Epoxy Resin keen

One thing that is surprisingly interesting to watch on you tube is people making things using Epoxy Resin. Epoxy Resin is a plastic that is prepared as a liquid and sets hard like acrylic and is usually clear like glass.

I would like to make a bar table with Epoxy resin that is a tribute to Commander keen games. I mentioned earlier in this blog that the 90s decade was a big part of my life and Commander keen was made for DOS in the 90s, it is a very smooth side scrolling game made in between Wolfstine, Doom,  and Duke Nukem by the same companies, apogee software and ID. 

I would make a 3D version of the top down quest map from 3 commander keen games, keen 4, 5 and 6. I didn't play the other 3 games.
I would then pour the epoxy resin on the maps, they would then look like they were embedded in glass. It should be a nice effect. It would also be up-lit from underneath. 

To understand what I am talking about I would suggest you look up "Epoxy Resin table" on you tube. 

The bar table would go in my man cave  called "Happy Zone" in the 90s game bar.
