Beautyfull man, but one thing is missing to be perfect;) no mark after bomb which actually hit the target. Anyway great job!

[@Blockio1999]

Outstanding work, as per usual! Something that I've seen done before was letting the resin cure in layers, to eliminate the need for clear stands for depth charges; I can see that working quite nicely with your style, so that might be worth experimenting with if you decide to do a diorama like this again at some point

[@hubristicmystic]

Might reduce heat as well?

[@AmokCanuck]

I kind of liked the stands, they looked like the bubbles from them sinking

[@toddz8579]

You would need to be really careful not to end up with a visual boundary between the layers, though. It can be done, but I've had the misfortune of it happening in one of my projects.

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

@@toddz8579 as a diver, the visual boundary is often encountered in undisturbed waters: deep inlets, deep dives. There's no water movement, so the "layer" is the temperature difference.

[@hansihintersoos7581]

I love that you even thought about the light refraction between the depth charges and the water splashes at the surface, so that they don't align exactly. Awesome!

[@jimsedlock7637]

You noticed the parallax effect but the artist didn't 'think of it.' He built the depth charges and splashes aligned. The parallax effect from any view angle happens because the resin is denser than air in the same way water causes parallax. So much realistic detail, not many picked up on that effect but you and I did.

[@hansihintersoos7581]

@@jimsedlock7637 good to know, thanks for the explanation. I honestly thought the artist was a genius for considering the parallax effect. But even if it's just a natural coincidence the artist still remains a genius for building this stunning model
