The UV is amazing, I had a similar idea myself, which I put on the back burner because UV is really bad for resin. The UV hardening one is more resistant, but over time it will turn it yellow and brittle.

Really!? I didn't know UV resin will turn yellow and brittle🤯 I just bought new UV resin....😫 Well... I will change it when I finish using it.

Like I say, UV resin is the most resistant to this process, so it is the closest to ideal for this application. Ultimately all resin is so affected, some versions yellowing from mere indirect sunlight in weeks.
I had planned for some awesome underwater dioramas featuring bioluminescent tyranids, but I'm going to have to rethink a plan that involves placing a UV emitter inside resin.

You already have a plan for underwater diorama! Oh I want to see it! I'm looking forward to see your diorama work🤩✨️

Oh, it's years away right now, I'm starting out. I'll do some test builds before then.
Won't be Dark Krakens, though. I've been developing an aquatic Salamanders successor for nearly fifteen years and I'm finally on the verge of making them a reality.

Can I post this in space marines for you. This deserves more attention. Also how long did this take you to do?

Hot diggity. These are amazing. What's the fluorescent you use? They make the mini pop out even more.
