    This week, I made my second cross section diorama of a hot spring in Yellowstone. The hot pool I recreated this time is Emerald Spring in the Norris Basin. The diorama is set in my Wild Imaginary West and houses a mysterious creature that travels from pool to pool searching for bones and waiting to drag unsuspecting prey into the hot water.

      ​@gfries4906 they also don't *leave* the water, nor do they live in acidic and near boiling temperatures. Yes, whales and dolphins breathe air at the surface, but they're ocean borne and restricted creatures. This thing is actively choosing harsh environments to live in when it *could* choose to live elsewhere.

    When you said no animal can survive in the hot springs, I immediately thought of flamingos. Can’t find anything on them interacting with Yellowstone specifically, but they can drink boiling water and chill in water so acidic and salty it would melt your skin. Terrifying!

    Well done, Boylei! Even if you omitted the monster, this hot springs diorama would be a winner! That said, the monster is the only sign that this diorama is part of your Wild Imaginary West, and not a depiction of an actual, historical scene. (Maybe if your miners had a Forestall on one of their mules . . . ?)
    Regardless, this deep-pour resin scene is incredible, and I'm looking forward to more of your Sunday Morning videos! Thanks for sharing your imagination and techniques with us!

    I’m not sure if you’ve been to/heard of the Superstition Mountains in AZ. Legend has it that there’s buried “lost Dutchman’s” gold somewhere in the mountains. There’s also a natural phenomenon where the sun casts a shadow on the rocks that looks like a giant cougar. A diorama with treasure hunters coming face to face with what is in fact an actual giant cougar seems like a perfect addition to the W.I.W!!

    Hello friend, this is the first time I have written to congratulate you on your Diorama Projects. I rarely write to the creators of the channel because many times there are few who read the comments and respond, but I always leave you a Like. Thanks to you, I was inspired to start making dioramas because I saw one you did about three years ago, from STARWARS titled: ''Tank Ambush Aftermath Diorama''. And after seeing that work I started to create my own. Well, what I wanted to ask you is a favor, I have reviewed all your videos and I see that you have not made one of Halo when you can and if you want, make one of Master Chief vs The Covenant, I know that you will be excellent. You can be inspired by any combat of the new HALO series. Well thank you very much for everything and keep on giving us the best as always.

    I think it might have been me that suggested adding the pigment to half of the resin in a large batch to keep the colors consistent. I know I've suggested to people in the past. If it wasn't me, I'll still take credit. ;)
    That, by the way, is an amazing resin pour! Very hard to do something that large with no bubbles, boiling (yes, folks, this stuff boils when poured too thick), or noticeable pour lines.

    i think that if you pour a new layer of resin on top of an old one, while the old one is not completely solid, but has a very viscous, almost hard consistency, you can avoid layer lines. the old layer should be solid enough that you leave a visible hollow when you press it in, but the rest remains stable, similar to clay.

    Cool. Reminds me of the creature from the black lagoon. 👍

    I would love you to make more Wild Imaginary West Diorama's by using actual monsters from various Native American mythologies. For instance a cattle drive getting attacked by a Horned Serpent when fording a river

    Wonderful as always. Cowboy themed horror is such a cool genre
    It would be cool to see an Oregon trail themed diorama, maybe with a zombie twist due to the infamous tale of the cannibalism that took place in snowy mountains.

    another hot spring cutaway yessss! yes! your first hotspring video was the first one i ever saw of yours. i was really pulled in by the soft voiceover and the respect you have for nature. i havent been to yellowstone in a few years but i think you capture its colors and its gestures so well.

    Here's the thing: as a multi-console gamer, yes, there are diminishing returns to simply making consoles more powerful, and selling your games on their graphical capabilities and technical features.
    However, more powerful consoles are enabling new experiences that simply aren't possible on previous generations or earlier hardware. Yes, development costs go up with more graphically complex games. It's still also possible to develop fun games of lower graphical complexity for regardless of hardware specs, as demonstrated by indie studios.
    In all likelihood, the major selling point of the Switch successor over the original will be graphical performance, and this is fine.
    You need both: focus on fun, and the wow factor of new experiences.
