At the end of one heat's filming, they asked me to bring something to show off how water was done for the following week's heat. I built 6 dioramas at 3 different stages of completion but in the end we only used the finished diorama. It was great fun being challenged to build a small diorama in 3 days. The resin takes 24 hours to set so it was all about timing to get everything dried before I had to take it with me to the next heat.
