Metal monster 3k

Re. tiling/finishes: look into steel-float concrete. Templates and concepts can be nicked from people/websites talking about concrete countertops. Use fibreglass instead of (or along with) steel: very tough. Can finish with any food/potable-grade sealant as would be used in a rendered water tank. A little white/light grey, grey and ochre all rippled & mottled with an occasional embedded shell behind that Tiger would look... good.

Subfloor/tank bottom has been put down and crack patched....decieded to hit it with a couple coats of Ames Blue Max liquid rubber just because i have it on hand from previous projects. Figure it cant hurt in protecting the wood from any leaks down the road. Need to level out the subfloor a bit somehow due to the grade of the basement floor, then its time to bring the frame in.

You are killing me man come on with the updates!!! LOL. I can't wait to see this one done with all your big Monsters in it!!

And remember I am only a few cities away if you ever need any good FREE help!!!
 
Having seen this, I'm at a loss as to why anyone would use wood. How much would you charge a customer for the welding you've done on that frame?
 
Is steel necessary, or just what you had lying around? It seems like this could be done in aluminum, which is a little more readily available in premade sizes at any hardware store.
