SUBMARINE PASSING THROUGH MINES DIORAMA-Epoxy Resin Art

Hello dear Friends and welcome back to my channel,

In this episode I have made a diorama showing a submarine passing through naval mines.

For the submarine I have used the Revell plastic kit “U Boat type VII C” with a scale 1:350.

I have made the naval mines from polymer clay and black wire. Finally, I have created the diorama inside epoxy resin. For the sea surface I have used first an application of Gell Gloss Medium and then created the surf of the waves with transparent and white silicone.

Initially I have tried to harden the chains with UV resin but they are so tiny that uv resin couldn't harden them enough and the chains were bending. I also thought to place the sub/mines on different layers of resin but usually there is a visible line between the layers and I didn't want this. Finally I also thought to hung everything from the top with a tiny thread (like I have done in my hot air balloon , jellyfish and galaxy videos) but the chains/mines were so tiny/light and it would be very difficult for them to sink inside the resin and keep straight only by gravity 😖.

So I have used cylinder resin stands for the first time in the hope that they would be invisible once inside the epoxy resin. Unfortunately, they are a little visible so this idea didn’t work out very well. I think next time I will reduce the diameter of the stands in the lathe as much as possible. Probably if they are very thin this will make them invisible but of course I will not know for sure until I try this. I guess many times we learn through trial and error and that’s ok by me.😊

I hope that you will enjoy this DIY video.

Until next time I wish you all the best,
