Mermaid Attack | Epoxy Resin Diorama

Published 2024-06-09
This week, I created one of my most requested monsters so far! I mentioned Chupacabra Mermaids in a video about a year ago and finally decided to bring the spooky creatures to life with the help of Hero Forge.

I'd love to see you create a aquarium scene with something lurking in the depth. Like a scene at seaworld with a twist.
-
I like that the revolver he has his focus on is pointed directly between it's eyes, yet the one he is not focused on is drooping and pointed more towards the chest. Such a subtle yet amazing detail.
-
No joke this man does the best water dioramas. Pure awsomness
-
I always love the little text notes you include in these builds, but "Now, my Spanish is a bit rusty, but I believe they eat GOAT, which is probably why they wanna eat me." is going to live rent free in my head for a good while.
-
Having the mermaids attached to each other just barely to make a web is super cool!!!! It really helps suspend them in water without fishing line or other method. Such a cool mini project
-
I am one of three people who've been so excited for chupacabra mermaids since you mentioned them. I've definitely left a comment or two and gave up hope. Seeing this on my feed made my day.
-
Your storytelling with that soothing voice of yours adds so much to this already breathtaking work of art.😮
-
Mermaids actually are vampiric in nature, a realistic scene depiction. Well Done.
-
If Leo ever made a book of all the things he saw in his life I would buy it in a heart beat
-
I never tire of the imaginary wild west scenarios. Love how self contained this one is. Awesome work as always! God bless!
-
The ridges actually give kind of a Mayan flavor, like the reliefs on a temple. They are low enough they don't really detract from the figures.
-
We need a full timeline of Leo's adventures, and eventually a movie / animation
-
Awesome build. Man, that Hero Forge kit bashing thing is very cool. Always excited for new Wild Imaginary West creature encounter builds.
-
The Wild Imaginary West has become one of my favorite pieces of fiction. Thanks for sharing it with us!
-
"which is probably why they wanna eat me" 😂 Brilliant! ❤
-
It would have make the water look more shallow, but would adding terrain to the bottom of the jar have helped with hiding the ridges? Hindsight being 20/20 and all of that... These WIW dioramas are always so much fun to watch, and hear the little stories behind the scenes.
-
you should make a 1 to 1 scale 'Leo's journal' and write all the stuff that he's done. also, you should make a diorama of leo riding a wild imaginary west giant sea turtle, because that wold just be plain cool.
-
I love the way you arranged the chups into one creepy mass
-
I am OBSESSED with this one. My wife and I watch all your videos and love them, but this project especially spoke to me. It’s so dynamic in the posing of the minis, I love the round shape of the diorama, and I can see the story so clearly even at a glance. Love it!
-
My gid, there has never been something I've wanted to make a DnD world out of so much before, the wild imaginary west universe you're creating is truly so so amazing, and creation-inspiring!! (edited for spelling mistake)
