So with the '07 tank build wrapping up, I had a few pictures to share but thought I'd start a fresh thread for the tank in GRD. I'll update this thread with growth shots, pictures, and changes as they happen. Last night I spent some time organizing links from the build, mostly for my reference, but I thought someone could use it as well. Here's the tank as of today.
