Here is a link to the way Rob does it. He has others too. Click on his picture and view his profile. You can find all of his threads. He has a ton of good information. Here is the enclosure and background tutorial.

Another thing you can do to answer a lot of your questions is to use the search button. Its right under where it says Welcome, urname. Click on it, type in what you want. You will get lot of information but you will get the hang of it. Welcome to the boards.

Hey, man. I believe we also have that sort of information in the forum board for the Philippine Tarantula and Scorpion Society. Local, kumbaga. You might want to check it out.

Yeah, the search function can also help a lot.

Seconded, you could probably sell those if you were willing to make more

That is some high quality ARTISTIC stuff! I really like RobC's design for its simplicity and efficiancy (sp?), but yours looks like it would require some skill during the "highlighting" process. Nice work and def. a money making idea

Thanks for the compliments on the background every one.
Its pretty straight forward but I may make a tutorial if there would be interst in it. Or if you just want to know more let me know.

And for those that don't have time, you should consider making some and selling them.

I agree, make the tutorial. Thats a very nice looking background.

You should definitely make a tutorial on how to make those highlights with the paint. I think most of us can manage to make the basic background cut from insulation foam, but those painting skills just blew my mind completely. It looks very real.
