At my house, in "everyday" inside light the tank looks alot more coppery-gold, but we don't see the sun much in Washington. LOL

Usually when a color shows up on a photo that I didn't see in regular lighting with the naked eye, I hold it under a regular light bulb and easily see that color. But that blue in the goldfleck... I don't know if I've been able to find it any where but in a photo.

I'm not a big fan of square .... not that they aren't great mods, and people love Reos, but I just don't care for the "square-ness". LOL But I have seen wood mods that are square, but rounded, and they look great to me. Maybe it's the wood.

I love anything made of wood, we live in a log cabin and with the exception of our couch every other piece of furniture is log as well!

Oh, gawd ... here we go. Looking at these pics I just thought of something. Do you think you could do an Eye of Horus?

I've got a pic here someplace.

I don't know about that, is there a wife that is going to call me up irate in the middle of the night after she sees your credit card bill??? :p We love selling tanks and getting business, but I do not want to become a home wrecker, might have to cut you off.

On a serious note, the run we are working on now has all been planned and started. It would not be until the next big run, unless we do a small one like this one before. This run is 20 tanks and 90% of it is custom requests.

Cool!. I have sent email asking for a special size for my orion. If it is possible I'd like purple, blue and gold flecks.
I just simply love this tank and I'd love to have one on my orion. The one I just got is about 5 mm to long though.

Purple has been a problem. We have not found a glass yet that is a good purple color, they are either too dark and come out looking black or more of a blue. We have ordered some more samples to play with.

If you have a custom request shoot as email. We do not commit you until it is complete, BUT we do not make any promises we will get to your custom request. If you request it in the forum I guarantee it will never get done.

How often can you get runs out moorea? I have no idea how long it takes ....

If need be we can get 50 - 100 done a week. Of course I don't know if I can photograph them and get them on the website that quickly :ohmy:

Right now however we have no plans for a 50 - 100 tank run as we need to sell some of what is up there to invest in more supplies. I was wanting to break even before I did any more, but our custom request list was getting long and I didn't want people to lose interest, hence the small run. I did however wait until we got to 20 tanks, as it is too expensive to run the oven at the needed temp for such a long time without at last 20 in there.

We will have a run of at least another 20 before then, but I am really thinking we will be doing a run of 50 or more by early February as the pickin' is getting slim on the sight as it is.

Moving forward, I will post while we are creating our supply list for the next run and give everyone a last chance to get their special requests in!

But your tall boy is already on the list for this weekends run. I figured I'd hold it for you until you were ready this way I would be sure it got done or if you didn't like the way it comes out it would give us another run before your birthday to get it right.
