#WildImaginaryWest #ActionFigure #Diorama
This week, I was intending to make an action figure for my Wild Imaginary West, but things went a little awry. What I ended up with was a 1:12 sculpture with an expensive action figure trapped inside forever.

Leo rocks! Sometimes we learn as we go, like armature vs. a pricey mannequin. Most wouldn't admit, edit, or skip that insight, however you're honest transparency when showing your work is another benefit that keeps us tuning in, watching intently, re-watching, entertained, and telling others about your channel. Keep up the good work!

The "Cool Cowboy Pocket Handbook" sounds like something that would be aimed at any newcomer trying to get started in the WIW. Now available in the City Slicker Bundle from all reputable retailers! Old Leo here probably lumps it in with the lesser dime novels.

As ever, love the lore and Leo's backstory. He strikes me as one of those quiet people who pass unnoticed by their contemporaries but attain prominence sometime after their death. Perhaps later generations in what was the Wild Imaginary West will see Leo as a pioneering naturalist or famous amateur scientist.

@caitchri2426 3 ай бұрын

If you were wanting to hear a real life, story of an old, grizzled bear hunter- then look up The Sankebetsu Bear by Bob Gymlan. It is a retailing of a real story of a man eating bear in Japan, who got hunted down. Bob has a similar, soothing voice to Boylie.
