After


Stand was built by Brian (Corsi1330) and he did an excellent job on it, more than i expected!

This is my first time painting anything and i tried my best not to ruin this incredible stand :p

Took me about 3 days to paint this... i guess i kept taking "breaks" from it so it should of been done a little sooner. I added a layer of polyacrylic so the water that splashes on there will slide off.

Nice looking stand. Are the holes the rear wall for ventilation?

I was really nervous painting this stand, i just didnt want to mess it up since it was my first time :xd:

nivram- yes the holes are for chords and tubing but it can be used as ventilation too i guess :)

It looks awesome Ben!

Glad you didn't mess up Brian's work too! lol
I know he put some time in that bad boy.

I like the two-tone paint. Keep up the eye-candy.

Very Impressive Ben. Love the stand. I think that ones tank stand and canopy is a very important piece of furniture and should be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Well done. Al
