😁Just jumped on to say the same thing. Bubbles in an aquatic setting aren't errors. They are atmosphere :) Great job having been meaning to have a go at something similar for a while.
For your basing glue (watered down PVA), try adding some isopropyl alcohol or a few drops of dishwasher rinse aid (JetDry) or even a couple drops of dishwashing liquid. This will reduce the surface tension of the water and help the basing glue to spread all over the place. Alcohol is probably more cost effective than the rinse aid and much more effective than the washing up liquid.
If you want to spray your watered down PVA glue over your terrain there are a few routes you can take. Firstly, you can use a spray bottle. Premix your pva and water mix and put it in the bottle. If you’re using this method you can use traditional spray bottles or you can use an aerosol spray kit which comes with a bottle and a can of compressed air that will aerosolise the watered down PVA. Secondly, you can water down your PVA and apply it with an airbrush that has a larger nozzle size. If you’re doing larger areas you can use a spray gun. You can add some ipa to break surface tension. Use a heat gun or fan on a very low setting being careful not to damage your models or terrain. Lastly, you can use spray adhesive or even hairspray. You can use the spray adhesive or hairspray and dry it with a heat gun or fan on a very low setting being extra careful not to damage or burn your model. Hope this all helps. Great video.
The bubbles on the diver looks natural actually like the colour effect that you can see the fish in the middle in one direction dor see his face area as for the beholder hermit crab yeah eeek but over all considering it looks awesome
Perhaps if you paint the miniatures with some resin first so it traps the are and lowers the surface detail that might trap air. Plus I would always pour from on corner :)
Perhaps it would have done less bubbles if you didnt pour from too high. You can also increase the curing time by putting the diorama in a cold place (fridge or cooler), giving more time to the bubbles to escape. And the rule no1 with epoxy is to not cheap out on it. Most of the epoxy are made at the same place and the cheaper ones are just more risk for failure
24:00 I think the bubbles coming out of the dive suit is such a cool little detail

Know it all
@dextersamson8286 uummm... thank you?
That looks amazing, and the bubbles coming from the diver looks fantastic too even if unintended!
Bubbles of the frogmen...that looked natural! Because that looked like the bubbles the helmet could release when breathing!

The murkiness of the blue really worked for me. Made it darker not being able to see the big threatening fish in the center clearly.
before you seal the sand etc with watered down pva, spray isopropanol alcohol over it first and the pva water mix will spread everywhere

Awesome job for a first time deep pour mate 👍
That looks great! :D
Love seeing your face man! And your cam setup is great!
The bubbles just add to the diver. Looks awesome sir!
Very cool
Absolutely brill 😀
Could be cool to do one of the levels on your display sets to be deep ocean and use these bits. Make it below the dungeon levels.

Awesome diarama 🔥🔥🔥
What happened to the Uniformation printer?
What orange is the crabby?
Next time you want to set fire to a mini, you know where to come 😉
Haha yup, I just wish I had been filming at the time lol 😂
