Would have loved it even more flipped around such that the light is off when the post is askew. Then, an unknowing person trying to ”fix” it back in place could be surprised by the fire lighting up XD
I would suggest dropping the rails down at the switch end of the fence so it doesn't look like they're floating when it's switched on. Excellent piece of art regardless 👍
The dragon being kept aloft by his own flames might be the single most impressive effect you've created yet, and the fence-post switch is so clever I almost can't believe it! Incredible stuff!
And to add to that, the effect still looks nearly as great when the LED filaments are switched off, such is the high quality of the painting on the smoke.
“This dragon hates merriment”. Well, then this dragon hates how I feel every time I watch a Boylei video! This collaboration is incredibly cool, and the dragon fire is straight up 🔥! Love this!!!
The way you suspended the 'flying' dragon AND the clever way you hid the light switch is nothing short of inspired! Your diorama really does Chickens Tabletop Crafting Tavern justice! Thanks for sharing this with us!
With as epic as this build is, the thing that I enjoyed the most was watching you turn on the lights at the end by gently moving the fence post. Could this be the beginning of "Crazy Imaginary Medieval Town"?!?! A man can dream.
Others may thing I'm exaggerating, but I'm always left speechless seeing the end-result of your diorama... Amazing as always and so satisfying to watch.
Using the fire to hold the dragon up reminds me of those “magic” water faucets that look like they’re pouring water with no plumbing. Elegantly done as always. Gotta admire the little motley crew defending their favorite watering hole. A good inn is worth its weight in gold.
Fabulous diorama! The whole thing is so great! Love the way the Fire breaks on the heroe's shield, love the dragon suspended in the air, love the little thief! And, the Tavern is amazing!
That dragon model has a special place in my heart! When I told my husband I wanted to get into painting minis with him (he was already interested in this stuff, and I showed him your videos. Turns out he was already a fan of yours!), he got that for the both of us to paint together. It took two years to find the color scheme that we both liked (my mind kept changing what colors I thought looked good) but we finally settled with a black dragon, with the wings and frills being this cool color-changing pigment of blue and purple. That dragon is on our shelf now, with our diorama projects. Thank you for all the lovely videos! Without them, I wouldn't have told my husband that I wanted to share in his hobbies in the first place.
I could watch you build these awesome dioramas for hours! ❤ I feel like a few scattering sheep or a couple of pine trees would fit the background nicely🤔
This is fantastic! What I really like is how you just don't build, but tell a story during the Diorama build and add comedy too! One of the best channels on RU-vid by far!
Bro picked the wrong tavern to mess with. Also love dioramas that tell multiple stories at once, the guy sneaking out the back with stuff is a good little story that we could see happening in a crisis
Another fantastic piece. I was wondering if in your imaginary west. are there giant worms similar to the Graboids from Tremors or the sandworms from Dune? Would be interesting to see a diorama like that.
As someone who plays too much D&D, a green coloured white dragon with a red dragons breath attack is... cursed. Saying that, this diorama is absolutely smashing!
Mannn I'm out of synonyms for *phenomenal*!!!!! Fantastic collaboration. So glad the felting needles and heat gun trick worked. If I do another filament+felt project, I've got to try the airbrush detailing - that gives such "fire" depth and character.
I thoroughly appreciate how you expand our knowledge of the craftsmanship, and expand our base of knowledge by including others in the hobby. Inspiration, knowledge, and merriment!
And when i think you can't "elevate" the level of your creations more than you did already. BAM! You deliver. Love dragons and medieval fantasy dioramas. Amazing
This absolutely RULES! the switch being part of the scenery is huge! Not to mention how dope the fire looks. And the dragon. And the tavern. And the landscape.
Fantastic job. Such a cool build. The hidden fence post switch was genius. One step further would have been to make the two horizontal fence planks that connect to the switch post movable. Pivotable? Is that a word? lol My thinking is when the switch is upright, the horizontal planks remain how they are in the build. But when the switch is on, and the post is angled, the horizontal planks can be made to rest on the ground as if they actually fell off on that end, due to the post being ajar. If that makes sense. Either way, beautiful work as always!
Amazing result!! The Dragon fire looks so real! You have some awesome friends. Thank you for sharing your time, your skills and your incredible adventure.👍🤟🪡🎨
My 5yr old son and I watch a video of urs every night before he goes to bed. He loves watching you work and hearing the stories you tell. Every time we go to the hobby store and see figures like the ones you paint he asks me if it is one you did!! Excellent work sir and thank you for making these memories for me.
Epic! Hands down my favorite of all the dioramas you have done on here. That flame effect is stunning, and the story the whole scene tells is compelling.
Awesome build! I learn so many new tricks watching your videos. This was a great collaboration with @ChickensTabletopCrafting. Now to head over & check out his channel. Happy Modeling, Cory
My compliments to both collaborators: an amazing creation / composition and story! And the surviving patrons of the tavern are going to have a great new story to wow all the noob adventurers with for years to come... Plus, no doubt, a truly amazing trophy to hang over the fireplace / bar!
It seems that with every new session, you try or learn a new way to refine your skills and it shows! This is awesome, from the flame to the terrain to the minis, everything is incredible! Keep it up and as always im lookin forward to the next one.
I've been watching your channel for quite some time now and it inspired me to get into my own crafting stuff (i still kinda suck and don't have much space for a setup but I've been 3d printing and painting. I know you like your western themes, but I would love to see you really do an underwater themed thing, ideally with resin. Your ability to create a story combined with your practical skills could be an awesome creation. I know you've made water based things before, like the watering hole from your western, but maybe a flooded swamp with dangers underneath or fantasy themed would be great.
Definitly my favourite one youve done to date. Its so simple (aside from the wiring) but so cool at the same time and really captures the magical essence of the scene
This might actually be my favorite diorama you've done! The "levitation" of the dragon is incredible, coupled with the fencepost switch! Definitely my favorite one so far!
Hiding the light switch in plain sight and using it as part of the scene is something ive truly not seen before in a diorama and i watch a lot of these. Awesome work. The fire looks great as well, the black turned out perfect
