This is the terrarium background I started today. It isnt finished yet, I still have to add another coat of this color and add a few different colors. This background fits into a 10 gal aquarium. Attachments:

Very nice what materials are you using, I have been looking at a few of these lately and want to build a few.

May i ask how you are making it? with styrofoam and drylock then painted?
I always thought the 3d backgrounds look great, just nervous to try to make one scared my turtles will eat it and my bearded dragon enclosure would not work due to its lighting setup.

I started another one today. This one fits into a exo-terra (it measures 23''x23''). It is still wet in this pic so I will take another one when it dries. Attachments:

Mostly dry now, but still needs at least one more coat. Attachments:

I finally got around to finishing one of these rock walls. It didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to but not bad I guess. Attachments:

Thanks. I'm going to try a new technique that will eliminate that "painted" look giving the rock a more natural look.

Finished the Second one. This time I used a different technique. I think I like this one better. This fits into a 24x18x24 exo-terra terrarium. I will post pics when I get it all set up. Attachments:

They both look good but I have to agree with you that the second looks the best for the realistic look but I like the design and shape of the first one best!

Very nice, both of them are quite good IMO. I need to get working on mine, I have had the materials for so long but so busy lately.

I'm really busy right now with Christmas shopping, Christmas parties, and work. I could always just get one done and ship it to you if that works. |
