Looking fantastic. Will be interesting to see how well the detail holds out against the grouting (I assume its to be grouted?).

Out of interest why are you paining some of it already? Again I assume its to be covered with grout?

Yes, we are going to grout! Also we haven't painted any of the viv so far! Could you be getting confused by the green styrofoam and the white polystyrene? The styrofoam is just more dense polystyrene which we used for strength - it only came in green, not that it really matters because as you said we are going to grout anyway?

This is abslutely fantastic.

I had an idea to do a "Chichen Itza" or "Machu Picchu" style design but never thought I could pull it off. It would never have topped this anyway!

I guess I am guilty of jus tlooking at the pics and not reading the rest!!

Its looking really fantastic anyway.

I wish I had one of those hot cutters, but I dont think I can warrent 50£ for a set.

ah ha but if you bought one you could finish the 3 vivs you have in no time and as long as you kept it in good condition you could prob sell it on ebay or here on RFUK and get a very similar price back for it!!!! though if your waiting for ours trust me you will have a long wait as we still have another viv to do after this one!

that was our original idea but the jungle surrounding it would have been a haven for crickets to hide in so thats why we didn't go for that, and then we remembered the scene from AVP and thought that was a brill idea!

You should give it a go! its good fun (well most of the time)!
