This week I made a mine! This gold mine in the wilds of the Imaginary West is occupied by a extra large and terrifying spider. This build was inspired by Terraria, Minecraft, Stephen Biesty's incredible cross sections, and @LukeTowan

Hear me out, a market where the hunters sell their loot. Like with scales for weighting, different merchants with monster parts, cages with monsters inside (which I believe we still don't have). You can make it big witha lot of open space. It would be a great addition to the town!!!
would be kinda nice to have it as a centre in the town
A very interesting idea. A bustling market place. Maybe even an auction block.
Love it.
Yes!!!
Love this idea!
Love this boylei should make this

The concept of a spider so big it fills an entire tunnel like an octopus in a bucket is terrifying.
The spider isn't there to kill anyone. She's there to help with the mining. It's her silk that's holding the elevator. She's surprisingly adept at helping them all out and is earning her full share of the profits :)
Good ending:)
Honestly when you think of that, it would be a logical thing to do
She's actually the only one getting paid in real money. All the humans accepted getting paid in company scrip. This is what happens when you don't unionize, but the spiders do. Don't let the giant spiders replace us, join a union.
@@CaravanCzar Join the giant spider union! You won't find a union rep who will fight harder for you nor scare your employer more into giving you what you deserve!
It's very strong and supremely agile in the caverns and crevasses and requires not much light. Their metabolism allows for long stretches of work down in the mines, dark and damp recesses being their natural habitats seem to also benefit the creature. Directing the spider and utilizing it's silk allow quick vertical maneuvering of both materials and men.
Being a miner myself and doing rehab work on old mines in Alaska, this is pretty much spot on. The only thing I’d have to say is that the headings the old miners tunneled into were only about 3 feet tall by 2 feet wide. They did that for ground support and didn’t use any timbers in the headings, only on the main foot wall (main access tunnel). Still a very spot on diorama!
Hey I'm from Alaska
That "Californian's favorite colors" joke was seriously brilliant.
I work in the mining industry in CA and I find your diorama very convincing. The old timers made setups like that all the time. Not sure how many giant spiders they had to fight but who knows. Good job.
CZcams’s recommendations seems to have lead to another side of CZcams I never knew I would love. I really do love watching the craft of people with more skill than me make some incredible things.
The red and blue joke was so good. Good job on the build!
What was the joke?🙈
@@Brabbel93 The top of the californian miner was red while the bottom was blue. south california is democratic while the north is mainly republican

I had all the Stephen Biesty books as a kid. loved the pirate ship one. held on to them for over 20 years so I could finally give them to my nephew when he got old enough to appreciate them. there's something mesmerizing about cross sections.
Oh God I wish the tour of the final result would've been waaaaay longer, your work is unbelievable, it transported my mind to a remote location. I was running a million stories on my head but it ended abruptly. Amazing work.
I only wish he used more lighting to light the whole project up when showing it off, as the footage looked too dark to really see all of the details. 😢
Do you have a mini museum where you keep all of these pieces? They're all excellent and theme so well together.
Yeah he does it is pretty cool
@@SmexHex source?
@@skeppyfan1415 source: trust me bro
he probably shows them in his socials or patreon
@@AaNullas well, still take it with a grain of salt.
There's a model of the orphan girl and neversweat mines in a museum in my hometown. First, I can't believe how enormous it was,at one point, there was more room underground than in the town, a lot more. Second, I always thought it was just creepy looking and just frightening thinking about being that far down and so far away from any exit or anything. Now add the possibility of a creature of some kind, well that's a solid nope for me. I'll just go work in the fields, where at least you can see the monster coming.
Miners (RL miners, that is) call it "the weight," as in, sometimes you can feel the weight over your head.
Where is that museum and it’s name, please?
"I'll just go work in the fields, where at least you can see the monster coming."
PLOT TWIST : you end up being eaten by a Tremor
@@DocBree13
It's the world museum of mining in Butte Montana.
@@darthkek1953
Damned graboids. It's just not safe anywhere.
This model looks FANTASTIC! If this does not turn into a movie i’m rioting
I met Stephen Biesty as a kid, and got him to sign his then latest book which was Castle.
My mom took me to an event at the local excellent kids book store, Wild Rumpus, Biesty was supposed to be signing books and having an event there like an hour later, and I figured that we'd totally avoid the wait if we showed up early.
So we did. I told him how much I loved Man o War, and he pointed out some of the other details in Castle, like the kissing couple that appears in each image, who isn't the spy.
Cool guy.
Now that's a cool build! I have an idea for another in the Imaginary Wild West. Could be a scene on a meandering river (the people LOVE resin) with a boat that uses a mech leg as a pushpole to move along in the shallow water. It could stumble across a giant crawfish in the riverbank or something like that, or maybe it's a logging boat that comes across a giant beaver and dam.
A cool one would be a lone traveler camping next to a fire in the woods, but spread between the trees is a pack of small monsters. The light coming from the central location of the flame would be cool.
The more I watch the more I want to run an RPG in this setting! Love it!
“Red is more popular up north and blue is more popular along the coast and in cities.” Bwahahahahahhaa! That was a good one!
The way this looks, the Spider looks like it's just chilling with the miners and having a little chat with them while they work
I like to think the spider is like a saint patron to them. Warning them of potential threats with his (her?)
spider senses and whatnot.
Those warm LEDs take the realism & atmosphere of the piece beyond next level.
genuinely impressive build. I love hearing your process for making these.
"Red in the north, blue in the south." *snicker* I vote yes to this joke. 😆
Your amount of ideas and good, no BEST work is admirable! More than a modeler : you are an artist! Best wishes !!
This series truly is special. I've lived on the western-slope of Colorado my whole life and seeing the state come to life in miniature form is fantastic!
It's not the detail, it's the design. You captured a moment that invokes a emotional response.
Just send four dwarves with pickaxes. They’ll take care of any bugs in your way, as long as you have beer, sandwiches, and Morkite.
I actually love how you paint the edges black. It puts more focus on the actual surface, and makes the cut portions more conceptual; helps it recede. Dioramas where the ground texture continues all over the edges look cheesy to me for some reason. Yours always look refined with the black poché, like architectural sections. 🏛
Your Wild West stuff is always so great, really lovely series. Props for the terraria and Minecraft references too!
That guy pushing the minecart, doesn't really look all that nervous about the hulking big arachnid directly behind him.
I'm imagining that they actually somehow tamed it, and it's now the "Guard Dog" to keep 'claim jumpers' out of their mine. 😁👍
it's the canary
@@defuegodiablo4249 well i don't think it would work very well as a canary because it would probably take about the same time or more to experience the effects of toxic gasses as humans.
Unless the miner is running away from the giant spider with the cart, it makes me think that the giant spider is potentially “tamed.” Like, it helps create the mineshafts and the miner we see is taking the debris out of the shaft. I think I like that idea more! ❤️
Nice to have some quality content on this platform. Thanks!
Looks good, would’ve been cool if the miners were mining right for a cave with a spider nest in it though, could’ve used a bunch of spiders and spider eggs in it
Agree, because this build is like "oh a giant spider, who care, let's push this cart"
But that's my personnal opinion
Amazing mate. 👏 very inspiring diorama. Instead of black color personaly I would prefer a brown or an earthly color for the front face but in any case this is very nice. 👍
He should add a few more Cole or other ores that they haven't collected yet.
Agree. Blackface can be kind of offensive lol.
Some well placed glitter spots would have conveyed the gold they were possibly mining for 💰
The use of the black color helps draw the viewers focus to the elements where you want them to be looking which is the mind and the miners. If you used a brown color it would be harder to draw that focus.
I was thinking should have added actual dirt as flocking.
Cutting that foam with the hot wire is one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever seen. Looks like I’m getting into model building.
Also, really really cool build man! ✌🏻
Very beautiful. The eldritch horror that comes from below the earth (the subconscious), is the ultimate fear in the form of a spider.
There was a common trend in the 1930s of doctored images that supposedly giant grasshoppers. Examples include: a hunter holding a grasshopper the size of a dog like they would a rabbit they shot, a grasshopper pulling a plow instead of a horse/cow, one that had bucked its rider off like a horse, a grasshopper vs a train, and plenty others.
Maybe these grasshoppers actually exist in your Wild West universe? Just an idea
I remember seeing the photo of the hunter holding the giant grasshopper. It looks totally real
I love how you incorporate lighting in your builds, really want to try that myself some day! Thanks for sharing this amazing piece.
Lighting is everything in design imho
When I was a kid and was building plane models with my brother I used to paint my models after they were assembled. My brother taught me that it was easier if you painted all the parts before you assembled them. After watching several of your builds, I see that you paint after you assemble for the most part. That really warms my heart.
That dude saving the cart at all costs lol
It's okay guys! Nothing to fear: The spider's abdomen can't fit through the mineshaft supports. Everything's fine.
The spider must have eaten a lot of other miners to get that fat. 🕷️🕷️🕸️😵
Spider got a big butt😂😂😂
@@carlosspeicywiener7018 booty so big oh lord have mercy
Nothing to worry? It will break the supports and collapse the mine.
@@joeshmoe9978 Thats is the trick, you feed spider with fellow miners and everything is fine. 😉😉
The amazing results you get from such simple materials demonstrate your mastery.
P.S. Jackalopes!
Yes, Jackalopes! My favorite "photo" of them was a rather largw specimen that some enterprising cowboy had saddled and was trying to ride. THAT would make for a great scene!!
This kind of cave dioramas always reminds me of an old computer game, 'Black Thorne' from Blizzard
I really enjoy the Hidden humour in this
I have no clue how you get these out so fast with this kind of quality, but I love it. Every time I watch one of these it makes me want to go out and work on my half done projects. 😂
I think I recommended this. Another idea could be some sort of hanger for mechs where they are sold. Or maybe a junkyard for, well, junk.
A perfect example of doing what you enjoy. You can tell he takes pride in his work and finds it interesting. To be honest, I didn't know this even existed till an hour ago, and ever since then, I've been binge-watching.
Wow you have some awesome talent and vision!!!!!! I love watching people make these things because they are all so creative…….great work on all your prjects
Found your channel today and I’ve just been binging everything! I love your dioramas and videos, really fascinating and entertaining
I personally love this build! I wish to get into dioramas myself but just haven't had the time or place to do so. What a cool addition to your world man! I think you could have the mine shafts be like their own separate story with different parts of the mineshaft be different dioramas that could all come together in one big diorama. Plus, a cool idea for the next addition to your town could be a barber shop, a pawn shop for cool gadgets and monster parts and pelts. Or even a shoot-out with some sci-fi es cowboys.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Found this channel recently and i cant stop binge watching every creation. Out of all the channels like this, i personally think yours in the best. Fantastic work & great commentary. Looking forward to whatever the future brings.
I really like this one. Also huge fan of Luke and his goldmine diorama. That guy's got some skill. I like that you do a little bit of everything. Very cool bud
Great job!! My favorite so far!! I almost want to live in this crazy West and hunt monsters, almost. Well done sir, looking forward to seeing more!!
Awesome.. i LOVE things like this! Thanks
Epic video, I can't believe you made that all (mostly) by hand! Also I loved the terraria shoutout.
This is fantastic Caleb! Love the glamour shots at the end from inside the mine, the lighting is perfect and it feels like you are inside the cramped corridors. And the piece of track on the lift makes complete sense to me too. If they ever did manage to kill that spider I would not want to be part of the carcass cleanup and removal crew.
I didn't know it actually was that easy to make a diorama like this look that good. It's kind of inspiring me to make one myself, some day.
Same
You know when someone has a lot of skill because they make amazing results look effortless.
I like it!!!!! As a kid I lived near Knott's Berry Farm. I rode Calico as often as I was allowed.......this reminds me of that....minus spider!!!!
I've been waiting for this exact diorma,thank you!
Great work,another phenomenal video
Much love,
Mr.P
Man your videos have finally pushed me into this hobby. Your dioramas are amazing, I love this steampunk west world you're building and I love the editing in your videos, how you explain the steps and the recording of the process. 10/10 my man, I really hope you get to enjoy your hobbies like this all your life!
I wonder what he does with them afterwards… Does he sell them, give them away, or keep them? I imagine that if he were to keep them all, he would have to have a lot of space at his home!
I just imagine the miner seeing a bloody elevator descend down with an empty minecart and immediately wondering what happened
I straight build stuff. Mostly gunpla, but other things beside. You diorama builders are totally on another level. Good job.
Wonderful job!!!! Thanks for sharing beautiful video!
This is amazing, i would love to build something like this for my room! very well done my friend!
😂 Love the spider pantomime in the beginning 🤣
Outstanding! Every piece of your Imaginary Wild West just keeps getting better and better!
Great job. Beautiful build and a very refreshing scene, Very cool.
WOOOOOOW!!! That' soooo beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!
Because of the title, I watched the entire video waiting for my mother-in-law to show up.
I'm really loving all of these Old West builds that you're doing, and I was curious...have you read any of the graphic novel series East of West? Some very amazing and weird western concepts in there you might like if you haven't. Also when you use Native American miniatures in your builds, have you thought to have a look at the ways that some tribes decorated rifles or painted horses and the like? I had that thought when watching your swamp mech build and thought incorporating bits of that could potentially be very cool.
Just discovered WIW and love it - I see it as the era before steampunk, with the greeblies in WIW having purely practical purposes but just waiting for the town to move from a prospector settlement to an established town when the monsters are largely defeated or tamed and money is available for decorative features.
One thing on this build would be to use a toggle switch for the lighting incorporating it into the pit head scenery as a lever.
That is so cool! Love the way you put your diorama together. The spider really gave it Pop. The colors came together nicely and the lights gave it atmosphere. It actually draws you in and makes it look like you are in a mine.
I would love to see a train of some sort, maybe carrying monsters in cages or about to be ambushed 👍
The moment you realize even if the cage was lifted up it couldn’t go above ground. It is almost already as high as it can go before it hits the roof
Just found your channel and i gotta say your doing something right here with these. I absolutely love mini dioramas but i never have the patience to watch one be made but the way to compose these videos makes them very engaging and interesting
It’s so nice to see adults fully using their imagination! So wholesome puts a smile on my face
Very nice!
And you'd have to think that the wiring and power sources from your time periods would be far from steady. So you should do a little R&D and figure out how you could give your light sources some flicker.
Neat idea, I was thinking a flickering light would add to the atmosphere and give a sense of forboding as well. He didn't mention it, but it looks to be powered off a tea candle base. They make some that flicker for more realistic flame, just swap out the main unit and there ya go!
Might be my aracnophobia talking but this is the scariest monster yet. And I thought the giant moose was terrifying
one of my favorite parts is when he's done he says "And with that i called it good."
Minecraft spider sound effect, pure genius. Beautiful work sir, thank you for sharing.
I really really like this series, but you haven't done a flyer of somesort to this theme so i request for you to make one 🙂🙂🙂
This project is amazing on so many different levels (no pun intended!) I'm thinking of making an Oak Island scene, based on what you did, here. Thanks for posting this, and please keep the good work and inspiration coming!
Steampunk Train. Steampunk Airship. Please . . . .
Absolutely great. I love the idea of this diorama. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness. 👍😉
Very cool 👍 Great nightlite for a small boy ... I know I would have loved it.
That is soooo cool! I used to draw stuff like this when I was small, and you brought it to life!
An after thought though, what if you used the egg sac where the miner was mining? or put parts of it in the mine cart... like the miners stumbled upon something of great value without knowing the danger, or maybe it was worth the risk to hunt for these underground spider eggs? :D
I just started playing Terraria for the first time a few days ago and me and my friends just beat the wall of flesh last night and I can safely say the game got a lot more painful to play 😂 I hate those Derplings so much
Derplings, herplings, and giant tortoises
Yes the derplings absolutely suck during early hardmode, and honestly all throughout it. Probably the most annoying hardmode enemy for me is probably the Wyvern since I like building tall builds and not finishing the roof.. That's on me though lol.
@@thebloodroze1597 They are even worst in a small world. You could legit just climb a mountain and you get a wyvern to spawn. its even worst during boss fights when you have to fly up to dodge and a wyvern spawns
the thumbnail made me think "wow that would make a really cool terrarium for a centipede", then I saw the spider. 10/10
I enjoy watching your 'problem solving' to get the result you demonstrate. The foam panels I saw in another of your videos is duplicated here and I really appreciate that simple solution, instead of using plaster of Paris that I initially thought was the medium! And using a spider available 'off the shelf' was a great idea also!
here's an idea for a model: a very armoured mech for the transportation of gold or cash assaulted by robbers. Or perhaps a classic train assaulted by robbers using fast and agile little mechs.
I'm absolutely thrilled by every single models you make. Keep it up!
For some reason the giant spider is REALLY afraid of short guys with hairy feet.
Gorgeous, so thematic. Might be my favorite one out of all your imaginary west dioramas.
I like to think the spider is like a sort of pet for the miners, maybe they feed it and it helps em dig? like a giant tunneling spider
I made a little short story on this Diorama.
"Unwelcomed Visitors."
One day, George and his miner friend James, decided to go mining. It's been 3 months since they last visited their old Cave back west of the Rockies. Since they were from California, it'd take them quite a while to get to where their mine shaft was. They would spend 3 hours driving. While on this 3 hour trip James had a bad feeling in his gut. Telling George that they shouldn't go to the mine today, James told him it was as if he needed to throw up, but never did. James being heavily religious took it as a sign that they shouldn't go to their mineshaft. But George didn't listen to him, mostly cause he went there 3 days prior to check up on stuff, and he knew that everything was fine.
After George and James finally arrived to their mine. They both took out their tools. James took the Pickaxe, flashlight, rope, and a 12-inch Bowie knife just in case there were any un-wanted things down there. George took a Pocket-Utility knife, flashlight, and some rope, with some gloves, as well as a small chisel and hammer. After they got their gear, they both started walking towards the mine entrance. James, with his gut feeling, got a little cold-feet. Telling George they really shouldn't go into the mine, and head back home to their families. But yet again George didn't listen.
As they started walking, up ahead they saw their Cart, elevator, as well a few tools. The place was littered with trash, weeds, and the occasional spider web, from wind and neglection. James went down the elevator down to what he some-what remember where he left off 3 months ago. He went to the rock-granite wall, and started mining, in mind he kept getting the creepy-crawlies. And no matter where he looked, he always had that gut feeling, that something was watching him from the shadows.
George started mining a brick-rocky wall a level above James. He hated spiders, as they'd always crawl on him, and bite him. He got bit 2 times by un-identified spiders. While mining, he had seen this white, lump of what seemed to be rocks. Little did he know, those rocks weren't rocks. They were spider eggs. Giant ones. As he mined he would feel a slight rumble. Ignoring it, thinking it was just an earthquake, he turned around, filled the cart, and started pushing it. Not looking behind him, a giant, black-grayish spider would creep up behind him. After loading the Cart, he would turn around to a horrific sight.
The spider pounced at him, eating half is body, all that remained would be his lower body. His waist, along with two, bloody legs. George, had been eaten.
James not hearing the ruckus above him, kept mining. Still feeling as if he was being watched. He got the feeling that he should leave. And this time, he acted on this feeling. He called the Elevator down, and rushed up to it. As soon as he was on the upper level, He saw the remains of his dead friend. Looking up from that, he would see the Giant spider. In shock, he stood still for a second, then he got his Barings. He had sprinted outside of the mineshaft, while crying over the fact that his friend, who he was friends with for over 14 years, got into his car. and had left everything there.
15 years later. He hasn't gone mining since.
Utterly horrifying. Poor George.
