This Beautiful Underground Lake Holds a Terrifying Secret

I have an idea for a diorama, a small mountain road with people walking on, further up, a rockslide is tumbling towards them and a large creature caused the rock slide.

This is the most well executed cave diorama I've ever seen! The greenish colors at the entrance really sell the look, I think. Keep inspiring us next generation of hobby YouTubers, Boylei!

I like to think that, Like other Octopi, the one on the pool is actually reasonably friendly. It's perhaps curious, but not actively hostile. Unlike the other giant monsters of the W.I.W, the Octopi are just as intelligent as their smaller cousins, and capable of emotional maturity. I think the cave dweller here is mostly just curious about this strange man and his portable light, and might even throw some rocks up onto the shore to see if it can engage in a passing exercise with this strange, not very well camouflaged creature.

Even without the obligatory, Wild Imaginary West monster; this is one of the best cave dioramas (shadowbox?) that I have ever seen! The fact that the monster isn't immediately apparent makes this a well-executed "Delayed-Reaction Piece," that takes viewers a moment or two to realize that there is more to this excellent spelunking diorama than meets the eye. Looking forward to your next diorama!

The footage of regular superglue every time he says he's using foam-safe superglue is so funny 😭😭

As someone who has never made a single model that didn't look like a 5 year old built it, I am in awe of Boylei. every week he amazes me with a new creation that makes me feel so happy and so damned useless at the same time. Keep doing what works sir!

I swear this man builds such cool things. And he uploads quite often as well. Great work!

I love these types of builds, very big, very detailed, with the right amount of story and creepiness. The video is very educating, calm, entertaining and with a pinch of comedy. These videos will never get old, keep up the good work Boylei! (If that's your name)

One of these days, I'm gonna be a billionaire, and I'm gonna build an art museum and hire you to make an entire hall dedicated to the Imaginary Wild West 😂

I'd be all for a D&D session set in your Imaginary Wild West.

I like to imagine this is your version of the Oklahoma Lake Octopus cryptid. Except rather than lakes, it's deep underground pools. Excellent diorama! 👏

Beneath the town of Treason lay a vast network of caves and ravines; some flooded, others dry. Miners and adventurers alike delve deep into the earth in search of their salvation, but few ever return.

It’s nice to see someone who is not about to be unalived in a diorama! I hope this isn’t the last installment of Leo’s adventures

I’m the words of Director Krennick, “Oh, it’s beautiful.” Marvelously done. The water is just clear enough for the outline and smooth as glass as a lake in a cave would probably be.

This cave is stunning, and I love everything about this build! I’ll watch it again with my mom to celebrate Mother’s Day 🙂. Thanks for what you do Boylei!!

oh my god that first shot of the finished diorama with the lake reflecting the cave entrance was BEAUTIFUL. holy shit. this might be my favourite piece of yours to date!

I can not lie. I'm addicted to your videos. Everyday I come home from work I watch at least one. Doesn't matter if I've seen the video before. Your dioramas are so amazing and it's so cool being able to watch your process.

Hands down one of the best builds ever. The contrast between light and dark, colorful and bleak, and the just out-of-sight octopus that almost can't be seen is so nuanced it is perfect. Just perfect!

This is simply stunning! I also love that even though resin has been a pain in the past you learn from it and get better. It shows us that it's okay to try new things and even if you fail you can always learn from it and it was never a waste. Love this series.

Simply incredible, C! I love your airbrushing and color choices. The fact that you painted in a shaft of yellow light to pick up the natural light rocks my world man. Also, the mirrored reflection on the surface of the still lake water is beautiful. This is so inspiring. p.s. I saw a movie with Leo!! He was attacked by a bear and crawled like a billion miles back to camp while being attacked by ants, ravens, and other assorted biting insects. It's a pretty depressing film, but he made it... barely (pun intended). You would think that Leo would have learned his lesson and just retired, but apparently he's exploring dangerous caves now. Sigh. Some people. Insanely cool work!
