    Styro foam rock wall finish and installed into terrarium

    Hey finished this about 2 weeks ago and just wanted to see what everyone thought of it. Thanks for looking.

    The whole styro foam rock wall. That PVC pipe will be cut down later and will be 1 of the 3 humidity foggers that will be inside the terrarium.

    This is the vent on top of the rock wall in the middle of the terrarium.

    Close up of the bottom of the terrarium and where the humidity mister on the floor will be located.

    Thanks for looking and let me know what you think. The bottom right will show some missing rocks and that will be where the rock hide made the same way will be. I would have included the hide but it needs to have the coloring changed to match the rock wall.

    Thanks but I can lie even though I would love to take credit...lol, but besides placing it in the tank and coating it, the build and paint job is all credit to my wonderful Wife.

    Thanks. It is quite simple for the build part. I think the coloring is the most timely and difficult thing involved, especially for me cause Im color retarded...lol. So luckily I had my Wife do it all, shadows, highlights, lowlights and midtones. She is way more artsy then I could ever be. I can build it but she definately creates it. So when I get a chance I will get with her to help me do a how to. And is there a section for a 'how to'?

    I know right. The wifey is pretty good and it actually looks better in person. She was pissed that I took the pics myself. She said I made it look like crap...lol.
