You can't see her but the timber box has a female bredli in it.

Is that from scratch, and if so did you work from a plan?
Top job btw.

Yep from scratch.I just sort of wing it.The enclosure itself is just screwed together no glue.I knock them up in a couple of hours.The foam background is than glued in and just start throwing bits of foam at it.Than start cutting with the hotwire.I used a new product called foam coat it goes on thin and i just added some oxides to get the base colour.Than dry brushed different colours to add depth and texture to the rock.

Looks great, what kind of Hotwire do you use? I picked one up off eBay cuts foam well but no good at shaping and putting details into the foam.

This is the foam coat i bought you can get it in 3lb or 25lb.You can get an additive that makes it stick better to the foam.Also you can get containers of grit in course or medium to add texture.
