A prehistoric ocean, sealed in epoxy resin.
We recreated a Mesozoic diorama with marine predators, ancient plants, and an architectural museum capsule.
Each layer was poured by hand — depth, transparency, light, and motion were refined to perfection.

We’ve taken on another project with a religious theme — and the 3D modeling is already done. You can see the result in the preview below.

This will be an extremely challenging diorama to bring to life, and we love it for that. Some parts of the build are still a mystery to us — but it’s exactly the kind of creative challenge we enjoy.

Smash those likes and we’ll start revealing some of the secrets behind this diorama.

Another epoxy masterpiece. We pulled off a smooth gradient from deep blue to forest green.

Thanks to everyone who voted!

The idea that got the most votes was #2 — Indominus Attack from Jurassic World 🦖

We’re starting the modeling process now and will definitely share the source files with you so you can print it yourself.
If you're interested in buying a finished version of the diorama — just let me know in the comments or send a message, and we’ll get in touch!

10 Essential Epoxy Resin Tips for Deep Pours

1. Use the right resin
Pick epoxy made for 4" (10 cm) thick pours. Regular resin can overheat and turn cloudy.

2. You can pour up to 8" (20 cm) in one go
But only in a freezer at -0.4 °F (-18 °C). Gradually raise the temp over 2 weeks. Measure the resin’s temp directly.

3. Hide the layer lines
For layered pours, make sure the front face is either the first or last layer so that seams are less visible.

4. Seal everything first
Apply clear varnish on all painted or porous areas. This stops paint from dissolving and forming cloudy patches.

5. Watch the room temperature
Ideal: 68–77 °F (20–25 °C). Hot temps cause boiling, cold delays curing.

6. Line your mold
Use resin release film or even packing tape. Makes demolding way easier.

7. Don't polish raw resin
It scratches super easily. Better to sand and coat it with something protective.

8. Let it fully cure before sanding
Wait at least 48 hours. Wet sand up to P1500 grit for a clean surface.

9. Use a 2-part clear coat
Automotive-grade sprays work best. One-part sprays crack over time.

10. Don’t use heat guns on large pours
To remove bubbles, use a resin-safe spray instead. Heat tools may damage the surface.

This week, I’ll be diving into all the amazing ideas you’ve shared — picking out the most interesting ones and adding some thoughts on how they could come to life. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed — there’s a lot of creative potential in there.

At the same time, I’m working on the script for a new video. It’s a diorama inspired by Attack on Titan — specifically the transformation scene. I’m putting my own spin on it, focusing on realistic anatomy, detailed scenery, and a strong visual story.

Right now I’m writing the voiceover and figuring out how to balance the visual pacing with some behind-the-scenes insights. I want the final video to feel both immersive and informative.

How’s your week going? Working on any creative projects — or maybe picking something up that’s been on pause for a while?

Let’s vote on the next diorama project!
You shared tons of amazing ideas — I’ve picked 5 of the most popular and vivid ones. Now it’s time to choose what I’ll bring to life next:

1. Fear of the Basement
A kid bolts up the stairs after turning off the basement lights — something huge and terrifying is lurking just behind in the shadows.

2. Indominus Attack
A scene from Jurassic World: the Indominus Rex drops her camouflage and ambushes the ACU team, lifting the team leader high into the air.

3. Cthulhu Rising
A ship is caught in a storm as massive tentacles emerge from the deep. The old god Cthulhu is back — and it’s going to be brutal.

4. Midnight Ritual Gone Wrong
A group of teens messes around by a lake, candles lit and spellbook open. They’re half-joking — but something is really starting to stir under the water...

5. Witch’s Revenge
A 1600s New England witch brews a deadly curse from grotesque ingredients. Mist swirls, smoke rises — and her vengeance is about to begin.

👍 Like the ones you’d love to see — the top idea will become a full diorama build!

Thanks for the awesome support, folks — as promised, here’s what happened during my very first resin pour.

Quick pro tip: Always seal everything under the resin with a varnish coat (One-component automotive varnish). The varnish creates an insulating layer that is completely invisible after pouring, but it protects the most important thing — acrylic paint.

Why does this matter? Because resin can dissolve acrylics. Ever seen those weird cloudy stains inside resin? That’s the paint reacting and bleeding out. The color "goes" into the resin, and then a ghostly haze remains in this place.

So yeah… don’t skip the clear coat step. Trust me.

If you’re interested, I can also put together a post with the Top 10 mistakes people make when working with resin.
1,000 likes and I’ll drop it. Let’s go!
