Hey everyone!
I have been thinking about building my own tank for Bandit. I will first tell you what im doing, then ask questions. I am going to build a tank out of wood, with a plex-glass sliding door in the front, and on the inside make 'fake rock'.
1.) What wood would be best? He wont, probably, ever be indirect contact with the wood...but I just want to see anyway
2.) Any good ideas for building a sliding front door?
3.) Making fake rock
--3a.) I have read a lot about using a type of Styrofoam to build the fake rock base, is that correct?
--3b.) I have also read about layering the Styrofoam with granite (or something), is that correct?
--3c.) Paint, what kind of paints should I use...or how should I...color the granite?
--3d.) Clear finish, I read that there should be a sealing/clear coat finish? True? How many layers? etc
4.) Any other advice?
I am pretty handy at building things, just need to know info. Mostly concerned about my poopers health. Thanks!
