very nice mate and welcome to the forum!, only thing i would suggest is handling the chrome tank with your fingers, ive never tried building one of these tanks but some have on here and have no doubt will past on tips on how to assemble it without leaving fingerprints on it, seems to be a common problem.

Use a damp cloth and rub it down carefully (much like you would clean spectacle lenses). For handling it -- I bought a bag of 50 latex gloves (cost me around GBP2) that I put on when I'm handling stuff that's sensitive to fingerprints.

thanks for the tips i will try damp cloth to clean it up but as for the gloves my hands are to big for them when i have used them in the past for other stuff they just split in mins. hence my user name b19ste (bigste)i am 6f 6in tall with hand like dinner plates lol
