I cant get over how good this looks! The tree root is so realistic!

What will be going in the open floor areas? Bark chips or something?

I'm going to go for a more natural look. I'm thinking of soil/limestone gravel/clay mix (similiar to the 'tortoise substrate' stuff you can know buy) topped with a scattering of dead leaves (oak probably).

This'll give the skink a solid enough substrate, but one he can still dig into.

Cheers

Andy

I was thinking about it, unfortunately, in order to make these to order and cover materials and labour I would have to sell them in the region of £200-£300 depending on size and detail levels.

Not sure they'd 'fly out' at that!


Slightly updated pics - not done a lot recently but I have sealed it all, roughly painted the ends and added a few fake plants (not fixed yet)








Just electrics and substrate to go now!


Cheers

Andy

Thats amazing buddy

One of the best i have seen
I really like the two different looks with the poly and the exp foam
The colour shading is amazing too

Keep up the good work and get some pics when the rep gets into his/her new home

Mike
