    For my monthly Patreon art challenge, the theme voted on was Hideouts and Outposts. I always like to participate and decided to build a mountaintop lookout outpost. It was inspired by Devil's Head Lookout which is not far from where I live in Colorado.

    I was in my local hobby shop in Birmingham, UK the other day and there was a kid with his dad there asking if they had any American frontiersman kits. They were saying that they watch this CZcamsr who makes imaginary Wild West dioramas with giant monsters. Obviously I had to go over and say hi to my fellow BHT fans!
    Unfortunately they didn't have anything like that at the store but I hope they/you managed to track something down!

    This is probably my favorite Weird Wild West diorama so far. I love the precariousness of its location, the light dusting of summer snow (like you'd see up on the peaks in CO or AK), and the building looks like it's been in use for a long time.
    Excellent build, Boylei.

    The outpost is a great addition to the Wild imaginary West. In addition, I'm also glad that you mentioned that the outpost keeper bird-watches with giant eagles because I've been thinking about how awesome it'd be to have some kind of giant bird added to this universe since we've only had ground-specific and water-specific creatures so far. I think making a giant eagle or hawk would be a nice video idea for the future!

    • @earlware4322
      @earlware4322 Před 2 lety +1

      My thoughts exactly! There needs to be a fairly large predatory bird in the WIW to justify the Pinkertons using those weaponized balloons. Also, something has to be carrying off all those hikers and small animals that keep disappearing...🤔

    This rinds me of The Shambles in York England it's the way the building get larger the higher up it goes.

    Gorgeous build, I love the way the guitar strings worked. A little suggestion, if you want the black base area smoother, paint the wood, especially the end grain, with a few layers of PVA (can sand after it dries) to seal up the grain, and sand up to 150-180 before painting it
