Terror of the Deep Sea | Epoxy Resin Diorama
343,880
Published 2023-10-29
This week, I made a diorama of a deep sea diver going a little too deep and running into a Giant Dragonfish. I'm a slow learner when it comes to resin, so the first attempt at this diorama failed due to user error. I decided to remake it and I’m gift the second iteration to one of my subscribers!

Watching a professional hit a snag with the resin pour inspires me to push on! Another great work of art. Thanks, Boylei!
-
The second one might be clearer but the first has the more uber deep water spooky vibe. Both look great!
-
Despite the first one turning out 'wrong' I like the way it looks. The air bubbles give it an air of mystery and terror. Great job as always! This is one of my favorite channels to watch, it's so relaxing.
-
I think the bubbles almost make the first one far spookier, like the bulk of the sea dragon being obscured leaving most of it up to imagination an the light reflecting all around looks so cool. I can't wait to see more sea creatures in the future, keep it up. 👍
-
As someone who dives in areas that regularly have bad visibility, the first one really delivers on the spooky feeling that something might be out there just past your range of vision.
-
Even when you do it “wrong” you do it right, the first model really captures the vibe of being deeeep underwater
-
As a retired SAT Diver I can truly appreciate that feeling of the unseen at lightless depths. Absolutely diggin it! Well done Sir!
-
It can't just be me that think the bubbles on that big one actually make it look way more awesome? The clearness of the little one doesn't have the same crazy deep dark underwater vibe... I'd call that first one a major success!
-
Honestly the bubbles make the original diorama extra spooky, I love the atmosphere of that one! So impressive that you can turn around and build a second one, that takes a lot of determination. And for what it's worth, I always share your videos, I think your work is fantastic.
-
Even though the first model turned out “bubbly” I still think it gives a sense of eeriness that one would find at the bottom of the ocean. Thank you for all the wonderful videos!
-
I think that both look awesome! The first one is definitely more spooky and has a Thalassophobia mood to it, and the second one looks pristine and crisp! Edit: I just shared this with a friend of mine, he loves the way the first one looks!
-
Watching you use the sculpting techniques of North of the Border and Craftsman was such a delight! It's so much fun to see you guys rubbing off on one another. It really gives even more inspiration that we can learn from one another and get better and even adapt techniques to our own styles. Both of the fish look pretty awesome, and resin troubles aside, these are great projects!
-
Ohhh…so sorry about that first build!!! You, however, exemplify how important the journey is, and I’m inspired by your perseverance combined with your patience and humbleness. I love this video! Thanks Boylei!
-
I'm currently in the midst of my first ever resin pour. It's on its 2nd day of curing and it is nerve-wracking checking it each morning for leaks or to see if it is even setting. It's comforting to know that even someone as experienced as you, Boylei, can have problems with it. It means I don't have to beat myself up as much when it inevitably goes wrong
-
I love the deep water spooky vibe of the first one. And I love the wild imaginary west. It’s so creative.
-
Even with bubbles, the first one still looked so good! I'd love to make dioramas like these one day.
-
I love the spooky vibe of the first one. It reminds me of actual deep sea footage and you were definitely correct when you called it good.
-
The sculpting on the diver was very impressive! Well done as always!
-
I'm always in awe with the level of detail you are able to achieve with the miniatures you use. Keep up the awesome work!
-
it absolutely warms my heart that Boylei not only shouts out other creators, but then links the ones who have channels and videos in his own video description box. This is how you build a community!
