Used one of the tanks from the season 3 Blu-Ray case to make this mod. Did a resin casting with some green pigment for the water look. Lit it up with a comet led strip. Was installed using a couple brackets drilled into the top of the back board. Here are a couple of pics before installation. It is currently out on location at Olaf's in Seattle. image-946.jpgimage-946.jpgimage-87.jpgimage-87.jpg

No base. A small L bracket is fastened to the tank with screws and nuts, above the resin line. When installed, the tank has a black lid on it, so you can't see the mounting hardware. The led strip was put on the lid too, so it's lit from the top.

The heads have a hook on them that attach to the back of the tank. The resin needed to be poured in 2 batches about 5 hours apart. First pour went around mouth level. The lid and a little weight kept the heads from floating up.

I might be persuaded.

I agreed to sell the other one I have. If there was more interest I could try to source some more cases.
