I've never done a step by step before.

Well here goes a first. Built tho in two days.

[Tyguy35]

2 sorry is won allow me to post In one message

[Mikoh4792]

wow that looks pretty good.

[sweatshirt]

Nice! =) Looks good.

[Tyguy35]

3 the painting process. Drylok with acrylic black.

[Tyguy35]

Adding some more drylok to add different shades of grey. And siliconing each piece in.

[Tyguy35]

And the finished product. Just have to wait a month then I will add some crested geckos.

[Tyguy35]

Forgot to put he pic in

[Mikoh4792]

That looks amazing. Looks like one of those zoo enclosures.

I have a question. If your geckos/any animal for that matter poops or pees in those crevices how will you clean them? Will you just make a new background?

[Tyguy35]

I have a few backgrounds like this it actually comes off very easy. I will clean it with this scrubber tool I have. And a tad of vinegar

[Amadeus]

Looks very good!

[Tyguy35]

Thank you.

[Mark Taylor]

That's sweet looking.

[sharthun]

Wow! great work!:cool:

[Pareeeee]

Wow nice build!

[smy_749]

This is one of my favorite DIY backgrounds. Very nicely done mate.

[Tyguy35]

Thanks appreciate it. I have a few more like this but not as nice. I try to sell them but people make offers like 50 bucks, so I just keep them.

[Tyguy35]

Here's the other

[Tyguy35]

And the other I don't have a pic of the one I sold sadly.

[Mark Taylor]

They are brilliant looking.

[Tyguy35]

Thank you. This is the first forum I have been on where people have actually said something about my vivs. Thanks alot.

[Mark Taylor]

You are:) welcome keep them coming it gives people an idea on what can be achieved:)

[beardeds4life]

I love our first one. That looks a little like one I am building right now.

[Tyguy35]

Thank you, I will keep them coming if I can afford it haha. I need to find the pictures of my first one I ever built it was so simple but so awesome.

[hylia]

Those are amazing. I wish I had the skills to build something half as nice as those. I hope that you keep sharing pics as you build more.

[Pareeeee]

Amazing! Makes me want to give it a whirl.

[Tyguy35]

I will forsure share when I build. Honestly though it is not to hard the first pic was on a whim. I did it in two days.

[smy_749]

don't tempt me. I know what will happen if I start trying arts and crafts. I will lose a finger, glue my hand to the glass, catch my beard on fire, ruin the carpets, and after throwing out all the pieces I messed up, have nothing left to build with.

[Tyguy35]

Believe it or not I actually screwed up the first one. I couldn't remember where all the pieces went so I randomized. I also got silicone everywhere. Silicone is my enemy.

[Tyguy35]

Ha I found my first one ever.

[Tyguy35]

Vampire (geosesarma sp.) crabs in this one I built.

[Mark Taylor]

I don't know which 1 I like best lol very cool. I do like the water features in the last one:)

[Amadeus]

Vampire (geosesarma sp.) crabs in this one I built.

Water in very cool.

[Tyguy35]

There is a water feature in three just hard to see in the pic.

[Mark Taylor]

There is a water feature in three just hard to see in the pic.
