bosshog Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Looks good. I like how you did the rock work, supported with the piping. For your background go to a sign shop and pick up some sign vinyl goes on easy and is pretty easy to peel off later. It's available in whatever color you want and will only cost you a couple bucks.

That is a wonderful idea! Never would have thought of it. Any idea who would carry that sort of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosshog Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Indy signs does lots of vinyl work they should have what you need. Not sure who else may have some check the yellow pages for sign makers, there should be lots. Indy isn't too far from your place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karazy Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 looks exelent. is all your rock held up by pipes or did u find some really nice pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharuq1 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Pretty much all held up by pipes. Some of it was just base rock that has become live over 2 yrs (bought from another hobbyist)--but because it was the aquarium store type had nice big holes in it so we could thread those pieces right through the pipe. (like the "tower" on the right side there is mostly that with a regular piece of LR on top). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
