Backgrounds

This gets asked a lot, but I want a natural 3d background. I be willing to buy from a canadian seller, or make one. What do you guys use? How would I make one?

Re: Backgrounds

Someone referred me to lizard landscapes. Not sure if they sell or not, but they have a few tutorials for styrofoam and groute ideas. I'll be working on something myself when it's a little warmer and I can work outside. =)

Good luck!

Re: Backgrounds

I will be going all out and doing a piece that looks like Groot holding his hand up. There will be a dip in his head and hand that I can use to put plants or food/water dishes. =)

Going to draw it out first.

Re: Backgrounds



I made this one from foam panels, spray foam, silicone, a few rocks, and coco fiber.

Nothing anymore. But, my daughter kept a couple of fire bellied toads in there for a couple of years.

Re: Backgrounds

Check their forum they had someone ask about Canada shipping, you will definitely pay for it though.
