Ok peeps as you all know im building this. I think i took something on to big as this is my 2nd time at doing the fakerock scene and need some painting advice There is going 2 be backing paper on there with the desert scene and im going to paint a sky on the top under side of the viv. Or do you think im getting there slowly with the last 2 pics. Im trying 2 get the burnt red rock look for my bearded dragon viv. And im not getting anywhere looks more like a landscape from mars So all you peeps which have built fake rock with this colour could you help. this is it as to now.

If I'm picturing what you want your fake rocks to look like then check out this link Terrain Guide: Rock Outcroppings | Battlebarge

If you don't fancy painting it like that (will take a long time to paint to that level of detail!) Then use the dry brushing technique and a ink wash over what you have already done. If you wanna see what you can achieve by dry brushing check out my Viv build (link is in my signature).

Hope this helps

Hi shorty with reply to your message, i got the colour/effect of my background by gluing a red substrate as a under coat, then going over it with a orange substrate that i bought from local pet store.
