This month, my patrons voted on ships as the theme for my Patreon art challenge. They could use any medium and make ships of all kinds. I participated in the art challenge as well and because of the many requests I've received, I decided on an airship.
Go check out @CutTransformGlue for some awesome scratch building techniques!

I forgot to add footage and mention the propulsion of the ship.
@7:55 you can see the thruster sitting like an outboard motor on the back.
Airship!!!! Lmao
Now that You pointed me towards it... There it is.
You know, one thing that could work very well just to improve the display look would be to get some cotton batting or cotton balls and tease it out to cover the top of the base with what would look like clouds, perhaps even having them rising up around the tubes used for holding it up...
As a side note, airships seem like they'd fit in rather well. Just that they would cost a lot to use and you probably need a specialized dock to get on/off.
And it could add other options for beasties that are taking flight over the imaginary west...
If you're thinking about making another airship at some point, I'd like to suggest giving it propellers instead. You could make them look a bit like the wings of a windmill, but smaller.
On the one hand, most if not all airships IRL use propellers, but more importantly it would set the models apart visually.
Flipppin' awesome steam-powered airship sir!! I think that it would fit into the WIW series quite well. Though this looks to be a top of the line model that only the very rich and powerful could afford to owm and operate. Such as a group like the Pinkertons.
It's a good thing you mentioned the propulsion for this ship, I was wondering if the paddle wheels you added were supposed to be impellers for turbine engines...or if you'd somehow forgotten to power this twin zepplin. 😱
Gorgeous work! Since this ship has guns, it does make you wonder if there are any flying monsters in this imaginary west world? Maybe giant bats or something pterodactyl like.
Big vulture monsters
My thoughts exactly, maybe untethered flight is dangerous in its own right?
thunderbirds man it’s said they have two heads of eagles who breaths lightning
What about a giant albino bat? That would look super noize.
imagine a diorama with a flock of giant birds fighting a mech lol
Hindenburg Diorama!
On a second thought, I would love to see a HUGE airdock! For the western town!
good idea
Yes
YASSSS
YEEssS
I really love the Wild West series
"they are not cannon, and we will call them legends" ... Such a Star Wars fan after my own heart. ;)
I love this entire Wild West Scifi theme you've got going on and I've got the perfect thing for this Airship's Crew to be hunting, the Quetzalcoatlus it's a massive late cretaceous pterosaur that inhabited parts of North America so it fits geographically well.
Or the Thunderbird...
This is a very cool airship Caleb and a nice addition to your city. Look forward to seeing more wild west aircrafts 🙂👍
This is probably one of my favorite videos. I would love to see one of these that is a crashed wreck and being used as a shelter.
YOOOOO Thanks for shouting out Cut Transform Glue! He's one of my faves and deserves more recognition. Awesome build!!!
The rigging made such a difference to the whole esthetics of the build. Looked surprisingly pretty awesome when completed and actually fits in to the theme of the town well. You just need to build the dock now where the boat arrives ro disembark it's passengers and pick up ore from the mines to transport out.
Sweet shoutout to Cut Transform Glue! That guy deserves SOOOO many more subs, he's amazingly skilled.
Once again you’ve outdone yourself. All it really needs is a Rose and Jack at the bow.
Super cool Caleb! Sugestion: you could put some clouds to hide the pipes =)
Ugh, all i can imagine now are epic freeze frames of ships and flying creatures in battle. Would be rather cool
You'll be glad you added those canopies when the Pterodactyls attack... or worse, the Terrordactyls!
Would be pretty neat to see a ship of this size but with legs and maybe some claws for logging really big trees, making it look like a crab. Maybe even make a combat variant with a turret tail thing to make it look like a scorpion.
I would love the wild imaginary west as a ttrpg setting! It looks really cool with all of your diorama's and a game set there would be awesome!
You sunnvabich Im in.
That would be rad!
I would absolutely pay to see something like that, especially if I can be able drive the airship.
It could easily be adapted using the Monster of the Week game.
YES. STL files for all of these would be incredible
I think you should do a mortal engines style tank based western mining outpost
Absolutely
Wicked idea!! If anyone could do that and do it justice it would be Caleb (aka Boylei).
@@earlware4322 he has the same first name as me.
I feel like it makes sense that the Airship is indeed a bit in the future, since as you said it has the machine guns that are a bit too new to go along with the current Wild Imaginary West.
Alternatively… To double down on them being ‘myths and legends’ maybe there are folk that live high in the mountains of the Rocky’s and what not that use these airships, being very isolationist people who don’t like dealing with Outsiders. Ground dwellers can see these airships in the far distance, but can never quite detail what they are. Besides, they’re in a world of monsters.. Who’s to say they’re not just seeing one of those?
That said, the "wild west" really didn't end until the 1920s...the Maxim Gun was already around for a while during this period.
@@nilsniemeier5345 Yeah, but that’s a M1919 Browning
Machine guns have already been estalished there, if you check the earlier videos. There's technology present beyond mere machine guns, anyway. That being said, a machine gun isn't necessarily the best weapon for the locals. Its maintenance and operational costs are much higher than a bolt-action rifle or revolver's. Thus it makes sense machine guns would be few and far between, limited to the big players who can afford them.
What if they are for the ground monsters but on the airship so that they can stay clear of the danger?
That is fantastic, a world borne of your own imagination, just great. Love to see this in a film
I enjoyed this build! Now we need an airship stagecoach stop.
I am extremely impressed by your way of painting - first assembly and then only you begin to paint. That must be extremely difficult.
You could be building little movie sets with your talent, but regardless you enjoy it and it shows in your work :)
This might be favourite wild western build yet
Fantastic airship. Great job weathering all of it up.
Your description of how technology progresses on your world is awesome - such depth into your builds, not just scratch building but scratch story telling! Thanks for another great video
That’s so cool! Maybe you can also make an aircraft that’s powered by a giant bat or owl, or any other kind of air creature. I think that would fit well in your imaginary west
Bro you should totally take the same kit and make the airship half’s into Viking boats or Spaniard row boats so sick
I can totally see this beauty in a Studio Ghibli anime about western cowbow. Nice work!
Very nicely done. I can see additional weapon stations added on as needed as threats develop
Amazing! I can see this in your Imaginary Wild West…..perhaps invaders/traders/visitors from a far off land?
I love the logic behind their lack of canon-ness! I would never have thought of that but it makes total sense!! That's one thing that I really love about your work. You aren't just making cool art you're telling a story, and a damn good one at that! Keep up the good work
Where did he explain it?
Awesome and now you can add a dock/building for the town 👍🏻
You could make some small tweaks so that the balloons are a means of propulsion rather than lift, and it would fit into your universe amazingly well.
Love your imaginary world, the ideas and builds are inspiring. I thing the airship fits well, am alternative to travelling across country, quicker to get from a to b, more secure, perhaps the remit of well to do citizens. But, you developed this world, so your word is paramount.👍😉
Omg I have an old LEGO blimp that would work wonders! Thank for the inspiration
About 8 years ago, I read a book called Flight of the Southern Cross by Karl David Klein. It's historical fiction about the Confederacy developing a powered airship during the Civil War. I couldn't get that book out of my mind while watching this video.
Oh wow!!! That is way cool! A great idea that was excellently executed!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
this looks like one of those steampunk battle airship
Way cool. Just a little on the Jules Vern side. Looks like something I designed back in 2000 for my project.
Fantastic Air ship. It looks like if they were life size, They would fly...😍
I would love to see a cryptid series 💜💜💜
It would be cool to see an air battle of mothmen vs Pinkerton air ships. Maybe the amount of airborne monsters in the imaginary west dissuades people from developing air travel?
OH!!! NOW I GET IT!!!! This is what they call... "MAD SKILLZ"!!! Okay. Thank you.
I think it’d be interesting if smaller airships maybe had to regularly fight off flying creatures, ie: giant eagles or oversized hawks.
Boylei's video editing makes me so happy! 😊
Possible canon theory to bring this ship in with the rest! It’s that “airships” are so rare that it’s thought by the common citizens to be a legend, but there are fewer than a dozen that roam the skies; the most elite people in the world. Maybe a Rockefeller type figurehead, or a Ford. Someone with so much power they could have other-worldly creations within the same time period as your western stories. Totally up for grabs if you like it!!
Airships could be a risky investment in the imaginary wild west, which would explain the low amount of them and keep most settlers bounded to the ground. Flying monsters could easily damage airships and since airships have to be pretty light, a few good hits would sink it. As far as you have explained, the Pinkertins don't seem like the really risky type, but maybe another group is more fit for the air loving adventure of a vessel like this one. Sorry to intrude on your world building, but this universe is absolutely amazing.
A few air lights on the balloons would've been a lovely addition, and the hollow balloons would've been perfect to store a battery. Although that might have caused some weight issues.
I will say, the airships could be something they only use in the east where the big cities are.
All in all a beautiful build as always!!
yeah like they need infrastructure to be used, or hell big enough water areas so they can land and not damage the ship.
Zepplin and airships in a large city puts me in mind of the game "Chrimson Skies". That would make for an awesome diorama, airships and planes slowly flying amongst the skyscrapers...🤔😮
I see airships as great (albeit it expensive) alternatives to sea and land travel. There's tons of monsters like buffalo men and ambush scorpions on the land, while seas and rivers have giant gators and eldritch horrors. The sky may be one of the safest places to travel. I can see airships being used to move freight from coast to coast, especially the lower weigh-higher value stuff that trains may be robbed for.
@@Robb1977 nah the sky is the worst place
@@sglenny001 thered have to be dragons and other crazy shit up there for it to be the worst, but then why wouldnt those things attack on the ground either?
I think its nice to have the sky be a sort of safe refuge... especially given the Pinkertons use balloons as observation posts. itd be cool if the sky had some cool passive megafauna... or even animals that aided humans: giant eagles that prey on the large catfish and the likes.
Dude! This is Kick-Ace! I've done a couple myself as well as a floating island volcano and a couple of floating islets! Let me know if you'd like to see them and give me a place to post them! I really like your combination of Zeppelins and river a boat! Awesome idea!
Dang.. man thats great! I like the idea of a longer spanning timeline in your universe.
Looks totally feasible as a flying machine I like it well done great work
So glad to have stumbled upon this channel. Your work is amazing!
We've all been asking you for this for some time, now. All I can say is that this was well-worth the wait! It will make a fine addition to your Wild, Imaginary West! Thanks for posting this, and have a Happy Fourth of July!
DAYUM - most satisfactory! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Antennas and guitar strings are never enough 😍
every ship deserves a name
Awesome kitbash and the two airship models being used made it that much more unique.
Got a pod-racer feel with those two balloons.
cool imagination
Flying craft would be vulnerable to sky monsters.
I think the airship could be canon and current. It's just very cutting edge, expensive and limited. Like, you'd take an airship to go to the biggest town on the edge of proper civilization, as it requires a mooring tower, advanced fuel facilities - then it's Mules to get around the West. They're a symbol of power from elsewhere, common only in metropolises far, far away. Maybe there's flying beasts too when you get into the frontier, so people don't want to risk their ultra expensive rare flying machines to go somewhere shitty, risking an attack from a pterodactyl-sized bird. Kind of how you see a model T in the beggining of red dead 1, multiple states of technology coexist. People in the west could also be heavily superstitious against airships, and maybe they're as unstable and dangerous as they were in real life.
J’adore le concept
On se croirait dans un roman de Jules Verne ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm enjoying how ypur edits are getting more and more creative as you go on
An absolutely amazing build. Love how you can just take the parts and build what's in your mind, just amazing work. Thanks for sharing your work.
Awasome craft as always! Nice job!
Super badass. Love watching your processes
I could see this airship being a flagship for the Pinkertons. At their main headquarters on the coast/opposite side of the country.
woww!!!!! next a sawmill please
The fauna repellents would be vital on this ship, since they can’t tilt the Brownings far enough to hit high angle attacks, and the risk of hitting a balloon is high. But say bandits have airships which are smaller but faster, (Even w/ mid section gone, it’s still 200+ ft.) and the MG’s really can come in handy preventing boarding actions from hostiles while in air or doing a routine resupply run on the ground, since water can’t be grown like food. Tl;dr: Monster prevent important, mg limited, mg stop bad guy attack instead.
Idea two
What if the ship could use water travel, but if a large threat appeared, the balloons would flood with gas, rapidly extracting from the water?
Never before have I had the urge to build a model ship. Apparently today changed that.
Great, wonderfull realisation!!!
I am very happy you made something like this
There's something very elegant about the top "drums" where you used the wheel spokes. Almost like its the Cpt's private quarters and he wanted to be extra about it to have the best view. I like the idea that the ship is a legend as you said, because its something that a moonshiner *couldve* seen by accident one lonely night in the mountains but gets shut down as a drunk, while the Pinkertons carefuly move him to un-life for seeing their prototype.
Excellent work! Very creative and original
Totally Awesome. Maybe this comes later in the history of the W.I.W. I hope so.
THIS IS SO GOOD! Another awesome build my guy! Gives me a lot of Far: Lone Sails vibes.
I could totally see Mal from Firefly being the Captain of this airship.
nothing beats a good old kitbash
I think he needs to make his own model company with all of his designs he has made
Ooooooh that make cut roll was……delicious!
That looks so good! I really enjoyed watching everyone put together their own 'ships' this month on your Discord, too!
This is amazing. Let’s just appreciate how much time and effort has to go into these dioramas.
The best one yet
You have a way of opening up my imagination and getting me in a creative mood
omg yes!!! this is amazing! first thing I see when I woke up! love it!
i would love to see a tiny airship in a bottle, this is a beautiful piece of art!
Super cool looking, as always! Love the storytelling, and thoughts put in to the wild imaginary west.
If you ever decide to go back and add in people, a great addition would be a "sailor" sat on a plank suspended by two ropes repairing a balloon or cleaning the hull of the ship. Was my first thought on seeing the completed product, looks amazing as always.
Gotta clap for the LMNOP class joke. That was class.
I’m still just blown away that you seem to be making a video of fantastic quality and creativity so often! Hope you’re not working too hard, but I’m really enjoying literally everything you post 🥰
Beautiful work!
Saw this and was immediately excited.
Airships are such awesome things to get creative with! I personally love to draw them and for example the miyasaki ones are pretty inspirational as well.
What a unique and creative build. Very cool!
Omg the editting is chefs kiss
Perhaps ships such as this are so expensive that only trading companies can use them? That way, you avoid them changing the setting too much
Difficult to get the scale of this in my mind for the WIW town, think it would need to be suspended off at a distance rather than being set close in
@@stevieandthebarbies he's got the riverboat with the large monster too so it's not all fully one scale
@@CityPlannerPlaysChair yeah, I know that - I’m just trying to get my head around the size of this ‘ship’ relative to the town buildings and other WIW dioramas, not the scale (1/72, 1/100 etc)
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with us!
I really enjoy watching this word unfold.
Ahhh, I love Sunday nights.
Now that you have flying ships in the Wild Imaginary West, you gotta make some flying creatures that might cause trouble for some of these vessels
Wow! Excellent work!
