Lake Terror | Epoxy Resin Diorama 

Wow, this looks incredible. Never would I thought a diorama would be so immersive

The ripples ans depth of the water is just mind-blowing detail, especially when illuminated, just wow! 😁

The lantern light hitting the ripples just right, and the ripples creating shadows on the lakebed, are some really cool effects.

"HOLY SHIT A GIANT MOOSE!!" Canadians: "First time?"

This is a top RU-vid channel. All killer, no filler.

I love the idea of the monster being a gentle giant that’s only misunderstood and provoked into attacking people because they think it’s a terrifying monster. Hopefully our frontiersman realizes this and befriends or leaves it alone.

Very nice mate. The lighting makes it look very real and creepy 😳

Leaves crushed underfoot as the man walked, the sound mingling with the natural noises of the surrounding forest. It was cold, the man's breath fogging the air whenever his exhaled, but he was not bothered by it. He stepped over a decaying log, the lantern clutched in his hand swaying, the old metal creaking at the movement. The flame housed inside flickered, its light more then enough to show the man his surroundings. He really should be asleep at the moment, he knew, huddled under the covers and cuddling up to his wife as they both slept, not wondering the forest in the dead of night. But here he was, doing just that. On any other night, he would have indeed been asleep, but something stirred within him at supper hours ago, something that wasnt his dinner. He had tried to ignore the feeling in his gut, but in the end he had failed. Call him crazy for it, he didn't care. Whatever this urge was leading him to, he knew it was important. The trees began to thin, and the sound of slow flowing water reached the man's ears. Mere moments later, he was standing at the rivers bed, barely a metre from yeah the water licked at the river bed. He stood there for a moment, wondering why on earth this gut feeling had lead him to the river. Suddenly this midnight stoll seemed so stuipd. Blast, he must be going mad, listening to his gut without thought. With a sound somewhere between and groan and sigh, the man turned to leave. But just as he had turned his back to the river, he heard a noise. A strange huff filled the air, and the man froze. That sound, as crazy and stuipd it may seem, he knew it. He'd heard it before, years ago, when he was still in his prime. But it couldn't be, could it? Surely not. The man slowly turned to face the river once more, his lantern raised. And there, illuminated by the orange-yellow glow of his lantern, stood a beast who towered over him by many feet, the face of a moose pointed towards him, small pieces of grass and other thing dangling from its antlers. It was a terrifying sight, truly. Yet the man felt no fear. Instead, in its place he felt familiarity build up in his chest. So, this is what that urge was leading him towards. The two stared at each other, neither making a move or sound. That is, until the man spoke. "Hello, old friend. It's been a while." That night, up until the sun peaked out from the horizon, the man and beast spoke for the first time in over a decade, sharing a long waited catch up with each other. (Wow, didn't expect to watch this video and end up writing this little thing. But, I did. So... here, I guess.(yes, this is inspired by the comments saying how this scene sas giving off the aura of two friends meaning again))

Finished watching…and immediately watched it again. Digital sculpting is so good, and the end result of this build is mesmerizing. Awesome build!!

This one's my favourite. I love moonlight, riverside, the monster, human with lantern 🏮. I mean seriously, what more could anybody ask?

love to see when you gonna make a flying monster for the wildwest

As one of the many who requested the wendigo this was not what I expected... but even better! The lamp and the wendigo emerging from the lake really set this off.

Damn you!! I was doing just fine noodling on my guitar while watching random vids on guitar or surfing and stumbled on your miner build and now I am hooked and have abandoned my guitar practice. Love all the themes and creativity. Kinda want to sell my guitar now and get a creature printing rig or whatever and start making cool stuff.

This is probably one of my favorites so far, especially the glamour shots at the end, the moon-esque lighting combined with the awesome orange of the lantern brings this whole scene together. I feel terrified for the little guy.

i've been on a bit of a horror diorama binge the last few days again, and i gotta say - while it surprised me at first - it's nice having a voice to accompany and explain the crafting process instead of just watching the timelapse play out for once haha

Literally as the ending song is playing I’m writing a whole movie and script in my head, genre, thriller/maybe horror or just thriller. This could be something. 🙌🏽

I feel like this man has a unique relationship with the Wendigo. Like, as a child, he got to thinking it was his friend. The beast protected him, in a way. Scaring off the bullies that tormented the man as a child. Now, in his older age, he protects the beast from being hunted. But is torn as he knows the Wendigo hunts those who trespass on his shoreline. Yet, he can't bear the thought of turning his back on this creature he's known most of his life.

Your painting and water effects always blow me away

Outstanding work. PS, I love the reference to Rocky & Bullwinkle. Nice to see all us old people are still around an remember the Great cartoons.

your 3d sculpting skills are insane and not appreciated enough like you managed to design a monster that anatomically makes sense but also is diverges from anything that exists in the real world

That was a gorgeous diorama, I especially loved Bulkwinkle.

Water ripples! What a trip!! I did not know one could grab such a thing off a shelf, wherever fine hobby supplies are sold!!! :-)

A fine addition to your Wild, Imaginary West Series! What really got me was the contrast between the 21st Century 3D modeling techniques you used to create your monster, followed-up by the basic modeling used to paint it and make the base. Another job well done! Happy Halloween! Now, about that Steampunk Train/Monorail and the Airship . . . .

you should absolutely do a video going further in depth on how you create in nomad sculpt, seeing the sped up creation of the moose guy was super interesting !

I always love your Fantasy Wild West projects, but this one is a level up.

That light does so much for it. It’s so good

Absolutely love these western builds! Yet another very cool one. A flying monster would be cool to see, that or maybe some type of herd of smaller monsters, similar to the buffalo hunters of old

If you read this, I want you to know that you are an inspiration. My 9 yo son and I watch a diorama video every night before bed, and you are my favorite. Thank you.

Ok, your joke got me :< I admit it. Was about to google it.

"I want to see death more clearly as it approaches me." I feel that, Prospector Dude. I feel that.

I love the final result, with the light on the little human its more spooky

The gun reloading sounds for the glue gun cracked me up :D Also, I'm doing my own pieces after being inspired by this channel and doing some extensive research into how to bring my ideas to life my own way. I really can't get enough of these build vids

May I just say the lighting you have on it at the end is perfect

I LOVED this! I have zero knowledge when it comes to hobbies and crafts like this but I find your explanations really interesting and strangely relaxing. My favourite of your dioramas so far!

This is insanely amazing. I just stumbled onto this channel and feel like making these miniature scenes would be a hobby I’d absolutely love

I just adore the homage on the original story of "the Wendigo"!!! its so super cool!

Man this is cool. So wicked. The moss hanging on his antlers was a nice touch. Also liked where the guys light barley lights up the monster figure. Great job buddy. Can you imagine walking up on something like that? Lol Also idk how exactly how you made that figure, but man, you freakin nailed it. Original and so very cool

This is so dope. I love that fact that you were inspired enough to actually accomplish one of your dreams, whereas I struggle to gather up the courage to even attempt one of mine.

Unbelievable. The water ripples and its depth sculpted together by the illumination of the lantern.

WOW!! I have so much more appreciation for your perfect resin work on this project after watching your most recent vid about your earlier resin fail! Thank you for everything you teach us!

Rocky is a wendigo, that hilarious and I love the idea. Also a fantastic diorama. Really cool that you 3d printed the moose and this makes me want to try dioramas.

I have never taken any interest in epoxy resin dioramas before, got this in my recommended already hooked

As someone who is a fan of the Windigo folklore, this is perfect!

mate, this is honestly amazing, I even got small tears from how impressive that clip where you showed the final result was.

I could only dream of making something like this.

out of all the dioramas ive seen on youtube this is my favorite 👍

If the windigo had glowing red eyes, that would've been the icing on the cake right there...a more emaciated & half rotted creature would've been awesome too...still way better than that one I never built! Lol!!!

that Water Ripples product is amazing, always satisfying to watch you apply that

Woah..... This is legitimately spooky.

Your ideas are always the best with these monsters and creatures

I was eating when the words "one child-friendly wendigo is Bullwinkle" and that was almost it for me. This is gorgeous.

Seeing how you sculpted the figure makes me really wanna pick up that skill.

Something about your work is just so lovely.

Man, your talent is absolutely unmatched!! I’ve been binging your videos and you have an amazing ability to tell a story with just a little slice of the world. Not to mention your sense of humor is perfectly dry! Now, back to my binging!! Can’t wait to see what else you create

One of my favorite creative art I have seen

Love the night/dark diorama. Need more of them.

The Vendigo's eyes came out really nice, looks like a real moose

Imagine how terrifying this scenario would be. You're in the forest and want to get a quick sip from a lake and that guy is there. Pointing his glowy thingy in your eyes

When I see dioramas like that I always try to imagine the story behind the scene

i could watch you forever! your humor is awesome!

I cant get enough of your videos. Incredible man.

no words to how this looks! well done! Actually looks frightening!

I could watch these videos all day....you are most definitely an amazing artist. You should sell your work... people would pay good money for it I'm sure.

I’m hooked on your videos, perfectly timed and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!

I just LOVE your dioramas that implement little LED lights your dioramas always look so realistic but then you add the little lights and it takes it to another level I thought it might have been cool to make the monsters eyes glow but it looks incredible and terrifying love the content

Simply incredible! So glad I found this channel!

I cannot believe I am just now finding this channel, this is remarkable!

This is absolutely beautiful. This is the exact type of story I like.

Man, this may be my favorite one that I've seen. I'm sure that'll change though as I binge your videos and watch the new ones as they come out lol.

That reload was kinda realistic. Nice build 👍

The waves on the water man... awesome

The futuristic wild world is turning out awesome. I like how your monsters are based on real animals. It's very impressive and impressive keep up the good work

The further adventures of Leo, the intrepid pioneer explorer!

This reminds me of a dream I had once but the monster was a bunch of giant eels and frogmen

Dude! That is amazing!! I can only hope to be that good at creating dioramas one day.

Amazing work, diorama wise and video editing too. I can see you poured at least part of soul here to make this one extra special. Thanks

The attention to detail is incredible! These are so fun to watch.

Your videos are legitimately inspirational. I know I have the skillset to jump into diorama making, but this might actually push me into it!

The sculpting paste is a new technique for me. I will try it.

You deserve way more subs! Amazing work.

The vibe of this build gave me goosebumps at the end with the showcase. I am loving all your builds but this one is my favorite at the moment keep up the great work.

I have no words to express my awe at this monstrosity. I'm amazing but jesus that thing is freaky.

If this was a game I would have passed out

The water ripples do so much for this

Dude this is absolutely amazing. You are great, keep up the fantastic work!

looks like the monster from the ritual also with the setting very nice work

honestly this stuff should be made into a video game

man that's amazing! I do get an eerie feeling seeing moose in the moonlight, they're just gigantic

the hunter being hunted , love it

I love the pauses in between sentences while he was sculpting the large Moose Man. Felt like an Episode of the office

It looks more like a skin walker than a windigo but still amazing! Grate idea with the light too.

This one is for sure one of my favorites! Well done

Absolutely breathtaking!

Loving your dioramas! They're beautiful!

wow your work is second to none

I've never seen your work before but this is fantastic! Thank you so much for making this

"With this lantern I'll not only be able to see upwards of 6' in _any direction,_ but anything could see _ME_ from MILES away! "And let us not forget the self-inflicted light blindness in these dark lands... "May the gods bless you in your evasion as they have so blessed us with food that is truly of the house of "Rube."

I love wendigos, they are so cool.

Your fantasy and Sci Fi diorama creativity is so top notch. Love it.

Just started watching your channel and I can't wait to see the rest of your Wild Imaginary West vids. Very good and fun so far.
