DIY 3D Background for Apollo's enclosure w/Pics

[rafa2k]

I was walking around my garage on Friday and I stumbled across a full sheet of insulation. PROJECT TIME!!!

So I cut the 8' x 4' sheet to the measurements of the 40G breeder:



And with a little help from my kids, we started cutting out the designs:



Sanded them down to shape them a bit:



then added 4 or 5 coats of unsanded grout:



I didn't take pictures of the colored steps like a noob but after all the coats of grout and 2 coats of modpodge, this was the final project:



I cut up some plywood tonight and made a lid to mount the lamps and give me an access. Don't want him climbing up the new background and getting out.

What do you guys think?

I love those walls they came out really nice.

That pink foam is one of my all time favorite craft materials!
