When it came to adding logs to the tanks it was done for 2 reasons 1st one was the more practical which is a anti diching log that can get the tank out of mud when it's stuck, the 2nd reason was as extra armor in all reality it didn't help at all mostly giving the crew the feeling better protection, and at best it would have a chance at defecting a poorly aimed panzerfaust.
This is great. I love the sort of weird and wonderful machines that were used for logging in the real world, and this totally captures the feel of those.
The Timberjack company actually made, back in the day, a functional six-legged walking harvester prototype. I believe it was inferior to the wheeled ones in pretty much every way, especially the speed, so it never became a produced vehicle for the market. You can still find videos of it in action, though. And it's indeed terribly slow.
When you mentioned a saw I thought "wow!!" I could see this with a "swinging saw" for felling trees but could be in a fight with a monster trying to attack the logging crew out on a job somewhere! A swinging saw like the one used below our modern helicopters to trim the right-of-ways along large power transmission lines!!
This is one of my favourite older videos but i honestly couldnt pick a favourite, it was between this because of the detail on the mech or the one of the cowboy with the painted background as i found the painting quite impressive
This is definitely my favorite bideo of yours. It was the girst Insaw, and I was absolutely bewildered by what I saw. I barely knew about modeling kits, kitbashing or anything like that, had just looked up some help on panel lining my gunpla when this beaut showed up and I was in awe. Damn crazy
These videos are so relaxing to watch to wind down from the day. I just wanted to say, how I love how everything looks cobbled together, granted that will happen when using different models and media, but it adds to the story telling. No singular construct looks likes like it was made in a factory. Parts might have been, but the end result feels like the builders were figuring it out as they went.
What I do not understand is how this man paints in all the little nooks and crevices that come from gluing down unpainted figures and greeblies and yet gets such clean lines and fine detail. Truly a master.
Please make a video explaining the rules of your universe, I think it’s very interesting, and want to write something with the rules of your universe, so please, I’d really appreciate that. Also love your work!
I find that when something fails, it still always end up looking good, because you have to add more and more layers to hide whats already done, and layers makes it look richer. Great job as always!
My friend recommended this channel to me because I like Star Wars but now I can’t stop watching every video you have, I have probs binged around 30-40 videos of yours. Your skill and commentary make the video really fun to watch. Keep it up !!
The wild imaginary west is my favorite series, its truly amazing! I feel like it would be awesome to see if maybe there is like a secret mech in development that fights monsters head on and could possibly be made by the Pinkertons in like a sort of workshop far from the town so no one knows
God, these wild imaginary west videos always make me want to write stories in your world. Or to add the mechs and ideas to my own world. I haven't had this amount of sparked inspiration in a while. Man thank you.
I'm really loving the fantastical world your creating. Especially the town, different mechs, the damn monsters that roam this western world. I think a look at the military would be interesting, all we've seen are civilian mechs, and while they are big and intimidating I'd imagine a union mech would tower over. Whether their would be to repel native tribes, protect forts or towns from monster attacks. Hell, I imagine the union could utilize the mechs and have like, walking forts just roaming the countryside. Idk, just rambling. Love what you do man.
It be sick if you made some kind of hunter going through a forest in the rainy night with some huge monster lurking in the shadows. I love these wild imaginary west crafts!
I love your imagination, C! Also, nice post production FX with that motion tracked text. : ) The logging mech came out beautiful. You have great taste.
Hey Boylei! I love your vids , I watch them as soon as they come out , this is amazing . I know it sounds crazy but you actually got me into stopmotion , due to the whole dioramas and clay sculpting junk , I found out what claymation was and found my hobby in lego stopmotion, I just want to say thank you, you made my future career Without knowing it. I hit 10 subs yesterday and it's all thanks to you, thank you for being an amazing person.
Love the colors - with the shading and drybrushing they tie into the "realism" of the world, but still provide good visual interest. Well done as always!
Oh I liked the slanted piece of wood that you added at 1:16. Might be just a tiny bit, but it adds to overall dynamic look of the build. It brings a nice flow to the mech.
I am so glad that you channel is growing, been here since the video "Then vs Now". You deserve all the praise you get! Love the slightly dry humor and the western series and star wars builds are so good. Keep it up! I am enjoying every video!
Whenever I need inspiration or am feeling down I come to your channel as my first choice and I’ve never had to find another channel to give me that satisfaction.😊
You never fail to entertain! Thank you for sharing your skills with us! I actually liked the fact you included the setback, you are truly talented, but it's nice to know you're human as well ;) Thanks again!
Oh gosh! Another one. Just keep them coming, this is so much fun. Looking forward to the builds you do, mainly because you scratch build so much and let your imagination run wild...
Honestly there's something about this wild western universe that makes it scary yet peaceful and with the mechs almost majestic and beautiful. It's Honestly such a great universe.
Here's me imagining model kits I could buy from your weird wild west world. On my coffee table an accompanying artbook with background information, pictures and stuff ,😂
I am absolutely addicted to your videos. I have beem working in small scale miniatures since the early 90s. Your videos have reminded me that when I was feally young my dream job was to make dioramas for museums. I hadn't remembered that for years. You have inspired me and I have bought myself some guitar strings, some tny diamind and some brass mesh and bought some leftover model parts to add to an assortment of found objects I alresdy had to make my bits box. I am currently working on a stempunk miniature version of the neverwas haul, but when that is done I am going to start my own town. I just have to decide what, where and when it will be from. Thank you so much for doing these videos. Someone else said that he found them relaxing and your voice is just as relaxing as you narate. Keep up the great work.
Man I just failed the exam i worked 24/7 for for the last 4 years so you better not stopping doing your videos because I don't planned to lose anything else in my life at short notice
Looks awesome one thing i do for homemade trees is using pva glue and rolling paper towels around wire then letting it dry works pretty well for trees and bushes and very cheap just add whatever kinda leaves you want :)
Another cool wild west mech. When you make the saw-mech to go along with it, maybe you can make a sawmill/lumber camp to match it and your wild west town too.
You could have a couple guys on the ground cutting, and these rad mechs doing the lifting. These turned out so good. Being a millwright, I’m always drawing stuff like this and weird tools etc, so, it’s really cool to see someone make something like this. Badass man. Cheers.
Man, another fine addition to your wild imaginary west. Love how the ropes turned out wrapped around the legs and such a beautiful paint job on the mech. Looking forward to what's next!
Black Armor from the Space Engineers community made your tundra mech. Nothing like the best mech engineer building one of your designs in game! Was awesome to see it in motion.
Pretty creative, love your style, I build mostly cars and I do kit bash them, been building for over 40 years and I dig how you kit bash everything into something it wasn't meant to be, very cool
if you ever want to make your string look more like rope, pull it through some bees wax, its the only way to make scale ships look great! Love this channel and the builds.
That's great! I like the addition of colors. They're muted, but there. And it gives it a more civilian vibe. Just an idea, maybe a smaller follow along, saw mill mech that does the cutting. Half as tall with a single driver and one giant blade.
Being a model builder myself I focus more on farming and mining equipment. But I'm also a Colorado boy it would be cool to see you build a mech that would go well with the old time mining possibly like a drill or something that can move alot of material or aid in protecting the miners from monsters. Keep up the good work my friend!
With all these Mechs there must be a profitable oil industry in the wild imaginary west. Would be amazing to see an oil well or derrick site, maybe a tanker train depot. Unless of course things run on a different oil, come sort of monster hunted for oil.
I’m not really into wild west stuff but this series has been fantastic. Your builds are truly awesome! Plus your comments every now and then make these vids totally entertaining. 😂 and of course fat free! 🤣
Another amazing build. I just love how you can take Any kind of part and turn it into something, a great imagination my friend. Thanks for sharing your work.
Its funny, the tank hull is a sherman tank, historically they put wood on the sides like you did sometimes to counter magnetic tank mines
Like how the germans put that weird paste on their tanks for the same purpose.
I think it also served as more armour so enemies wouldnt be able to destroy the treads as easy
When it came to adding logs to the tanks it was done for 2 reasons 1st one was the more practical which is a anti diching log that can get the tank out of mud when it's stuck, the 2nd reason was as extra armor in all reality it didn't help at all mostly giving the crew the feeling better protection, and at best it would have a chance at defecting a poorly aimed panzerfaust.
@@killianharrah3745 IIRC zimmerit wasn't to separate the magnetic mines from the metal, but to shake them off due to the vibrations of the vehicle.
@@AlbertoDsign that's good to know. Thanks for the information.
Looks great! The base would’ve looked cool with a few cut tree stumps to suggest ongoing logging ops.
That would have been a nice touch. The saw mech should have some on the base.
I imagine the next one with a path of them, that would be nice
Maybe he could make a second diorama that attaches behind this one with another mech that Carry’s logs
This is great. I love the sort of weird and wonderful machines that were used for logging in the real world, and this totally captures the feel of those.
Hello Jago!
What a surprise finding my favourite London rail historian here!
th-cam.com/video/ca-e5MrVbVU/w-d-xo.html
This is a 10/10 crossover my good man
The Timberjack company actually made, back in the day, a functional six-legged walking harvester prototype. I believe it was inferior to the wheeled ones in pretty much every way, especially the speed, so it never became a produced vehicle for the market. You can still find videos of it in action, though. And it's indeed terribly slow.
I love how realistic everything actually looks! Great job man!
When you mentioned a saw I thought "wow!!"
I could see this with a "swinging saw" for felling trees but could be in a fight with a monster trying to attack the logging crew out on a job somewhere!
A swinging saw like the one used below our modern helicopters to trim the right-of-ways along large power transmission lines!!
I love seeing the imaginary wild west expand! The challenge was sooo much fun and all the builds turned out amazing. 🤠
me too it's my favorite craft series he makes xD
Next year you will need 2 gaming tables for all those lil masterpieces!
This is one of my favourite older videos but i honestly couldnt pick a favourite, it was between this because of the detail on the mech or the one of the cowboy with the painted background as i found the painting quite impressive
Hell yeah, great mech Caleb. Wonderful watching this come together with my Sunday coffee.
Love the Wild West theme! Great work, love the community builds too!
This is definitely my favorite bideo of yours. It was the girst Insaw, and I was absolutely bewildered by what I saw. I barely knew about modeling kits, kitbashing or anything like that, had just looked up some help on panel lining my gunpla when this beaut showed up and I was in awe. Damn crazy
idk why other diorama makers dont have my full attention unlike this channel. 10 mins is just *cheffs kiss*
These videos are so relaxing to watch to wind down from the day.

I love how well integrated the driver and the crane operator are in the action of the mech.
I find that when something fails, it still always end up looking good, because you have to add more and more layers to hide whats already done, and layers makes it look richer. Great job as always!
My friend recommended this channel to me because I like Star Wars but now I can’t stop watching every video you have, I have probs binged around 30-40 videos of yours. Your skill and commentary make the video really fun to watch. Keep it up !!
Love the Biggest Mech yet, I call it awesome and amazing. Shout out to the Patreons Mech, looking good!!!
The wild imaginary west is my favorite series, its truly amazing! I feel like it would be awesome to see if maybe there is like a secret mech in development that fights monsters head on and could possibly be made by the Pinkertons in like a sort of workshop far from the town so no one knows

You can see your patrons really get their inspiration while watching your videos.
Very impressive work from all of you.👍🏻
Holy crap, the full set of walkers look so great together at the end! Phenomenal work man, love this series!
I'm really loving the fantastical world your creating. Especially the town, different mechs, the damn monsters that roam this western world.

Idk, just rambling. Love what you do man.
I honestly don't know how he does it. You're simply a god Mr Boylei, another amazing build to the collection.
I like watching your creation so much I became a Patron! It never gets old and I even share it with my students!
It be sick if you made some kind of hunter going through a forest in the rainy night with some huge monster lurking in the shadows. I love these wild imaginary west crafts!
I love your imagination, C! Also, nice post production FX with that motion tracked text. : )
The logging mech came out beautiful. You have great taste.
Nice! I love how you can just add bits here and there and boom! Mech!
Hey Boylei! I love your vids , I watch them as soon as they come out , this is amazing .
I know it sounds crazy but you actually got me into stopmotion , due to the whole dioramas and clay sculpting junk ,
I found out what claymation was and found my hobby in lego stopmotion, I just want to say thank you, you made my future career

I have to say every time your videos end I have a smile on my face they always looks so awesome when they are done. Another Great Build.
It's fascinating how all those odd elements combine to make a cohesive whole model. Good work!
You should make a sunken pirate ship with a kraken. I think that would be dope. Keep up the good work
The "Anybody? No? Dust." caught me off guard. Congratulations, sir.
Whenever I need inspiration or am feeling down I come to your channel as my first choice and I’ve never had to find another channel to give me that satisfaction.😊
I love your work. I had a cool idea it is a six legged walker like an at-te to Hunt monsters in mountain is trying.
You can burn strings with a torch a little so that they look better in scale. But as usual wonderful build, mechs are my favourite.
I really loved the use of extra colours this week! Super cool to see the final shot of this “family” of creations too, keep up the beautiful work mate
Love the comparison at the end of your other builds, you definitely have a wonderful style and standard, great to see you bring them to life!
Your mech builds are so cool!! Can’t wait for more of this series.
You never fail to entertain! Thank you for sharing your skills with us! I actually liked the fact you included the setback, you are truly talented, but it's nice to know you're human as well ;) Thanks again!
The fact that you use your creativity to make the robot legs is cool. I cannot have the same mindset as yours
Finally a new upload.
Getting fed up with hospital shifts.
Your videos always helped me with stress :)
Oh gosh! Another one. Just keep them coming, this is so much fun. Looking forward to the builds you do, mainly because you scratch build so much and let your imagination run wild...
This is some of your best work. The creativity is unreal.
Honestly there's something about this wild western universe that makes it scary yet peaceful and with the mechs almost majestic and beautiful. It's Honestly such a great universe.

Great build as always Boylei.. and I love the Little Britain reference!
All these builds have inspired me to do my own Wild Imaginary West display.
I wish someone would actually make a movie or something of your western universe
So cool
Another cool wild west mech.
When you make the saw-mech to go along with it, maybe you can make a sawmill/lumber camp to match it and your wild west town too.

Man, another fine addition to your wild imaginary west. Love how the ropes turned out wrapped around the legs and such a beautiful paint job on the mech. Looking forward to what's next!
Have you thought about doing a large wild western diorama? I think a landscape with several different things going on would be really cool.
Black Armor from the Space Engineers community made your tundra mech. Nothing like the best mech engineer building one of your designs in game! Was awesome to see it in motion.
I am impressed each and every single time you come up with a new video.
Such a good eye for when to stop and what to add ...
Pretty creative, love your style, I build mostly cars and I do kit bash them, been building for over 40 years and I dig how you kit bash everything into something it wasn't meant to be, very cool
Amazing work mate!
I really relate to the part where you didn't know what you were doing for the base ground! I never know what to do for earthy tones! Great mech!!
Its wild wild west here!
Every time I watch your videos, it always inspires me to build something crazy and steampunk-y
Fantastic video as always Boylei! I'm always amazed by what you can create with all the little bits and bobs and scraps you find.
This guy is always finding himself at the lobby store, love the work!
Thank you for the "Dust" reference - you clearly have a good sens of humor!
if you ever want to make your string look more like rope, pull it through some bees wax, its the only way to make scale ships look great! Love this channel and the builds.
Always enjoy seeing one of your videos in my subs on Sundays. Keep up the great work!
So happy to see another installment in the Wild Imaginary West world!
That's great! I like the addition of colors. They're muted, but there. And it gives it a more civilian vibe. Just an idea, maybe a smaller follow along, saw mill mech that does the cutting. Half as tall with a single driver and one giant blade.
I like that you had the driver's seat separate from the logging controls, it really adds depth.
One of my favorite series! I hope you decide to make this a game or something some day.
I love that watching these videos always gets me in the mood for Red Dead Redemption, love your work, and keep doing what you love!
I love the Wild Imaginary West! Another awesome Mech. Thanks!
You should definetely make a pirate ship being attacked by the kraken I think it would be really cool
I live for your vids man! Thanks for the entertainment and Inspirations!
i have bin watching you for over a year and you never fail 😁😁😁😄😄😄
Wow! Amazing job again! I love your wild West concept!!🤩👏👏👏
Love the video. The mech looks great! Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦
this is one of the best dioramas I have ever seen
Love the red cab. Makes it look more real somehow.
Great video man, keep up the fantastic work. I absolutely adore these wild west mechs.
You always use your materials very creatively. I enjoyed watching as usual.
Man!! Bittersweet.. It’s Boylei Hobby day…. but now Ive watched it…😖 Let the countdown begin! Great job man!!
Another really cool addition to your growing collection. Looking forward to seeing the smaller Saw Mech that would accompany this Logging Mech.
I'm really enjoying this wild-west mech series
Being a model builder myself I focus more on farming and mining equipment. But I'm also a Colorado boy it would be cool to see you build a mech that would go well with the old time mining possibly like a drill or something that can move alot of material or aid in protecting the miners from monsters.

Stunning result and a beautifully edited video, as usual. Shout out to the Little Britain 'dust' reference haha
This world just keeps getting better and better
I’m not really into wild west stuff but this series has been fantastic. Your builds are truly awesome! Plus your comments every now and then make these vids totally entertaining. 😂 and of course fat free! 🤣
Another amazing build. I just love how you can take Any kind of part and turn it into something, a great imagination my friend. Thanks for sharing your work.
Great as always! I think some tree stumps on the base would have been a great environmental storytelling element
I'm always impressed by the lack of tooling marks and glue joints in your builds, everything. Always look so seamless.
Was that an off hand little Britten reference in there? Maybe I'm over thinking it. Dust anybody dust!
