building a realistic enclosure for my sons leo

so my sons new leopard gecko so i am using my old tank to build him a realistic enclosure. I am using styrofoam insulation sheets cut and carves to look like rocks, corvered in sand less grout and then painted with acrylic/grout mix. this is my first attempt at this so we will see how it goes.
