-->-- ''Official channel description''
[[https://https://www.youtube.com/@Boylei/featured Boylei Hobby Time]] is a Website/YouTube channel created by Caleb that revolves around dioramas of his "Wild Imaginary West" and aptly named "Fantasy Universe." In addition to these, Caleb also creates a variety of other dioramas with no interconnected stories or those from existing works, such as ''Franchise/{{Star Wars}}'' and ''Film/{{The Lord Of The Rings}}''.
----
!!Tropes appearing in this channel include:
* SigningOffCatchPhrase: Caleb almost always ends his diorama process with "And I called it good."
** A case can be made that at one point or another he also ''technically'' started ending his videos with "Huge shout out as always to my Patreons, you guys are the best."

[[folder:Fantasy Universe]]
* AnachronismStew: Lampshaded in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gjB8PD4Q18 "Giant Salamander Battle Diorama"]] where the knights agree that Caleb's horse name suggestions are good...but having no idea what Chocolate, Butterscotch, or Rootbeer is, misname their horses.
* BreathWeapon: So far every fantastical creature has breathed one element or another on their tin adversaries.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Dragons are ranked by difficulty...it just so happens that the difficulty of a dragon can be determined by their color.
* DragonHoard: Parodied slightly in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul2txjpql9E "Dragon Hunting Power Couple Fantasy Diorama"]] wherein the hoard is mentioned to be accumulated primarily through tax fraud.
* DragonsAreDemonic: It's not just the dragons but every giant lizard.
* TheDragonslayer: It's shown in "Dragon Hunting Power Couple Fantasy Diorama" Lucas and Gianna are both skilled Dragon hunters.
* DragonsVersusKnights: Other than the Frost Salamander, this is every Fantasy diorama to date.
* FierySalamander: Inverted. The salamander in "Giant Salamander Battle Diorama" actually a ''Frost'' Salamander.
* KnightInShiningArmor: So far, all the fantasy dioramas feature one or more of these magnificent men.
* WordOfGod: Played for laughs in "Giant Salamander Battle Diorama" where Caleb's suggestion to the knights are essentially ''literal'' words of (a) God.

[[folder:General Content]]
* CallBack: During his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbd4G1FzjAk "Swamp Tour Gone Wrong"]] video, during the storytelling, Caleb references the Skunk Ape, a creature from his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZegQsXUqb3c "Don’t Sleep in a Swamp | Skunk Ape Diorama"]] video.
* CoolAirship: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSo1EE0pZnc One of Caleb's diaroma's is this]]
* HostileAnimatronics: While not confirmed to be active or even sentient in any way. The titular Freddy from [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys ''Five Nights at Freddy's'']] appears in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm8WTdl1Z9Q "Five Nights at Your Local Hobby Store"]]
* JollyRoger: Averted. Despite making a Battle-on-the-High-Seas between pirates, neither ship sails the Jolly Roger.
* RobotBuddy: In "Swamp Tour Gone Wrong" one of Caleb's friends is portrayed as an [[TinCanRobot endoskeletal version]] of this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Original Star Wars Content]]
NOTE: Many of Caleb's works in this series are reproductions of the Star Wars franchise. This includes the list of tropes that appear solely in ''his'' works:
* AerithandBob: Tim of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6xnYo-ryEw Tim's Outpost]] is a good example of this trope. Much like Luke or Finn in a world of Palpatines and Obi-Wans.
*AlternateTimeline: Only a couple:
**While not stated to be a divergence point for the whole of the ''Star Wars'' series Caleb started, his ''Tantive IV'' diorama shows it trisected on a desert planet. This differs from the canon fate of the ''Tantive'' in which it was obliterated completely by Imperial Star Destroyers before it could ever touch down.
** The Death Star II is showcased mid-firing. In the source material, the Death Star II never actually gets the chance to fire on anything.
* CrossOver: Caleb created one of his podracers in a weird version of this with other diorama creators, such as; Studson Studio, Eric's Hobby Workshop, Bill Making Stuff, and Scratch Bashing.
* FictionalSport: Taking inspiration from The Phantom Menace, Caleb has constructed not one but ''two'' different podracer dioramas.
* SpaceClothes: Inverted by Tim, who looks like he just got off from his nine to five.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Wild Imaginary West]]
* AllDesertsHaveCacti: Averted. Surprisingly, despite literally ''dozens'' of opportunities to include cacti, Caleb has not ''once'' used a cactus in ''any'' of his dioramas.
* AlternateTechline: A prominent feature of Caleb's Wild Imaginary West. The most prominent piece of technology is the Forestall, a [[EveryDeviceIsASwissArmyKnife multipurpose machine]] that generates power, routes hostile creatures, and allows for two-way communication.
* BadassLongcoat: A number of random characters can be seen wearing one of these. Most notable is the unnamed [[ItMakesSenseInContext Cyborg Horseback rider]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ7xuKKsRso "How Does the Average Joe Survive the Wild West?"]].
* BadassNative: Featured in a few dioramas but most prominently in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgVxPrGyDes "Giant Centipede vs. Native War band."]]
* BadassPreacher: The preacher in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VNwxYJFKJg My Western Town | Building 5]] doubles as a monster hunter.
* BootsOfToughness: Averted, despite being a western staple, this trope essentially never appears. This is likely due to the companies that produce the miniatures focusing on an overall historically accurate appearance.
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: An unintentional side effect of the miniatures companies' desicions to uphold this trope.
* ChickenWalker: One of the types of mechs showcased in the Wild Imaginary West. These types are known in-universe as PIPERS or in some regions as Dowitchers.
* CoolHorse: The cowboy in "How Does the Average Joe Survive the Wild West?" has a horse with a cybernetic limb for the added cool factor.
* CrapsackWorld: It would actually be quite a nice life if it wasn't for all the hyperlethal megafauna stalking the lands west of the Mississippi River.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first Wild Imaginary West diorama: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXKN_KTKOeI "Wild Imaginary West | Mine Diorama"]] was an attempt to play it straight with the [[GenreMashup Sci-fi/Wild West genre]]. The astronaught Pinkertons ultimately didn't stick and to this day, remains the only diorama with this level of jarring genre blending.
* EvilWearsBlack: Averted. There are plenty of outlaws and bandits but they're dressed same as anyone else.
* GiantSpider: Featured twice, once in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWBWvLAdvrg "Spooky Gold Mine With An Unwelcome Guest"]] and again in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ceIAq_6Hjw "Trapdoor Spider Ambushes Unsuspecting Miners"]], though different species from one another.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: There are plenty of mechas throughout the Wild Imaginary West, and whilst they have an in-universe purpose, they're really just there to look awesome.
* TheMagnificentSevenSamurai: Inverted and deconstructed in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYXUd-oTf14 "My Western Town | Building 6"]], in which the town hired the Pinkertons to help drive off the monsters of the Wild West. This ultimately leads to the Pinkertons moving in permanently, setting up shop, and using their power to influence politics in the town.
* AMechByAnyOtherName: There are four types of which only two are named: The PIPER and the MULE varieties.
* ProtectThisHouse: Averted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G98QBd-mD6g "Little House on the Prairie Monster"]] where a giant monster has simply taken off with the person's house completely.
* QuestToTheWest: Several:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfGRx4vvlSw "MECH WAGON | Expanding my Wild Imaginary West"]] sends a prospector westward for easy riches.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gWPpMwVEyA "Train Robbery | Wild Imaginary West"]] sees the Railroad comapanies head westward for profit. This is expanded on much later in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehgQwSZ-aFw "Customizing My HO Scale Model Train"]] and it's follow-up video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrOcG9Vh7cM "Building a Realistic Imaginary Mountain Railroad"]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YohgTVvxlcQ "Wild River Crossing | Wild West Diorama"]] which is just about an exact rehashing of the Oregon Trail.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6TUejejdVg "Monster of An Underground Lake Epoxy Resin Diorama"]], Caleb mentions the protagonist of the diorama, Leo, traveled West once he was old enough.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtHYeA24YYI "They Hired a Private Army to Protect This Dig Site"]] takes this to the extreme by seeing Europeans come to America and head straight into the dangerous West.
* TheSavageSouth: Just about every crevace and water-way in, and west of, the Mighty Mississippi is teeming with hyperlethal megafauna waiting to squish a passer-by.
* SettlingTheFrontier: This trope is essentially the entire concept of "Wild River Crossing | Wild West Diorama." It is all but implied to be the case for the "My Western Town" series.
* ShowdownAtHighNoon: While [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPSmZB3W5uw upgrading his first big project]] Caleb decides to create a "Classic high-noon duel."
* TrainJob: Possibly inverted, "Train Robbery | Wild Imaginary West" is otherwise this.
* WalkingTank: Every mech in the Wild Imaginary West is this.
* WeirdWest: This is effectively the entire premise of Caleb's "Wild Imaginary West" series. Ranging from fantastical beasts all the way to technology a century and a half ahead of it's time. All wrapped up nicely in the form of the Wild West of course.
* WesternRattlers: Lampshaded by Caleb in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZOEDWcpQ4I "These Monster Hunters Don’t Stand a Chance"]] where he acknowledges that not only is the snake ''not'' a rattlesnake but that he intends for it to be one. He then proceeds to paint on the hallmark diamonds.
