#theabyss #diorama #epoxyresin
I'm a big fan of “The Abyss”, an American science fiction film from 1989 directed by James Cameron. Since most of the movie takes place underwater and I had an underwater diorama in mind for quite some time, the idea was born to create a diorama as a tribute to the movie. A total of 11kg of epoxy resin was poured. 22 neopixel LEDs provide the lighting for the butterfly-like alien creature, controlled by an Arduino pro micro so that all imaginable light patterns can be programmed. An HW-MS03 radar breakout serves as a motion detector. The diorama is far from perfect, but I've learned a lot along the way, and that's the most important thing, right?
