Fake rock build - Pics

That is amazing, I might try some of this, What paint would u use on it...if u r going to?

[JoshN]

I think any type of paint works, although on some practice pieces i used cheap water based paint and it ended up having lots of tiny little popped bubbles. So I'm going to use some acrylic paint once I've grouted.

There's lots of tutorials on the internet if you have a look around.

Thats looking really good, but you spent a few hours already and still loads to do

[Whosthedaddy]

Looks just right in my opinion.

thats going to be one happy gecko, my viv im building is about that size, ofcourse I won't copy your design but I just like the idea of using poly as fake rocks. Show us when you've painted it, would love to see it, good luck with it.

Thanks guys!
Yes, it's took about 10 hours already, and that's the easiest part. In my opinion there is no point in rushing it.

And Kaluoda if you have a look around this forum you can see many peoples fake rock designs.

Done my first coat of grout tonight, and well, it was really hard! Struggled allot to get to hard to reach areas and got it all over the flooring and wood. Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to scrape/sand off once it's dried.
