Looks really good ive always wanted to do one of these in my tank but worry about the painting

Is there a secret trick to get the colours right ? or do oyu just splash it on and hope for the best ?

Or you could just do me one

carnt wait to see the tank full and running

All I did on the painting was just mix a little try it and mix it again till it looks right. When I get more of the resin I'm going to try to do a green color to put around to look like moss hopefully.

Sure but my my wife might kill me for making another mess,that styrofoam goes everywhere.

Oh me either, its been in my head for a good six months so I'm getting a little impatient now thats its getting close

Ok I got more resin yesterday and applied a dark green color on my background to hopefully make it look a little bit more natural, let me know what you guys think.
