Yellowstone Hot Spring Diorama with a Spooky Surprise

#Epoxy #Yellowstone #HotSpring
This week, I recreated one of my favorite sights in Yellowstone, Morning Glory Pool. I added some glowing eyes to the bottom of the pool to suggest the presence of something large and scary and bring Yellowstone into the setting of the Wild Imaginary West.

Beautiful as always! The gradient looks wild--it makes me want to see a Hot Spring Water Elemental.

It’s interesting to think that the color change from blockages could be a way that seasoned monster hunters know when to avoid those specific pools. Like they know that the ones that aren’t blue will likely have a monster hiding at the bottom but the ones with more red/orange at the edge will. So they know to either avoid it all together or prepare for a hunt. Unlike the common folk just passing through who would be none the wiser and happily set up camp.

Love this piece regardless it gorgeous as always.

The spooky eyes pearing from below are just amazing

I really appreciate the acknowledgment of the pool’s hydrogeology at 2:51, smart, shows awareness of what tourism did to the pool, and also shows you know your terrain features well! Awesome video

That color gradient was simply marvelous. Top tier work yet again.

Anything that can live in a hot spring like that is something you don't want to mess with.

Finally a diorama maker who knows how to properly pour resin. I see so many people on YT not seal their foam properly and then be all surprised when they get a ton of air bubbles. Vac chamber, sealed, poured with a thin stream onto a stir stick. Textbook. Good work.

Incredible work! Your end result is always top-shelf, and the trip there is as pleasant as can be!
Also, thank you for introducing me to a new foliage source. (And right as I'm needing it for an animated intro! :D)
Keep up the good work, my friend.

This is gorgeous and was a super chill build to watch. Quite possibly the most satisfying resin pour of all time. I really enjoyed hearing your personal experiences regarding the Rockies and exploring your part of the country. Now that I think about it, probably my favorite thing from all of your past videos are your personal stories that you share while you build. Really cool that you searched for Forrest Fenn's treasure. Good stuff Caleb.

"This much looks good method" is my preferred go-to method for a lot of things and it actually works incredibly good. I enjoyed listening to your comments as much as I enjoyed the video itself. Also I find the level of organization fascinating that not only leads to beautiful - arguably - works of art but also documents everything in a digestible manner. Long story short: I really like what you do

[TapioSalminen]

This is probably my favourite of your imaginary wild west dioramas thus far. The low key monster with just glowing eyes, the colors of the pool, they all work brilliantly.

The fact that you have the finished project _in the thumbnail_ and I still did not see any trace of a monster is kinda cool as hell.
Goes to show how well it blends in.

I love the subtleness of the monster that lurks below. I call it great!!

[ebonylawrence]

This has got to be one of my favourite projects. I often find myself rewatching this one.

I just played Oregon Trail for the first time recently and have found the whole history of the trail fascinating as a European. Would love to see the Rockies some day

[davidhallfrisch]

The rockies are amazing, and breath taking

[milesdugar]

Amazing. You should definitely tap into the “van meter visitor”, it’s an pterosaur like creature that was spotted in Iowa 1903 in the mid west. the monster has a great wings and a horn that glows a blinding light and was said to fly around and would reside in the mines. Reports say it loves to perch on top of roof tops, I think it would fit perfectly into your Wild West aesthetic.

Man you are a genius. It amazes me how you improvise the very details as if its opening a can of corn. People like you have the talent to make a difference in the world. Respect from South Korea!

[carrie]

I love how the monster is just creepy as heck eyeballs in the deep. Yet another amazing build!

[geocatwizard]

The Rockys are incredible, so glad to live here
