Good to know. Time is a thing that I have very little of lately! I'm working on three skeletons, my tank, and working 5 14 hr shifts a week, plus doing maintenance on 5 aquariums in town for extra cash, and cleaning my house and my own aquariums. lol. I've got a slightly full plate, but I'm in search of a different job where I can make a lil more money while working a few less hours!:headbang2

we all support you as much as we can we would all love to see it finished but we want to see it done right. if that takes a few extra months then so be it just so long as you don't quit and leave us all hanging cause then we might have to hunt you down lol

I think the two of us and everyone else are on a whole nother page, but that's ok. I guess it applies to both the skeletons I'm doing and this tank. I'm really loving the way the tank is turning out, and I'm also amazed at the skeletons I'm doing. I'm all about learning, and every skeletong I do, and every board I put on that tank I learn a ton. :D I'll have some more pics of skeletons for this thread tomorrow. Some of the dat and some of a Jag that I'm working on. I'll be moving in a more traditional way with my skeletons soon. Getting a colony of dermestid beetles to be my little helpers. Those little guys are awesome.:headbang2 Everyone on here is awesome too:headbang2:headbang2
