And now that I know that it was YOU that was behind the awesome diorama at the entrance... That's just insane and a really cool behind the scenes.

I am 49 and new to modelling. I thought it would be a healthier way of dealing with my midlife crisis when it hits than some of the alternatives. Have to say this was an exceptional piece of art.

I've got a 3x3 foot Kessel (Star Wars) diorama that is probably 80% complete. It's been a struggle, mentally, to get it finished. Lighting is complete. 3d printing done. And the majority of the painting. Need to finish painting, weathering, and pouring resin. This was such a huge inspiration to get me going again, and finish it up. Thank you so much.

[@wookiejesusofnazarethkashy1940]

I'm just cutting out some foam while watching this to build a 1/12 scale Star Wars diorama of a maintenance tunnel with all sorts of pipes and cables and panels and machinery. Once I get the foam put together I plan to run some lights powered by 2 AA batteries and then start adding all the details. I got a Military Compound Terrain Crate by Manic that has tons of panels and other bits to add for details. It will be sold on ebay for someone wanting a dio for their Black Series or Figuarts figures once I'm done. It'll end up being in the area of 12x6x10 inches for reasonable shipping rates. Sounds like you're making one for gaming. I've never done a piece that large, but I bet it's a blast to make.

Very, very awesome, and I especially like the various small microscenes around the base. Took some pictures that I would be more than happy to share, but you guys probably have enough (and of better quality).

It's such a good idea to include a clock while you're working so that folks know just how much time and effort you can sink into a project like this.

Okay, so I’m super new to this side of art. Most of my focus has been like, drawing, sketching, writing, world-building, you know, that stuff. I didn’t realize epoxy was used in art though! Im currently a uni student studying applied physics with a focus in materials science. When we talk about epoxy, it’s usually as a ultra-high end composite matrix for things like aerospace, defense, high performance race cars, and occasionally high ends sporting equipment. Usually, we use unsaturated polyester or vinylester for things like boats, chemical storage, and large scale structures because it’s significantly cheaper. Never once though did we bring up art though! Yes, this is a bizarre thing to nerd out on, but now I can just write down another major application for epoxy resin :D
