Very nice

 

[MiamiLeos]

what are these made from?

they are made from polystyrene/styrofoam, several layers of non sanded grout, a few layers of acrylic paint, and non toxic grout sealer :main_yes:

they arent as shiny in person as they are in the photos. i didnt take the flash off lol:main_rolleyes:

are they easy to keep clean?

 

[MiamiLeos]

yea very. the sealant is water resistant. its the kind you use on tile flooring. to spot clean anything i just take a damp cloth and wipe. for thorough cleanings i use either a mild bleach solution or wipe out and go over the whole thing with a damp towel and let dry. nothing sticks to them and the color doesnt come off because of the sealant. i use the same method as lizard-landscapes.com. it's an awesome webpage and the guy has some real killer stuff.

thanks for sharing. those are cool. I started a few hides but wasn't sure what to seal them with. I'll look into the grout sealant.

you can also use mod podge to seal them. it's sold in art supply stores. any sealant that is non toxic.
