More Projects Finished! (Lots of Pics)

[Wreptile]

Hey Everyone!
I've mentioned that I have been working on multiple new projects, and I've finally finished them all. What inspired me to do these, is I got a great deal on Craigslist for 3 ten gallons, for $10. They all were in decent condition, just needed to be cleaned out.
Now that I am finished, none of my Leo's will be in tubs anymore. Click here for the list, and pictures to match up who's living where.
A lot of you might remember Gecko Mountain v1. from awhile back. I have made changes to the technique used, and feel that these new projects will work out much better.
This is the first one that I finished. It is called "The Gecko Cave" because it's all black with some silver. Shadow lives with this one.

After a few layers of black grout.

Finished with Black grout.

Added some finishings touches with shiny silver.

Finished.

The next project that I did has a Canyon type look to it. I really like how this one turned out. Al will live in this one.
The first stage. I took out the two support pillars, annd put one big one for extra support.

After initial grouting, and some color.

Side view.

All grout added.

After finishing touches.

This last one, I'm not sure what to compare it to yet. Tango will live in this one.
After first layer of grout, with a testing stage of color.

those are pretty cool, I bet you could sell those on your oregon herp hides site and like you know people ask you to make one, they give you ther dimensions, color, and you could make em. I bet you would make bank. A lot of people seem to like your work.

The only problem is, it's very time consuming. Also the shipping wouldn't be very cheap, because you'd need a big box.
I'll consider it though.

wow I've made stuff like that in the past but it never worked out like i wanted it to.. The grout would crack, ect ect... What kind of sealant did you use? Any tips?! The sculpting i had no problem with, it was jus wen I used grout or sealant!!
