Wild Western Monster Hunt | The Golden Bear

#WildWest #GoldenBear #Diorama
This week I was looking for legendary American creatures on the internet and found the Golden Bear. It sounded like a great addition to my Wild West. I also found an awesome little bear figure at my local hobby store that was the perfect size!

Loving every minute of this Weird West project. How about an airship being attacked by some kind of flying monster?

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Ooh that would be a good one!

[@handyhomebrewnetwork2142]

I live in Kansas and have heard the lore of the Golden Bear! This wild west playground you've created is captivating! I want a 3 part movie series, a Netflix prequel, comics, toys, and the occasional McDonald's tie in! Thank you!

[@Walkyrjenny]

What they said. No, really.

[@earlware4322]

Don't forget the multi-platform RPG as well as the animated spin-off series! Seriously, I would settle for any two of the above mentioned suggestions! As long as one of them is a hour long streaming TV series... Either that or a four-part trilogy movie franchise.

It might make a good book. How about starting a Google doc for people to write?

[@doejon9424]

I think some type of nest with a giant egg would be cool. Like some miners up in the hills looking for a vein of gold & they run into a giant egg in a nest.. maybe hatched with bones all around and a giant feather to show how massive the flying creature is.

[@josephstalin2543]

Please do this. ..

[@doejon9424]

@@josephstalin2543 I really think he should! I love the monsters.. but a nest & egg would be so cool. He hasn't done something like that. And he wouldn't need an actual creature. Just some feathers around the nest so you can get an idea of how big the momma creature is. Plus an egg that they could take a bath in ?! Oh yes. I think it would be so wicked cool for his town.

[@theherrdark4834]

Ah, a Thunderbird nest, and some believe the legend originated when tribe members found fossils of a pterosaur. A pteranodon wingspan is about 7 meters(about 23 feet), the native Americans would have compared it to the other winged creature in their knowledge, birds, and given it feathers. This would have been terrifying to them something bigger than an eagle or a condor.

[@doejon9424]

@@theherrdark4834 Yes! Man eaters ! A bird so big it's capable of snatching unsuspecting children & dropping them like eagles do with their prey or tearing some unsuspecting miners up for dinner!!

[@saucercrabzero]

@@theherrdark4834 Yes! The Thunderbird is a classic western legend, it would fit in amazingly

[@mikes5637]

If you're going to do more American creatures of legend you have to do the wendigo. Since no artwork seems to agree on what it looks like you can go nuts with your imagination. Loving this series.

[@themanwhowouldbebrick]

Yessss the wendigo

[@Wajeeba]

I was literally just thinking a wendigo would be cool, glad to see others think so too :D

I'm down for that. Hopefully people don't bitch about it.

[@wakogoobie9240]

This series is so fun. I love the old west and its imagery. I'm almost inspired to do an Australian version of this series. We have Bunyips here, that'd be fun to build. Even today people up in the mountains reckon they turn to smoke or teleport into their chicken coops and steal their chooks. The air is a little thinner up there.

[@aussiepilot7886]

Ahh the elusive teleporting Aussie bunyip

[@wolfford5395]

I'd watch that!!

[@Y3n_nefer]

I’d love to see a Wendigo stalking a group of hunters in a Forrest, I think that would look pretty cool.

[@earlware4322]

Yeah, see that would be a cool aspect of the diorama have the hunting party following a set of tracks, but themselves are being hunted by the Wendigo. That would be fricken' awesome!!

[@nanoqht285]

[@adamwatson6693]

Loving the wild west projects, how about a scene of Mecha's taking down a giant rattle snake. Could be cool. 👍

[@geckenzie]

Giant Rattlesnake would be sick!

[@Maximilian2000]

Wedigos stalking a man in the woods would look pretty cool at a diorama

[@joanduthie1689]

Bro, this bear has got this fight in the bag. It’ll be a sad day in the hunting village, but the legend of the Golden Bear will love on to fight another day.

[@watto2355]

Loving the series. Really good. A new idea could be an attempted hold up of a stage coach by outlaws. Full of action.

[@tcemedic100]

Absolutely amazing and as always love watching your builds. A challenge would be something flying, thunder Bird, giant eagle type bird etc.

[@CMElliotte]

Two oversized boar attacking a group of miners besides a vertical mineshaft. One of the miners was just hit and looks like he's going to fall into the mineshaft. Really love the series!

[@lauraandedwardcannon8861]

Love the build. I am not sure the bear is big enough to be giant though, grizzlies can grow to 13 feet or so so I imagine a truly legendary bear would be much more than that. Really appreciated the color of the bear, grounded in reality.

[@dustyrose192]

Perhaps its a teenager

[@gideonwilkins5347]

I'm really enjoying this series so far. hopefully we get many more!

[@oskarmatula7703]

Every single piece you made so far is amazing, love how they all tell their own stories just by looking at them! Can't wait to see more!

[@thestarwarsandmorechannel9489]

I agree

[@TheCammunist]

Red Dead Redemption 2 Online has missions where you can track and hunt the Golden Bear so the fact that you made this a Western theme as well is just perfect. :3

[@Trollberg60north]

You could build a sea scene where a Mosasaurus is leaping out of the sea with just the end of the tail still in the water and a small lobster/fishing boat beside it for scale. Another idea is a Mosasaurus coming up with its mouth open englufing a lobster boat.

[@FamineStudios]

Bear always wins in these combat situations. I love this universe you've created.

[@tomgreen708]

The “tis but a scratch” makes me wish KZbin had a love button 🤣

[@mroberts453]

You know you’ve hit the mark when you stare at it long enough and start wanting a movie/story made of this.

[@cades.g2225]

So glad KZbin recommended this to me. I don’t watch anything like this but now I’m addicted!

[@jackfallows1893]

As I've mentioned in almost every other video in this series: I LOVE THIS SERIES. Another excellent little vignette to help flesh out this world you're creating. Was it intentional to leave out any sort of tech-y stuff from this one, or just that the scene didn't call for anything? Would love to see an underground scene in a mine!

[@THESLlCK]

well to be fair even in this real-world era of VR headsets and gesture control car infotainment, deep amazonians are still only experiencing modernity in the form of cotton shirts

[@Joesoe06]

I would love to see a huge wild boar or something like a monstrous toad. I love your videos. Keep up the good and inspiring work, cheers!

[@CommisarSnakePlaysbadly]

Your western themed builds remind me of the film "Valley of Gwangi". Which I loved as a kid . Thank you

[@firstnamelastname9444]

I look forward to this every single week. It’s really inspired me to get back into my own diorama-making.

[@Deceptichop]

I’d recommend using something like Vallejo paint’s “Crackle Base” for certain desert and dry creek bed bases. Looks great and changes up the texture quite a bit. Love these videos! Keep it up.

[@slate613]

Well, the general rule of thumb when dealing with bears is you only have to be faster than anyone else it's chasing. I give the one with the rifle the best odds since he's the farthest away. 😆 Amazing work, this whole series looks like it's straight out of the Deadlands RPG.

[@LaserGadgets]

Reminds me of my fav Far Cry game.

Wow! Such professional finesse but the humor just brings it to a whole new level! This Sci-Fi Wild West world is really coming together! I really love this series along with all your Star Wars projects.

[@gwynplaine4198]

A chill scene with a scientist trying to photograph jackalope as they emerge from their burrows.

[@Christiang-qv8yz]

You should do a monster that has wings! Like a giant hawk, owl, or bat. Anything that can take flight. Maybe a pterodactyl and I'm loving the content!

[@Weeohhweeohh]

Seriously cool builds mang! Reservation Dogs had an episode with the Long Man. Would be interesting if you can incorporate that folk legend into something.

[@Colahdetank]

Love the series! Would love to see the western inspired space ship the Pinkerton astronauts came on from the mine build, or an old settlers ship.

[@earlware4322]

That has been the one aspect of these Wild Imaginary West builds that Boylei hasn't shown us so far, the ships. Would really love to see how he "westernizes" a spaceship!

[@scarlettredwater6014]

I love this series!!! I can't wait for it to grow :D Also I'd love to see any aerial creatures, or maybe monster hunting but underwater? Also cute scenes like a wolf pack just chillin on a rock or something.

[@daveygivens735]

You could make an entire TV series from these; one per episode.

[@DadofAllTrades]

This series is fantastic. I've not seen anyone else do similar and it has so much available direction. You have not done a serpent so the Uktena would be something to consider. Also a Agropelter attacking unsuspecting travellers could be interesting.

[@ulisesmontes4809]

I would like to see a saber tooth cat or a dire wolf would be pretty cool!

[@scottphillipy9831]

Another wonderful build, the Bear all the way, just got back from Yellowstone. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSurlySoutherner]

Love this series, always had a soft sport for the Wild West. Might be why RDR2 is one of my favourite video games. Well, there was foreshadowing of Trains. Maybe a Wild West station for the Town? ;)

[@christophermarcantel2759]

This series is one of my favorites. Would love to see you use some type of flying creature in the future

[@DoctorZisIN]

Great scene. I like the crypto beasts like the Chupacabra or the Jackalope. Also giant bugs are cool because they're so creepy. Pick any bug and make it big. A swarm or colony of them is even better.

[@euansmith3699]

Paw Ol' Bear. Another great build and relaxing video.

[@luke5767]

Really enjoying this Wild West series...... how about a really large rattle snake in there sometime as one of the monsters? I think that would be cool and fitting for this series.

[@chadbassig9801]

[@mattgill2784]

My favorite series of videos! I think either A)train robbery B) "Cattle" rustlers, cattle might not have to be bovine... C) breaking in wild horses like from the John Wayne film, Cowboys Either of these have potential to make some very dynamic miniature scenes

[@bxa]

We need more Wild West series! ❤️

[@FlyMedicMcLeod]

This is a great series! Since it mixes sci if and westerns, it would be great to see an old west flying machine added to the mix. Some sort of make shift helicopter or plane.

[@wackyjacky799]

I've said this before and i'll say it again, it would be the sickest thing if you made a bounty hunter with a giant raptor instead of a horse. But I'm loving these videos anyways!

I'm going to say the men are going to win, but at least 1 of them will succumb to the injuries taken in this fierce battle...but will he become the next Golden Bear!?! Now dealing with the old west, I don't think I've seen an rattlers in any of these. You KNOW there's gotta be snakes somewhere. 🙄

[@take2studio187]

Pro tip! I work as a scenic artist for the film industry and we go through tons of Olfa blades, as well as exacto ect… anyways, we keep a quart cup on our workbench, with a small slit cut in it. Whenever we snap off a dull blade, we throw it into the quart cup. At the end of the show, we can dispose of the blades properly, and no one ends up losing a finger when they are smashing down the garbage in the garbage can. As far as snapping off the blades, we extend it to the line, put our thumb on it and apply pressure at a 45 degree angle. When it breaks it does not fly off and hit a coworker and for whatever reason, it does not cut your finger. You may already know of this “pro tip” but I thought I would mention it anyways. Great videos! Keep up the great work!
