Re: Having a hard time deciding on new mantella vivarium, help!
Well i have some styrofoam carved up but i have alot more to carve lol. ITS SO MESSY bUt its worth it. This set up is probably goin to take more effort then what my other set ups have. Today i plan to make the white rack skeleton and see if i want to use my driftwood "towers".
I started an album of my set ups but i have to say most of my setups look way better now lol. Most of those pics are 3-4 years old but i do have updated photos im going to add soon. Speaking of which how do i show my pics of what ive done to this new set up so far?

. So not wanting to have my son out in bad weather, ive started on the styrofoam parts again. Some pieces im starting to put my base coat of paint on. Im starting off with a metallic black to give it a bit of a natural shimmer then im going to move on to the other colors and texture. Im still moving the driftwood around to see where they would make the best sense of positive & negative space as well as a sense of depth. Yesterday i made my first rough sketch of one placement idea and shortened my list of plants. Today i may make another sketch with an alternative placement idea for my hardscape and plants. I will also be doing more styrofoam sculpting yaye! Later today i WILL post pics of what ive been doing in a new album!
