I started with epoxy, but did polyester for the next one which worked just as well
First I applied a layer of resin on the bottom, thickness here doesn't matter. Then painted the first layer of the fish, fins primarily, and belly and head, second layer was if you took another cross section slice, this incorporates more lighter colors, this middle layer you can do more than just one. Final layer are just extra light paints to make the shine. Each layer is painted, let dry, and the a small layer of resin is poured over the top. Critical thing here is to keep everything dust free, you get a cat hair in there, its in there for good.
It takes your brain a few tries to wrap your head around the shading and the layers, I was really excited to try it, and it gave me even more respect for the artists that are good at it.
