According to Ken Adam's book, the clear (PVC?) waterbed was of american manufacture, but with time constraints being what they where, he had no way of "modifying" the bed so as to include fish (I am assuming he was refereing to some of the really LARGE fish seen on film). He therefore added a series of circular hard (plastic?) aquariums surrounding the bed that served as the bulk of the "effect".
I have wanted one of these for years! In fact, I believe they would sell like crazy if produced commercially....I would be anxious to know of any progress you may make.....
In the meantime: "Smooth-on.com" is a wonderful source for every plastic imaginable; you've unknowingly seen their products in countless films (the giant sheet of "ice" Bond drove the Aston Martin Vanquish through in "Die Another Day" was breakaway "glass" called "Smash!" plastic from Smooth-On....
They have a variety of clear materials that MIGHT be suitable to castings for this purpose. Also: there is a large "walk on water" ball manufactured of clear plastic that I BELIEVE might be pvc (similar, ironically, to the "water walker" mylar device 007 used to "walk" to the oil rig near the end of "Diamonds Are Forever"), so oversized sheets of tough & transparent plastic "should" be available.
Sidebar: In the spirit of "nothing succeeds like excess", I'd wager a bed even slightly LARGER than the one shown in D.A.F. would be even more desirable...
