I Put an Eel in Epoxy Resin

This week, I made a deep sea monster encounter featuring a giant Moray Eel and a scuba diver equipped with a retro diving helmet and harpoon gun. I used a miniature given to me by @TheCrafsMan.

    As a SCUBA diver, I particularly love this dioroma. One thing that I have noticed is that all of the dioramas I've seen no one has ever shown the air expelled by said divers rising through the water column. I think that doing so will add movement or action to ones dioramas. I do agree that your channel is in the top. 0001%.

    Absolutely right. Furthermore, everybody struggles to get rid of the bubbles when creating an underwater diorama, when in reality the bubbles in the water are everywhere.

    I thought that this would be the one time when you would want air bubbles in the resin. 🤔 Though I am not sure how to get them to appear to come from just the diver...🤷🏻‍♂️

    Ooh check out Thalasso hobbyer’s “Dog Lover and the Nightmare” video! He had a really neat technique for making bubbles trailing up from a diver. In his Far: Changing Tides diorama he also used a similar technique to add fish to the background, which was pretty neat as well. :)

    I have an idea for a diorama if you’re particularly interested... I think something along the lines of a cross section, showing the interior of a small cabin, decorated with wall mounted heads from monsters the owner has hunted. Maybe a “bear” skin rug, with some kind of unique creature playing the carpet. And if that’s not scary enough for you, you could add a small basement or wine-cellar with some kind of monster waiting for the hunters upstairs to go to sleep. Any way, great work. The stories you’re able to tell in these small dioramas are incredible and always captivating. I’m always excited, seeing a new post. Thanks.

    I really like it. I love that the water isn't too dark and doesn't seem to take away from the beautiful paint job and detail, like I have seen in so many others videos when they put all that great work into a diorama and pour dark blues or really mucky water colored resin and it always takes so much away from the hard work put into it. What I always thought would work better in some of the water diorama resin pours is to put a lip on the top of the plastic form then lay it on the back side and pour a layer on the back panel then do the same on both ends and then when those dry fill the rest with either clear or a lighter color pour. Then it seems you would still get the effects of the water but still be able to see the beautiful work put into the diorama. And maybe even a colored layer on top to finish it off. I don't know if that would work for sure but it seems like it would, what do you think my friend? But like I said the resin water in this one came out excellent to be able to see the beautiful work in it. Would like to hear your thoughts on the above. 👍👍👍

I’ve got a quick question though, could you make something similar to this but in a snow globe form. Like a dome of resin put on a base. Ik that would be REALLY hard to do the resin in a sphere shape. But still, could you try to make something like this as a snow globe!?
