steampunk tank.

Got bored, etched some copper sleaves for my liquinators. Going to make a brand new tank with these eventually. (poly carb innards, don't worry )

They look sweet! Nice job!

Looks nice and weathered. I like it.

 

[mianker]

Nice look.

Great idea Lance. More please.

as soon as my poly carb tubing gets here I'll be making a bunch of tanks. still working on the etching process, it's fine for the rough weathered look above but if I want something clean it's not gonna work the way I'm doing it. Gotta get some other resist material.

How are you doing it, if I may ask?

 

[Lance_Wallen]

electrolytic etching. it's like plating but the other way around. I can go into more detail if you want but it becomes a long post then

Ahh thanks for the info, I'm sure there's some youtube just waiting for me on the topic. Still, it looks cool.

I came up with an idea similar to this the other day in a thread. Nice to actually see something come to life, even if it wasn't my idea lol

I'm toying with making tanks and mods with more of a cosmetic appeal than the stuff on the market currently.
my next project is an entire copper tube mod etched with some other steampunky flare to it. Then I'm gonna make some other themes for fun.

I would go for this before i would a wooden mod. Wood is pretty and all, but not something I want to carry around all day. Wood breaks, rots, cracks, all kinds of things. I don't think anybody would disagree that metal is more durable. Wood is pretty, for a bookshelf, for boats, cabinets, even chairs. But not really something I would carry into the office with me. Camping in the woods, sure! Makes ya look very rustic I guess. Just not my personal preference for a good mod.

wood mods are hot! but they belong at home on a desk being taken care of. I want a pretty wooden mod one day to have on my desk as a glamor vape

vv reo woodvil ftw!

Exactly. If I want something sexy to put on my desk, I'll have my fiancee dress up in some lingerie and have her sit there instead

haha me and my buddy was talking about doing that the other day, That's awesome, well done man!
