After i had completed phase one of my project

I thought i better get my rear into gear and make a start at a fakie background...... Please don't be harsh this is my first attempt.
I have used 2 space boards from B&Q (1200 x 500 x 50.4mm)@ £4.95 each. I stared off by marking all of the shapes of the stones i wanted onto the board and set to hacking all of the bit off i didn't want with a drill and suitable wire brush attachment.
Here is the result of all that hacking.
After that i added some basking ledges for the beardies. To get these to stay in place i put recesses the background and used kebab skewers to steady, and dabbed some adhesive to ensure fixing.
Then it was on with the first layer of watered down grout
More updates soon, what do you think for a start ?
