MONSTER CIRCUS in the OLD WEST with BOYLEI HOBBY TIME 

Thank YOU my friend!! This was so much fun and I really felt like I was a part of a true collaboration. It's nice to have a place in your Wild West town because I love the whole concept of it so much. Rock on fish!!! : )

Thanks to you both!

I agree. You guys are the BEST!!!!

Apart from Bill ofc.

@@MrGeoronimo Haha!

It's honestly so refreshing that a community is supportive of each other. There's so much competition in other communities, but I only see collaboration and fun here 😊

@@Geordiecrafts Yes, so much fun. Thanks Geordie, I recently subbed to your channel. I like that storm diorama that you did... I still need to watch your "How to make a tree" video. Cheers and rock on! : )

Thank you so much!! I'm sorry to hear about your hands. That is a tough one. I am fascinated by the idea of 3D printing and I even have a few concepts where I could use it creatively. However, for the most part I prefer to build things by hand or to watch other artist create things from scratch. I guess it's just a preference thing. Thanks again for watching!!

@@CajunCraftastrophe I am from a time before 3d printing. :) I would have probably given it a try though. It does look fun to create with a program and then see it come to life.

You came here for DADDY?!? Hmmmm… after a quick scan, I see that your IP is the same one as Daddy’s 486…. #BUSTED!

Hahaha!

: ) Thanks! Yes, I see where 3D printing can be put to good use in crafting and in other ways, but I really like making things by hand. Thanks for subscribing!

@@CajunCraftastrophe No problem! Here's a true story that may amuse you: I'm 62 now, but when I was nine years old, I was at the local Target store in 1969 armed with a whole dollar and some change, and looking for a model kit to build. In those days, the toy section at Target devoted an entire aisle to model kits of all kinds, and I had a lot to chose from; especially with so much money to work with. As I was looking, an "old man" (about my current age) was also browsing the model kits. He commented to me that when he was my age, model building was very different: There were no injection molded plastic kits, and everything had to be carved from wood with plans and templates. Flash forward about fifty years, and I was that man's age in a hobby shop where a 3D Printer was being demonstrated. A couple of kids about ten were also watching, and I couldn't resist commenting to them that in MY day, model building was VERY different . . . . I'm glad that there are young people like you and Boylei to keep the hobby alive and vibrant. Keep up the good work!

@@modelermark172 Thanks Mark (I'm assuming it's Mark). That is fascinating, and a fun story. Pretty much the only thing that I want to use 3D printing for would be to create some action play-sets based off of some silly concepts that I have. They would have about 8 to 10 action figures each. If I tried to carve the figures out of wax and then make molds of each limb, torso, and head it would take me probably about a year. However, with 3D printing I think that I could create one of these play-sets in a month. With a project like that I think that 3D printing is a perfect fit because the project is more about the fun concept than the actual build... I guess it also helps knowing that I COULD carve and mold the figures in the first place if I needed to. There are a couple of other situations where I can see the potential use, like background elements for stop motion sets. 3D prints would be a huge time saver, and there's never enough time in film, but for the vast majority of things I feel like if I have a crafting channel then I should actually build things instead of printing them. Plus I LOVE building things. Thanks!!

@@CajunCraftastrophe It is Mark. And if memory serves, that "old man" I met said that he was looking for kits for "parts," such as clear canopies, wheels and propellers to detail his traditionally hand-carved models. (He was using plans originally designed for WW2 "Spotter Models.") Currently, the only 3D Printed parts I got were a couple of "Tesla Crate Motors" for customizing model cars. But I ordered those online. I don't have a 3D Printer (heck, I don't even have a Dremel Tool!) I don't know much about CAD design or coding, so it would be a useless fifty pound paper weight on my workbench. Again, thanks for doing your part to see that model building - be it hand-carving, or 3D Printing - doesn't become a "lost art."

That would be cool! Thanks for watching, Shea!

Haha! : )

Bergeron! Thanks, it was an amazingly fun collab for me!

@@CajunCraftastrophe I bet! He said in his video he even came down here to visit with you. I hope you showed him some good food!!

@@ZomgLeslieCat We had a great meal in the French Quarter!

Thank you my friend. Your artwork really shines and has helped me to bring to life some ideas that I have been contemplating for a long time. Your work RULES!!!

🙏🙏

Thanks Knarb!! It's great having you here to check these videos out. I love your work man! I always learn something new every time I watch your channel.

Thanks for subscribing! : )

Thanks so much, Quijin! I do like adding animation to these videos. : )

Thanks so much, Geordie! 1:72 scale is SMALL (s it odd to emphasize the word "small" in ALL CAPS?)... Anyway, I bought myself a pair of those bug-eyed looking magnification goggles specifically for this project. It made a world of difference, once those were on and I was feeling sufficiently ridiculous, I just needed to constantly repeat to myself "Butterfly kisses, butterfly kisses." Sometimes crafting isn't pretty! : )

@@CajunCraftastrophe I gotta get me a pair of those! I tried the magnifying lens that's built into my hobby light, but I move around too much for it to be practical. I'm glad to know they're working out for you! I'm currently working on a VERY small scale project so I need lots of butterfly kisses or it will be a disaster!

@@Geordiecrafts Hahaha! Here you go: www.amazon.com/dp/B07HRM9GW9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Glad you enjoyed it, Crafsman! It was a wonderful experience to work with Caleb. I felt like I needed to make my figures count because Boylei got some sick skills! I didn't want to be the albatross around his neck... His fans would lynch me!! : ) Thanks brother, I really appreciate you having a look and commenting. You RULE!

Same, this channel is gonna be fun.

Thanks for subscribing. Much appreciated! : )

Yay!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks! Much appreciated on my end as well! : )

Welcome aboard!

A well written comment, by a writer no less, is inspiring to ME! So it looks like we're even. : ) Seriously though, thank you so much, it's nice to hear.

Thanks Matt!

Thanks so much Causmo!

Thanks Dan! This was fun and very much a privilege. I enjoyed every minute of it!

Rock on, Jason! Thank you! : )

Thanks for subscribing fellow Southerner! : )

Haha! I can say with a fair degree of certainty that no person on the planet has ever brought as much creativity to the Louis and Clark model kit as Boylei has. : ) Thanks Dragon!

Tom Waits would seamlessly fit into any Western town! O love that guy. Thanks man!

It's an honor and a privilege to have a little part of it. Boylei is AMAZING!

Thanks Nick! This one was at the very edge of how small I can sculpt. Man, 1:72 is SMALL!!!!!!

Mais yeah!!!! : ) Thanks!

Now that makes me smile. Thanks for saying!!!! : )

Whoa! That's an amazing coincidence! Go Team Magwire! : )

Haha! Thanks Echo Delta. That 1:72 scale is TINY!

Glad you like them!

Thanks!

She's my baby.

Cheers Thombie! Thanks for watching!

Welcome aboard! It's a one man show over here... then my Daddy of course wants to sit in when I'm recording voice-over. Sigh. I am a musician, but I don't usually make the music for the episodes because it would just be too much on my plate. I do edit the music a ton so that it fits into the video in a way that works for my tastes. Thanks Sarah, now get some rest. : )

Haha! I wasn't sure if I should leave that one in or not... but now I have confirmation that at least one person found it amusing and that's like 50% better than most of my attempts at humor, so I'll take it!! : ) Thanks for watching, BP!!

@@CajunCraftastrophe I'll be here buddy 👍 your videos are incredible!

Heck yeah, Michael. Thanks! I use magnification to sculpt so small. If not then the sculptures look... rough. : )

Thanks Bill. I had to buy a set of magnification goggles because the stuff is SO FREAKING SMALL!!!Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

So cool! Yeah, that's my stomping grounds. Hoodoo Ice Cream is soooooooo good. Thanks so much for purchasing the prints. I love both the Absinthe and Sazerac paintings! I'm sure they'll look great in your new home. Cheers and thanks again!

@@CajunCraftastrophe We are in Prairieville. We spend alot of time out your way. If you have ever seen the British cars gather at Liz's in Mandeville, run with that group.

@@britishsouth I may just drop in on ya! : )

Thanks Shakes!

That's what brought down my mentor. I'm not sure what he was thinking.

I hope so too! It's very dry out here. Thanks for watching Volt!!! Your name shall be appearing in many more videos!!

Yay! Thank you!

Haha! Thanks Chason!

Haha! We were just starting to get things really smooth with the Native Americans and then my Dad showed up... well, the two words that best describe the nature of our relation now is "War Path." Sigh. Thanks for watching, Susan!

Awesome! Thank you! I love hearing this. Cheers!

Hi Reaper! Yes, it is a cool little community of crafters that we have going on here. I feel very privileged to be a part of it. Tres cool! Yes, I laugh every time I see Boylei and his fish bowl too! : )

Mmmm... Bacon Bond. Taste great, but it really sticks to the roof of the mouth. Thanks!!

Wow, thanks! : )

😁Cheers, Quassi! Good to see you here. Thanks!

: )

Thank you so much 😀

Yes, it's amazing artwork! I did not know that you two guys were friends. Pretty cool!

@@CajunCraftastrophe i think you are all so talented… your creativity is a super power…thank you for sharing it with the world

Thanks for subscribing! : )

Thanks! I like the *chef's kiss*. It instantly produces the perfect mental visual! : )

Yay! Thanks for coming over. : )

: ) Thanks!

I appreciate that! That's what I'm going for so this means a lot to me. Thanks!

Knubbers! : )

I'd think twice before backing any Kickstarter involving my Daddy. You would just end up another statistic in a Class-Action Lawsuit. Thanks for watching, PKT!

More like Orson Whales. : ) Thanks for watching!

The only entertainment for miles! Easy pickins'

Thank you so much 😀! Cheers mate from America!

I apologize in advance for any gastrointestinal issues brought about by the Snake Oil, but I certainly do appreciate the sub!!!! : ) Thanks!

@@CajunCraftastrophe Funily enough I was in the same boat with Boylei (just less liquids of... questionable digestibility involved) a few months ago but then I saw his wild west sci-fi setting and was like, "Well this tickles all my check boxes." and made the commitment. Bout to peruse some of your back log after hitting the reply button heh.

Haha! I'm glad that you came over to watch this! Thanks. p.s. judging from the effects that I have seen, everyone is allergic to Snake Oil . : )

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!!!! : )

Thank you very much, David!

Thanks Pamela! : )

Mix! : ) Yes, get that build finished my friend!

Wow, did you ever see a Thunderbird in Paris, Texas?? There were a couple of eggs in the nest that were too heavy to move. I've always wondered what happened to those. You're gonna love Cosclay. It's stickier than Sculpey, but sooooooooo much better (IMO). Use some Corn Starch if it's too sticky. Thanks for watching, Racheal!

Hahaha! I probably would too... The Battle Action Benjamin Franklin is worth the price of the entire set alone.

Personally, I covet the Razor-Brimmed Stovepipe Lincoln from the Gettysburg Elite set the most.

@@chandler7453 : ) That is a good one!

PD!!!!! I'll admit that I like those Western kit. I guess that they didn't sell well over the pond. I only really built WW2 airplane models as a kid. That stuff still fills me with good nostalgia. Thanks for watching and don't check the prices (I'm sure that they're high!)

Thank you! Cheers!

Hey, thanks!

It's very smart and does all the bookkeeping for the entire traveling show... but I think it's embezzling money...

@@CajunCraftastrophe ...Who's the birdbrain who let a BIRD hold the purse-strings?

@@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247 that would be my Dad... I just knew it would be a mistake, but he insisted. : )

@@CajunCraftastrophe He lays into that snake-oil scheme a lil' thick, doesn't he? Eda The Owl Lady: "Nobody likes an un-oiled snake!"

Thanks so much!!

@@CajunCraftastrophe no problem man, keep it up 😁

Yippie-Ki-Yay!!!! Thanks!

Thanks Dave, much appreciated. Yes, she sells her paintings. www.magwireart.com/

@@CajunCraftastrophe I just had a look at her website 😳 she has so many to choose from 👌 I just seen the seahorse Girl 😳 I might have to get that one, I literally just finished sculpting a sideshow gaff of my own version of a feegee mermaid and I thought it would be original if I gave it a seahorse body 🤪 it's like your wife's poster was made to display it 😳. Thanks again T Nu I'm really loving your content 👌✌️❤️
