. 🙏

[@crawbag0311]

Every Sunday, I work overtime. And every Sunday, I sit at my desk waiting for a new Boylei video to drop. And now I will be checking out these other channels. You're the best.

Incredible diorama + intriguing story = a fantastic Boylei Hobbytime video!!

[@echodelta2426]

Excellent. Besides being an awesome diorama artist, your narrative storytelling makes all the more fun. This is one channel I never mute.

[@lewiekong]

This is amazing! I'm subscribed to all you folks and I can't wait to see what the rest of the gang have up their sleeves.

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Alligators. Swamp. Hostile locals. Bill loses his hand. Breakfast of champions. Mini Boylei had a banjo... This needs to be done into a movie. I'd call it "Severance". Fantastic everything, as usual.

[@steampunk8036]

Awesome build! You had me smiling and chuckling throughout the whole video! I especially enjoyed this one! - Rick, USMC

[@MidgardSurvival]

The moment I saw Cafe Du Monde beignets, the craving hit... Now I need to go back to NOLA. I'm glad you got to enjoy such culinary perfection.

[@BerathorPainting]

What an awesome diorama. I love how you got to immortalize this awesome event with friends.

[@SPQRKlio]

I’ve been excitedly awaiting the tales of this epic meet-up! I haven’t watched the whole vid yet, but I assume the diorama is an accurate real-life depiction of the group surrounded by friendly buskers outside Café du Monde. 🐊🎸

[@XTC3D]

A few years ago I started on the journey of 3D printing, from taking what's inside my head and bringing it into world is very satisfying. Keep inspiring my friend!.

[@aleledesma4088]

Totally adore this video, so fun and creative! Like every week I look forward to listen to your fun narrations while you build this interesting dioramas.

You got the cajun waters just right! I am from Louisiana! This is really good! I love it! You even got the alligators looking right!

This by far has to be my most favorite build and video.

[@keeleycarrigan]

This is amazing. Also I’m jealous. Bill and Studson seem hilarious

[@chasonlapointe]

I'm glad to finally get a true and honest account of the meeting, the Sheriff's press conference was light on details.

[@Cyberia398]

Superb. I’m so excited you’re all friends! I wish you could open a museum with all your stuff so we could go and see it IRL - I’d travel to the US for that for sure.

I ❤LOVE❤ your voice, its soooooo relaxing

[@Straswa]

Masterful work Boylei! I love it when you make resin diaromas.

[@Harry1953100]

Another fantastic build. Great story telling as usual. One detail I think is missing from the boat is the rudder behind the fan. Rudder steers the boat. (of course I am no expert on fan boats or swamps)

[@christrefz3195]

Great diorama, alligators are a favotite of mine. And I enjoyed the embellished account of your adventure as well. Will have to check the channels of your chums.

[@encouragingthings]

Heartwarming and exciting at the same time. It's great the see everyone's take on the trip and meet-up, but I think I have a favorite now. If only because it's great to see four epic crafters battling it out with alligators on a broken down river-boat. Plus the detail on Nick's shirt is amazing! Great job and thanks for the fun story!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. It was very entertaining. I like your diorama. 👍🏼

As a proud resident of Louisianan, this story lines up pretty well with what you can expect form a budget swamp tour experience. Highly recommend you try it at lest once!
