not Aquarium,still DIY. i know this is not for the tank,however i figure it;s still DIY though. :) this is what i did today,i still need to get tile grout,then i will be able to cover the grout with PVA and sand. polystirene(sp:roll:) for the big cave,two bits at 24inches long 2in thick. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC00996.jpg next i began to carve out the shapes i wanted,in the top and bottom. when put together to hold them in place is de-headed matchsticks. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC00997.jpg the bits left over from carving were stuck to the shell of the cave with PVA glue and de-headed matchsticks. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC00998.jpg once the big cave was done,well i figure i would do a couple more now i got the hang and a little confidence. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01002.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01009.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01010.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01012.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01011.jpg all i need now is the grout and sand. so i'll update again when i'm onto the second half of my little project. |

i must say,it is a little tricky,and i had to gauge carefully, well i've taken some more pictures,i hope that in the vivarium setting they will look better,sitting on the side board they look rather strange,and i wonder if they will be of any use at all. here they are. :oops: :lol: getting ready for the PVA and sand http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01014.jpg glue applied to the top and bottom of the cave. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01015.jpg put together and glued some moss around the shape. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01020.jpg this is the top half to the largest cave,all finished,just drying. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81...s/DSC01017.jpg |
That looks like a messy job, I don't envy you having to clear up after it :rofl: Looking good though, it's always a nice feeling to take the time making things rather than buy them from a shop. |
i was quite surprised that there was only a little mess on the floor, it was mainly sand,it gets everywhere lol. surprised as well at how heavy they are too. :-D |
