This diorama is a little different than my usual content. I grew up in Mongolia and wanted to build something inspired by that. Mongolia is an amazing country with a beautiful culture and heritage. I’m grateful for the opportunity I had to grow up there.

For the past year, I have been learning and practicing Mongolian throat singing. Through that time I have also learned a lot about the Mongolian people and their history.

This is truly outstanding, perhaps because it flowed from the heart, and also because it had a tangible feel of reality about it that Star Wars subjects do not. I am possibly the definitive Star Wars/Star Trek geek, but of all the models I have, I swear the one that speaks to me the most is of a London bus. This diorama has that same feel about it to me - wonderful work!

This is wicked...I love when a model becomes a telling of a personal story. I wish I had one from Alaska..but I was way too young. Its also really nice to see a change of style, trying something out of the norm. I can see the skills you learned in SW translated to here; metal dry brushing, environment and a new one like the detail pen the furniture! I love that idea.

That is such a fascinating life experience. Before COVID, my SO and I were talking about taking a 2-month trip to Mongolia. Last year we made friends with a guy who works for the National Parks now, but when he was in college he studied abroad in Mongolia and spent time in Ulaanbaatar while he was working on his degree in conservation. It's so cool!! I am curious if Boylei managed to learn (and then possibly forget) any of the Mongolian dialects...
