Pouring epoxy resin deeper doesn’t automatically make it look deeper.

In this build I created a 4.5cm deep resin sea as part of the sea/harbour board.

The thickness alone isn’t what makes it feel deep.

In this video I break down the structural design, layered tinting, surface texture and scale tricks that create the illusion of depth in miniature resin water.

Whether you’re building a wargaming board, diorama ocean, resin river or realistic shoreline terrain, these principles apply to any epoxy resin water feature.
