Trapdoor Spider's Mine

**Land Monsters:** There's a Monster Under the Porch

 **Land Monsters:** These Monster Hunters Don’t Stand a Chance

This diorama was built by Caleb in September of 2022.

It primarily revolves around the trapdoor spider and was inspired by the real life Ctenizidae family of spiders

## In-Universe Information

It is not explained how this particular spider came to be in the mine. It is probable that it was passing by on the surface and found the adit leading into the mine, choosing to make it's home in the pit.

On an unknown date, two miners and their donkey entered the mine. It is implied that the miners at least met their end at the hands of the spider, although it is likely the donkey was also killed. It is likely that this event occurred prior to the invention of forestalls.

## Appearances

* Trapdoor Spider Ambushes Unsuspecting Miners
* Hidden Cavern Reveals Horrifying Monster
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* The miners and the donkey used in this set are part of the California Miners box set used in the previous Monster Mines set.
* Although the spider featured is a trap door spider, it would not belong to the Ctenizidae family due to it's size. Rather it would be listed as a part of a Megarachne family
	+ Interestingly only one Megarchne species exists at all, known as *Megarachne servinei.* However, unlike the one featured in the video it was far smaller, coming in at only 2ft (21in specifically) or 54cm (by comparison to the one in the video)
* Interestingly, the model spider used, the Phase Spider, behaves similarly to a trapdoor spider in *Dungeons and Dragons*. It lives in the Ethereal Plane and quickly jumps out into the Material Plane at points it expects people to be in. It then captures them and takes them back to the Ethereal Plane.
	+ It is unlikely that Caleb knew this however, as he says "...I'm going to be converting into one of the worst spiders ever invented."
Palace Assault

This diorama was built by Caleb in February of 2023.

Caleb was inspired to make this diorama after seeing the scene it depicts in *RRR*.

Stagecoach Pursuit

This diorama was built by Caleb in June of 2021.

Nothing seems to have been particularly inspiring for Caleb for this build. He may have simply come across the Stagecoach box set or had it suggested.

## Appearances

* Stage Coach + Bison Monster | Wild Imaginary West
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* The incomplete Prairie Wanderer produced by accident in this video would go on to inspire the diorama for "There's a Monster Under the Porch."
* It was stated that this diorama took place in the plains and wasn't so much desert. This would put it the following states: Montana, North/South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, or Texas.
* Since the stagecoach does not have a forestall it can be assumed that by this point in time, they either; have not been invented yet, or they are not yet an affordable commodity.
* This was the first video to feature a genuine monster and additionally introduced them to the Wild Imaginary West.
Statue of Liberty vs T-Rex

This diorama was built by Caleb in March of 2023.

Calodan Administration Building

This diorama was built by Caleb in December of 2020.

It was inspired by the 5th episode of Season 2 of *The Mandalorian*.

## In-Universe Information

Around 9 ABY Ahsoka Tano, seeking answers regarding Grand Admiral Thrawn, approached Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth. Morgan refused to give that information to Ahsoka and promised the people of Calodan would suffer.

Later after convening with Din Djarin, Ahsoka returned and battled Elsbeth because of her torture and execution of Calodan citizens.

## Appearances

* Ahsoka vs. The Magistrate | Mandalorian S2 - Episode 5

## Trivia

* This diorama was originally planned to be at a larger scale so Ahsoka's lightsabers could be lit. However, due to complications involving the LEDs, this forced Caleb to reconsider, and he chose to create the diorama at it's current scale.
Traveling Cowboy

This diorama was built by Caleb in November of 2022.

There was no inspiration for this diorama. Caleb simply found a cowboy model kit he felt like working on.

## In-Universe Information

At some point a man travelled on cyborg horseback through Monument Valley.

## Appearances

* How to Survive a Wild Imaginary West
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

## Trivia

* This video is the first to establish what forestalls do.
	+ They are a multipurpose device that allows one to generate power, make radio broadcasts, and most importantly deter monsters.
* While the box set establishes that the cowboy in question is named Jim Jameson, Caleb never refers to him as such. It is therefore likely that this man is not Jim Jameson
* This video was originally titled "How to Survive the Wild Imaginary West"
	+ It was later changed to "Wild Imaginary West"
	+ It was then changed to "How Does the Average Joe Survive the Wild West?" and changed back to the original title almost verbatim.
San Juan Mountain Railroad

The same diorama featuring the removable slide rock bolter

This diorama was built by Caleb in July of 2023.

It was somewhat made as a sequel to the original diorama.

## In-Universe Information

At some point, a slide rock bolter came to call a mountain in the San Juan Range, home before the appearance of humans in the area.

With the Railroad Companies opposed to the use of Forestalls, this opened up their trains to attack from the megafauna west of the Mississippi. As a result the Railroad Companies instead invested in weaponry that could brutalize enemies and push through the threat rather than abate it. At some point after designing a weaponized steam engine, the Railroad Companies decided to tunnel through the San Juan Mountain Range in a race to the West Coast.

Around the same time, tourists to the area, traveling over the mountain alerted the slide rock bolter setting in motion their deaths.

## Appearances

* Customizing My HO Scale Model Train (Train only)
* Building a Realistic Imaginary Mountain Model Railroad
* Making a Legendary Mountain Monster that Eats Tourists | Diorama

## Trivia

### **Mountain and Steam Engine**

* The video for this diorama was technically split into two segments: One that focused only on the train, and the other focusing on the diorama as a whole.
* Caleb launched his merch store officially following this video, the first line being T-shirts focused on the various mechs.
* The original thumbnail for the first video featured only the train, this was changed later once the completed build was showcased.
* This video re-establishes the Railroad Companies disdain for forestall technology. It also showcases their workaround for lacking them.
	+ This workaround has proven to be still less effective, as canyons, tunnels, and sharp turns restrict the effective firing range of the trains' weaponry.
		- Tunneling is especially dangerous since any number of things can be unearthed.
* The train-only video was originally titled "Customizing My New Model Train."
	+ The full video was originally titled "Building a Realistic Imaginary Mountain Railroad."
	+ The full video was then titled "Building a Realistic Mountain Model Railroad"

### **Slide Rock Bolter Additions**

* The slide rock bolter is one of two mythological creatures to be unaltered, the other being the Golden Bear.
* The slide rock bolter was added as a removable feature later in response to claims that the diorama was not imaginary enough.
* Caleb stated the steam engine is weaponized thanks to the slide rock bolter. It is unconfirmed if the Railroad Companies knew it was there or if they simply wanted some insurance in the event of an attack.
* During the addition of the slide rock bolter, Caleb introduced his newest tool: The Clay Roller.
Death Racer

## Trivia

* This video revealed that Caleb knew Korean.

This diorama was built by Caleb in July of 2023.

This diorama was inspired by the internet meme crossover of *Barbie* and *Oppenheimer*.

## Trivia

* This is the first video to feature some kind of filter editing.
* This video was originally titled "Making a Barbenheimer Nuke in a Jar."
Jawa Starship

This diorama was built by Caleb in March of 2021.

The idea for this diorama came to Caleb after multiple requests for an original ship for the Star Wars universe.

## In-Universe Information

At some point a few Jawas began constructing a starship, at this time it featured a Sandcrawler like design, one large engine, a sail on top, a suction tube at the front, and non-retractable landing gear.

Due to weak thrust capability, the ship was not space-capable, however, this issue was solved when the Jawas happened upon a downed Y-Wing. Salvaging the parts, they were now space-capable.

At some unknown point in the galaxy's history, the Jawas landed at an outpost and unsuccessfully attempted to sell astromech droids to Tim.

## Appearances

* Who Flies This Ship? | Creating A Concept Ship Model for Star Wars

## Trivia

* This was the first video on the channel to feature kitbashing.
* Most *Star Wars* ships have either retractable landing gear or no landing gear at all, making this a truly unique ship.
	+ This ship is further made unique in that most ships in *Star Wars* are not clumpships.
* This video is the first on the channel to feature significant lore.
	+ For this reason, this video can be seen as a turning point in the way videos were structured on the channel.
* The landing platform in this video was previously used in U-Wing + Creative Display Stand. In the original diorama, it was intended to be used simply as a display stand and not part of the actual diorama itself.
* This is the first video to feature guitar strings as cables and wires. Guitar strings would go on to be a recurring material in Caleb's dioramas.
* This was the first video in which the Patreons were thanked. This would not become a regular feature of Caleb's videos until Stage Coach + Bison Monster | Wild Imaginary West.
Wyatt

Wyatt was an inhabitant of the Western Town for a time before eventually becoming a bandit.

## In-Universe Information

At some point Wyatt moved to, or was born in, the Western Town and lived there for an unknown period of time. Over that time he became well known in the town enough that other residents eventually spoke of him post mortem.

Wyatt eventually went on to work at the town's lumber mill where he worked for some amount of time before leaving town. He and two acquaintances went searching in a canyon for lost riches. It was here that Wyatt dropped a bar of gold whilst making his exit and greedily went back for it. It was then that a giant bearded dragon arrived and ate Wyatt before he could escape.

Some time after his death, the lumber millers spoke on his death, many seemed to be fond of Wyatt but a few thought he deserved his fate and even mocked his death.

## Trivia

* Wyatt's death was foreshadowed before he made his actual debut appearance in the following video.
* Wyatt is the first named character in the Wild Imaginary West universe to appear without holding a lantern.
	+ Wyatt is also both the first named character in that universe *and* on the channel to have died.
Dome's Edge

This diorama was built by Caleb in October of 2020.

Caleb had the idea to make this diorama due to his interest in *The Truman Show.*

## In-Universe Information

## Appearances

* Realistic Lightsaber DIY | General Grievous Diorama
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

## Trivia

* The clone that appears in this diorama is actually a stormtrooper model with a swapped out head. This was due to the high demand and low supply for the clone trooper model at the time.
* This was the final diorama to feature a lightsaber.
Remnant Gulch

Remnant Gulch is a location in Caleb's Wild Imaginary West

## In-Universe Information

Remnant Gulch is a location that often experiences flash flooding. As a result of this, fossils are often unearthed leading to collectors to seek them out. Due to this, there is some conflict between trophy hunters and legitimate paleontologists.

At some point, likely around the 1870s after one such flood, two separate mercenary armies; The Yellow Jackets and the Ridgeway Riders were hired by unknown contractors to secure a T-Rex site. This led to a conflict on the site grounds for control of it. It is unknown who arrived first and is thusly the defending party.

Later still, possibly around 10-20 years later, a triceratops skeleton was uncovered. While a mercenary party was hired, no conflict was known to occur at this particular site.

## Appearances

* Two Armies Fight Over Dinosaur Bones
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* Remnant Gulch was named by Caleb using a combination of two names put forth by Patreons Petty\_N\_Green and Michael Sprenger. Who named the area "Remnant Valley" and "Lawless Hollow or Lonesome Gulch" respectively.
* Given America's T-Rex fossil deposits, Remnant Gulch would be somewhere in Montana or northwestern South Dakota. It is likely in Montana, as more fossils are found there than in South Dakota.
	+ Triceratops fossils can also be found in this area, further reinforcing the idea that Remnant Gulch is in one of these states.
The Dead Marshes

This diorama was built by Caleb in December of 2021.

Caleb had the idea to create this diorama in celebration of the *Lord of the Rings* movies turning 20 years old.

## In-Universe Information

Many individuals had entered the Dead Marshes but fell victim to the enchanting lights that deceived travelers into accidentally drowning.

On March 1st, 3019, Frodo, Sam and Gollum entered the Dead Marshes and Frodo became entranced by the lights. Almost drowning, Sam pulled Frodo out of it before he joined the dead.

## Appearances

* The Dead Marshes | LOTR Epoxy Resin Diorama

## Trivia

* This was the first Lord of the Rings diorama made since the initial one almost two years prior.
	+ As a result this was also the first and only *Lord of the Rings* diorama of 2021.
* This video was originally titled "Don't Follow The Lights | LOTR Epoxy Resin Diorama"
AT-ST Raider

This diorama was built by Caleb in January of 2021.

It was inspired by the 4th episode of Season 1 of *The Mandalorian*.

## In-Universe Information

Cara and Din are pursued through the forests of Sorgan at night by a Raider AT-ST.

## Trivia

* This diorama was the first Star Wars diorama of 2021.
* This is the only video since the introduction of the outro, in which Caleb does not end the construction process with "And I called it good."
* While it was possibly intentional, Caleb did not use Black 3.0 to paint the sides of the cork as he typically would when finishing a diorama.
Tim

Tim was a outpost manager who lived sometime during either The Republic or Imperial Era.

## In-Universe Information

At some point in the Galaxy's history Tim came to own an outpost.

After an unknown amount of time, Jawas landed their ship at Tim's outpost and attempted to sell some of their faulty droids to him. Tim declined ownership of any new droids.
Bespin Carbon-freezing Chamber

This diorama was built by Caleb in January of 2021.

The idea for the diorama comes from *Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.*

## In-Universe Information

It is not clear at what point in the chronology this particular version of the freezing-chamber is in.

It may or may not yet have been used to freeze Han Solo in carbonite for his delivery to Jabba the Hutt.

## Appearances

* Freezing Chamber in a Jar | Tiny Diorama Build

## Trivia

* This diorama could be won in a 2021 giveaway. Anyone who commented and was subscribed to the channel had the potential to win it.
	+ It was awarded to Jimmy Champagne for his comment: *"Came out great!!"*
Survival Shelter

* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

## Trivia

* This was the first diorama of 2022.
* The smoke effect achieved was made using incense for display purposes only.
* Cyprien himself saw and commented on the video. He received this diorama as a gift some time later.
* This video was originally titled "How To Make a Survival Shelter …for Ants"
Pinkerton HQ

This diorama was built by Caleb in April of 2022.

There didn't seem to be any inspiration for the building going in, rather that Caleb simply wanted another corner building. Towards the end he decided to add the Pinkertons logo, having previously forgotten about them.

## In-Universe Information

At some point, the Pinkertons came into town and set up a temporary base of operations in a corner store. However they were not evicted within a reasonable time and the Pinkertons took the building over, converting it into a permanent base of operations in the county.

Since then the Pinkertons have overstepped their authority in town meetings, intervening in the way the town is ran to meet their own interests.

## Appearances

* My Western Town | Building 6
* My Western Town | Building 7
* My Western Town | Building 8
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* My Western Town | Building 9
* My Western Town | Building 10

## Trivia

* Interestingly, the choice word "county" establishes that the town is in an established territory belonging directly to the United States. This means the town's founding date is more readily knowable. This was narrowed down further with the Town Lumber Mill diorama.
	+ The earliest it could be established was in 1852, with the first counties established in New Mexico
	+ Otherwise the earliest possible date it could've been established would be in 1861, when Colorado first created it's counties.
		- It is possible albeit highly unlikely that the town could be situated in Deseret (later Utah) or Oregon. If so it would've been established as early as 1842 and 1843 respectively.
* This video marks the second time the Pinkertons appear in the Wild Imaginary West.
Giant Anaconda's Habitat

This diorama was built by Caleb in December of 2023.

Caleb seems to have simply wanted to add to the river monsters series for this diorama.

## In-Universe Information

While on a cargo delivery to Mobile, Alabama, the captain got drunk and he failed to stop in Mobile Bay, continuing on to New Orleans. He pulled into a side channel on the Mississippi River, knowing it to be too far from giant alligators and too shallow for giant catfish, and set down anchor for the night.

Later that night, the captain went down to the water's edge whilst drinking and was quietly eaten by the giant anaconda that was lurking in the water.

## Appearances

* Giant Anaconda Sneaks Up on Unsuspecting Riverboat Captain

## Trivia

* While not the first video to feature it, this was the first video with an entirely new diorama that utilized the Wild Imaginary West title card.
* This video established that forestall technology is actually illegal to possess and use.
* Caleb reuses the same technique to create duckweed that he used in "Swamp Tour Gone Wrong | Resin Diorama."
* The model boat used here is a larger version of the same boat used in "Giant Alligator + Steamboat Diorama | Epoxy Resin Art" (albeit by different model companies.)
	+ These boats in-universe are not considered the same boat, nor are either of them assumed to be the *Southern Belle*.
* The description given would place the Captain's selected channel somewhere around Lake Borgne.
	+ It could be closer to Plaquemine's Parish, however this would put the boat further from New Orleans.
	+ It is mentioned that the Captain set down "too close to the mouth of the Mississippi." The only viable location otherwise would be within New Orleans on the Mississippi River itself, counter to the described swamps the captain settled in.
		- It is likely then, that the Captain's choice of channel and possibly the swamps as well, do not exist in our universe.
	+ Regardless, this video establishes that the Giant Anaconda is the Eastern-most megafauna.
		- This ignores the Skunk Ape, which was retconned out of canon in this video.
Titan Jackalope

Titan Jackalopes are a species of giant jackelope.

## In-Universe Information

Titan jackelopes are large jackelope creatures. They are inherently calm creatures but have a tendency to defend or assist smaller jackelopes.

At some point a titan jackelope assisted a swarm of jackelope, who were attempting to break into a fort during a feeding frenzy.

## Trivia

* Titan jackelopes are inherently calm unless provoked or attempting to assist smaller jackelopes.
Knobby White Ice Spider's Cave

**Monsters:** How to Make a Star Wars Jungle Attack Diorama

**Monsters:** Krayt Dragon Diorama | Mandalorian S2 - Episode 1

This diorama was built by Caleb in November of 2020.

It was inspired by the 2nd episode of Season 2 of *The Mandalorian*.

## In-Universe Information

In 9 ABY, the *Razor Crest* fell into a Knobby White Ice Spider's Nest. While making repairs, Grogu feasted on a spider from one of the brood, causing a domino effect of hatching the brood and waking the brood mother. As a result of these actions, the *Razor Crest* was forced down after beginning it's ascent and attacked by the brood.

## Appearances

* Giant Spider | Mandalorian S2 - Episode 2
Giant Spider's Mine

**Land Monsters:** Slow but Terrifying Monster Diorama

This diorama was created by Caleb in October of 2023.

Caleb wanted to add a spider that hunted similarly to a Bolas spider to the Wild Imaginary West.

## In-Universe Information

While exploring an abandoned mine, a group of treasure hunters spotted a barrel and went to loot it. Unknowingly, one stepped in a spider's bolas and was pulled up to his death.

## Appearances

* Nightmare Fuel Spider Sets Trap for Miners

## Trivia

* Whilst Caleb hinted at a dislike of spiders in "Trapdoor Spider Ambushes Unsuspecting Miners," it wasn't until this video that he confessed he had archnaphobia.
* While Caleb mentions the spider is *not* a bolas spider, he is technically wrong as a bolas spider is considered to be any spider who hunts using the method viewed here.
	+ However, like all megafauna, this spider would not be considered a subspecies of the orb-weaver spider family since it is a type of megarchne.
* This is the first Monster Mines diorama that does *not* feature miners of any kind.
* One of the poll options for September/October's monthly art challenge was "Monsters in Ambush." It is possible that Caleb wanted that option to win and when it did not, simply decided to make a diorama of it anyways, albeit not for the art challenge.
Giant Deep Sea Dragonfish's Habitat

Caleb's original diorama with the unfortunate microbubble mistake

This diorama was created by Caleb in October of 2023.

## In-Universe Information

* The Bell Diving suit worn by Hans here is a mix of two suits: The classic surface pumped suit by Charles Anthony and John Deane, combined with the more famous Mark V Helmet by Siebe Gorman.
	+ The surface pumped suit was developed in the early 1800s making it historically accurate, whilst the helmet is not, being developed later during World War II.
* This is the first time two dioramas were developed for the same video. Albeit only due to a mistake.
* The second diorama could be won in a 2023 random giveaway, anyone who was subscribed and commented could win it.
	+ This was the first giveaway on Boylei Hobby Time since "Getting an Unwanted Guest for Christmas" nearly two years prior.
	+ This is the largest giveaway diorama to date and the only one not to be either a book nook or housed in a display case.
	+ The diorama was awarded to nathancollier6182 for his comment: *"Watching a professional hit a snag with the resin pour inspires me to push on! Another great work of art. Thanks, Boylei!"*

Town Saloon

This diorama was built by Caleb in June of 2021.

Caleb's idea for this came primarily from wanting to expand the world of the Wild Imaginary West. He chose to start his town with a Wild West staple: A Saloon.

## In-Universe Information

The Saloon was the first building constructed in the town. At one point the owner hired men to come and either make repairs or additions to a point on the roof.

## Appearances

* My Western Town | Building 8
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

* Although unintentional, this is the first building in the Wild Imaginary West to have a forestall.
Town Sherriff's Office

This diorama was built by Caleb in July of 2021.

The idea came simply from Caleb wanting to continue working on the town.

## In-Universe Information

The Sherriff's Office came after the Saloon was constructed. A cage for large monsters was also included.

Given that the monster cage has been used a number of times, it is clear that the town has been there for at least a little while.

After an unknown period of time the cage was filled with it's current occupant, a sasquatch.

## Appearances

* My Western Town | Building 2
* My Western Town | Building 3
* My Western Town | Building 4

* My Western Town | Building 6
* My Western Town | Building 7
* My Western Town | Building 8
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* My Western Town | Building 9

## Trivia

* The cage as a whole had not been glued to the diorama and was removable. This would be important later in the "New Addition to My Wild Western Town!" diorama, where a monster was finally added to the diorama.
* The cage is designed for monsters and monsters only. No human prisoners are kept in the cage.
* Eyeballing the ground deformation in front of the cage, it is likely that about two large beasts were dragged into the cage previously. It is unlikely any insectoids were put in there, as the ground deformation would appear more as scratches.
Snoopy vs the Red Baron

This diorama was built by Caleb in September of 2023.

Caleb was inspired to make this diorama after seeing a *Peanuts* advertisement at the store, combined with recalling his work on a bi-plane model.

This diorama was mainly inspired by Instagram user: @monsterpartywars.

## In-Universe Information

At some point before meeting Jyn Erso, Cassian and K-2SO landed here for unknown reasons.

## Trivia

* This diorama was a Caleb take on what was originally @monsterpartywars' diorama
* Since this was a combination of both a pre-made model U-Wing and a display stand, the actual mountaintop landing pad can hold small 1:144 scale ships.

Aftermath of Saw Gerrera's Assault

This diorama was built by Caleb in February of 2021.

The idea for this build was inspired by the scene in *Star Wars: Rogue One*, in which an Imperial convoy is ambushed and it's cargo looted. This build depicts the aftermath of that scene rather than the scene itself.

## In-Universe Information

In 0 BBY, Saw Guerra's men successfully assaulted an Imperial convoy carrying kyber crystals.

Reinforcements arrived too late to the scene of the crime.

## Trivia

	+ Whilst Caleb had previously mentioned having a brother, this was the first indication that he had more than one.
Crystal Mill

The mouse's damage showcased by Caleb

This diorama was built by Caleb in October of 2021.

This diorama was inspired by a real world mill built in Crystal, Colorado. Like that mill, this fictional one is also built in Crystal, Colorado.

## In-Universe Information

At some point in time, residents of Crystal, Colorado built this mill. This one differs from it's real world counterpart in that the real world counterpart produced compressed air, whilst this one produces electricity.

## Appearances

* Crystal Mill + Resin Waterfall | Wild Imaginary West

* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

	+ This is seen again when the diorama is presented during the end credits of "They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama"
* This video was originally titled "Crystal Mill + Resin Waterfall | Wild Imaginary West"
Giant Ground Sloth's Habitat

Caleb had the idea to create this diorama when he found the model kit in the clearance bin at Walmart.

## In-Universe Information

While out and about a man and his horse crossed paths with a species of Giant Ground Sloth. Due to it's slow speed it was not regarded as a threat by the man or the horse and they went about their lives as if it wasn't even there.

## Trivia

* The man is given a yellow hat, this is a reference to "The Man in the Yellow Hat" from *Curious George*.
* While unconfirmed, and likely just due to the nature of the reference, it's entirely possible the man in the diorama is a member of the Yellow Jackets.
* The horse in this diorama is equipped with the smallest forestall in the series to date.
* This video was previously titled "Slow but Terrifying Animal of the Wild West Diorama"
Cliff Palace

This diorama was created by Caleb in October of 2023.

Whilst traveling around Colorado with his wife, Caleb visited the Cliff Palace in the Mesa Verde National Park. This inspired Caleb to create a diorama of it.
