The creator showcases the process of making a massive 50-inch long, 23-inch wide, and 8-inch deep resin model of the epic battle between Hiccup, Toothless, and the Bewilderbeast from the "How to Train Your Dragon" movie. The creator begins by sculpting the Bewilderbeast using foam, clay, and steel rods, then paints and details it. They also create Beak Island using foam, gypsum powder, and 3D printing. To achieve the ocean effect, they use expanding foam, epoxy resin, and a grinder to create waves. The model is then completed with additional details such as a small village, houses, dragons, and an ice block.
