From previous experience the stain is best applied with one of those cheap looking foam rollers, it gets in all the timber, usually I stain around an inch or 2, where the enclosure will be hard to get to but it is not a must. just have to bruch in the corners.
But your set up is coming along really well.
 
Making progress!

Finally had some time over easter to do a little more on the little guy's future enclosure!

Final carve of the polystyrene:

I put the first coat on reasonably thin, just trying to cover absolutely everything. The next coat was super thick and I put it down a nice and heavy. I can’t believe how strong it is now! I might do a thinner 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] coat and try to smooth it off a little, the surface is very coarse now. Will help the little guy shed I hope ;) Really happy with how it's come up so far. Will give the ol' warhammer paint job a crack too, see how realistic I can get it.

Once I figure out how to get these pictures up properly, I'll post some progress. This forum seems very fussy about how you upload pics!

It's been too long, here's a finished pic

And this is how it came up! LED lighting above the window (that I need to dim, it's a bit bright) and Mr Fluffy exploring the cave. He just shed today too! I have a funny feeling Mr Fluffy is actually Mrs Fluffy, but that's another story. Starting to get big now, time to up the feed size.
