Well, its day two of the project and I have finished the middle section, now its time to check and make sure it fits.. Remember the plywood that was cut to the exact demensions of the back of the tank? In cutting and carving the pieces, you use this plywood templet as a guide to insure you are getting eveything the right size. My tank has a glass brace in the middle so I had to make the pieces small enough to fit in between the side and the brace, thats the reason for three pieces..I simply marked the location of the brace on the plywood, you can also draw out the shape of the rockwork on the plywood to use as a rough guide..

Below is my tank after it was emptied and awaiting the background. I built all the light hood and etc. years ago for this tank and finished the whole thing with a special spray, can't remember the name now.

This picture is of the background after completion of the carving and heating, note the pieces are a little small, this is to allow room for the cement coating.
