This week, I made a scary swamp diorama and added Skunk Apes to the monster list of the Wild Imaginary West.
I made the base model for my Skunk Ape on Hero Forge. www.heroforge.com

This series is getting massive!!!!! But I feel like something’s missing… we see a ton of giant solitary predators, but what about smaller pack hunters? And also I feel like it would be cool to see some herbivores! Maybe some cowboys are wrangling some unicorn type, or escaping an elephant creature!
Sentient, carnivorous tumble weeds.
@@MatthewSwain that actually sounds terrifying
@@MatthewSwain there is a TTRPG called "Deadlands" set in the wild weird west. Its got zombies, weird steampunk mad science contraptions. But it also has a thing called the "Tumble Bleed" a sentient and hungry tumbleweed lol
What's missing is the Serenity
A pack carnivore creature was exactly what I was thinking
First thing: Awesome build as always.
I got an idea for at least one of the left over feets. You know the travelling peddlers of elixirs and “medecins” that appears in a lot of western movies and maybe even where a real thing. How about a wagon-shop (mechanised if you so want) with the owner trying to sell stuff to a bunch of onlookers and a foot can be hanging as some curiosa/remedie on the wagon.
I was looking for this comment, a "snake oil" sales wagon.
It could be a monkey paw type of item
Oh that's a good idea. A shady merchant or in olden terms, Snake oil seller.
This, but the snake oil salesmans's wagon is pulled by a snake
@@resumpsi5468 a bit on the nose don’t you think? But I get what you want to imply: somehow associating the snake pulling the wagon as the main source for creating these “medicinal elixirs”. Hence the name snake oil.
Love all these builds, especially the nature discoveries. I've noticed all the cowboys are always against monsters they don't stand a chance against. It would be cool to see them with some domesticated creatures they use for farming or hauling giant machines. Or to see some in the middle of a scuffle, roping down a monster like the cowboys did to Ben Stiller's character in Night at the Museum.
Can’t believe you’d reduce Gigantor to just “Ben Stillers character”, for shame!
YES
The cowboys have guns. They aren't as helpless as they would be before the time of the firearms. Of course it won't help if you get surprised, like in this one, but otherwise I don't see it as a problem.
"I'm Old Greg!" Bonus points right there. Love the duckweed on the pond, really brought it to life. I could hear the ape sloshing around. Love it!
The movement you created with the moss around the monster’s feet was such a nice touch, wonderful work as always!
for a wild western build, you should make a resin model of some explorers docking on an unexplored island but from the side you can see their standing on a massive creature like a turtle or something like a reefback from subnautica.
this sounds awesome, like a devil whale from Greek mythology
What would make this even cooler would be a cross section of that turtle showing people and maybe other creatures still alive having built homes from wrecked ships inside its belly. But that might be a lil’ overboard even for this fictional world. Not to mention a very delicate and complex build.
That sounds like it would be massive, but I love the idea
like the Sea Dragon Leviathan
that's the dangeroust from all
I love how you give your builds backstories. Since you have a stagecoach, I think your town needs a place for it to stop, a post office or hotel. With all the monster battling, it definitely needs a hospital. And a junkyard could be nifty, with a bunch of little monsters in it, or some tamed beast guarding it.
post office + a mail "coach" (mech) would be cool!
Small sabertooth rat like Scrat in the junkyard would be cool
A hotel would be awesome! With some kind of turret on the roof to prevent any flying monsters from attacking from above 👀👀
Old Gregg had me dying! 🤣 did not expect to see him again. Great job as always.
The Mighty Boosh!
Rarely seen, always appreciated 😆
Hey! been watching your stuff for a while, and I had a small suggestion for an addition to the wild west! ^^ A big ol' mossy bison wading through a swamp, with a tree growing on it paired with a little calf complete with their own teeny sapling
Nice but I think you’re thinking of grotle from pókemon
@@anaustralian3960 agree
Or the big bison things from skull island
@@lemonboy3036 just like that! But more of an American bison, rather than the buffalo look that one has
@@anaustralian3960 very similar, but more of a cow/bison than turtle/tortoise
I've heard of terrifying large predatory birds up high in the mountains near the waterfalls. Nests full of bones of beasts and man-alike. Rumor is there's gold up there ready for picking like berries in fall, but don't go up there without a ladder and pulley mech mule to help with the vertical climb.
Amaising idea! Would love to see it made.
THE THUNDER BIRD
@@ComradeCarbon yep, I immediately thought of Thunderbird, as well!
Love these little dio's, you really know how to capture that atmosphere and pull me right into the build. Great edit and massive grats on 500k subs!!!👏🙌
i'd love to see creatures of a different scale! i love the absolutely massive croc and catfish, it would be awesome to see something equally huge on land. or some kind of monster that's actually closer to human size!
i'd also love to see some interactions with regular animals. like a bison creature versus a pack of wolves, or a monster preying on cows at a farm. actually i'd love to see what a farm is like in this world! do they use mechs to plow the land or something?
I love how useful your comment is! and how useful every other comment here is.
I find joy in scrolling through comments and reading them and it makes me dopamine when they all contain ideas rather than just "first", "Hello", "Love content", "shoutout me!", "loloololollololol, *TIMESTAMP*", etc.
Would love to see your take on a Thunderbird maybe swooping down to steal a calf from a herd...or a human. People would be fighting it off with some Wild Imaginary West weapons/tools.
Love the series!
Would love to see a thunderbird against the weaponized hot air balloon.
I’d like to see a circus of all the captured creatures bounty hunters have collected, I think that there could be a black market of sorts for richer people to see these creatures that only lower class people have to actually deal with, kind of like what happened in real life. Besides that, I’m so glad I found this channel, the world building and commentary along with the dioramas full of little details have quickly become my favorite content to watch and I’m always looking forward to more of your videos :)
YES! Skunk Ape! Being from the South this guy looks very familiar to me. : )
I LOVE the way that you painted the pond scum/water lilies on the surface. Amazing. Your work is super inspiring, C!
Thanks, T-Nu!
I love this series, i would love to see a giant ant coloney coming out of a mountain side, with like 3 ants or so
An “extinct” dinosaur would be a very interesting addition to the series!
Pterodactyls flying at one of those mechs with cannons on it would be pretty cool.
Since it's a swamp theme i think someone in a boat encountering a Spinosaurus or Baryonyx would work pretty well
@@jonathanche6553 Doesn't have to be a swamp he has done stuff set in deserts as well, but I do like your suggestions though I think a Spinosaurus would be cool as well.
I think the best choice would be a quetzalcoatlus type thing living in a desert area (like a california condor)
Ooohhhh great idea!
Look at you, big shot! Half a million subscribers. I’m glad to see how far this channel has come.
Bruh Spamton???? In all seriousness I love his channel so much and I'm glad to see he got the recognition he deserves
I’m absolutely loving this series! I’d like to see another crystal cave type diorama, this time with a sort of lava/rock monster. Keep up the great work!
I’m so glad I’ve stumbled upon this series, some amazing builds.
As an idea, I thought about the circular deadwood corrals that were used in the west to saddle break horses. I can picture a scene where an intrepid group of cowboys attempting to do the same for a monster to use as a mount.
Damn that skunk ape is quite terrifying. And holy crap you've made a ton of these now. Grats on 500k as well!
BEFORE ONE HOUR GANG!!!!!!!!
Suiii!!!
Lets go baby
YEEEEEE
AHHHH
LESS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
It kind reminds me of a Norwegian folklore. There is a story that we tell children about a creature called Nøken. And it lives in swamps and marsh lands and basically comes out to drag people down to the deepest part. If I remember correctly you can se it in the movie called Askeladen which is a movie about Norwegian folklore. But still awesome work your the best have a great day (sorry for bad English not native speaker )
I think a fishing diorama with a massive fish jumping out of the water would be really cool, a huge fish casting a massive shadow over a shocked fisherman would look amazing. A big freshwater preparatory fish would be cool
This wild imaginary west series has been so inspiring and fun. I would like to see you expand more on why the Pinkertons have space suits from one of the earlier builds. That would be neat.
Yeah, that first mine build with the Pinkertons guards had put a thought at the back of my head...steam powered spaceships! 😲
Love this one dude! A good reminder that it doesn’t have to be a huge, extravagant build to call it good.
I enjoyed the “lore” description and the edits and little jokes. I’m excited to see where things go
The end view of all your models is astounding! It’s so fun to see you create more and more eye catching scenes, and we’re all along for the ride.
I think the thunder bird would make a fine addition to your collection. You could make a scenario where some hunters are raiding it’s nest while it is about ready to attack them. Nice build by the way!
So if this whole wild west theme is around the Civil War time, you should do a civil war era battle ship and give it that steam punk vibe you do
Great video! I think another snowy biome would be awesome! Maybe with some big wolves or something
Okay the duckweed idea with dots of green paint trailing his legs is BRILLIANT. Totally finding an excuse to do that in the future!!
My favorite touch is the duck weed around the edges of the pond and how it trails behind the big fellas steps
I love the Wild Imaginary West series and look forward to your video each week! Looking forward to seeing how you continue to expand on it!
Four ideas I had: A Dust Devil/Wind themed monster attacking a cattle ranch could be really cool. A Similar diorama to the spider mine you did but a tall cave with explorers who uncover giant bat monsters hanging from the ceiling and waking up. Going back to your large train canyon build, could you remake the train to be carrying different monsters in their carts? Lastly, your town could use an all purpose doctor's office and maybe the doctor extracts medicine from some the beasts in the wild (you could use your skunk apes feet!).
Keep up the great work and really looking forward to seeing a lot of these work together!
another amazing diorama, I am really loving this wild imaginary west. I feel like a giant vulture or something of the like would fit well in this world.
I am still loving this series, thank you very much for continuing this series. You're the best Boylei!
I feel like it would be really cool to see like a pack of giant vultures attacking unsuspecting monster hunters. We haven't really seen any flying monsters as of yet and I think that would be really cool to see. Also keep up the amazing work, this is my favorite type of video to see on the channel and every time I see a new Wild Imaginary West video, I get extra excited
since you asked for ideas for monsters and similar:
What about giant worms?
I'm thinking a diorama with a horse-wagon moving through the desert (or another biome) and then underneath the ground, there's a cave network with worms moving through it. and perhaps a worm (or multiple) poking out above ground.
Just a general idea off course.
Another Idea could be giant Termites. though they would probably need a ginormous mound, seeing as termite hills are already taller than a person.
A slight modification on this. A "Dune" like sandworm swallowing a wagon and six horses.
Graboids!!
@@ambercummings9439" Trenors 4"? with a town sign of "Perfection", in the background
@@davidsharp9166 my thoughts exactly! Can't forget the water tower
Not the way I was thinking, but could also be really cool.
I was thinking more worms that had a diameter roughly similar to a human, or maybe slightly more, so something that could bite your head off, but not eat a wagon.
Love this series of builds, would make for an entertaining movie in my opinion.
My suggestion: Make a build with an Indian hunting party confronting a herd of monstrous Whitetail Deer, but with a twist. The deer are meat eaters with teeth more akin to a Wolf. Normally deer are so graceful and gentle, so something to fit your monster in a futuristic western world
A massive quadriped mech that carries other mechs, large loads of storage, or even a small town would be awesome to see.
I think it would be pretty neat if you made a large group of the mule walkers and some of the other variants hunting a pack of monsters or bison through a valley, and of course you could change it up to whatever you would like.
Could u make a diorama with a lumberwoods monster , lumberwoods monster are strange and often ridiculous creatures thought up by lumberjacks to scare fellow lumberjacks
I love your western builds! I grew up in gold country and always had a love for the history and environments in Northern California^^
I would love to see your Wild West world explore a scene involving Sequoias!
I could never make anything like this, and yet still i love watching these more than anything, it’s so relaxing and entertaining to see how creative people are!
Something you could add is almost something like tremors. A big worm underground coming up to eat a group of cowboys traveling. Pretty sure you haven’t done that yet so I think it would be so cool to see. Take care Boylei, and until next time
Recently came across this channel, what a great mix of inspiration and satisfaction. The quality of the production and beauty of the pieces, I call it great.
Haven't even watched the video yet but just saw your channel is at 500k subscribers! Fantastic to see and beyond well deserved Caleb. Onwards to 1M!
Edit:. Ok, just watched the build. Loved the water lilly's trailing behind his legs, great detail. But the biggest treat was seeing all of your imaginary wild west landscape pieces together at the same time! Absolutely incredible. And plans outside of UA-cam?!?! Excited!
Thanks, Mark! I appreciate you!
I'm such a fan of this series! I always get so excited when you post a new build. A possible suggestion may be a farmhouse/land with an unsuspecting farmer being stalked by a living scare crow? A homesteaders view of the west maybe. Great work as always!
You can't get more Old Gregg in this universe than this. Amazing.
Honestly i would love a wizard of oz model 😊 all your creations are beautiful thank you for crafting and posting! I love watching and learning all your helpful tips
Ah! My day is complete!! Awesome x
I like the algae detail, it really unites the pond with the plants around it!
Love the detail of pulling the water moss along the Swamp Thing's™ legs to simulate water motion!
I think those feet you chopped off could be good in like a eastern medicine store or market in the town. Like bigfoot feet, spider fangs, were-buffalo horns
This is such an insane series and I practically LIVE for it at this point. You and your builds are the main reason I'm tempted to go into the deep end of the modeling hobby.
If I could suggest anything, could we see the aftermath of the monster catching crew? Like an auction of a large monster gone wrong, where they break the cage and start to rampage on the town, potentially destroying a building in the process?
I’m loving this series! I’d love to see you combine these builds into some massive diorama!
Esp. like the way the duck weed trails the monster as it wades into the swamp. So realistic
I was waiting for this, what a great addition! What do you think about a giant shell-less snail? That might look cool as a monster too
U mean a slug
So..a slug?
A slug??. Maybe like the lack of a shell reveals something underneath? Crystals? Battle scars? A human controller?
A Slug?
A slug with acidic slime as its defense mechanism because its flesh is a delicacy and snake oil sellers hunt them for both their inner and outer fluids. Their inner fluids having actual healing properties like aloe vera.
I love this series. It is one of my all time favorites. I can put this on a looped playlist (with the rest of your western themed sets) in the background of almost anything I am doing and just enjoy your soothing voice and the western themes of a weird imaginary west.
You have done a couple crystal mining scenes now (the very first one you did if I recall right, and the second most recent one with the geode, that was really neat!). It would be interesting to see a scene that involves a sort of "delved too deep" type of concept. Miners, maybe with the power of some kind of mech or drilling device that fits your theme, dig down farther than they should have and encounter something big and dangerous deep below the earth!
Hope to see a LOT more from this series and love your channel overall :)
I absolutely love this build and how ominous it is! I also have an idea for a model that i haven't really seen anyone make, a group of survivors in a zombie apocalypse getting swarmed by tons of zombies while they might be trapped on a roof, or some other perilous location. I know that tons of zombies might be ridiculous to individually paint, but hey a cool idea i think.
Werewolf in the swamp would be super kool!
Love the creations and check youtube every chance I get to see if you've uploaded!
A few things I think could fit into your Wild Imaginary West:
- Gun store for monster hunters
- Some sort of hunting guild which gives out bounties on creatures
- a camp of bandits unknowingly being hunted by a creature
- redwood forest setting
Damn this is probably one of my favorite builds you've done. Just something so creepy and awesome about it
The Old West was hugely defined by its postal services, they defined towns and were local heroes. It'd be so cool to see a post office and a version of the 'pony express' in this universe
These dioramas really bring the wild imaginary west to life in my mind and it's awesome to watch them come together. One thing I would like to see is how this technology affects the military of this world. Like do they capture and tame the less wild creatures to use as beasts of burden or war? Or do they have some Wolfenstein/Tesla style fantastical weaponry and gear? I'm looking forward to the next story you create
Love the build and the Imaginary West collection! In the future, it may be cool to introduce some flying monsters. Like a man eating bat or bird of prey. Everything you've designed so far is amazing!
I’d love to see you combine all your Wild West alternative universe builds into one giant continuous diorama.
And as for ideas….seems to be a lot of dudes in this Wild West World. How bout some women? A Calamity Jane or Annie Oakley type. Or how bout something along the lines of Scarlet O’Hara- have one of your monsters crash a Wild West ball and capture one of the women King Kong Style?
Like having a regular bigfoot do the abductiong?
I’m so happy that I’m not the only one that adds backstories to the things they make
A giant alligator or bird would look pretty good in these settings
Awesome build! I really like your Dioramas, especially those with a rather small base-area. They always look very cinematic and have a nice composition. Beautiful detail but not too much stuff going on at the same time. Love your wild imaginary west series and the lore! Also I am so glad you said you are having fun :)
Congrats on 500k man. Well deserved. So excited for you
Awesome to hear you have plans outside of UA-cam for the wild imaginary west! I’d personally love to see like a guidebook of sorts explaining all the lore you’ve come up with. I always like when you share little tidbits of information about the monsters and things that inhabit it!
This might be alittle personal but im going through alot in my life right now, my girlfriend who i dated for a long long time broke up with me and ive been going through a rough time. these videos have been my comfort, the little western world that i can disappear into has truly truly helped me. Thank you so much.
I’m a real big fan of this channel keep it up!
Gotta say, amazing videos, love the skill and absolutely love the subject matter/universe you're building! Would like to see some "monsters" working with the people though. They're all somewhat menacing so far, what about maybe something that's more benevolent in nature? Maybe like a mammoth type creature? Otherwise, would be neat to see you go with further mythical creatures like your golden bear, like a white buffalo or thunder bird maybe? Something else with some roots in actual myth/folklore?
This is stunning!!! It’s amazing to watch this little world grow and be more and more fleshed out!!
I think a giant sand viper poking up from the sand would make an awesome diorama
As an explanation for why this town has so many freaky monsters, you should do a crashed UFO in a mountainous forest area. Also add a larger pond with a Nessie like creature in it at the base of the mountain.
Are you going to connect all of these to make a giant diorama at some point? That would be really cool. I haven't finished watching all of the videos on this series yet, I only recently subbed to your channel. I think it's looking really cool so far.
Firstn’t
The 'Old Greg' part just made the video even more funky. Did not see that one coming
I think some sort of dinosaur creature would be really cool! And this is a great series!
Another smashing diorama. The atmosphere in these vignettes ranges from exciting to down-right creepy. The Skunk Ape mini and background are great. I really like the way you painted the swamp-weed to imply the Skunk Ape's motion through the water.
You could use the monster feet as a decoration for a monster hunters cabin maybe, a lil wood shack just loaded with monster bits hanging around a fireplace. Could be cool!
The algae painted on the water is my favorite part. There's always a spot of particular detail where everything clicks into place and the build really comes alive, I love it.
This is one of my favourite series on youtube! Ive said this in previous videos but i think a farmer in his farm fighting off some mutant coyote monsters would be awesome
Amazing build, every time I watch one of these imaginary wild west videos I cant help but daydream about this awesome world. I think it would be really cool if you made something lumberjack related but something simple, little lumberjacks with saws and axes inside a redwood forest or something, and some tree monster, tree dwelling monster or something else completly.
it'd be cool to see like people who don't live in the Imaginary West traveling there(maybe to the town) and being woefully under-prepared and under informed like their stage coach broke down in a Sand Sharks territory or something 🦈
your content and builds are so awesome and so creative keep making awesome stuff 😁
Breathtaking! Each and every one of these projects!! Big or small they blow my mind every time
the duckweed behind the skunk ape was such a nice touch
You should make a bunch of these little dioramas that all fit together to make a Giant landscape, like a puzzle!
I love the simplicity of this build, plus the monster!
Such a simple build yet so immersive! Great work!
That portage cover story is clever, it works for me!
I think a winter tundra piece would be a cool addition (big bears?) would be neat to see how the Wild West world fairs during winter seasons
Mate your stuff is absolutely outstanding, my suggestion would be a mounted traveler being attacked by a massive boar on a narrow path in a dense forest
That result is truly astonishing. The Wild West series is awesome. Please don’t stop making them any time soon!
Wizard of Oz would be cool. Maybe a rickety shack being lifted by a tornado along with some other stuff like a line of fenceposts, a well, a cow, etc.
Thunderbirds should be a focus for an Imaginary West diorama. They were a huge part of the mythologies and spiritual traditions of native peoples in the Americas, and were often depicted as powerful beings that could reward or punish entire villages for their actions. Stylizing them as a cross between an eagle and a giant condor might be a worthy avenue
I thought that maybe a few more bug type creatures would be neat and right after that the thought of a farm where bugs are being bred like Amy's parents do (Futurama) for some purpose would be a nice addition, too! :)
The little lillies you added look so good the thought put into the small detail bring sit all together! I think it would be super cool if there were a sort of snowy mountain encounter almost like an Oregon trail thing where they're in a snow storm on a cliff or something!
Brilliant!
I love the trails of algae from the skunk ape's legs.
