Star Wars Pod Race with Realistic Beams of Light

#Diorama #StarWars #Podracer
This week, I combined my two kitbashed podracers and a model kit of Anakin’s podracer to build one large Pod Race diorama.

Dang....the patrons builds deserve their own video. Wow

Really! There were some outstanding builds! I need to rewatch and pause on them!

I always appreciate you mentioning the safety steps you take. You see to many people glossing over some of the hazards of the hobby.

[@merickful]

Watch those bindings... they could make your hand go numb for hours.

[@bearimo2867]

[@rarepepe6197]

I think something that would help with the feeling of speed is dust clouds being kicked up by the engines and maybe some "speed lines" coming off the pod racers themselves.

[@dougmclaren2868]

In an absolute sense, fins open right would make a right bank. However, the pods are moving relative to each other. The Anakin pod is doing what we see in the movie a couple times - hard jank followed by a slam forward to get around the pod in front of him.

[@devonpenner7177]

I came to say this too, if Ani was banking left, the left airbrakes would be opened up 🤓😶 your explanation is perfect though

[@SlaphappyMongoose]

IT'S 25 YEARS SINCE THE PHANTOM MENACE!?!?!?!?!?! Thanks my knees hurt.

[@moehoward01]

That's what I said... Edit: The kid that played young Anakin would be about 35 now.

[@tappajavittu]

25 years of disappointment.

[@ScreamingSkull13]

Really? Has it been that long already?

[@That-Guy_]

The Nintendo pod racer game was awesome.

[@xgomenx]

You feel old? I farted and threw my back out! Getting old is no fun 😅😭 But 25 years?! Dang... Might need to go back and watch it again now

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Uh... yeah...that motion effect....absolutely fantastic.

[@stefank188]

I just realized those led noodles are perfect for a ghostbusters diorama.

[@vedantratnaparkhi3768]

What are those led called

[@Enoxix.]

The pod race in one of the first Star Wars movies is still one of my favorite scenes!

[@Verity_Auger]

"one of the first movies"........yes......way to make me feel old.😭

[@chariskreeger3501]

i like that you added "Are you an Angel" when Anakin and Padme first meet.

[@evermoreenchanted]

love the patrons builds! wow! especially ForestMoon Jawa podracer 2024 at 9:49...great to see what patrons are up to...

[@herbveitenhans3285]

The patrons really did well this time and the addition of the fiber fill for dust was amazing. Maybe you need to update this model already.

[@personified5102]

Adam Hill's pod racer is astonishing.

[@Ajhilzy]

Thanks!!!

[@jackelise6340]

I think the airbrushed movement looks beautiful, what an amazing idea!

[@SeqentialResiduals]

I pretty much never comment on here but I need to mention how serendipitous it is that this popped up in my feed after I played Episode 1 Racer a ton this week. And off course, fantastic build! Very much inspiring me to put together a pod racer.

[@animatorxstudios100]

the air brushing makes it look like they're flying over mountains way down below them. I think that could be a useful technique for future dioramas.

[@Straswa]

Masterful work Boylei and fantastic work by the Patrons too!

[@bjw4859]

That was just a pleasure to watch, those glowey noodle lights just take that build to a whole different level.

[@Haromour]

The tool gag reminds me of Leslie Nielsen gag, love it

[@scaleffect]

Very convenient your previous racers were all about the same 1/32 scale. A fine addition to your collection. Watto would be impressed.

[@thatmerrycanary]

You know it’s a good day when Boylei Hobby Time posts 🫡

[@sachamerilion118]

You should make an Antarctic research base with a monster under the ice 👍

[@DafyddRoche]

oh the blue led's would be epic.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

The Conwy board from Terrain Tronics is the real deal....a total game changer. Great job!

[@DafyddRoche]

You have no idea how nice it is to read this, having no idea in advance that you’d written it.

[@Chickazoid]

Man I wish your videos were longer! I could watch you make awesome things for hours!😍

[@Lilteep]

Dang shout out to all the patrons artist, every single one of those were very fire would buy a lot of them

[@jamess.2599]

The pod race was in fact awesome.

[@billcedarheath387]

At some point there should be a public gallery for all your dioramas so that they can be enjoyed in all their glory.

[@summonlessermaker]

This diorama turned out so good the speed streaks you painted on has a good effect

[@Leescreativeart]

The airbrush move was a solid choice. Looks great with everything in place. Really heat build

[@terrydavis5924]

The streaks on the backdrop look odd on their own, but in the context that the eye or camera is following the fast vehicles, it gives the impression that the ground is zooming past and streaking the camera lens, very nice.

[@TekGeekDad]

Love this one - and been a goal of mine to do. Awesome outcome! The one from modeling medic also came out great and I love the lighting and dust trails he added!

[@modelermark172]

This is incredible work, as always, Boylei! And your motion-effect on the base really sells the scene! Not too bad for an 'experimental' idea . . . . Though "The Phantom Menace" has its detractors, one thing that I appreciate about it is the now iconic Pod Racing scene; mainly for the inspiration that the basic concept provided for modelers of Science Fiction subjects. Though Anakin's Pod was the only one actually kitted, (I would have also liked a model of the one Sebulba used,) the idea of Pod Racing has inspired thousands of scratch built examples that are as unique as they are canon-compliant - like the two you have framing Anakin in this scene. I suspect that even diehard "Star Wars" fans would be hard-pressed to realize that your designs are originals that weren't actually in the movie. Thanks for sharing this build with us! My Like is in the 1.4Ks.

[@Themodelman]

Oh yeah this is where the fun begins

[@CTDioramas]

Awesome! I feel like you should keep adding more racers to this down the line 😁

[@SabakuNoShi]

Great job. They look amazing all together!

[@chemgeektim]

Nice! I love all the boards from Terrain Tronics!

Thank you Tim!

[@zestylamb]

I have never clicked on a video so fast! Prequels rule!

[@dodamourafreitas]

Me neither!!

[@mental....]

Prequels are the best

[@DanBoy42]

Originals, Brilliant! Prequels, awesome. There were no sequels...

[@lightningscreations]

@@DanBoy42I heard some group of people tried making prequels. Very unheard of and hated by the little that viewed them.

[@dennissmith5807]

No. Only TPM is good. AOTC is horrid.

[@merickful]

The prequels were good. I feel safe saying that now given recent developments. Great idea to make a race scene! They really come to life! Elijiah wins the contest for sure.

[@johndean2110]

That is cool. Love the star wars dioramas. 👍

[@TacKnight]

Every year you do a new podracer. Keep at it and you'll have an army.

[@shaynecoventry8894]

Nicely done. Oddly enough I cannot seem to find LED noodles like those. I would like to for my own projects. Gorgeous modeling. You should do wonderfest!

[@DafyddRoche]

Hi, Dafydd from Terraintronics here. I'm really really biased. :) I have them at my store - fast shipping in the US (not quite as good as Amazon, but they'll be in the mail within 24 hours!)

Dude, love your work. Especially your “wild imaginary west” works. Given me tons of helpful knowledge I’ve been using to amplify D&D with my friends. Working on some cowboy marine inspired guardsmen rn 🤠

In addition to it being the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, it's also the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars.

Nice! The scale of the kit matches exactly by the way

[@TerrainTronics]

Awesome build! Sneaky though! You didn’t ask me for ANY help! I normally know when a collaborators video is coming due to the slew of questions beforehand! Clearly, you’re a pro with this stuff! Looking forward to collaborating with you in the future.

[@Jawwzzz808]

They need to bring back Pod Racing in the future or at least a cameo appearance of it. Great work btw 👌🏽

[@Flyingfezzik]

You should do a Lego mixed diorama where you use a Lego set and build a diorama with

[@fredburley9512]

Given me a good reason to watch the movie again. Cool. Kind of inspired me to finish off my "Luke in the trench, Death Star" diorama I started - that was to have a blurry effect, I built the small scale Revell ships but got stuck on how to proceed with the scene. You have some great ideas. (Like the kid's Lego pod, by the way.) 👍

[@Trashbash_Creations]

That's so cool! It looks amazing! Great job as always! well done.

[@Moowe291]

They can literally still make a podracer movie and nobody would complain, that's how good the concept is. Why they still don't I have no clue.

[@dakotahoker1922]

Star Wars Podracer is still one of my all time favorite racing games.

Wow, it was so cool that I kept replaying it I want the video to be a little longer.

just when i was planning to sleep, this banger comes out

[@holypanda2301]

I personally think that this diorama is one of my favorites of yours. I do think that a barotrauma model would be cool or like a monster chasing a submarine

[@antonypierre7203]

Amazing diorama, I am waiting for a Sebulba podracer kit to to the same with Sebulba and Anakin

[@MGB-learning]

great build, presentation and video.

[@markjohnson9136]

Awesome. On earth, increasing the drag by opening the fins would pull the aircraft to the right. I don’t remember how it was in the film. Either way, who cares? It looks great!

[@miguelmonteiro1239]

Loved the mock, but one thing that might have helped in the end is some dust clouds in the back of the pods, I think it could look good.

[@StarbyterOddities]

Hey dude! Just wanted to let you know I was binging your wild imaginary west playlist, and noticed that your western building 9 video isn't in the list 💙 This was so rad!! I've only discovered you a few days ago, and I've already learned so much from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your work

[@Boylei]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@Modguy555]

Also can you do a painting tutorial on star wars legion?

[@MaxRide1]

Love this!! It occurred to me that painting the wooden veneer black either after cutting to size and before sticking to the model (or painting the entire sheet black and then cutting the strips you need from it) would prevent accidental over painting and also be a smidgen easier?

[@ParkerHughes-nt8cl]

I have been watching this guy since the beginning and he has got better at every one and me to he made me like models more and more

I’ll try spinning that’s a good trick
