Default Just wanted to share my Viv build...

Its made from recycled kitchen cupboards
Not too elaborate...just carpet flooring and a variety of hides. I made them pretty much the same because these guys were originally in together and the set up was like this...so i kept the same layout in order to reduce the stress of change of environment.


Lil's on the ground floor...


And Phil's upstairs! (still waiting for a backdrop though)


I plan to eventually make some nice sides to match the backdrop to cover the holes which were originally meant for holding shelves.

Thanks for looking!

Thank you...id say it probably took about 10 hours...but that includes a fair amount of messing bits up and having to re-do them. Plus i had to remove all the old iron on end tape as it was very tatty, and then put on new stuff.

If i'd used new wood, it would have been a lot quicker!

I will always build my own now i know i can get a reasonable result though!
