Today I started with my 2.5 metre coastal's (Sammy's) enclosure which I've been thinking about starting for a while. I'm just posting this to get people's opinions and ideas and show the progress with the background. (Doing this will probably also encourage me to actually finish it haha)
This is pretty much what I started out with:
After being completely covered in expanding foam and the ledge being cleaned up:
I shaped big rocks into the background, semi-engraving edges into the foam. (you can't really tell in the picture)
Tomorrow, after work, I plan on covering with paper mâché like stuff too define the larger rocks, smooth everything out and give it some great definition. I then plan on, in later days, doing 2 coats of grout, painting shadows and highlights on with paint, and the doing another rough and thin grout layer to really finish it off (hopefully).
Cheers
