New fbt 20h build

That is fantastic. I can't wait to see the finished product. Lol....a few days? I think something like that would take me a few months.

very impressive build, well done. the idea of embedding the vine into the background is a nice touch. thought of that myself after my overhaul but meant cutting out the foam between the "rocks" so gave it a miss. look forward to the updates.
good luck with the rest of the project.

looks good cant wait to see more, I want to do a rock B.G. but it sucks cause Im color blind so when it comes to painting it its hit and miss. s6stic6l- I couldn't agree more MAN is the Cancer of the earth

That rock background looks wicked!

I've read a couple of posts saying they used egg crate, or egg box to raise the land part for drainage. Is egg crate something different in the US, 'cos in UK an egg crate is a cardboard box, so obviously no good for a water drainage area.... is it something different in America?

What we are calling eggcrate is a drop ceiling light diffuser. No eggs were harmed in this build.

Also s6t6 the vines is epoxied rope w/coir imbeded, then gorila glued on bg.

Still not entirely sure I know what you mean, but a quick look on good old ebay brought things like this up.......






Is this the kind of thing you mean? Like a rigid plastic grid?

Nice ,i could imagine how excited you are working on this project.

Yes I used the 1 in your first picture the cheapest they make is fine. Lots of people will use them for false bottoms, i used it for kinda a suspended bottom. Hope that helped.
