    All that's missing is Kurt Russel and a MAC-10.

    That's beautiful.

    So what's the trick to making objects safe to put in an aquarium and not kill the fish inside.

    i use apoxy made for zoos which wont hurt the fish if they pick at it no metal is used.The forms are made of plastic mesh then glassed once hardned i sculpt the texture with said epoxy.The buildings are made of acelic.

    That looks great! I've always loved how taking a few moments to look at my aquarium melts away the stress. Keeping up with cleaning...not so much.

    I love it! Great job. You should take photos of these buildings when they're submerged.
