#Diorama #LOTR #Moria
This week, I created a Mines of Moria diorama featuring some of the first Games Workshop minis that I ever painted. This group of dwarves is making their final stand on a bridge as swarms of goblins close in around them.
If you'd like more LOTR content, please let me know below!

The darkness with the torchlight, the layered way you did the pillars, the layout of the miniatures. Just truly incredible. I would love to see more of this in the future :)

@TheMajorStranger 8 месяцев назад

The flickering light is what truly make this Diorama. It's so cool.

@earlware4322 8 месяцев назад

Totally agree!! The flickering LEDs do a lot to sell the idea of torchlight.

@iain-duncan 8 месяцев назад

Lighting is one of the surest ways to elevate any diorama imo. Same thing applies video games, just look at minecraft with a ray tracing mod and you'll see what I mean.

@SlartiMarvinbartfast 8 месяцев назад

It's fantastic - the flickering lights really help to highlight the highly evocative sensation of depth and darkness. It's a masterpiece.

Love hearing you talk about your “roots”. I’m sure “Boylei” as a boy would be unbelievably excited to know where this passion would take him as an adult! And I love anything LOTRs that you do! Great build Boylei!

@chriscooper654 8 месяцев назад

Gandalf reading the last words of the dwarf- colony's record is one of the most ominous, tragic scenes in the first book. This diorama is a great tribute to that; you captured the desperate rage of the dwarves, the malevolent triumph of the orcs and the brooding majesty of Moria very well. For further use of this setting, you might try a scene showing whatever it was that Pippin's dropped stone disturbed, or even Gandalf pursuing the Balrog through the burrows of the Nameless Things...

@CinHalCedHerChance День назад

Pippin's stone disturbed a cave troll.

Can you please do another Yellowstone diorama with an erupting geyser? I want to do one, but have no idea how to do it. Love your modeling skills and the Wild Imaginary West!

@charlessapp1835 8 месяцев назад

I love it when you do Lord of the Rings stuff! So inspiring!

@ducatisti 8 месяцев назад

I'm currently struggling to create some layered depth in a diorama. My brain has a very hard time with the whole 3D layers thing and I have started over more times than I care to mention. This video was perfectly timed for me, and now I'm headed back to the workshop with new ideas and techniques. Wish me luck!

@DesertOwlForge 8 месяцев назад

Check out Light Box Life, her work is very well represents the idea of depth and how to create layers. Sometimes you have to think inside the box. 😉

@ducatisti 8 месяцев назад

@@DesertOwlForge Thank you, I'll go check out her feed!

@mistac5050 8 месяцев назад

Man what a cool and immersive build. It reminds me of the book nook that you made with the lions years ago. And I loved hearing your touching tale about your earlier LotR days.

@debbralehrman5957 8 месяцев назад

This is awesome. Love the work you do. I'm a LOTR fan so I did enjoy nostalgia as well the diorama.

@ThrashinToOblivion 8 месяцев назад

Excellent diorama! I would love to see more LOTR builds in future, I’ve always been a fan of all of your LOTR dioramas, they’re fantastic! Have a great week Boylei!

@lordbarron3352 8 месяцев назад

I have an idea you might really like; layer the pillars in a mirror "sandwich" (like those infinite corridor illusions) to get the endless effect of moria.

@fancymichael6113 8 месяцев назад

This is fuc*ing awesome! And the deepts and blackness, only the torches light in the dark. Fantastic idea and outstanding job!

@echodelta2426 8 месяцев назад

@smoessmee 4 месяца назад

This is the kind of thing that's making me start building stuff for a Moria campaign. I might have to do some dioramas to get teh epic feeling as the battlefields will have to be a lot more open so they'll actually work for my ruleset.

@MrFacepunch33 8 месяцев назад

Yes! I for one will take all the LotR videos you can possibly give us.

My favorite movie, then when I saw my favorite diorama youtuber make this video I got so excited. Just watched the second movie last night, I’m rewatching the series for the gazillionth time lol

@---fy4ln 3 месяца назад

I can't stop thinking how awesome it would be if you could somehow suddenly light up the shadows in the background revealing the balrog at intervals

@douglascarroll3754 8 месяцев назад

I remember painting this exact Warhammer set (the goblins) when I was young. Great memories.

@kabuki7038 8 месяцев назад

I'd love to see anything more fantasy or medieval, even if it's just LOTR stuff as I love that too

@generaljarjar5819 8 месяцев назад

Hear me out. Do a canyon diorama with bandits and a wagon train and Maybe another mech to protect the train like you did in the river crossing. Love your work man. Keep it up. LJ

@jasoncoates1835 8 месяцев назад

I loved these minis when they came out too! I was in college trying to work a side hustle as a freelance pro mini painter. I did a bunch of stuff from the range for myself and clients and ended up winning a GW contest for some of it. Still have a bunch of the swag from the prize package, model prop helmets from Weta and whatnot. Fun times. Love seeing these things in action here, excellent work on this diorama as always! I never did have a knack for sculpting, just the painting... And speaking as a former "pro," a pizza box is correct. All of my competition models were primed on pizza boxes too. It helps. Somehow.

You can pay no higher compliment to your younger self than to respectfully upglow older models. You unlocked a handful of core memories for me over the course of this one - no need AT ALL to apologize to us for "getting sentimental." What a beautiful video. Thank you for it.

This makes me want to see your take on the Balrog hitting the water with Gandalf in pursuit.

@TheNickLavender 4 месяца назад

I love the diorama! Great job! Something that would have been super cool, is if between the two pillars, you had a background that was backlit showing the silhouette of the Balrog in the distance or something of that nature that would come on now and then. That would have been insane!

@jeffreyyoung4104 8 месяцев назад

Excellent! I would suggest using hidden footlights at the front bottom of the diorama. Either the same flicker lamps or just amber lamps, to cast the shadows of the men up and onto the backdrop of the diorama, and to light up the men as well.

@captainbobey 8 месяцев назад

This looks really cool, I'm sure it's been done to death, but one of those infinite mirror setups would work very well for the sprawling caverns of Moria

@jkessler99 8 месяцев назад

Would LOVE to see more! I also think the protective mixture you used on the diorama as a base made the whole thing look weathered which is awesome

@calebbilling4984 8 месяцев назад

My introduction to TT as a whole came from the hobby magazine GW did for Lord of the rings- Battle Games in Middle Earth. I still have those magazines kept safe, because they had some of the most useful tutorials for terrain I've ever seen. They'd come with a complimentary mini, sometimes more than one, and the magazine would walk through things step by step. Assembly, painting, a bit of background and lore, a mission involving the mini, and most important of all for me- the terrain section. If it weren't for those magazines, I wouldn't have bought GW's Blue Book of terrain (later on I bought the older, Red book too), and without those I wouldn't have cemented my love for DIY terrain.

@johnnydoe66 8 месяцев назад

I think a combination of your imaginary west and LotR would be cool. Maybe some unsuspecting miners about to bust through into the underworld. On the opposite side, there's a hoard of goblins awaiting to attack and be released into the world above.
