Realistic Looking Miniature Explosions

#Diorama #StarWars #Resin
Decided to start the year off with a bang! In this video, I recreated a moment from Rogue One where an AT-ACT is split in half by an X-Wing at the battle of Scarif. I made the serene tropical setting with resin water, palm trees, and a Bandai AT-AT as the centerpiece of this build.

“AC-AC-DC” 😂😂 For him about to build, we salute you! This diorama is so visually appealing! Another great job Boylei.

[@nline2blast722]

Looks like they were carrying some TNT Dynamite

[@just5fornow]

​@@nline2blast722Mm, don't you just love unstable explosive devices?

[@britishbricks9795]

LET THERE BE ROCKS (on the beach)

[@snow-in4zp]

​@@nline2blast722do you think they were thunderstruck?

[@Misha..K]

Easy peasy 😂

[@jacobhesse981]

You should do a Wild Imaginary West video where explorers come across an oasis in the desert or hidden in an open top cave to use more palm trees.

[@matthewchernesky8382]

I was also going to suggest a desert oasis! He could have an underwater sea monster that lures weary and dehydrated travelers for lunch.

[@Mstr1212]

I thought about a scene on hawaii which is technically still the US, maybe a monster shark gobbeling up some unfortenate souls that just wanted a vacation and pause from being hunted on the mainland

[@carebear8762]

There are native fan palms in oasis near, wait for it, Palm Springs.

[@mikemulvihill6895]

Pirates of the imaginary Caribbean

[@allenharding8604]

Just do a wild west florida man diorama

[@modelermark172]

Simple, imaginative, and beautifully rendered, Boylei! And, yes, DEFINITELY do something Pirate related for a future project, (as well as more of your Wild Imaginary West, please!) Also, have you ever considered a diorama of the Galactic Empire from "Star Wars" invading Earth? Imagine an AT-AT being strafed by A-10's, or F-15's and MiG's in a scrape with TIE Fighters . . . . Thank you for sharing this with us. My 'Like' is somewhere in the 300's.

[@marioperrotta7736]

I always wanted to see the starwars universe mixed in with the original Battlestar Galactica

[@davidmichelsen22]

Wild Imaginary Caribbean - Pirate Series

[@Bull7]

Pirate/ Wild West crossover would go crazy

[@gen2mediainc.577]

feel like missiles would be useful for the ties, and I’m not sure they carry any.

[@krsanth-4142]

An idea for a 'bookend' diorama to match this one, would be Blue leader over water shooting at it.

[@jpotter2086]

An excellent pair of bookends would be the two halfs of the walker!

[@kcman08]

You could use the palm trees In a jurassic Park diorama or something similar. Love the diorama keep it up

[@Epelpaj]

I am a big fan of the Monkey Island games. You could integrate palm trees into a diorama inspired by those pirate games :)

[@deadwolf2978]

Guybrush Threpwood? The Mighty Pirate? TM 😂😅😅

[@DoofyGood]

Your dioramas never fail to impress. I love the paint job on the AT-ACT, the wave effect on the water, and the explosion. Great job once again.

[@FUCKINGRI0T]

It's a At-At in the diorama...

[@bigmonke7661]

I think I might lose it after hearing AT-ACT so many times

[@supermoonlover]

an oasis diorama would be amazing for those palm trees!

[@wAwCreator]

simple - so different. 🎉

[@matthewcochran3325]

4:22 AC AC DC now THAT is a Star Wars film I want to see!

[@Blitz9H]

I agree! Rogue One is one of the best Star Wars movies since the original trilogy. Excellent work, and great for morale!

[@insanityjohn122]

i wanna thank this channel to help me build some confidence to start doing a more creative hobby

[@acepilot7716]

After you said “maybe something pirate themed” I immediately thought of the cannibal island from dead man’s chest! Imagine a scene like them climbing the cliff in the bone cage or the black pearl crashed on the shore! Heck maybe even the rolling water wheel mill thingy. 😂 either way keep up the builds!

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

If it's not an original one, the water wheel from the mill alone would present an amazing challenge. The movie loves to play with scale by having it far away in the background during sword fights. Which is awesome

[@atasoy]

Perfect ❤

[@reeft]

I mean this in the very best way but your videos always make me sleepy, often I just fall asleep watching them. They put me at ease, so soothing and comforting.

[@Tomy_Yon]

This is giving me my happy thoughts and sunny vibes, even though something is getting completely annihilated.

[@kelleyakakillimore]

The palm trees reminded me of my favorite childhood book “Where The Wild Things Are”

[@thunderwolf5103]

Oh a sea monster in the imaginary wild west!!! Maybe a scene on a sunny beach on the far west coast with some explorers not knowing what lies in the water beyond the sand! Perfect for those palm trees! Or even a battle!

[@pyrerock]

I always love your Star Wars dioramas.

[@sarahmtrager]

New spin-off series idea!! Adventures in the Imaginary West Indies!

[@aliasbillsmith7200]

Another Sunday morning of my daughter and I watching a new Boylei creation. We love it!

[@markc.7984]

I love jungle scenes! Ancient ruins in a jungle, rebel base in a jungle, abandoned InGen lab compound in the jungle, dinosaurs and volcano in the jungle, etc.!

[@annbrookens945]

Your fires look so realistic! You just do such a great job on them!

[@l1277]

Palm trees, my immediate thought was a desert island survivor, a la Robinson Crusoe. And I'm sure it'd be awesome if you could link it to the Wild Imaginary West somehow.

[@dvsblades187]

As somebody that loves Star Wars your diagrama was perfect

[@FemmeBeatale]

Idea using palm trees: Pirate ship/pirates parked off the shore of a giant turtle island

[@evanmladovan58]

A Jurassic World themed diorama would be cool and you could incorporate palm trees on like a beach

[@frankhankJunior]

probably my favorite build thus far in your collection

[@Wyrmskull]

I find your art to be inspirational. I’m extremely new to the craft and am a fan. I look forward to seeing the story with your western world.

[@nileswilson577]

You The Man, Sweet. Never feel bummed out after your podcasts.

[@BobaKnut]

Your Star Wars dioramas are the best!!!

[@karakreativevlog]

Rogue One was an awesome movie!

[@rito_gamer]

Rogue One is also my favorite movie outside of the trilogies! Awesome diorama!!

[@jasonshiers5771]

Amazing how life like it looks !

[@chrisdrake447]

Oh man, you crack me up every episode. Your commentary and on-screen asides every week are priceless. It’s a joy to watch and listen to...

[@brentonjoseph]

You really ate this up. Perfect composition. 💜

[@detlefd2270]

Regarding the palm trees. Maybe some pirates got lost near a coast during the wild imaginary west and encountered a monster living at the shore or they happen to disturb a nice cowboy campfire set for celebrating the victory against a massive beast which lead to a fight between them. Thank you for giving us these masterpieces!! You are a true inspiration and make my evenings so delightful.

[@umbrellacorp.]

When you can make such a simple diorama look Soo good you're a Pro. You Really have Serious Skills.😎👍💯

[@hakonboen]

Loving the "new" humorus voice over, made me chuckle severeal times! Keep it up, great work as always

[@awol787]

Two of my favorite things in one video. Rogue one, and pirates. Even though it was just a brief mentioning of an idea. I’d absolutely love to see what incredible diorama you’d create with a pirate theme!!

[@andyball9872]

One of your best sir! I love AT-AC/DC’s

[@cainsgalacticcreations]

Rouge one has so much amazing inspiration! As always these models turn out great.

[@WolchBot]

I am the most impressed that your cutting mat is so clean. Also the diorama was alright too.

[@beatrizlacerda4662]

Yes! Defintely something pirate! (Pirates of the Caribbean meets Wild Imaginary West!)

[@therewolf9988]

Yes! Pirates during the wild imaginary west! Crazy sea monsters and privateer ironclads.

[@T-CAT24]

thats one of my favourite scenes in rogue one!

[@mistac5050]

Great build! And thanks for the sneak peek of your upcoming WILD IMAGINARY... PIRATE... TOWN!

[@GrmDark]

Literally the day after i watch Rogue one at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on may the 4th, KZbin recommends me this video🤣 lol I know exactly the scene when this diorama happens 🖤👍

[@bradcraig6676]

Yes and more yes to anything involving pirates and palm trees! Great dio BTW.

[@oliverlaw4213]

Really love your humour and vids thank you for everything

[@tracksidemike]

Wow fantastic work all the way through. I enjoy Sundays just to see what you’re up to. Great share enjoy the rest of your day 😎🫵

[@LemonPandaStudios]

A pirate diorama would be a great video! And would include the palm trees.

[@chandlerlarocque9012]

I first discovered you about a year ago and have watched every single video you posted. When I finally see that notification you came out with a new video, it makes me so happy. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@markcreighton5888]

Luke splitting an AT-ST in half is the rule of cool, love that build one of your best IMO

[@chadw661]

The fact you know the difference is why I subscribe. Also palm trees could lead to some pretty great Florida man diorama’s

[@ashtronotmyproblem]

I live in Hawaii! You tent to see palm trees spread apart, but it is common to see them in small clumps like you did in the diorama. Beautiful piece by the way! ❤

[@nickv.1292]

I like how basic and simple this one is. He can make some of the most beautiful pieces but this time it looked like anyone could have did it. I like it 😎👍🏼

[@woodlanderstudios]

Love it! Rogue One is one of my favs as well. I also love the idea of having Luke cutting an AT-AT in half!

[@seankearney2592]

Simple and Very effective....Simply Stunning...

[@DragonGodProductions]

I really want to say; I love your videos and they continuously inspire me to create and craft. Thank you for sharing your hobby with us here on the internet

[@silentnoyze]

Amazing outcome. Would love something like this on display in my home, if only I can afford one. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching 👍🏼

[@Bluesauce42]

Jungle theme = more palm trees and ❤ the channel

[@Miraak0Konahrik]

Perhaps a diorama of the creatures that exist in the more central american islands but in the same universe as the wild imaginary west? I would be really interested to see what kind of tropical sea creatures could dwell there :) After all Tahiti seems popular with certain cowboys.

[@TomJones0065]

Ah ha, How about a SKULL diorama with A Almost Buried Treasure! With a Western Theme Like All your Other COOL Dioramas!! Love The water Effects!!!! Thanks For Your Craftyness!

[@H4rry5]

please make more star wars dioramas , these are great

[@benedictlaube7099]

pirate ship battle would look awesome!

[@ShinobiAlphaOG]

Well done Boylei, you have fantastic taste on Star Wars. We don't talk about the other six dumpster fires. Ooo new diorama idea, AT-AT shaped like giant dumpsters on fires to depict those we shall not acknowledge 😀

[@JustCallMeRazzberryAzzyV1]

Pirates fighting Vikings on a beach would be cool, and a great use of the plamtrees

[@bowenwerner3085]

we need some Pirates of the Caribbean dioramas! great wayto integrate palm trees and i think a lot of people would love to see it. love the videos by the way

[@theleveretts4179]

So ridiculously cool

[@thegreenonscreen]

this is so awesome!! I think you could incorporate palm trees in a Vietnam war diorama! perhaps some American soldiers on a patrol through the jungle? maybe they are being stalked by an abnormally large snake? I would also like to see an avatar diorama! (avatar with the humanoid smurfs)

[@Micah__]

That AT&T came out awesome!

[@madisonlittlefield]

The Wild Imaginary West Caribbean!!!

[@hudsonpicken8838]

A medium sized pirate ship that is firing four cannons at the beach with a weird monster on it. You could put the palm trees around it and maybe one getting hit my a cannonball. I love your videos.

[@Astro1derboy]

Fantastic as usual. Although they are all interdependent, Rogue One (and the Andor series) is by far my favorite, too. 😎😎

[@A.J.Animates]

its been a while since I've watched you but glad your still putting out the same old great models

[@connorfernandes9439]

I think it would be super cool if you made a video showing off all your dioramas if you have a bunch displayed in a cool way somewhere. Would be sick to see them all together by theme or something. Love your star wars ones!

[@Ilostmycactus]

Always a pleasure to watch!

[@deanought3695]

Pirates versus uncontacted tribal people!!!!! Maybe the pirates could be running from arrows and spears. I think that would be a fun video. And a good way to show off them palms.

[@bruha9401]

Thank you for the tipp with the leds😊

[@nolanp13]

Would absolutely LOVE something pirate related. Maybe a shipwreck on an island?? Love the content, keep it up!

[@piptyson5512]

Very nice. And yes, Rogue One was a damn fine Star Wars movie!!

[@Moccason]

Rouge one is my favourite Star Wars film :D

[@rabidspace6951]

A cool technique I saw to create them were cutting up some craft store feathers into the leaf shape, and then airbrush them various shades of green. And using a metal armature roll some air dry clay to do the bark structure on them. Finally for that weird fuzz they have on the top of the tree mixed in with the leaves. Some Ak interactive sea grass works well for those fibers. Once you add them all together and paint them up they make a decent representation of palm trees.

[@scnichols65]

Awesome build! Pirates of the carribean where he's stuck on the island would be cool.

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding build, video and presentation.

[@ThatTallGingerYT]

WOW! This was awesome! May I suggest some warg riders from The Hobbit? Maybe a giant cliff scene with the thirteen dwarves and a couple trees.

[@katiebellmichelle]

Its so realistic looking 😲

[@sarastepp2705]

I just love your videos and all the stuff you make.

[@TophSinex]

ooooo a one piece diorama could use palm trees and is very pirate themed and you could probably have a lot of fun kitbashing the Straw Hat's ship "Thousand Sunny"! I'd love to see that

[@Straswa]

Masterful work Boylei!

[@beboobeeped]

this will be the best palm tree recommendation hands down. GTA VI scene. relevant, and palm trees usage

[@PurplEWolFGaminG]

Wow absolutely amazing

[@jfcfanfic]

I would have added a couple of pieces at the bottom of the beach...but still an awesome result. Love it.

[@greyfox78569]

Desert road warrior for the palm tree suggestion.

[@battleonize]

Another amazing build! Maybe you could do a WIW diorama with palm trees if the travelers can make it to California and see the Pacific Ocean with some WIW pirates or sea monsters. Love your vids!

[@69adrummer]

A "jurassic park" themed diorama would be a great use for more palms! Maybe the scene where the jeep is in the tree and the fence is all broken down. Could have "led hazard flashers" going on the jeep!!

[@pipspastryshop]

Awesome build! A cool diorama with palm trees would be a scene from Uncharted

[@notworthyy]

I was so happy when I saw this was the diorama for the week

[@xbpbat21x]

You make it look so easy...Great job.
