Rocky Mountain Geode

This diorama was built by Caleb in July of 2022.

It was inspired by a comment made by Jeremiah Gonzalez, a friend of Caleb's. He suggested that real crystals or geodes be used for a diorama.

## In-Universe Information

Beau Jo and two accomplices of his went mining in the Rocky Mountains. After an unknown period of time mining, the three stumbled across a massive geode that had cracked, leaving half of it exposed.

## Appearances

* Using Real Amethyst in Miniature Art
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* Geodes form crystals when water gets trapped inside a rock, and leaves materials behind when the water evaporates. That being said, it is not possible to stumble across half a geode unless it broke. Given that the geode is imbedded in the cave, it is unlikely this scenario would play out.
	+ It should be noted however, that the geode may only be partially embedded and the missing chunk collapsed into an unseen pit just outside the diorama.
* While not the first diorama to take place *inside* the Rocky Mountains, it is the only one that does not feature any megafauna.
	+ As of "Building a Realistic Imaginary Mountain Model Railroad," it is no longer the only diorama that takes place in the Rocky Mountain region that does not feature a megafauna. It does however retain itself as the only Rocky Mountain mine without megafauna.
		- This is no longer *technically* true with the addition of a removable slide rock bolter to the aforementioned diorama.
* The title of this video was originally "These Miners Got Rich Quick."
	+ It was then changed to "Using Real Amethyst to Make a Mini Crystal Cave Diorama"
	+ It was then changed to "Using Real Amethyst in Art | Gem Cave Diorama"
Airboat Swamp Tour

This diorama was built by Caleb in June of 2023.

Caleb created this diorama in response to the time he spent with Studson Studio, CC Minis, Bill Making Stuff, Craftastrophe, TheCrafsMan.

## In-Universe Information

At some point a man was born in Louisiana, and grew up to become an airboat guide through the swamps.

In June of 2023 Studson Studio, CC Minis, Bill Making Stuff, and Boylei all met up for fried chicken dinner. Bill was mocked by their pirate server but this was ignored since the fried chicken was good.

After dinner, the four of them returned to Bill's house and a raging storm ensued.

The following morning, the four of them went on to eat French toast and beignets. They walked off their meal afterwards by walking around the city, watching watercraft, and listening to live Jazz performances.

The next day they set out to find T-Nu's house. They hired the guide to help them cross the swamps, choosing specifically the budget option. Due to this decision, the boat's engine shut off and came to a halt in the middle of the swamp due to the actions of a nutria rat. While working on the engine a group of alligators, including one known to the guide as Fred, approached the boat. This prompted the guide to hand Bill a bag of marshmallows to appease the alligators. Bill lost this bag as well as his hand when he reached in to retrieve it. The guide plunged into the water to retrieve Bill's hand but was presumably eaten by Fred as a result.

Having lost the guide, the group tried to remember how to get moving. The engine had fortunately been repaired prior to the guide's unceremonious death, the four eventually remembered the engine was a lawnmower stuck to a kiddie pool and got the airboat moving again.

Arriving safely elsewhere, the four of them got out and headed into Whole Foods to avoid appearing empty handed when they got to T-Nu's place. It was here they encountered the guide who had survived the encounter with Fred and the alligators by being saved by raccoons.

## Trivia

* This video contains the most extensive lore on Boylei Hobby Time.
* Their pirate server had a fondness for Applewood.
* Nutria rats are also known as coypu rats. They resemble beavers.
* The seats of the airboat were taken from a rival high school.
* The guide has never seen a Skunk Ape or Rougarou. This caused Boylei to become skeptical of the guide's validity.
* Robots are well known to have poor grips due to having no fingerprints.
* This video was originally titled "Swamp Tour Gone Wrong."

At some point either before or after obtaining a forestall, Leo spoke with native Americans and learned how they had survived all this time despite the technology gap.

At some point Leo traveled down into a spacious cavern containing an octopus. It is suggested that Leo was aware of this danger and tread carefully.

* 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.
* Paleontology started to pick up in the mid to late 1800s, putting this event somewhere around or after about 1870.
* Given America's T-Rex fossil deposits, Remnant Gulch (and by extension this diorama) would be somewhere in Montana or northwestern South Dakota. It is likely in Montana, as more fossils are found there than in South Dakota
* This is the first video to feature new factions since the introduction of the Pinkertons in the premier video: Wild Imaginary West | Mine Diorama.
Worlds Collide Battlefield

This diorama was built by Caleb in July of 2022.

This diorama was created because Caleb was impatient in opening the miniature sets for their independent dioramas.

## In-Universe Information

## Appearances

* Pirate Ships Battle on the High Seas
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

## Trivia

* It is later established that ghost ships use ghost wind and that is why the wind fills the sails differently.
* Whilst the "phalanges disguised as cannons" are likely like that because it is a model, this was a real move employed in the real world.
	+ This trick was usually used by sailors sailing under His/Her Majesty's flag however, whilst pirates typically disguised the number of cannons they had. The former making themselves look scarier, whilst the latter made themselves look more vulnerable.
* The tin-foil water effect was picked up from Scale-a-ton.
Coniferous Forest Hill

Grand Prismatic Pool

This diorama was built by Caleb in February of 2023.

The idea for this build came about as a result of the monthly art challenge called: "Natural Wonders." The exact location was chosen to be somewhat of a sequel to the Morning Glory Pool diorama.

## Appearances

* There’s an Epoxy Resin Lake in this Painting

## Trivia

* Despite being something of a sequel to the Morning Glory Pool, it does not seem to take place in the Wild Imaginary West.

Tavern Battle

This diorama was created by Caleb in November of 2023.

Caleb created this diorama in response to receiving a Tavern model from Chickens Tabletop Crafting as part of a collab.

## In-Universe Information

At some point an individual opened a tavern in an area near a mill and a store. They sold both potions and small plates and presumably various types of alcohol. This combination of offered goods was quite popular with the local heroes causing the tavern to explode in popularity.

At a much later time, well after the tavern had become a success, a gargantuan green dragon moved into the nearby area. It was particularly hateful of merriment and due to the tavern's success and the rowdy nature of the patrons, it sought the tavern's destruction. Fortunately enough heroes had gathered there that day and evened the odds of the battle. During this time a particularly greedy individual stole and ran off with the heroes' goods and items while they were outside defending the tavern.

## Appearances

* Defend the Tavern! | Realistic Dragon Attack Diorama

## Trivia

* This is the first Fantasy diorama to feature a dragon in flight.
* This is the first collab video since "My Western Town | Building 8," over a year prior.
* The greedy individual is known to occupy space, order nothing and use the restroom whilst seizing advantage of the complimentary scrolls.
	+ This person has been doing this for some time that the tavern owner has come to pity him.
* This video was originally titled "Heroes Defend their Tavern from a Dragon | Medieval Fantasy Diorama"
Gianna

Gianna was a hero that lived in the Fantasy Universe.

## In-Universe Information

At some point Gianna learned to slay dragons. Due to her class it is unknown whether or not she had formal training or was trained in the field.

Either before, around, or after learning to slay dragons, Gianna met Lucas. It is unknown how much time they spent with each other before courting one another.

One day, when Lucas attempted to take Gianna to a favored spot of theirs, Gianna and Lucas encountered, engaged with, and slew a Gold Dragon.
Bridge of Khazad-dûm

This diorama was built by Caleb in September of 2022.

Caleb had the idea to make this diorama in response to the monthly art challenge: "Bridges."

## In-Universe Information

The Fellowship of the Ring first arrived at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm in January of 3019. Pursued by orcs and Durin's Bane, Gandalf stopped on the bridge to ensure that neither the Balrog nor the orcs could continue pursuing them.

## Appearances

* Flaming Demon Attacks Old Man on Bridge
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

## Trivia

* This was Caleb's second attempt at a Balrog diorama. The first was unfortunately removed due to overwhelming negative criticism at the time.
* Like the previous *Lord of the Rings* diorama, this was the first one made in a year.
	+ As a result this diorama is the first and only *Lord of the Rings* diorama made in 2022.
* This video was originally titled "How to Make a Lord of the Rings Diorama"
Town Lumber Mill

This diorama was built by Caleb in September of 2023.

This video was made as part of a three person collab between Boylei Hobby Time, Bill Making Stuff, and gameyy builds. The exact idea was inspired by the Lumber Mech.

## In-Universe Information

Loggers in the area frequent the mill to off-load their supply. It is unknown when the mill was constructed or by whom.

At some point, loggers that had moved into the area began the use of the mill, whether by starting it up themselves or making use of a pre-existing mill.

Once the mill had been established, it became a highly competitive industry in the town, being highly sought after for it's relative safety compared to the rest of the Western United States.

At some point a man from the town by the name of Wyatt left the area, and in a mission to collect on a crashed wagon, was eaten.

## Trivia

* This video was originally titled "New Addition to My Custom Wild Western Town!"
* The Lumber Mech was confirmed to be working in the Rocky Mountain area. Given the environment of the Western town, this would place it most likely in Colorado or New Mexico.
* Caleb makes a reference to his "Post-apocalyptic street sweeper" referring to his 2022 collab.
* The Mill's "log-hoist and trolley" is more or less realistic but not in the combination it's used in.
	+ The hoist and trolley closely resemble a hydraulic gantry crane. This mill predates it's real-world counterpart's first creation, which was in 1963.
	+ Sawmills typically use gantry cranes for loading transports to move logs from the store-yard to the processing facility, where the logs are loaded from the conveyor's side directly onto the conveyor. In which the gantry crane is not directly responsible for loading logs onto the conveyor.
* Caleb's checklist notes he's completed 159 different dioramas. At the time, Boylei Hobby Time only featured 147 (including The Old Man and the Sea.) In the "Flaming Demon Attacks Old Man on Bridge" diorama, Caleb mentions his removed video which would put the known dioramas at 148.
	+ It's possible that the subsequent diorama was also included in the checklist bringing it up to 149. Leaving 10 remaining unknown dioramas.
Podracer

This diorama was built by Caleb in May of 2021.

This was a collaborative build concept between Caleb, Studson Studio, Eric's Hobby Workshop, Bill Making Stuff, and Scratch Bashing.

## In-Universe Information

At some point during Jabba the Hutt's reign, two men in astronaut suits entered their podracer into the podracing competition.

The results of the race are not known.

## Appearances

* Custom Podracer With Realistic Lighting Effects | Star Wars Collaboration

## Trivia

* The astronauts used in this diorama are the same ones used from the Wild Imaginary West | Mine Diorama.
* This was the very first collab to be featured on Boylei Hobby Time.
Rocky Mountain Spider Mine

**Land Monsters:** Getting an Unwanted Guest for Christmas

 **Land Monsters:** Wild Western Monster Hunt | The Golden Bear

This diorama was built by Caleb in December of 2021.

There was no particular inspiration for this diorama. It was mainly created to use up the California Miners set Caleb still had.

## In-Universe Information

At some point, miners from California travelled to the Rocky Mountains, likely somewhere in Colorado and began mining.

At some point either a spider found it's way into the mine or it's lair was unearthed. In either scenario, it proceeded to attack the miners, although the death count is not confirmed.

## Appearances

* Spooky Gold Mine With An Unwelcome Guest
* Hidden Cavern Reveals Horrifying Monster
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* This diorama reused the California gold miners set from the Wild Imaginary West premier video.
* Luke Towan's use of press-fit support beams in his video (An underground gold mine – Realistic Scenery Volume 9) inspired Caleb to do the same in this video. Much of this diorama was inspired by Luke, who is a continued source of inspiration for Caleb.
* Caleb's concept of mine cart elevators are more or less real. It is period-inaccurate as bucket hoists or bucket loading was more common. Today however, some skip hoists do employ a system similar to it.
	+ It should be noted that (unless something alters the time the Wild West period ends) skip hoists will first be patented in 1909, three years prior to the end of the Wild West period.
* While this diorama was not inspired by anything particularly, it was inspired at least in part by the game, *Terraria*.
* This video was previously referenced in Crystal Mill + Resin Waterfall | Wild Imaginary West
Imperial Shuttle

This model was built by Caleb in April of 2020.

The idea for this model was Caleb wanting to add another model to his *Star Wars Legion* set.

## Appearances

* How To Scratch Build An Imperial Shuttle!

## Trivia

* This was the only *Star Wars* video in which no lore or world building was added nor could be gleaned from the set itself.
Falcon 9 Rocket

This diorama was built by Caleb in November of 2022.

Caleb was unsure of what to do for this diorama. Wanting to do something space themed he began with an astronaut figure, then switched to a portal concept, before finally landing on a rocket.

## Appearances

* Building an Epic DIY Mini Rocket Desk Lamp
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

## Trivia

* This diorama was partially inspired by 4THECRAFT.
* This video was originally titled "How to Make Realistic Tiny Rocket in a Jar"
	+ It was then changed to "Building the Tiniest Space-X Rocket"
Homesteader's Trail

This diorama was built by Caleb in March of 2023.

This diorama was inspired by the set used in the video.

## In-Universe Information

Sometime after 1837, homesteaders left for Fort Lupton, they bought protection services from an established western security faction.

## Appearances

* Wild River Crossing | Wild West Diorama
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* Based on appearances, the security detail involved appears to be members of the Ridgeway Riders, although this may not be the case.
* This video redefined what the unnamed mech walkers are. Previously wagon walkers would be referred to as MULEs. However, this video established that the difference between MULEs and the unnamed class of mechs comes down to purpose. They can be told apart by the type of legs the respective walkers use.
* This video established that forestalls were a western design, suggesting that they were invented and sold out west and that production has not reached the east. Caleb further established that this meant that homesteaders had to buy protection as they travelled from fort to fort.
* This video was originally titled "Traveling West Was Dangerous"
	+ It was then titled "Wild West River Crossings Were Dangerous"
	+ It was changed again to "River Crossings Are Dangerous | Wild West Diorama"
Wandering Watchtower

This diorama was built by Caleb in November of 2021.

It was inspired by an uncorrelated miniature of a man on a horse.

## In-Universe Information

It was built to search for megafauna and report it back to an unknown organization, likely some branch created by the United States Government.

At some point during the winter, it found itself on a mission. It is unknown if the horseback rider is involved with the mech or the branch of the US Government, but it is unlikely.

## Appearances

* Wandering Watchtower Mech | Wild Imaginary West
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* It differs from MULEs in that MULEs are four legged wagon mechs, whilst this is not.
* The exterior has scanning and radio communications technology. This would predate scanning in our universe by about 100 or so years and predates long distance radio communications by 50 or so years.
Assault on Moff Gideon's Cruiser

**Droids:** Kit-Bashing a Custom Droid with Some Friends

 **Droids:** Mandalorian | IG-11 Diorama

This diorama was built by Caleb in December of 2020.

It was inspired by the 7th episode of Season 2 of *The Mandalorian*.

The U.S. Military was called in to handle the situation but seems to have been unsuccessful.

## Trivia

* This diorama was gifted to Caleb's dad for Father's Day, as he is a fan of Pokémon.
* The urban landscape of this diorama was based off of a picture of Horizons Forge's diorama posted in the Discord.
* This is the first time since SQUADRONS | Star Wars Diorama (almost 3 years ago) that Stylo Ren has been referenced.
* This video was originally titled "Charizard vs. Dragonite Battle Diorama."
LYNX (Cybersona)

**Overview and Lore:**

2800: human experimentation re-enters the realm of technology, encouraged by the turn of the century. Rallies stormed the streets, demanding that the government outlaw human experimentation; although, many knew it would not make even a dent. Thousands of wealthy families bribed the government, some wanting to profit from the discoveries, others hoping to find a solution to their ailments. Unfortunately, that meant the weak and poor were subject to vile testing with the promise they would be compensated. By 2803, this turned into utilizing the bodies of brain-dead citizens to test various solutions; by 2805, fortune 500 companies had begun to induce illnesses in people to encourage a greater volume of available test subjects. One of those companies, TOPAZ (Technology Ordership of Pre-Fertilization, Absorption, and Zygotes) Intelligence Inc. sought to use said subjects as surrogates whose offspring would be severely mutated by chemical compounds. Most died. Until December of 2805, severely altered newborns only survived a week. However, TOPAZ would soon discover a compound that would strengthen plasma membranes, although would similarly strengthen the quality of pheomelanin. Despite the controversial belief that increased pheomelanin would cause skin cancer, it was a worthy risk to strengthen human immunity.

During mid-December, the first child was born.

Red hair, incredible tolerance to allergens, and no lower extremities. TOPAZ weaned between excitement and disappointment. Furthermore, the newborn survived. In fact, well past birth. After exhibiting bursts of energy and significant phantom leg movement, TOPAZ installed a set of energy-harvesting prosthetics that would not only create electricity but track the child's every move. It was at that moment they knew they no longer needed to be responsible for its prosperity and sent it to live with scientific professors in hopes their process would be respected. By 2811, their project had earned its rightful name: CENTAUR-0000, the first cyborg to be harvested for energy. Her parents, however, called her Lynx. TOPAZ Intelligence Inc. made several attempts to harvest her organs and perhaps mangle a new cyborg from each new piece of her body. It was then, at seventeen, Lynx went rogue and left her legs in the same place she left her life while going on to find support from similarly rogue scientists.

**Trivia:**

Lynx's theme is "Midnight" by PLAYMANE and Nateki

Lynx's model name is CENTAUR-0000, named after the Greek myth of the Centaur. This is because she is a cyborg only from the waist down.
Palace Beautiful

This diorama was built by Caleb in May of 2020.

Caleb had the idea to make this diorama for his grandfather's library. Specifically as a model scene from *Pilgrim's Progress*.

## In-Universe Information

As Christian approaches Palace Beautiful, he finds a pair of lions. He is told by Porter that the lions are chained and to enter one must pass by them. However it is difficult to ascertain from Christian's angle if the lions are in fact chained, thus a test of faith is in order.

## Trivia

* This was the first time that Caleb has injured himself during a recording.
Prairie Wanderer's Farmhouse

This diorama was built by Caleb in October of 2022.

This build idea came about because Caleb wanted to use an incomplete model for a Halloween art challenge, called: "The house you don't trick or treat at."

## In-Universe Information

At some point, an abandoned farm house was torn out of the ground and taken by a giant Prairie Wanderer.

## Appearances

* Little House on the Prairie Bison Monster
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* The Prairie Wanderer used in this video is the failed print from the Stage Coach + Bison Monster | Wild Imaginary West diorama.
* The Prairie Wanderer used in this video is much larger in comparison to it's model surroundings.
	+ This could be the mature size of the creature, making the one from the previous video the offspring.
	+ It is also possible that this monster has a range of sizes, or that one is suffering from dwarfism/gigantism respectively.
* Caleb later revealed he had jury duty during the making of this diorama.
* This video was originally titled "There's a Monster Under the Porch"
Terrain Mimic

This diorama was built by Caleb in March of 2023.

This was made for the monthly Patreon art challenge: "All Terrain Vehicles."

## In-Universe Information

At some point in history, a legend began that this Utah trail was part of a sleeping titan.

Many years later this trail would see off-roading enthusiasts make various attempts to try this trail but would always go missing.

At some point a maroon Jeep made it's way to the trail and survived due to it's durability.

## Trivia

* This video was originally titled "This Off Road Trail Will Literally Eat You"
	+ It was then titled "The Most Terrifying Off-Road Trail Diorama"
Alligator Snapping Turtle's Habitat

This diorama was built by Caleb in August of 2021.

It primarily features an unknown snapping turtle model that Caleb found online. The build was inspired by the real life creatures of the same name of the Genus *Macrochelys.*

## In-Universe Information

At an unknown point in time some river rafters were tasked with moving a forestall down river. At some point they accidentally entered the alligator snapping turtle's habitat. It is not stated whether or not they lived or died. It is unknown if the forestall is well known or if it was recently invented. In the case of the former, it is probable that it was activated and drove the turtle away, if not, it is likely the three travelers were killed and the device lost.

## Appearances

* Alligator Snapping Turtle Resin Diorama | Testing the new (unreleased) Anycubic Photon Ultra!
* These Monster Hunters Don’t Stand a Chance
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* The species it is modelled after is *Chelonura temminckii.*
	+ It's important to note that while in-universe it resembles *Chelonura temminckii*, it would not be, since the model version is a megafauna, and thus would not be the same animal.
* When the video was produced it was not known that the American megafauna existed only west of the Mississippi River. This means the snapping turtle could have been in any river but was likely found specifically in the Mississippi River.
	+ This would make the unnamed species of snapping turtle the Eastern-most megafauna in America.
		- As of "Don’t Sleep in a Swamp | Skunk Ape Diorama" this is no longer true. This species of snapping turtle does retain itself as the Eastern-most aquatic megafauna however.
			* As of Giant Anaconda Sneaks Up on Unsuspecting Riverboat Captain this is no longer true as the story was retconned. However, with that said the Giant Anaconda now owns the title of both, Eastern-most megafauna *and* Eastern-most river monster.
* The forestall does not have a defined purpose in this episode. It would later be established that they are used to force the megafauna back and make America (particularly west of the Mississippi) habitable.
	+ Since out-of-universe forestalls are (in this video) recently established canon, it is possible that forestalls are a recent invention in-universe.
Frost Salamander's Habitat

This diorama was built by Caleb in January of 2023.

This build was inspired primarily by the monthly art challenge: "Snow Monsters." It was further inspired by the Frost Salamander that Caleb discovered at the local hobby shop.

## In-Universe Information

At some point in the past, an unknown number of assailants and parties had attacked the giant salamander. All of which were unsuccessful

An unknown amount of time passed, and a group of knights made it their goal to kill the salamander. Vanilla Ice-cream and their rider were killed and during the ensuing battle, Root Beer and their rider, "Hammer Boy," were burned to a crisp. It is unknown if the other knights involved were successful in killing the salamander, especially considering the results of the previous attacks.

## Appearances

* Frost Salamander Battles Knights | Diorama

## Trivia

* This was the first Fantasy diorama of 2023. It was also the first diorama of 2023.
	+ Caleb also established in this video that the Fantasy dioramas would be getting their own universe.
* During the video a trivia note states "A group of salamanders is called a herd or congress." This is a common misconception, as a group of salamanders is actually called a maelstrom.
* The darkest horse present was named "Butterscotch" and the lightest horse was named "Chocolate."
* This video was originally titled "Knights vs. Giant Salamander Diorama"
	+ It was then changed to "Realistic Randall Boggs Fights Three Knights"
	+ It was changed again to "Giant Salamander Battle Diorama"
Town Chapel

This diorama was built by Caleb in January of 2022.

No inspiration seems to have been the source for this diorama. It is possible that the concept of a gun slinging priest caught Caleb's attention.

## In-Universe Information

After completing his training, the Preacher traveled westward to preach the word of God to settlers. Upon arriving in the west, whether he settled in this town first or not, he discovered the need for a gun. He took it upon himself to learn this skill so that he could live to preach.

At some point the town was visited by the preacher and in due time, the chapel was constructed in town.

## Appearances

* My Western Town | Building 5
* 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

* As it happens, a Chapel actually does not have a preacher or priest attending. Chapels are about self-service, making the preacher's existence out west a historical fallacy.
	+ It is possible that the preacher built a proprietary chapel, staking ownership of the building and simply preaching throughout town. At any rate the full function of mass is not performed in town.
WALL-E's Boot

This diorama was built by Caleb in May of 2020.

Caleb made this diorama as homage to his favorite Pixar movie, as well as to have a prop to put on his shelf.

## In-Universe Information

Xenomorph Attack

This diorama was built by Caleb in March of 2022.

Caleb had the idea to create a Xenomorph diorama whilst also making use of the three model soldiers sent by Model Creator.

## In-Universe Information

At some point a Xenomorph engaged a soldier. It is implied that the soldier was killed by the Xenomorph.

## Appearances

* Terrifying Alien Sneaks Up On a Soldier Diorama
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special

## Trivia

* As of now, Model Creator is still working on developing the software for their service.
* Caleb's father sent him a new airbrush shortly before this video. This was an upgrade to the previous airbrush and would be the airbrush used on Boylei Hobby Time moving forward.
* This video was originally titled "Scary Alien Attack Diorama"
	+ It was later changed to "Alien Attack Diorama"
IG-11's Sacrifice

**Droids:** Mandalorian vs. Dark Trooper | Mandalorian S2 - Episode 8

 **Droids:** BEST ROGUE ONE SCENE | A Diorama

This diorama was built by Caleb in November of 2020.

It was inspired directly by the same scene it depicts.

## In-Universe Information

Around 9 ABY, IG-11, Din Djarin, and Grogu travelled by droid barge down a river of lava. Upon reaching a tunnel, it was revealed that Imperial stormtroopers were waiting at the ready in ambush. Knowing there was no way out for all three of them, IG-11 chose to sacrifice himself for the good of the others. Walking through the lava he came upon the stormtroopers and self-destructed, killing him and everyone around him, clearing a path for Din and Grogu.

## Trivia

* This was the first diorama on the channel to feature mod podge.
Dogfight

This diorama was built by Caleb in July of 2020.

This build was inspired in anticipation for *Star Wars Squadrons*.

## In-Universe Information

Somewhere in the galaxy, two TIE Fighters were pursued by an X-Wing. In the pursuit, one TIE was destroyed, the fate of the other is unknown.

## Trivia

* This is the third time Caleb shifted focus to demonstrating his process rather than explaining it. This concept would not be used again on Boylei Hobby Time but would become the main appeal of Caleb's second channel in 2023.
Hover Scooter

This diorama was built by Caleb in November of 2023.

It was inspired by the infamous hover scooter chase scene featured in *The Book of Boba Fett*. Caleb decided that the scene did not work and decided to make a hover scooter in a different universe altogether.

## In-Universe Information

With mag-lev trains now decommissioned, many mag-lev tracks still persist through a combination of government apathy, convenience, and costs.

Over time, cities have grown upwards creating a more literal hierarchy. Those who live in the lower levels use the old mag-lev tracks for transportation.

## Trivia

* Use of the mag-lev tracks is considered criminal trespassing, but this law is not enforced and so the tracks continue to be used.
Train Robbery

This diorama was built by Caleb in January of 2022.

It was inspired by leftover railroad tracks from a previous build.

## In-Universe Information

As the train was leaving the tunnel, it was attacked by bandits, including one horseback rider and a Native American.

## Appearances

* Train Robbery | Wild Imaginary West
* Boylei Hobby Time Q&A Special
* They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site Diorama

## Trivia

* This diorama replaced the 5th building for the Western Town as preferential. As it happens, the subsequent video was of the as-of-then unmade diorama.
* This diorama was also the first Wild Imaginary West diorama of 2022.
* Given that only one member had a horse it is unlikely their robbery attempt succeeded. It is however, possible that others were waiting up ahead, although there is no confirmation of this.
* It is stated that steam power is the preferred energy production method regardless of the amount of electric equipment showcased. Furthermore there is discourse between the Railroad Companies and the Electric Companies over the matter.
	+ It is possible that electronics are only really prevalent west of the Mississippi, where forestalls are necessary for westward expansion.
		- This was confirmed later in Giant Anaconda Sneaks Up on Unsuspecting Riverboat Captain to be the case, primarily due to the legal status of forestalls.
The Marauder

This diorama was built by Caleb in May of 2021.

The idea for this build came directly from *Star Wars: The Bad Batch*.

## In-Universe Information

By 19 BBY the clones of experimental unit 99, a.k.a. Clone Force 99, had performed a number of highly specialized covert operations for the Republic.

Beginning in 19 BBY, Clone Force 99 splintered and chose to side with or against the Empire. The *Marauder* was taken by those that sided against the Empire and attempted to disappear from their watchful eyes.

## Trivia

* Initially, Caleb was somewhat adverse to the *Marauder'*s design but came to appreciate it by the time the video was released.
Beau Jo

Beau Jo was a miner who lived during the years of the Wild Imaginary West.

## In-Universe Information

At some point during the Wild Imaginary West, Beau Jo took two associates with him down into the Rocky Mountains. It was here they came across a massive geode.

## Trivia

* Beau Jo is dressed like many of the other miners, suggesting that he actually works for a company.
	+ This may be supported by the updated title of the video as opposed to the former. In which the former suggests that they took the money for themselves but the latter having removed that implication.
Saber Tooth Mountain Lion's Habitat

 **Mechs:** Check Out My New Logging Mech!

## **Monster Hunters:** Wild Western Monster Hunt | The Golden Bear
 **Mechs:** Wandering Watchtower Mech | Wild Imaginary West

This diorama was built by Caleb in March of 2022.

This doesn't seem to be inspired by anything particular, rather that Caleb just wanted to make another monster hunting party combined with mechs.

## In-Universe Information

While out monster hunting in the Rocky Mountains, two monster hunters came across a saber tooth mountain lion having recently killed a rider's horse. The fate of the rider is not known.

The fate of the monster hunters is also unknown but it is implied that they were killed.

Battle of Hoth

This diorama was built by Caleb in June of 2022.

After obtaining two AT-AT walker kits, Caleb chose to recreate the Battle of Hoth.

## In-Universe Information

In 3 ABY the Empire discovered the location of the Rebel Base on Hoth. Shortly after the discovery they assaulted the complex, killing most of the occupants at the time.

## Appearances

* This is the first video to feature the updated (and current) intro screen.
* This is also the first video to feature some kind of stop-motion animation.
* This video also features new techniques and tools, not previously used in other Boylei Hobby Time videos
	+ Considering these three things, this video can be considered the video that Caleb found his footing in.
* Caleb took a different approach than he had been, shifting focus to demonstrating his process rather than explaining it.
