Slow but Terrifying Monster Diorama | Relaxing DIY Craft

[@LindenHS-Hillcraft]

If anyone is wondering.. Giant Ground Sloths could dig tunnels, swim surprisingly fast (whales were a major predator of theirs), probably gallop, and were omnivores...

[@herobane6488]

not to mention that they had the biological equivalent of chainmail developed under their skin and literally fought with giant bears for the best caves to sleep in

[@Gadalac]

What's this about sloth chainmail??

[@jaidengomez4493]

Not to mention they too had giant claws

[@stuchly1]

​​@@Gadalactheir skin was infused with tiny pebbles of bone. They had a layer of tiny bones inside of their skin. A mummy of a giant sloth (Mylodon) was found and the scientists studying the remains did an X-ray on it.

[@dylanguillot565]

Yea with these in the wild imaginary west I was thinking it would be awesome if a mining group had enslaved some to dig massive tunnels!

[@smokingfish668]

For the left over kong heads you could in a later diorama make them wall trophies similar to deer head trophies/plaques you'll see on a wall, for example you could make a diorama of a famous monster hunters house and have them hanging on the wall. Edit: Im honestly puzzled on how no one has yet to question my username and profile picture

[@russrandall4834]

The trophy wall is the inside of a Pinkerton office.

[@GreenFrog24-z8b]

That’s such a cool idea!

[@smokingfish668]

@@russrandall4834 good idea

[@yeahhowaboutno9866]

Had the same idea and glad someone posted it before me. Seconded!

[@och70]

Very cool idea. There could also be a future monster that's a hybrid of an ape and reptile. Sort of like a hydra from Greek mythology, but with fewer heads.

[@hollywoodvampires8051]

I would love to see a diorama around the idea of old rope bridges spanning from cliff to cliff. Maybe one of the bridges breaks Indiana Jones style and a monster in the canyon!

[@lejaune711]

yaman

[@friktionrc]

Ooohhh Indian Jones themed crossed with the WildWest theme covering each Indi flick would be absolutely awesome lol

[@nickthebrick2838]

I love how you used the giant ground sloth as inspiration. I love prehistoric animals, so this, as well as the triceratops skeleton diorama you made, really are just awesome. Great work!

[@wallabaatar]

Been waiting for another Wild West monster, and you did not disappoint!!! The story, the craftsmanship, the final look…it’s excellent on every level! And whatever the equivalent of the DMV is in your world, I’d like to imagine your sloth is employed there 😂. Great job Boylei!

[@Writh811]

This is another amazing build. My only comment that wouldn't be considered glowing is that you went with a Sloth and didn't sculpt on their coolest feature: Their super long Freddy Krueger/Wolverine style claws. Whether I knew it was slow or not seeing something that big would scare the s**t out of me and running would be an instinct not a choice. I applaud the pioneer and his horse's mettle.

[@feb1839]

This has gotta be one of my new favorite dioramas by you. Seeing the humans and wildlife just coexisting and minding each others business is a treat we rarely get to see in this world

[@thjacobi2]

Fun fact, giant ground sloths lived in North America during the last ice age, and are believed to have had seed dispersal relationship with osage orange, Joshua, and avocado trees

[@mrknittle532]

As well as paw paw trees.

[@johnmichaelcarlos4844]

chh he gu❤😂😢🎉 1:00

[@endersquid1132]

Literally the only reason avocados still exist is because of human cultivation, their huge seeds were really only edible by megafauna like giant sloths and they should’ve gone extinct

[@ironbomb6753]

The size of the beast really hits on this one. So neat! Love the Wild Imaginary West! ❤👍

[@LucasMakesArt]

Love that you made this diorama more accessible for us commonfolk. Just using a utility knife to cut the foam and showing how you can get beautiful results without a whole bunch of fancy supplies. Appreciate the informative nature of the video and excellent work as always. These are my favorite videos lately. Would love to see all the dioramas you’ve made assembled into a huge world

[@atomicstud]

I like when you post, these videos are both funny yet calming

[@jasonr9449]

I really appreciate the little back stories. It brings the diorama to life.

[@penguinista]

I am glad you mention the safety procedures as you go along. Many people would not think of them and it is easy to get carried away in the excitement and forget those steps. You will keep people safe while educating, entertaining, and inspiring.

[@Redoestimate1988]

The framing for this diorama is great! I love how it sets up both the prospector and the sloth's path in what is effectively a giant letter T.

[@carrie4910]

You could always turn the left over gorilla heads into a two headed water based swamp monster 😁

[@raymondo162]

yip ................ yip

[@Ozark_Kaiser]

You should write a book about this western world! Seriously! It could follow a character that explores this intriguing but terrifying wild west

[@Young_Albino-the-4th]

I started watching you when I was having a rough time and you helped me keep my mind if things for awhile so thank you Boylei for making my life overall better thank you.

[@raymondo162]

bless you

[@garzilla7123]

That was so very cool, I would never have thought of making a giant sloth out of a Kong body and a mink skull it really came out awesome. Your imagination and mind must never shut off, it must be in high gear 24/7. Another amazing build.

[@smokesignal]

Oh boy, another masterful creation! Thanks for all of your amazing work! You've been a huge inspiration in my own hobby time!

[@Tyrexthecreaturedesigner]

I LOVE this design!! Giant ground sloths are one of my favorite prehistoric animals! The thing I love about artists like you (and myself) is that we can make almost anything using our imagination.

[@joaquinvalverdi5777]

Hello boyle , it occurred to me that you could use the miners who look for gold in the river and put some sea monster for your series of Wild imaginary west

[@herrakaarme]

I could see gold panners getting annoyed by freshwater crabs the size of a car getting too close to their operation.

[@The-Ink-Dragon97]

Cowboy walking by: "Hey there, Sid."

[@lionessoftor4139]

Always a great day when new Wild Imaginary West drops. I'm already excited for the next one!

[@andrewaverette5214]

The Man with the Yellow Hat as a badass cowboy is now cannon.

[@katmom49]

A serene…yet creepy…diorama!

[@maroccomo]

Casa Bonita is an amazing restaurant.

[@modelermark172]

As always, what you call "good," I call Excellent! I look forward to your modeling videos as part of my Sunday Mornings. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@lyonanddebanderson4418]

I'm a fellow modeler and imagination. I love your videos and have taken advice from you that make mine look even more realistic, thank you for these videos.

[@elitster]

Awesome! Looking forward to a build that includes a "monster" that has been domesticated to be of use to those from the Wild Imaginary West. (As a work animal, or weapon animal...)

[@earlware4322]

You and me both! You'd think with all of the crypto-wildlife in the WIW that somebody would have found a way to tame (at least partially) one of these fantastical creatures to help out around the farm/homestead. Something as simple as a couple beetles the size of oxen pulling a plow. Or maybe a giant snail turning a millstone...🤔

[@fatali_tais]

bea siscuit is a great name for a horse 10/10

[@oliviawalls9299]

Absolutely love this! The sloth kind of reminds me of the bear creature from Annihilation too!

[@earlware4322]

Another fantastic diorama for the WIW series! I'm simply amazed at how well you scuplted the fur on this giant sloth. It looks so very good! I actually got to see a skekton of a giant sloth while touring a cavern syatrm as a kid. Thing had to be 12' tall at least. This giant specimen would make for an intimidating creature to encounter in the wild. 😱 Keep up the great work sir, I already can't wait for the next one!!

[@johnnydoe66]

I kinda feel sorry for this beast, it's a terrifying looking monster that no one is terrified of.

[@elekaese]

I really enjoy every single video, un abrazo grande de Argentina!

[@Eli_Irwin]

I have a couple questions for you on the off chance you read this, but one, how do you keep dust and stuff off your dioramas to keep them clean? And two, In your Wild Imaginary West are dinosaurs still around, or just fossils for mercenaries to find? (p.s. I love this series, and cant wait to see where it goes!)

[@mrme1973]

So very,very talented. Can’t wait to see a video of all the wild imaginary west stuff together

[@iHax_Cobra]

I must say the time and effort you put into these is astounding. There's no other way I like to sit back and relax than by watching you craft this perfect little world of yours. Thanks for the entertainment and keep it up!

[@wowzers94]

Your creativity and execution are both so impressive!

[@sturgeonxx]

This one was so good, it got my cat worried about what was on my screen 😂 Great job as always!

[@fleurjoesten]

I am astounded by your creativity. Found a King Kong at Wal-Mart, turned it into a giant sloth. It looks breathtaking.

[@mistac5050]

Cool build! Love the terrain and the giant sloth turned out awesome!

[@peppermintnightmare4741]

I love the world that you're building

[@tomtruesdale6901]

What an incredible build. Great work and love the story that goes with it.

[@wolfform]

Sloth: " Do you have any games on your phone?" And btw, personal reactions to that Megatherium I think would be similar to that of Futurama. *>>>>SCREAAaaammm.....checks watch...looks to sloth....yawns....screaaa...oh....wanders away

[@JayhanLordofCats]

Always love the wild west creatures you make, and this one was phenomenal.

[@SvalandGame]

Would be awesome to see a diorama about someone following big footprints, like that one you made in the process. Very nice as usual.

[@jacobhesse981]

You should do another building next. Make a marketplace where hunters of the wild imaginary west have carts and stalls set up to sell monster parts like claws, heads, venom, etc. You could use pieces like the parts you've cut off from other builds there! Also really would love to see you take on a dust devil type monster attacking a ranch with some cows. Maybe Nother water build sometime soon? A structure with a big water wheel on the side of a small river maybe!

[@harrisdewit7322]

Boylei your setting is so amazing I wish there was like a vr immersion or game experience either your wild imaginary west

[@themattman1173]

Imagine that slowly coming at you 😂 this one was little but still had a big story to tell.

[@ImAPerson_]

I love his subtle sense of humor, keep up the good work❤❤

[@Kusuno777]

Love your work man. Can I make a suggestion on making dioramas based on some folk heros in the world? To build the world up more. Especially since this time periods like these would spawn myths in our world. Some I thought of were the following A former soldier who gave tours in a wagon with 2 mini guns. But he saved a tour group from a hurd of violent Jackalpoes from the previous build. A famous trapper who took on a entire den of bevers the size of rotwilers and somehow lived but lost his arm Or maybe someone who somehow tamed these creatures but passed before they could say how they did it and now is just a ledgend of how they did it I mighr add more since these videos always make my creative mind going

[@jasonshiers5771]

Quality stuff as always this channel just keeps on getting better

[@Cynomys1]

I really like the idea in this one of a giant creature that looks scary but which folks know they don't really have to be afraid of as long as they keep moving. Contrasts well with all the truly scary monsters they encounter! 💯

[@AchanCham_]

I'm sure the real danger with Giant Ground Sloths in the Imaginary West is that they are so slow that they may not even realize a Forestall is present before they begin to attack.

[@nudistbuddhist6803]

Gosh love this. I would love a video of some must-have materials for starting out in diorama building. A bit different from the usual format but would be super helpful!

[@BeightonJunction]

40 seconds into the video and Boylie has already Decapitated a gorilla.

[@davestinyworkshopotherprojects]

Great work, I really appreciated how you filled the gaps to turn the action figure into a proper seamless model.

[@JanKonecny8]

First

[@MonsieurPopu]

Boylei's hobby time is my happy time

[@Hanok_diorama]

Boylei~ This time was really great too.

[@iamtryingmybardest]

the anthropologist in me cheered when you said "giant ground sloth" we love those guys!!

[@hamclapper2654]

This project slaps every time

[@DanteD84]

I love seeing all these imaginary West creations ! I wish there was books or shows or something too ! Imagine all the stories

[@nataliabarrios1239]

Why do I love every single thing you make? 😫❤️❤️❤️

[@blaiddthewolf8532]

This diorama is just, so calm. It’s peaceful and it feels almost like when whales come up to people cus they’re curious. No malicious intent, just interest and a overwhelming knowledge that this massive creature is being so so careful, that really, if it wanted, you’d be dead in seconds. This sloth is slow, sure, but they are close enough and its arms long enough that they in no way are guaranteed their safety. It is only because this massive creature feels no ill will that they are safe. Because they are being respectful to it, it will be respectful to them. I just, I love it so much. I love the dioramas of vicious creatures as well, of course, but the sense of calm and respect and mutual understanding in this one is really nice.

[@udorechner6846]

If King Kong could see this he would break down in tears... Beautiful Diorama...

[@Titandioramas]

This imaginary Wild West needs a series of films

[@chrisdrake447]

Who’s not gonna love an adorable zombie Giant Ground Sloth? What a cutie 😍😍😍

[@StevenHawkingsSpitrag]

“Mighty Joe Young” WOW what a throwback reference. I completely forgot about that movie till you mentioned it just now. Holy nostalgia 🤯

[@MamaBearKS]

The physical pain I got from you dismantling the Neca King Kong figure is unparalleled, but of course the results of your diorama were more than worth it, great video as always!

[@williamwallacethompson6817]

Personally think this is top of the Wild Imaginary West diorama builds you have done. I am not sure why, I know it may not be the most super complex but there is something about it! Keep up the great work!

[@Skoxe]

I love the Imaginary Wild West! I have definitely taken an idea or two and used them as inspiration in my dnd games

[@CthonicSoulChicken]

Casa Bonita reference for the win! I can't WAIT until they reopen!

[@markusvurrgh4549]

Sweet little nonchalant Curious George reference there. Well Played.

[@raymondo162]

and a good google, too........................

[@tachi98lep]

Now that was one scary Giant Sloth, I would never take my time around that monster.

[@TealCheetah]

the sloth eye marking paint took this from soso to wow!

[@AmateurScaleModelBuildi-lj3so]

I love it, very cool, the king kong to sloth transformation is sweet

[@thomasohanlon1060]

Would never had known that the sloth started out as Mighty Jo Young/King Kong, you sir have some real talent. Great video.

[@Lizard_Man45]

I love the more passive creatures in the wild imaginary west. Shows that not all is bad and scary out there

[@toothiee]

Was not expecting a man in the yellow hat reference when clicking on this video. Love how the giant sloth looks!

[@hazonku]

Large yellow hat was chef's kiss.

[@wyatthill2802]

This animal is probably my favorite so far, would be so sick to see a herd of them on the planes

[@alextowers3564]

This one's my favourite. There's something hauntingly terrifying about the size of the monster as well as its face.

[@dendronkenfoetus]

Tat shot at the end with the horse and the guy in front and the giant sloth face looming in the background! Brilliant!

[@sabernyari8574]

Love your Wild West Dioramas.

[@philRminiatures]

A spectacular and gorgeous diorama...and giant! 👍👍

[@CCMinis]

Incredible work Boylei!

[@David-h6h2j]

Awesome repurposing job. Turned out really good...👍👍

[@SGTCloneComrade]

Someone needs to make a video game of the wild imaginary west

[@braydenscott5229]

The 'Bea Siscuit' name for the horse came out of nowhere and I love it

[@TacKnight]

Boylei should go back and make more dioramas with some of the monsters he has already made to making it feel more real. How would people know so much about them if one kind of monster barely appears.

[@stuchly1]

I am so excited to see extinct animals, or beasts inspired by them, living at the same time as people in your universe. That's so fun to imagine!

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

I'll say it again. I'd watch the hell out of a wild imaginary west tv series with a mosnter of the week format.

[@kupferbergbahn7952]

You can really tell just how large this monster is, juxtaposed well by the fact it's too slow to be a threat to the human on the cliff here. It looks so intimidating with that bare skull surrounded by moss-covered fur, I really like it! Good that you can't see the eyes either. It might just be me, but I like how it appears that the sloth has been digging the trail that the human is using, as it looks like part of the path has fallen away.

[@readingking1421]

The King Kong figure worked out great for this one. 'Giant ground sloth' wasn't the first thought I'd have tor the WIW but it works fantastic.

[@cocobaconproductions]

You've got some mad skills, man.

[@ToxicHippos]

This one might be my favorite in the 'Imaginary Wild West' series

[@MPcat-4791]

That sloth came is awesome!

[@bentonmiller1995]

The giant gorilla skulls would be awesome as “trophies” decorating another monsters den!
