    We built an alien lake on the T’au Manta Warhammer diorama. We thought that the diorama wasn't heavy enough, so we decided to make a mysterious and forgotten Tyranid alien lake on it - adding 15 pounds of resin! Eager to see what we put in the water?

    You could have some UV lights built into the Manta that shine onto the lake to light up the uv paint!

    Don't forget to sand and polish the side of the resin cast to remove the layer lines a bit

    • @youtubevanced4900
      @youtubevanced4900 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Came to say this. Was going to suggest testing it on a piece somewhere else first to make sure it's possible since I don't know much about resin pouring. Those layers really need to be removed if possible though. It really takes away from the final result.

    • @tukuiPat
      @tukuiPat 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      ​@@youtubevanced4900 yes you can sand and polish resin to get rid of the lines from the separate pours.

    • @d-emprahexpects849
      @d-emprahexpects849 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Came here to suggest the same. My guess is they want to build the most of the diorama and then polish the rough edges of it as a final step.

  • @nicholasbira2817
    @nicholasbira2817 2 ปีที่แล้ว +232

    Are you going to sand the outer surface? That will make the clarity of the underwater look much more vibrant and clear, I highly recommend wet-sanding the outward facing edge of the resin to be continuous and without molding lines. It looks amazing otherwise though!

    The amount of patience and persistence to keep on working on this project is amazing. I have a hard time working on more than one mini a week. Here you are making a diorama that would barely fit on the dining room table with meticulous attention to detail. The whole project is very impressive and I can't wait to see it finished.

    Love the sponsor this week. It's great to see companies that provide products for the high quality builds you provide. I have used them in the past and wondered if you would eventually find their amazing sculpts. 3d printing has opened up new customization that was unobtainable to the average hobbyist. Keep up the amazing work, it's nice to see this kind of progressive work instead of a start to finish approach for each video.

    @eloiseatkins6603 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for sharing the process, looks amazing. Just a bit of insight perhaps for you to try in the future, instead of using a jigsaw you can use a steel ruler, score/scratch using a Stanley knife or blade on the acrylic where you want the cut. Place the acrylic on a table edge - the scored/scratched area on the edge of the table - pressing down on the floating side of the acrylic, this will cause the acrylic to snap off perfectly on the scored/scratched area. (Use it or not, great content.)
