Nice Work, love your realistic painting to finish it off.
This is amazing, beautiful work, yet simple (simple is good and clean), and functional. Liked reading the directions on how to, straight forward as well as mentioning the exact names of all the required supplies. I have had a Leopard Gecko since I was about 7 years old and I want to give his home a 3D rock background out of foam. Did a google search and this was the first site I went into that had exactly the list of materials I wanted and the simple how to. I knew foam, but I was unsure of the rest and you filled me in. I registed for the site just so I could see your pictures and it was so worth it, because what you have made is exactly the same type of thing I was picturing in my head, just a different layout. Thanks for sharing your artwork and experience.
You barely left me with any questions, but I have three if you don't mind answering?
1.)Even though you painted over the grout what color was the grout? Was it Dyed Grout to help with the finished look after painting, I have noticed when painting other stuff that sometimes whats deep under the paint effects the final look sometimes even after plenty of coats.
2.) Did you just paint with the colors you wanted to get your look or after it all was there a Paint clear coat or cover so it doesn't come off when you have to wipe the finished product to clean. Don't know much about latex paint and foam.
3.) Almost same as above, but regarding a higher level of waterproofing. If I want to mold/carve a spot into the bottom of the foam so I can set his water dish into so it looks like its part of the rock background. Do I have to further seal the nontoxic latex acrylic paint? I don't know anything about water proofness of mentioned used paint. Does the nontoxic latex acrylic paint stay safe and sealed in action if it sees water?
Cheers
Hope none of these questions have already been asked.
