Hello dear friends and welcome back to my Channel,

For this project I have created a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch diorama lamp inside epoxy resin.

In order to create this diorama I have first used my lathe to shape the rocket from wood. Then I have painted the rocket with acrylic colors.

I have made the rocket's launchpad from epoxy resin and then created the exhaust gases by gluing small cotton balls.

At the bottom of the rocket I have glued a 3V Led Light which operates with
one watch 3V battery.

Finally I have made a small base from wood, made the necessary electrical wiring connections and called it good.

I have finished this project with 2 attempts. The first attempt failed due to some bubbles coming out of the cotton balls during couring because probably I didnt shoak/seal the cotton balls well enough with resin. So I had to start all over again from scratch. The first half of the video up until the resin pouring shows the first attempt and the second half ,after the curing, shows the final and successful…
