Article on Creating Foam Backgrounds

[Fnic99]

I was just looking on another forum and came across this article on making false rocks and foam backgrounds. Although the intended use is for reptiles, I thought it might be useful for aquariums. The end result looks really good.

Amember in the piranha section did one of the best 3d backgrounds I've seen. Below is a link to an article he posted on another forum, but it is in French, pics are interesting though.

Ya I just wish he would get the english version posted, If I end up building a plywood tank I would like to do a background like that.
