Two weeks ago, I was on my way to Louisiana to hang out with some crafting friends. Along the way, we made our way through a swamp and had an encounter with some alligators. I made a diorama inspired by the experience.

    It's true. All of it. Even the part where we stopped at Hole Foods, which is just a big pit of miscellaneous "edible" scraps
  • @CCMinis
    100% accurate retelling of our perilous adventure - can't wait for 2024
  • It was my marshmallow white British tan that confused the gators. They're all right really. Great video boylei.
  • That was fantastic! Literally. Well done my friend! I love that Bill is a bead bot, Studson is Link, and that you painted Nick with his blue shirt sporting that tres chic pattern of oranges! I also LOVE how you did the duckweed and just how well the whole diorama came out. Kudos on using a small speaker for the fan on the boat and also for using sprues as the railings! Just simply amazing... as usual. : )
  • @TheCrafsMan
    My man, you had me captivated the entire time. That was an absolutely FUN video! :D So well-done. Getting to shake hands, hang out, and all enjoy a meal together... that's one of those "No, that wasn't a dream - it really happened" situations. Very special.
  • @Dowlphin_
    For me all the inserts said "None of the events and details of this story have been altered to improve its entertainment value." and I think that's beautiful. So happy that you had such a great time together! Very wholesome to hear that all you crafty Youtubers celebrated Bill's birthday and had an awesome time :)
  • @jacobhesse981
    Great build and what a fun story! You should add a tiny bag of marshmallows floating beside the boat!
  • @tikettle
    I love that you’ve gained this little community of builders and hobbyists (sorry if the terminology offends anyone, I’m a newb to this craft). Love the swamp scenes and the details from your real life. Oh, and the goofier vids are what I relate to most!
  • @Chill1332
    WOO! I was so excited to heard about this get together. I knew you guys would get into some shenannigans. Poor Bill. He always gets the short end of the stick, doesn't he? Hope he can still craft with one hand. Or maybe he'll just build another one. LOVE this diorama! Your builds are so fun, whimsical and dynamic.
  • @Dan_Does
    Scratch building masterclass! That boat was superb! Also... thanks 😊 x
  • @onionhead5780
    As a South Floridian who lives next to the Everglades I can appreciate and relate to this diorama a bit more than others. Also I’ve never heard the term fanboat before. We call them Airboats down here. You did excellent work as usual. 👍
  • @carrie4910
    The story meld was awesome 😂 Love the build, gives me ‘dont go into the long grass’ from Jurassic Park vibes….only swampier and alligatory
  • The diorama and the tall tails that inspired it are both incredible! I'm glad you had the chance to hang out with your fellow YouTube crafters, like an old-school IPMS Club Meeting, instead of just correspond online. And as building a swamp navigating fanboat has been on my future projects list for decades, I appreciate the tutorial in this video. And at your ages, worrying about carbs is the least of your worries. At my age, my "future projects list" has recently morphed into a "bucket list" . . . . Thanks for sharing this build (and the tale of your adventures in Louisiana) with us!
  • @Emily-mn2bp
    It's so sweet the personalization of the minis representing your friends, such an awesome touch!
  • @BlueStar731
    This video was an absolute joy to watch! Not only thanks to your skills but the story was so great. Please, make some more videos like this one.
  • @raymondo162
    OH YEAH !! the idea; the build; the paintwork; the resin work; the storyline........ ABSOLUTELY spot-on Boylei. really brought some grin to my afternoon
  • Man this guy can really build things I really like him he's great at this
  • @4THECRAFT
    Great build and this trip must have been so much fun. You are an amazing storyteller, mate. I could listen to you all day.
  • @Vault57
    Loved this homage to friends as well as the peek behind the curtain! Great build and video.
