Just have to "forget to mention" the 2 flame throwers on it...
and then when they are standing in front of it to "judge" the quality say,
I think you'd might want to rate it at an excellent level... or else...

hmmm... then let me rephrase:

Well... now you have turned your mod into something that will win any modding exposition!!!

I owe you an update for far too long now.
That happens when someone has too much hobbies.

Anyway after my recent HDD crash I lost a lot of pictures but I managed to salvage some of them in my backups.
But sadly I have lost a lot of pictures documenting the welding of the tank.

Have fun watching/reading!

Further development on the source code on the still old platform.

I bent an aluminium strip around the tube to cut it in a straight line with my plasma cutter.

This part is a bit trial and error, to get the look and feel 'just right'.
It has been simply tacked to allow reloaction if is doesn't work for me.

The steel has been hammered till it was bent like this.
After that it had been rolled by and english wheel and cut down to size.

I cut out the sides by tracing it over and then cutting it out.
After that I bend it to its shape and then welded it down.

The tacks are good to see on this image, a small part has been completely welded.

I welded some reenforcements to the body to make it more rigid, also the hood and cylinders are mounted.
As you can the it doesn't fit yet like it should.

This is the back side.
The space between the cylinders is too small, I will make some provisions in the hood to compensate for this.

The front side is mounted and welded.

A picture for the overall look.

A front side view with the blue ray placed at its position it will come.

After I desided on the blue ray's position I welded its supports to the body.
Aditionally this provides a rigid body.

This is how the blue ray will be mounted.

And it even fits under the hood still

I want the cap to be removable, that is why I welded strips to the body on which the cap can be bolted.

The tack welds can be seen clearly while it is beeing shaped to the right position.

An overview of the welded strips, this makes it quite rigid.

The cap has been rounded slightly.

Next step was the mounting of the cap in the middle, this cap cannot be removed because it needs an fixed position needed by the blue ray player.

A side view of the tank.

This is how the rear hood is mounted, I will weld a piece of rod to make it fit perfectly.

An opening was needed for the blue ray player for the cd's, this has to be on exactly the right height.
The edges are kind of sharp, this needs to be solved because it will damage cd's.

Yes it fits!

I took a tube of brass and grinded a thin slot in it.

After trimming the brass I clamped it to the body, now the cd's are safe.

I soldered the brass to the body with my hot air soldering station.

The welding of the rod can be seen here.

I made some space in the hood needed for the cylinders this will be made on 2 positions to make it symmetrical.

I also made a small image of the TIG welding:

I wanted to make a screen in front of the tank where I could change the settings for the tank.
I recently changed the design but still wanted to show it to you.

It incorporated a flap which could slide in front of the screen to protect it.

I glued it together with the sliding mechanics.

So far this update,

I hope you like it

Looking good! This is going to be so awesome once it's done.

I'm going to need your help in the near future Cyclonite! I'm already working on way too many things right now but you should be expecting an email soon

Awesome work by the way. Kind of goes without saying that I love it but I'll say it anyway! Will be watching the rest of your work!
