After last week's build, I was inspired to create another mech to add to my Wild West. I love building mechs.
The idea was a mobile watchtower or outpost that patrols the tundra.

The more this world continues to grow, all I can think of is an awesome open world game. I mean that would be so cool if you could customize your own mech and ride around in it, hunting monsters for extra cash on the side.
That would be a amazing game
RDR with mechs and monsters. Take my money!
Sounds like a great game. Where do I sign up for that waiting list?? 😁
like RDR, hunt showdown, and star wars mixed together
IM SO IN
So I would imagine it would be the result of what would happen if Titanfall, red dead redemption and monster hunter had a threesome and birthed this game
Another incredibly impressive build!
Have you considered adding a train station / Wild West train to your town collection? I think you could work wonders with that duo.
Yes! That would be awesome. With a monster transport cage car
@@hoguemr yes! Maybe instead of a cattle train, a line of similar train cars designed for carrying monsters back East that have been captured/hunted.
It needs to be an armored train, since it is a dangerous land.
Do you know of a type of machine called a “strandbeest”?It’s a wind powered walking machine with multiple legs. A walking train using this type of locomotion would be cool to see.
Have you seen kabaneri of the iron fortress? Well I feel a train similar to the one on that show would be a awesome idea to add to the wild west monster world.
If you’re trying to keep with the more ‘frontier’ style names, I’d advise calling this an E.L.K, maybe part of a larger naming system for stilt-legged mechs based off of deer/ungulates?
I was thinking moose but elk or reindeer works just as well
Caribou?
I was thinking beasts of burden. These are machines fulfilling the purpose that an animal would serve. So a Camel, maybe.
I agree
Maybe it should de a horse tipe animal name such as : gazelle , antílope, elk/moose ,deer etc…
Love the concept, and i think that "Strider" would be a good name because of the long legs. I easily imagine this one being able to take long range trips in shorter times compared to other mechs, or be used as a scouting mech ahead of hunting parties with heavier, beefier mechs.
Every time I hear "strider" I think immediately of Half-Life 2. Go for something else. Of course that's just my opinion.
I also favor strider, but do not think they're fast. But maybe they can handle all terains including swamps or can be used going thru forest and collecting things which hang higher in the trees.
@@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462 Scout is better and I got this name from another person in comments.
@@aGentleUser That thing could also be used as a mobile ice fishing hut, those slim legs should be great to break through the ice so that you can make your way into the middle of the lake. And when i hear Strider i think of a Silt Strider from Morrowind, which even looks incredible similar
I really need to see this movie…
...or read the book
These mechs are used for long term monster hunting in extreme terrain, such as snow, heavy rain, swamps, and large mountains. Unlike other monster hunting vehicles, these act more like tree stands, allowing hunters to get a good view on a monster from a longer distance. Inside the main cabin, all of these mechs have a built in stove and radio, as well as a place to sleep, and store weapons/food. The crane on the back can attach to crates to lift supplies, but they are most notably used to attach to hunters, allowing them to do repairs on the mech without the need to stop.
Maybe used to get the horse up and down too?
@@RedStrayHound i suspect the horse is teathered visa just a rope hanging form the venteral strut or something.
Since it's used for Monster Hunting, you could call this a Stalker. Not only for the meaning of that word, but because it could be a contraction of Stilt Walker as well. Stiltwalker was my first idea. =)
Stalker sounds good for the two-legged walker
Great idea, also because it kinda walks on "stalks"!
@@tiffanyrockwell2239 He could call it a "Scout" seeing that it's a mobile whilst still fitting the same concept of observation.
I like the name
Yeay
I like imagining the controls for these mechs. If they have limited autopilot for easy to traverse terrain and climbing and uneven terrain needs a pilots percision
Oh believe me i can imagine "autopilot".
"Hey otto! Get up here so i can sleep!"
"Coming boss!"
Incredible build since wagon mech are called mules you could keep the same theme going for the larger 4 legged mechs and call them Oxen since those animals in the old west were used pull the larger wagons. also I like how you ad safety features like hand rails
I will add a second vote to calling these larger mechs Oxen👍
Third to the motion.
this might be my favorite mech build you've done!
I have to agree, best so far for me!
Glad you committed to the frosty and snowy look. Turned out great!
The Bob Ross of model improv is back once again to layer on details and impress the shit out of us!
If my father was still alive this would be his favorite series hands down. He loved sci fi and westerns so much.
Thank you for sharing your hobby time with us.
That icicle technique is very nice. Simple but effective
Everything you do is good. The snow and ice really takes the immersion and storytelling to another level.
Very cool. I really like how you come up with this stuff. I also liked the snow/frosty parts as well. It really shows its in the wild. Very cool. Maybe make a huge fortress.
The guitar strings is one of the coolest add ons I've seen yet, it's like they were made to be pipes and railings lol
This is one of my favorite series on TH-cam. The world building is FANTASTIC
That snow and ice was so satisfying. Very cool man.
I'm loving the western monster hunter series. I think since the mules are smaller and named after a beast of burden then the larger one should share the same trait. One larger beast of burden is a camel but that could be for a specific water carrier. I recommend this larger type be called Yaks.
The greeblies on that mech really make it believable, love details like that.
Your world-building is beyond next-level.
I love this mash up. I see an entire drama series, part "Wild, Wild West", part "Predator".
Your builds are incredibly impressive, but it’s your dry humor that keeps me coming back! I totally lost it at “I made sure to keep my thumb underneath so that when I feel pain, I know to stop drilling.”
Loving the Imaginary Wild West series! The way you made those UV resin icicles was genius.
I love how the mech turned out! A wonderful blend of wild west and sci-fi
I could imagine one of those giant mechs having to head to head against some kind of monster, a giant beast slowly lumbering out of the forest or something. Gotta say you have made one awesome world bursting at the seams with potential. Didn't think I'd like a steampunk wild west but I changed my mind immediately.
Please never stop making these,it just gets better and better !!!
Yeah, I'd really like to see a diaroma where the monsters win one, like a tipped mech rummaged and turned into a monster hide out! Awesome work man
I read mech, I click like...
Might be my favorite so far. I think the icicles sent it over the top. Wonderful.
This is the only TH-cam series that i watch on sight, when a new video comes out, i think. Love the content, love the universe
I wish this was a movie/video game. Such a wonderful brain child of an idea.
I think you should call these protective-warning mechs Canaries. Kind of a nod to the canary being brought into the mine shaft to alert miners of dangerous gasses. That's my vote!
This one with this snow touch is amazing.
This wild west universe would make an amazing film.
This turned out pretty awesome. Those large monsters are huge. This things size definitely makes sense. I'm sure it helps spy those huge monsters before they so you too. Watchtower wouldn't be a bad name itself.
I love the little details you put into it it’s so aesthetically pleasing
My 18th birthday is today and I was so happy to see you post about you imaginary wild western world. It's my favorite theme you do on the channel. Keep up the amazing work man!
Love the way you start the scenery and the end is special but amazing thanks for that joy
You’re awesome attention to detail is impeccable!! Lover watch you transform nothing into something. Can’t wait for next week’s episode on Boylei Hobby Time.
Love the snow vibe! Beautiful work.
I really enjoy your videos, especially the fact that you give each piece a story. I look forward to the continuing of your weird wild west.
The cocktail forks are a brilliant touch!
dude i would love to see a full scale video of this entire world. IF it was a movie i would watch it all the time!!!!
The snow and icicles look really good!
"When I felt pain, I knew it was time to stop drilling..." 😂😂😂 The characterful modelling and droll commentary make these videos a real pleasure. I really like the bent wire used for railings, pipes and complex cable runs.
This channel is pure gold! There may be other modelling youtubers who use more sophisticated techniques, but the pure creativity shown here is just amazing.
I'm so in love with your Wild West stuff. I'm going to actually be sad if/when you move on.
This is one of my favorite ones yet! I loved it so much
This is an absolutely excellent piece, and a fascinating world you’re creating. Keep us posted!
You really get a sense of how this thing walks with the pose it's set in, a kind of unstable gait.
i imagin this in the middle of a monster hunting party camp keeping watch with a few mules parked around it love this build and the world you are building it is awsome keep it up i always look forword to your vids
I'm a simple man; I see a mech build, I hit the like button. Great build!
Fascinating. I’m at that point where I can’t wait to see the next project.
This reminds me of frostpunk a lot. With the giant steampunk mech covered in frost, it looks amazing!!
That last theme song fits the final result so perfectly
These builds just keep getting cooler and cooler - awesome work m8! Looking forward to the next one
Just when I think you can't out do yourself, bam, a new video hits my feed. Incredible work!!
This might be your most impressive build yet. it looks stellar. Can't wait to see more!
You build so fast! I feel like you're putting out almost two of these videos a week! Great job!
Love it, it’s like sci-fi mechanized stage-coach. Brill project mate 👍🏻
I love your creations and I think what you do is incredible your patience and creativity, I love it
Your skills are unbelievable
This gives me heavy Frostpunk vibes, and I love it! Good work! I absolutely adore this series, as well as your worldbuilding.
Me too bud
This specific model reminds me of Frostpunk with all the snow. I think i might start my own model creation with the idea of that world. I can't get over how beautiful the snow looks on the model!
These mechs and landscapes keep getting better and better!
These builds are just so cool! I really enjoy your imaginary wild west.
i got your videos in my recommended feed and boy am i glad i did! i am absolutley in love with your videos and have been watching almost all of them over the past few weeks. You are so talented and you really bring each project to life with your detail work and creative solutions!
Yo! This series has inspired me to make 5 bipedal mech walkers in this style out of lego.
Your builds keep getting better! They're awesome..
Your talent always leaves me speechless
your builds are MONUMENTAL!!!!!!
Love it! I look forward to your next "Wild Imaginary West" video. They are always a great inspiration to watch!
Congratulations again. One of the things that I admire the most about your creations is your ability to invent new trinkets from disconnected pieces that once put together make sense. I find the creative process very inspiring and from which I always learn something new. Thanks for sharing the videos and go ahead with them. 👍😉
This guy does great work! but it is weird that I've been watching his videos back-to-back today for his voice? There's something very soothing about it and is putting me in a relaxing mood. had at be at a 7:30 meeting at work today, on my day off, and so now that I'm home I don't want to do anything. So I'm watching youtube videos as I draw. Listening to him describe what he's doing is nice and then when he's done, I get to see the final build. So, i don't have to pay that close attention to the screen so I can focus on what I'm drawing, but something about his tone is just nice to the ears. Dude should do audio books.
Sounds like what you are creating is a great idea for a table top game. Nice work!
Found this channel like 2 days ago and I love it
I love it when you kitbash you make the coolest stuff
Dude your work is mind blowing!! I love how you craft your ideas from scratch! Watching you make that mech out of nothing was amazing. Can't wait to hear and see more stories from this lore you are crafting!
So glad I found your channel, love your work!
I suggest a tadpole roast on the lake shore (think "shore lunch") The men would be "fishing" man sized tadpoles with frog gig harpoons while a giant mama frog watches while floating nearby. Perhaps some sort of fishing reel mech would be in use.
Keep up the great work!
Excellent suggestion! Making the babies of the monsters the size of walrus or hippos is a delightful way to underline the scale difference between them and humans. And there might be model sets out there with tadpoles and frogs in relevant scale, which is a feature lacking from most ideas I read on here.
Wow, this is definitely my new favorite creation from you
Well done!
And don't be surprised if a production company offers to buy the rights to this series, much like they would with a computer game, graphic novel or comic book.
That being said, maybe you should consider giving your diorama characters names and back stories.
Inspired, atmospheric and gorgeous, another masterpiece!👍👍
You should do a centipede mech, or a section of one. I remember playing a game called crimson skies and it was a mix between a 20’s - 30’s era environment but with crazy futuristic yet simplistic style aircraft but one of the enemies was a mechanical centipede. Would love to see you do a rendition of something like that. Love the vids man keep up the great work.
Glad someone else out there who played Crimson Skies got the vibe I did when I first saw him build one of these. He just needs to make a plane (steam powered bi-plane??) for spotting/fighting some of the bigger monsters.
This has been an impressive series so far. Old West theme (but not 'hokey'); cool, original monsters; anachronistic automation: to quote the Doctor, "has someone been peeking at my Christmas list."
I’m really enjoying your wild imaginary west builds
Could you add giant animals or giant insects as monsters or just some flying monster because then you could add like a flying going with rotors and guns that hunt the flying ones or even some of the big monsters! Also amazing video and amazing build as always :)
I really look forward to these videos - I mainly kitbash things for specific games and such but I might turn my hand to doing something more of my own imagining like you have some time
Wow! This is by far the best piece out of this world.
Mate! You out did yourself. Rider & Strider! brilliant!
That is so janky and awesome. Like a hoopty vardo giraffe. Can probably cross a LOT of terrain in that.
I love the aesthetic you got with this one! It reminds me of of the art of Jakub Różalski.
Maybe you can make like a cabin in the woods were a fight between some cowboys and some monster happened and there is either the fight or the aftermath, that would be cool, I love this universe you are creating
Enjoying your work! This one gives me flashbacks to the 80s tv series The Tripods.
Yes! I live for these Wild Imaginary West videos!
I love this series. This was a gorgeous addition. If you wanted to keep the beast of burden theme for the mechs since you started with mules that could be cool, especially since you mentioned the mechs are slower than the horse drawn wagons. Maybe camels or bison for these big guys?
Since he has made that one bison headed monster, I think that these beefer four-legged mechs should be Oxen.
Just better and better from you each time. I've been painting minis for 4 years and I've been wanting to get into models like this. And you've been a great inspiration for that
Looks like Tim Burton's Wild Wild West/Star Wars mashup. The differences between the builds within this universe are great.
I'm always amazed by your work.
Oh I love watching this stuff! You are very talented.
This is awesome, probably my favourite mech after the swamp walker(the bird\crane looking one)
The ice and snow is perfect
This is getting ridiculous. Amzing work as always. Easily my favorite thing to see when logging into YT. Another Wild West BHT Vid.
