Default leo vivarium

i recently decided to get another leopard gecko (not really intended, but she's adorable). this is Honey:



originally, i intended to eventually put her in with my first leo, Echo. then realised that she might actually be a 'he', so not going with that idea. Echo used to have an upright glass 'vivarium', which is now spare, as i bought her a new one not too long ago. so i figured i'd convert the glass tank into a sliding door vivarium, and as Honey likes climbing much more than my lazy Echo ever did, i decided i'd try my hand at a proper fake background. so i'm going to show you, as i'm ecstatically happy with it

after the first layer of grout:



a lot more grout:





and very nearly finished. just need glass and runners, plants, and a bit more grout on a few hides:



i know there's a lot better on here, but this is my first attempt, and i had to do it fairly quickly, as i kinda stole our dining room table, and was told to move everything as quickly as possible =p

how are you planning on doing this?

i was actually just planning to use something like a hot glue gun to put the runners in, as i assume you would with any viv build...
