For 50 seconds of every 3 minutes it will rain on the Xanadu_1 diorama. The rain comes via a 12V Vauxhall Corsa windscreen washer pump from a reservoir below the base. To make sure that the diorama doesn’t completely flood, and to ensure a return of water to the reservoir, there is a series of discreet drainage holes dotted strategically around the surface. These drain holes empty into the reservoir via a seemingly chaotic series of tubes hidden on the ‘ugly’ side of the piece.
