Looks pretty cool. How about a little bit about how you did the display base. It looks like the ice may be parafin wax.

This is just excellent work and is an interesting and different setting. Fine work on the sub itself, and the ice and water look like the real deal. Kudo's on this one.

Great looking dio, the ice effect is great.
You probably should not place this one near a radiator!

Boy Dimitris, that is some beaut work! The composition is quite realistic. I think the average joe modeller even with all the same components/ingredients you used would struggle to replicate it so effectively. Did you work from photos?
Great stuff
