Default fake rock terrain

seen alot of these being done and made a plan for my 4ft converted fishtank which my crested gecko lives.

that cut may not look bad but i did do it with a slip of the saw so its quite deep.

any way so yesterday i continued with the building and i sorted the pictures out so here they are.

first i got the floor and the sides in

<a href="Tank0.jpg picture by m3t7y - Photobucket" target="_blank"><img src="http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx74/m3t7y/Tank0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

the branch is removeable for cleaning

<a href="Tank6.jpg picture by m3t7y - Photobucket" target="_blank"><img src="http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx74/m3t7y/Tank6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

then i fitted the small overhang at the back and textured the sides and floor
