Another rock background in progress

I personally liked the other version just because of the color variety, but that looks fantastic, almost like a pic of an actuall fossile

LOL, different strokes for different blokes...

It's not really a new version, I just layered some warmer colors on top. I'm keeping a brown colored lizard in the enclosure so I think it would match better. Still not finished though!

DONE PAINTING!

Now I just need to find a way to seal it without ruining it.

Please note that the photo is different lighting from previous, hence less shadows.

Dang, the T-Rex really pops in the final version! I think it looks fantastic.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you create the T-Rex part? It's a lot more detailed than anything I've seen created as part of a background.

The T rex was a model kit bought at a toy store. I cut it in half and put it in the "rock" and painted it.

This is fantastic!

Looks great! You needed the contrast to make the skeleton pop. Nice! Did you model the skeleton or apply some kind of bought product?

Now that I've done T rex, if I make more enclosures I'd really like to do Spinosaurus aegypticus. Too bad there aren't any reasonable priced model kits out there that I'm aware of. But imagine this thing as the background in your enclosure:

As stated above, the skeleton was a model kit.

what material did you use for the rock background?

Using model kits is an awesome idea... And that Spinosaurus aegypticus is amazing.
