Just finished up this 3D background for my local Cichlid club I am a member of for our upcoming auction next weekend. We always raffle off a 75g setup at each of the club's auction and every year I make a 3d background to donate to the club to help raise some money.
I've been doing these hand carved foam 3D backgrounds for about 5 years now. I do them out of closed cell foam and carve them with various knives, foam scrapers, wood burners and such. Then coat them in drylok, paint and shade them with fusion paint and then seal them in pond armor two part clear sealer.

So just finished this one up this morning.
