The marine-zone (shown here for illustrative purposes with size and area to be confirmed) is of blue-tinted acrylic sheet which stands proud of the model on metal legs.

The 3d-model shows a 3-times vertical exageration.

The model will be constructed of 25mm layers of polyurethane foam, sanded, filled and painted. A blank profile which follows the slope of the sea floor will be cut for each of the sides of the model to present a clean face to the viewer.
