Thanks for the story! Currently watching this on a movie theater screen to imagine you building the Ger single-handedly at 1:1 scale. That lattice tape technique was a game changer.
Another excellent video! Thanks for... wait, you lived in Mongolia for 12 years!? You're going to have to do more than just casually mention that in passing. It deserves its own video.
This is truly outstanding, perhaps because it flowed from the heart, and also because it had a tangible feel of reality about it that Star Wars subjects do not. I am possibly the definitive Star Wars/Star Trek geek, but of all the models I have, I swear the one that speaks to me the most is of a London bus. This diorama has that same feel about it to me - wonderful work!
For the past year, I have been learning and practicing Mongolian throat singing. Through that time I have also learned a lot about the Mongolian people and their history. It's incredible how little we learn about these ancient nomads. I love it when people make videos shedding light on these ancient traditions. Absolutely love your work!
@@K_I_A_R_T422 My friend, I listen to them every week 😎 My favourite is Sugaan Essena! I’m a sucker for anything Star Wars, so the fact they made a canon throat singing song for Star Wars is purely incredible.
@@K_I_A_R_T422 Sadly I haven’t had the fortune to afford it while they were in Norway. But next year they will be playing here along with Sabaton and I’m saving up for tickets.
Wow, beautiful! I lived in a traditional Mongolian ger EXACTLY like that one for 2 years in the Rocky Mtns. I had a small Jøtul stove that kept me warm even at -15F. What a cool experience that would have been at 6 years old. Thanks so much for the story and the nostalgia.
This is...stunning. The connection you have with this diorama, coupled with the amazingly realistic detail made it an emotional thing for me to watch. Thank you for this beautiful and personal piece of art!
Thank you so much for sharing that with us! That was incredible. I felt such a sense of nostalgia at the end of the video, and I've never even been to Mongolia. You knocked it out of the park with this one brother, keep up the fantastic work!
This is amazing! I loved all the little memories and tidbits about Mongolia that you shared, i have definitely learnt something new today. What a wonderful little diorama full of ❤️
This is wicked...I love when a model becomes a telling of a personal story. I wish I had one from Alaska..but I was way too young. Its also really nice to see a change of style, trying something out of the norm. I can see the skills you learned in SW translated to here; metal dry brushing, environment and a new one like the detail pen the furniture! I love that idea.
You're totally right, this is a nice change of pace with something most of us have zero contact with even today with global internet, very interesting!
Something about watching the detail that went into this diorama and the voice talking about the memories that went into it brought back memories I never had of places I've never been, seeing people I've never met doing things I've never done.
I had the pleasure of visiting Mongolia after I graduated high school. I sincerely miss it almost weekly, and I only spent about a month there. It's been over 20 years, but I hope to go back sometime before I die. Thanks for your videos!!!
This is truly one for the books!! I can't believe all the wonderful furnishings and rugs that you took the time to recreate so that everyone could see what life was like for those that lived this way. The detail and weathering are spot on! You, Sir are a true genius!! Thank you so much for your inspiration and for your art.
That is such a fascinating life experience. Before COVID, my SO and I were talking about taking a 2-month trip to Mongolia. Last year we made friends with a guy who works for the National Parks now, but when he was in college he studied abroad in Mongolia and spent time in Ulaanbaatar while he was working on his degree in conservation. It's so cool!! I am curious if Boylei managed to learn (and then possibly forget) any of the Mongolian dialects...
I've deeply enjoyed all your videos so far and this is no exeption, the fact that this project bears a special meaning and brings back memories just adds to it in a special way. Thanks for sharing!
I miss the smell of the Mongolian tugrik. The paper dollars in the USA lack that mutton, sweat and coal smoke scent that was always alluring in my childhood. Good video, really enjoyed it.
I came for the Star Wars builds, but this was your best build so far, along with the one you did for your brother. Thanks so much for sharing a part of your life with us.
This is so cool on so many levels: 1) I love the fact that you were in Mongolia as a child (missionary family?), 2) I love modeling and dioramas, 3) I love 4wd vans!
Fun facts about Mongolia: Mongolian Dinosaurs include Velociraptor, Tarbosaurus, Protoceratops and oviraptor so some pretty famous dinosaurs have been found in Mongolia. Mongolia has a navy. Search Mongolia territory you will see why it’s wild.
I have a similar story. my family and I moved to Africa for 6 years. we lived in many places but the best place was living in Kenya. thanks for the awesome video! have a wonderful day.
Great diorama, but man, super cool story. I love that you were able to just make that ger and all the furnishing by hand, including painting all the furniture and rugs, very impressive work.
Watching this video brings me back to a time when I was a child, I remember being young and wanting to build model cars, and airplanes but my dad always told me no, As a 30 year old man, this video really ignited something deep inside of me, great video
I've been going back through your videos, and though you've created consistently exceptional dioramas and models, there's something extra special about this one - I think it might be my favourite. And that's a tough call with everything else you've created.
Man Caleb this was a great video, one of my favorites yet. Besides the diorama looking completely amazing it was really nice that you shared these personal childhood memories with us. And I learned stuff! The canvas that's wrapping the Ger looks very convincing and very authentic. And what can I say about how you made that lattice work, wow! Love when you drop something different like this, it was a real treat.
This made me miss Mongolia very much. I lived there for a little while before I came out, and now am scared to go back and having to come out to all my friends there, but this just brought all the good memories flooding back
Wow. What a cool diorama. Learned a lot from your commentary! I could feel the emotion and how much this meant to you. I'd be very curious to find out more about your time living in Mongolia. Also, what took you and your family there and what brought you back? Might be too personal of questions and that's totally fine if you dont want to answer. Regardless, keep up the good work! Love your channel!
I came across your post and judging by the title I had to stop and drop in. This was very well done and I'm sure brought back a flood of memories. Thank you for sharing this person diorama.
Hello! I grew up in Kazakhstan! Nice to find your channel and see how sweet you are and your memories of the part of the world that is so close to my motherland. Hugs!
Amazing work! Seeing you scratch build anything is such a treat, and I pick up tips and tricks every time. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite creators!
That is amazing. Watching you recreate a memory of yours. And seeing the little detail you put into it 🥺😱 And using things that didn't come with the kit is brilliant. I've never would've thought of making a lattice that way you did
Етить, буханка с кибиткой, I once had a chance to spend a night in a yurt in an early Russian spring, it was comfy, and the car like this one brought me to the aid station when I broke my arm in the countryside, I was 4-5 years old at the time. Thank you for the memories)
I always love it, when people do a "love letter" of their childhood memories. This is no different. I love Mongolian culture, so different and interesting, from the foods, way of life, and their music. Mongolian throat singing is where it's at. Bring on the Morin Khur, make it neigh like a horse.
So coincidental in ways! When I was seven my family moved to South America and we lived there for ten years. Our first vehicle?? A diesel WV van. Guessing it was for the same reason as your family.
That was awesome I enjoyed the story time learning about where you grew up I love learning about how and where people grew up also love your videos and watch them every night before I go to bed.
Nice one! Something completely different this time, but again a beautiful scenery ! And the Buchanka rocks!! A friend had one. Thirsty as hell, but easy to maintain and off-road a blast.
This was great to watch. As you said, it was meaningful for you to make. It's quite clear there's a different kind of care in the process of making this compared to your other work.
Amazing build and great story to go along with it! Must have been tough coming from the States to live off the land like that! Thanks again for sharing your memories!
thats one of your greatest buids..and yes, special personal experiences make good artist ;) I . also like the design, half of the Ger directly to the front of the visitor and the car in the back...more of that.
Wow so nice made this diaroma. Look’s like real country side nomadic family. Outside and inside of the ger, funiture. Furgon is very strong car of russian. Mongolian tourist agency used this car. Great work and your good memories. Таны хийдэг диароманууд маш их таалагддаг шүү. Маш олон бодит бүтээл урладаг авьяаслаг залуу юмаа... Жирийн нэг монгол шүтэн бишрэгч дагагчаас нь. Амжилт хүсье.
Correction: Mongolia was never officially a part of the Soviet Union. They were only ever a satellite.
Thank you for your humility and willingness to correct yourself. You are the goat of the arts
you make the greatest stuff
also what do you do with all of the dioramas
That’s awesome to hear that you are also from Denver Colorado! I love your vids and keep up the great work!
Dumb question. Have looked into using fiber optic type lighting for some of those hard to reach places?
I'm over here printing rugs out on the cheapest paper I can find while you're making beautiful, handcrafted rugs out of fabric and paints.
Both are good 👍
Thanks for the story! Currently watching this on a movie theater screen to imagine you building the Ger single-handedly at 1:1 scale. That lattice tape technique was a game changer.
Hi Studson, why aren’t there any comments here? Ok bye
@@goose1168 no clue
A family from Colorado moving to Mongolia for 12 years is like the most random thing I've ever heard, how come you did that? Can you speak mongolian?
probaly
If I had to guess: some religious missionary deal.
@@666wurm It was spies.
Nice job! Love all the fine detail
@@TeoMaragakis Yes Spies.
When modellers talk about things in real life being 1:1 scale. LOL
what else would you refer to it as? full scale? real scale?
@@johncitizen5130 how about “When I built actual ger’s”
"One time i built a real ger..."
Another excellent video! Thanks for... wait, you lived in Mongolia for 12 years!? You're going to have to do more than just casually mention that in passing. It deserves its own video.

That van is sweet. Another great build, and I learned things too. What a time to be alive!
This is amazing!
I loved all the little memories and tidbits about Mongolia that you shared, i have definitely learnt something new today.

At first I thought you were kidding with the title. This is really cool to know.
does anyone actually realize that this guy is so talented and brilliant?!?
The Buhanka van is a perfect addition
You're totally right, this is a nice change of pace with something most of us have zero contact with even today with global internet, very interesting!

Fellow Mongol here, I've been watching your videos last few days and until now didn't know you were Mongolian. Keep up the good work!

This is such a nice diorama. Its different from your normal stuff but I really like it.
The country life of Mongolia has always fascinated me. Seems like such a peaceful life. Thank you for the video!
This is so cool on so many levels: 1) I love the fact that you were in Mongolia as a child (missionary family?), 2) I love modeling and dioramas, 3) I love 4wd vans!
Th music at the end is what I listen to most nights to relax. Morin Khuur and throat singing.😊
Wow, I like when TH-camrs make a video that talks about there life. Makes it feel like there more human.
Fun facts about Mongolia:
Mongolian Dinosaurs include Velociraptor, Tarbosaurus, Protoceratops and oviraptor so some pretty famous dinosaurs have been found in Mongolia.

Awesome! - A model with a 'REAL' story behind it for a change! 👍👍👍
3:32 Says let's move to the other half of this diorama while cutting the piece of wood in half. Thought that was nice. Awesome piece!
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing a bit of your childhood experience through a diorama.
Wow, that build really took it to a whole other level. A great story from your childhood.
Great diorama, but man, super cool story. I love that you were able to just make that ger and all the furnishing by hand, including painting all the furniture and rugs, very impressive work.
Again amazing work, that story you told while you built sounded like an amazing experience, thanks for sharing it with me.
Watching this video brings me back to a time when I was a child,
I remember being young and wanting to build model cars, and airplanes but my dad always told me no,
As a 30 year old man, this video really ignited something deep inside of me, great video
As a personal touch you could put youre old license plate on the van. Very awesome build and story
As a car enthusiast, your story makes that Soviet van even more beautiful.
Really cool man! My brother was part of the Peace Corps in Mongolia!
What a beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing your home. It is beautiful.
I've been going back through your videos, and though you've created consistently exceptional dioramas and models, there's something extra special about this one - I think it might be my favourite. And that's a tough call with everything else you've created.
Daaaaaaaaaaang, you made the ger completely by hand! And the detail work on the furnishings!
Oh wow! What an amazing childhood. You're so lucky to have these memories.
Loved the way that you showed all of us a little about your life experience. It sounds like you had some wonderful times. As always, beautiful work.
Man Caleb this was a great video, one of my favorites yet. Besides the diorama looking completely amazing it was really nice that you shared these personal childhood memories with us.

Wow, you went from Denver to Mongolia and back. That's hella cool.
I'd love to see a livestream of your workspace while you're working on a project. It'd be a great way to interact with you and ask questions.
Excellent
I visited Upper Mongolia in 1987. We had Yak Butter Tea and Millet in one of those homes.
I really enjoyed this because my friend's dad is a Kalmyk. I'm sharing this with him. Nice job!
Awesome build, the Ger and the Van. The Ger looks wonderful with all the little Details and the furniture.
Amazing work as usual. The detail is spot on. Thank you for sharing some of your personal stories.
The diorama is great but the memories of your childhood and the stories about Mongolia were the best. Well done!!
Very beautiful diorama, and lovely story behind it. Thank you for sharing.
Always good and wise to remember your past... 👍
This made me miss Mongolia very much. I lived there for a little while before I came out, and now am scared to go back and having to come out to all my friends there, but this just brought all the good memories flooding back

Clicked for the cool van, stayed for the awesome story
How dare you make me learn something while I watch you make cool dioramas!
The way you built that structure was great! Thanks for sharing part of your story!
Hello! I grew up in Kazakhstan! Nice to find your channel and see how sweet you are and your memories of the part of the world that is so close to my motherland. Hugs!
That was fascinating and informative. The way you made the Ger wall was rather cunning.
Wait. I need to know why you moved and some about your experiences there. And why you guys came back!
Cant get enough of watching you making them. You are a real artist
Honestly, this is one of my favorite build of yours! Well done! Thank you for sharing your story with us. It made the build so much more meaningful.
Beautiful and touching video.
Felt like a short trip to Mongolia. Thank you very much!
Another great and entertaining build!
It felt like I was watching and listening to a documentary! Thank you for the slight peak into your past.
Thank you for this, I’ve been interested in Mongolian music and culture for a while now, since JFO introduced us to the HU band 😁
a beautiful memory. Your parents must be very proud of you.
I so enjoyed this build. This had such a personal, meaningful vibe, it was a joy to watch.
Amazing work! Seeing you scratch build anything is such a treat, and I pick up tips and tricks every time. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite creators!

Nice one! Something completely different this time, but again a beautiful scenery ! And the Buchanka rocks!! A friend had one. Thirsty as hell, but easy to maintain and off-road a blast.

That just looks wonderful. A nice little tribute to your time there…
