Thanks guys. Not alot to report today, i found a imperfection in the paint (needed the right angle of sunlight to see it) that I couldn't live with, so i have just spent ~30 hours sanding back, repainting and getting ready to repolish the whole thing tomorrow....grrrr

In better news, i was able to polish the doors and get the vinyl wrap applied to the internal side, so that its pretty and white :D

Of course, with the obligatory sports pack to go with the cool panel shot :p haha

30hrs, christ man, I wouldn't play with myself for 30hrs, hope your misses bought you some refreshments along the way!

Last couple of days have been spent getting the stand ready to move. I have applied car-wrap heat treated vinyl to the internal surfaces of the cabinet. This allowed me to have the interior white and bright without the hassle of painting a dual color scheme. I have also used a recycled and compressed poly board for the base that is completely impervious to water, i will seal the stand and base with silicone to create a mini-bund for WHEN i spill something in there. The same poly board will be used to make the power-board plate.

And then today, a little impromptu but i had a mate drop in and visit today, so i promptly put him to work.
We moved a couch, then relocated the 3x2x2 tank across the living room, then brought the new semi-completed stand into location :)
Plus i pick up the tank next weekend, bulkheads, ATI PM and LED's will arrive tomorrow ;)

p.s. Dont mind the RSM130D in the background. Thats not the tank i relocated.....thats just another of our four tanks.

Got some more goodies today...including my ATI PM! If i can be excused for a minute to borrow a younger generations colloquial slang.....WOOOOOT!!!

On the snowboard front, brought that in to advertise for sale, but i haven't even used it, so i've put my Burton mission bindings on and gonna go give it a quick run tomorrow morning before i head out to Brissy drinking with QLD reefers for the weekend :)

Big thanks to my go to mate Chris, for helping move tanks and stuff around. Your a legend buddy :cheers:
