show me your diy backgrounds
 

Looking for ideas, tips etc. As once we buy a house I'll be building a nice fw tank and want to do a diy background. So I'm looking for ideas and stuff. Or if you've seen one online in your travels you liked please share it here.

I have been reading up on it a bit so just looking for further inspiration:-P thanks

Not sure I can post someone else's pic from another site. But the shadowbox idea is amazing. There's a wicked one RC. One problem with it on a SW tank is that as coraline grows on the back it'll look weird. But with a FW tank I just might work really well.

Actually if you google shadow box it comes up so try this:

Yeah shadow box is probably something I'll incorporate into a diy 3D background I want to have depth and pop so a bit of both :-P
