Creating a Scary Sea Creature Encounter with Epoxy Resin

I'd love to see you create a aquarium scene with something lurking in the depth. Like a scene at seaworld with a twist.

I like that the revolver he has his focus on is pointed directly between it's eyes, yet the one he is not focused on is drooping and pointed more towards the chest. Such a subtle yet amazing detail.

No joke this man does the best water dioramas.
Pure awsomness

I always love the little text notes you include in these builds, but "Now, my Spanish is a bit rusty, but I believe they eat GOAT, which is probably why they wanna eat me." is going to live rent free in my head for a good while.

"Unfortunately for the creatures, there were only 11 of them, and Leo's revolvers were fully loaded . . ." What a great line.

Having the mermaids attached to each other just barely to make a web is super cool!!!! It really helps suspend them in water without fishing line or other method. Such a cool mini project

[VanemanaAMVs]

I am one of three people who've been so excited for chupacabra mermaids since you mentioned them. I've definitely left a comment or two and gave up hope. Seeing this on my feed made my day.

Your storytelling with that soothing voice of yours adds so much to this already breathtaking work of art.😮

[carebear]

The ridges actually give kind of a Mayan flavor, like the reliefs on a temple. They are low enough they don't really detract from the figures.

[garybuettner]

Awesome build. Man, that Hero Forge kit bashing thing is very cool. Always excited for new Wild Imaginary West creature encounter builds.

If Leo ever made a book of all the things he saw in his life I would buy it in a heart beat

[bartholomewfish]

We need a full timeline of Leo's adventures, and eventually a movie / animation

[RealSteveLarry]

Mermaids actually are vampiric in nature, a realistic scene depiction. Well Done.

The Wild Imaginary West has become one of my favorite pieces of fiction.
Thanks for sharing it with us!

I love the way you arranged the chups into one creepy mass

It would have make the water look more shallow, but would adding terrain to the bottom of the jar have helped with hiding the ridges? Hindsight being 20/20 and all of that... These WIW dioramas are always so much fun to watch, and hear the little stories behind the scenes.

I like waking up an hour before church, so its nice to have a Boylei video to look forward to aswell!

[Lee-Dixon]

I never tire of the imaginary wild west scenarios. Love how self contained this one is. Awesome work as always! God bless!

[melindajohnson]

This is now my favorite pour. Absolutely nothing lost below the surface. Aaaand once again, time vanished rapidly in the WIW. Nine minutes felt like four.

My gid, there has never been something I've wanted to make a DnD world out of so much before, the wild imaginary west universe you're creating is truly so so amazing, and creation-inspiring!! (edited for spelling mistake)
