Cool display

I got this cool pocket watch display from my grandad.

That is bloody awesome 😍

Wonderful! Now I'm wondering, "How'd they get all the pieces to suspend throughout the resin like that?" 🤯

That’s incredible.

·

Awesome, I want one 😍

I've seen one of these before and I still can't figure out how they do it without any bubbles in the finished block. It looks great 👍

I've always liked those exploded views of items as wall art and this just takes it do an extra dimension.

Yeah, that's the tricky bit, I think.

Maybe they waited for it to semi-set and then put all the pieces in? IDK, just guessing.

Very cool indeed.

Seems like Grandad is a rad fellow!

Layers upon layers upon layers. Pour a layer with a piece, let it set, pour another layer and add some more parts, let set, repeat.

I would think that would leave lines between the layers. Very cool! 😎

Maybe they don't let it dry fully and put the part in "while it's still wet" but I am just speculating.

At first I thought it was a watch freshly returned from factory service.

That is super cool.
