I'm not sure if you're planning to build fake rock backgrounds or do something else. If you want to build fake rock ones, there should be plenty of examples in the DIY section. Before I got overwhelmed with tanks, I made backgrounds this way: I googled images of Pakistan and Afghanistan landscapes and printed them out. Then I glued them onto some really nice looking paper, laminated them and taped them to the back of the tank.

You could use some form of carved foam and make a rocky background which you can remove to clean and make neat little hides and tunnels.

The rear wall is from polystyrene, the rock is from Styropur. Afterwards I covered the whole with Flieskleber 3 time. 4 times with toning colors and sand mixes.
I tinker gladly simply straight on without largely plans to make, become so best with me.

little advise for anyone planning to make one
1. make it remove-able (i didnt and i am going to wish i did)
2. measure, measure, measure or you will end up with problems!

little help for me
1. do you have to use paint?
2. do you have to seal it? if so with what?
