Something Scarier than Enemy Soldiers Lurks in this Swamp

This week, I found a box of WWII soldiers in rainwear at my local hobby store. I decided to create a diorama with them in a swamp… being snuck up on by giant snake, of course.

So what you’re telling me is that it’s a period diorama from somewhere in the South Pacific or the Congo, during WWII?

Oh, thank God! I watched the whole thing without knowing if this diorama was from somewhere in the South Pacific or Congo during WWII. Thanks for the confirmation everyone! Also, loved the video
I love the atmosphere of the final turnaround shot. The muted colors and faces hidden in shadows really sells the bleak situation. Also the Snek responding to the knock knock joke was hilarious.

I adore that the giant snake in the diorama is a ball python, one of the most harmless snakes there is... not that they know that!

It's not a python, it's a rare new convergent species, the BoyleiHobbyTimePythonidae Serpentes, endemic to this channel. And if you can fit in its mouth it will eat you.
Hi! Snake owner (not entirely an expert) here, this does infact look like a python! Most similarly a Ball Python given the pattern on the back! The head shape is great! Love your videos! Keep it up!

Suggestion on the rain effect: try a smaller straw. That might give you a finer rain texture

i really like how he added details such as the location of south America or the Congo during ww2 🤫
I like the Congo shoutout. Not many people give the Congo the recognition it's due when it comes to large snakes since it mainly houses rock pythons, which don't get large. Although Remy Van Lierde's unofficial 1915 recording of a 50-ft snake has its fair share of skeptics, the Congo harboring some of the world's largest snakes seems a reasonable suggestion to me.

The Army did fight in Burma throughout the duration of the war and Burma is home to the Burmese Python... so I would say this is pretty historically accurate. Well done!

@@benjaminparker4098 I don’t think pythons get quite as big as the one in this diorama, but they do get fairly close. So while it is a slightly larger than normal snake, you’re right in that it’s probably the most realistic “monster” that he has made.

Yeah, this isn't part of the 'Wild Imaginary West' series.
Diorama idea: A small cargo plane that crashed in a dense swampy area (similar to Louisiana), both pilots managed to survive but they’re now being stalked by a giant iguana like creature
I’m such a huge World War 2 nerd. This is an awesome build!! Blending history and fantasy. Great work. I would love to see more World War builds
Always a good day when Boylei uploads :)
I think the rain effects look fine, tbh. Lovely work as always Boylei
That snake looks so real, great work Boylei 👍
Laying in bed before going to sleep while watching Boylei Hobby Time making a new diorama is literally one of my joys in life
Very cool! Dude in the back is about to have a very bad day….
All your builds are awesome, your world building and story telling are 2nd to none. Thanks for posting!
Those final shots are incredible...
A new series with monsters during World War II ? I’m in !
That would be a creepy feeling being in that diorama. 😬 I quote Indiana Jones "Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?" Great Job As Always!!! 👍👍👍
It looks so amazing and so real 🪖😉💚
This is not just a diorama model, this is art. This man is an artist!
Legit dude-ur videos are like some THERAPY to me-your great voice over, added to your Brilliant Talent is what makes your video so great. Keep it up man! Love your work
I really enjoy the little dialogues you create for your figures.
I'm glad you've not given up on Resin!
Oh, man. This hit just right in several ways. I love this diorama a lot. It's so simple but really effective at setting the mood. Do they survive getting ambushed by such a large predator? Do they ever make it back to the rest of the platoon? I've always liked your projects but I was pulled into the story of this one immediately by it. Good job.
I really love this one. The raindrops and green drops on the water surface are so simple but incredibly effective. And it would make my grandfather proud, who served somewhere in the South Pacific, or the Congo, during WWII.
Looks great. Brilliant job on the snake in particular. Love the atmosphere.
I love the gradient on the soldiers and I think the rain effect and snake scales look great!
This is one of my new favorites I think. I absolutely love how glossy and wet the snake looks.
Really wanted to find out the end of the “Knock Knock” joke! I’m sure I’ve had bad dreams similar to what’s happening in this diorama. So creepy but incredibly cool! Great build Boylei!
Snake skin looks brilliant in the glamour shots
Smart and artistic design
This is awesome! I love snakes. The pond water affect is always done so well. I like that you showed where they had walked threw and disturbed it with little trails.
You _can_ see the scales! I love this!
Love the wake you made in the pond weed.. I know it would be something I would have forgotten about and just made it look like they were randomly standing in the water.. What you did gave them movement and direction.. Subtle and impressive. Thank you.
Came out really good. What a long process and lots of planning. Pretty cool
I so look forward to each Sunday watching your videos. Thanks again!
You really are an artist. I am happy you can do this as a job
Beautiful work
Fantastic Diorama, a beautiful example of: Less is more. Everything has its place and purpose ❤
Another Outstanding build and presentation.
As a snake lover, specifically pythons, that's a very accurate python head and one of many patterns they can come with. Great job!❤
This is absolutely stunning
8:06 that tactical pause. "And after that..." My 6 year old and I watch all your content, and you really got us, that time! Cheers!
I want to see you master the water/rain effects. This was great. Your painting is outstanding.
God that’s so badass. This guy would make the best aquariums.
Absolutely astonishing👍
That’s really cool, thank you for sharing that with everyone
The final image is absolutely terrifying! Nicely done. We knock exactly what’s about to happen
You know this channel is amazing when 9 minutes goes by in 3.
There's something forlorn about this diorama. Well done.
You did amazing job. Beautiful piece of work 💖💖
I was going to suggest the LOTR swamp scene next but you already did it! Love it!
Man the flow of the duckweed around the figures is super realistic! Lot's of swamp study, I'm sure 😆
Excellent build! Thanks for another wonderful video!
The epoxy really gave some added life to the snake. Another awesome build!
Your work is incredible
This is outstanding!!!!
I had never seen anything like this, pure artistry and skills. Congratulations.
So beautiful and spooky, I love it!
The duckweed addition is sick as hell
You have such an amazing imagination. So many great ideas, very inspirational.
This is one of my favorite ones yet. The whole scenario feels believable and the way it's set up is terrifying in a "seconds before disaster" kind of way. Excellent work
Besides the fact that these will always be the best miniatures ever, I think my favorite part is always the end when he shows these horrific monsters in this scene with such peaceful music making it somehow even more beautiful
I love the little trails of the pond leaves.... like the forward momentum of the soldiers in the water was pulled off really well.
This is a really great, simple concept done fantastically well. Nice work!
Absolutely awesome Boylei. Stay amazing
Some of these edits were great man, you're making very enjoyable content!

As someone who's done a lot of snorkelling in swamps, I have to say this brings a tear. Swamps are magical, calming and exciting, always teeming, changing, flashing, shadowy. The water's usually amazingly clear till it's stirred. I like the surface in the model, just the right mix of gleaming and murky.
Very cool!
Beautiful piece brother. Your work is always so clean!
You inspire me. Thank you!
Another awesome build there boss.
