My First DIY Background

[HerpsNHarleys]

I am going to design three backgrounds a left side, a right side and a back so that only the front will be open to view. I will be housing my two mossies in the tank.

Here is the process and finished product for the left side:

Then on to the foam all in place

The tree which is hollow to allow my mossies to climb inside is added and painted

To the final product. Notice the giant "knot" in the tree. This is another access point. Once they climb to the top, they come out on a ledge:







I hope you enjoyed :biggrin:

I will add the other pieces as I get them done.
