After seeing so many beautifully modeled explosions and fiery effects in dioramas here on YouTube, I was motivated into making one. I've built that little Bandai kit in the past and and thought it'd make a great subject for an explosion effect diorama.

I opted to use resin, rather than the popular cotton/fiber technique though. I felt as though the plastic surface of resin would fun to paint. I learned a lot making this, and there's a few things I'd do differently if I did it again but overall I'm happy with the result.
